    zero turn recommendations

    You do realize the box store home-owner grade John Deere mowers are not made by John Deere? If memory serves me correct, they out source to MTD like many others. With that said, I also have a 20 year old cheapy craftsman and parts are a non-issue.

    zero turn recommendations

    My Gravely ProTurn has a very nice fully adjustable air ride seat with arm rests, pretty damn comfortable! You should try one, it’d run circles around that ol belly mower and you’ll be less fatigued when you done 2 hours later with that 9 acres!

    zero turn recommendations

    Lots of good brands out there. If you thinkings of going to a zero turn the best advised I was told and will pass along, get yourself a low hour commercial machine over a new homeowner machine if money is of concern. The commercial machines are simply built better, cut better, and last way...

    Unleaded gas - premium vs regular (non-ethanol gases)

    If your turning your fuel over regularly, the answer is there is no benefit if the engine isn't designed to take advantage of the higher octane. In fact, it can actually produce harder starts as the fuel is tougher to ignite. With that said, most small engines don't get used on a regular basis...

    Sump pumps/pits, discharge hoses, etc.

    For us, between the house and the cabin. I have Yo-link sensors at the cabin in the sump and sewage pits, water sensors along the base boards in a few locations in the basement, temp & humidity sensor along with wifi thermostat, and some water sensors under the kitchen sink, behind the fridge...

    Losing my best friend.

    Not that it's a replacement, but go get a pup right now if you have an inkling that your going to continue owning a dog. Sounds like you have one other now so that might be consoling when that time comes. When I lost my first brittney, it hit me awfully hard. I expected he'd be around another...

    Stratos Boats

    That is the current situation. A little interesting history about stratos & triton boats. Stratos boats was originally formed by Earl Bentz back in the 80s. Earl then sold Stratos to OMC (Evinrude / Johnson) and became President of OMC fishing boat company. He then started Javelin boats shortly...

    You’ll be surprised. Those that can afford to purchase or make those type of payments are in better shape than you think.

    So...Recession?

    One thing I like to keep in mind, for as many as I look around at and think are leveraged to the hilt, there are just as many that have that shit paid for. Tack on a considerable amount of generational wealth and I think many people would be surprised. There's also never been an easier time to...

    So...Recession?

    You do realize that 55% of the US population is over the age of 35, and 33% is over the age of 50. The boomers are at retirement age and the older gen x's aren't far away. Health care is going to be in high demand for the next 30+ years. So you have a high percentage of population leaving the...

    So...Recession?

    Your wife was a RN and had a tough time finding a job back in 08/09? That seems odd recession or not. Health care is one thing that's damn near recession proof. My wife had just became an NP and finding a job wasn't an issue. Now finding a job that didn't involve shift work and in a department...

    camper mattress

    As someone else mentioned, measure the one you have. You might think it's a king but often times the camper mattresses are shorter and true king might not fit if the bedroom slide slides in tight against a cabinet or wall like our last couple did. What we did with our last three campers was...

    Another winter storm

    As far as I'm concerned, it can either do nothing, or it can dump 3 feet, I'm good with either; but don't dump 3" every day with wind. it doesn't stop me from haveing to live my normal day to day and I still have to sit in the tractor and move the shit every day!

    Used or new UTV

    Yeh, so was I..........They are not the most reliable of machines and I've yet to be impressed with one. Are they better than the Chinese knock offs, absolutely and by a bunch but that's not saying much in this segment. Motors are so so, clutches are garbage, good luck getting more than 3-5k...

    Used or new UTV

    I would agree to disagree, some machines are simply built better and there's no way around it. The major brands are certainly better than the off brands like odes and such but that's not saying any are super steller, especially with them costing damn near what a small pickup costs. Frankly, to...

    Used or new UTV

    Consider a Kawasaki Mule Pro FX or FXT (2 door / 4 door). These are bullet proof machines that use an actual Chinese car engine instead of a power-sports engine. Quiet, reliable, use an actually alternator instead of a stator for electrical power, and have a reasonable amount of accessories...

    I need a plane with a window that opens. Going to shoot that balloon down

    Hmmmm, shoot it down over the US and have two school buses worth of equpment fall to the ground unguided seems like a good chance for some fatalities. Also, in the back of a persons mind you have to wonder if there are any biological or chemical weapons aboard that would be released when it hits...
