    Honda EU2000i and Mower oil choice

    I have 2 Honda EU2000 generators and a new Honda Commercial HRC216 mower. I was using the Honda 10-30 but just bought 3 gallons of Delo 400 XLE 10w30. It was $15 a gallon with a $7 rebate from Chevron. Meets the spec and was $2 a quart. The Honda oil was $4 a quart.

    9mm vs. .40 s&w

    I have had a Glock 22 since 1992. Still carry it in the winter time. Accurate and powerful, my carry loads are 165gr Winchester HP's. Here is something I observed yesterday at our local Bi-Mart store (03-21-2020) that was interesting. All the 45acp, 9mm, 380, 38 & 357 was gone but the supply of...

    Ariens L-3 Synthetic Severe-Duty Gear Lube

    I just bought 2, 8oz bottles of this stuff for $22 on Amazon. I know it's expensive for what it is, but these 2 bottles will last a lifetime for my Sno-Tek snowblower. In the 2 years I have used it 20 hours total. I don't know the actual change interval, but I check the level every year and will...

    Handheld blower recommendation

    Echo PB 2620 is a great handheld blower. Comes with 2 nozzle ends and has more power than my Stihl BG86. Wipes the snow of my snowblower with ease. Not the lightest handheld, but has really good air speed. My neighbor bought the Hitachi blower mentioned above and he really likes it. It really is...

    New chainsaw with catalytic converter

    My new Makita EA5000 chainsaw had a converter. I ordered the non-cat muffler online and swapped it out. I also removed the carb. limiters and tuned it with a tach. Runs really good now and much cooler. I use Klotz Super Techniplate at 40-1 in all my 2 stroke equipment except my new Echo PB 2620...

    What's your favorite handgun?

    Hands down, my S&W model 53 with both cylinders (no inserts). Remington 22 Jet is really fun to shoot and reload for. Finding .222 bullets can be a hassle sometimes. The .22 LR is very accurate. Loudest handgun (22 Jet) I own !!

    Update on my Stihl BG 86

    You want a powerful hand held blower, look at the Echo PB-2620. I bought one a few months ago and this thing makes my old BG-86 look anemic.

My load is 25.1 grains of H322, Berger 52gr flatbase BR bullet, CCI BR4 primer, in fire formed and neck turned Lapua 220 Russian cases. Zero neck clearance. Just engaging the lands on closer. It's a...

    .22LR Handgun for targets / plinking - any favorites?

    I have 4 .22 pistols and shoot them more than all the others. One is a Kimber 22 conversion kit on top of a Caspian 1911 frame with Harrison Design internals. It's always in my range bag and loves CCI Mini-Mags. I also have a Smith and Wesson 41 which is much more accurate than I am but can be...

    35 cc Honda, 4-stroke oil

    I have had one for three years now. I change the oil every 7-10 hours of use. Using only 3.4 ounces of oil, a quart of Honda 10w30 oil that costs $3.59 at the local North 40 Outfitters and the ease of changing the oil makes this an easy decision. I also adjust the valves every year which takes...

    What fuel are you running?

    I use 91 octane ethanol free fuel from our Chevron station. It's noted on the pump that it is not a Chevron product. All the local landscapers and tree trimmers use this fuel, along with all the diesel and gas motor homes with gasoline generators. I have been using it for the last 7 months with...
