I've been doing Roth IRA contributions and also hi yield savings account contributions in addition to 401K.

As someone who is, admittingly, not exactly knowledgable on the investing side of things. About 15 years ago I just looked at our companies 401K prospectus and picked one that had low fees and decent returns and went with it. I have not changed it since. These are the returns of my 401K the...

I've been running this Baxter adapter on my Crosstrek now for 30K miles (since new) and it took care of all the startup clatter since day one. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/bxp-ss-102-bk/make/subaru/model/crosstrek/year/2021

When I resealed the pan on my Crosstrek, I used this stuff. So far, so good. https://www.permatex.com/products/gasketing/gasket-makers/specialty-gasket-makers/permatex-automatic-transmission-rtv-gasket-maker-3-oz/

I use PRI-G in all my fuel for my small engines. https://priproducts.com/

Ahh, I see you are in Canada. That explains the prices. I paid $570 for my 550XP MKII (power head only) almost exactly 2 years ago from today.

A 550XP is a heck of a saw for a guy using like you do!

I just like cutting and we do heat our home with wood. It gives me something to do in the winter and is good exercise. I typically do most all of my cutting in December and January. I split in March/April and am out of the woods before the trees bud (and bugs come out). It's just my...

On smaller saws I prefer the 0.325 setup, it has a narrower kerf which can result in faster cuts, as the cutters are thinner and therefore not removing as much wood. I tried going to a 3/8 setup on my 346XP, and I didn't care for it.

OK, those are max power and max torque rpms and NOT "redline". Again, these saws turn in excess of 14K, no load. The "rev limiter" on chainsaws is done by keeping them properly tuned. Too lean and they will rev too high. Some have limiting coils which limit the rpms regardless of the state...

That's not it's redline! 🤣 They do that easily in the cut! Maybe that's their peak torque RPM or something. I have a ported 550XP MKII, ported 346XP and a ported 390XP. Also have a little T435 that I opened the muffler up on and advanced the ignition timing on. This is my 550XP. He did a...

So it seems if you are not using HPL for extended drain intervals, there is no reason to use HPL, as there are better options.

Any codes needed? Does the $25 flat rate include 5 gallon pails?

I was just about to ask this, as there is a noticeable difference in winter weather from N WI to S WI. I grew up in GB but now live near the Dells. Although, state-wide, we don't get as much snow as we used to. Lucky if the snowmobile trails are open now-a-days.

same here, but I've been all in in tech for the last 10-12 years.

I have no idea what I'm doing, but I must be doing something right for these annualized returns in my 401K.

I knew from a very young age that I -was- willing to sacrifice having kids for the lifestyle I wanted. I made sure not to give into the very first step in that process in a women's head....and that's marriage. I'll be 54 soon and NEVER married and never plan to be. Sure, it cut down on the...

I've got a '21 Limited (2.5L) as a daily driver and I -really- like it! My sister also has a '24 Premium and loves it as well. I'm 6'5" and don't have any issues with it. I wanted a NA engine. I'm not a fan of those small t/c'd motors manufactures are using these days.

If you watch a lot of his videos, he mentions "treemonkey" and he refers to him as the "godfather of performance chainsaws". He is the builder of my saws. He lives a couple hours from me. He is the guy in the video I posted above talking about lack of lubrication on the 661 crank. I...

I ran HP2 in my saws for a few years and I liked it as well. Although when I looked at my spark screen after cutting this winter it had some tacky buildup on it. I spoke to the builder and he said that those very thick oils like HP2, Bel-Ray H1-R, Red Armor, etc may be a bit too thick to run...
