    Harbor Freight Auger

    Unless you use the auger pretty often... i would use what you use in the trimmer and dump out the fuel into the trimmers and run it empty as often as you can. I use 32:1 in my saws, trimmers and pole saw. Fuel sitting for long times in the carbs seem to cost more in the long run than premium oil...

    Keep it, Sell it or Trade it in?

    Keep it, Sell it, or Trade it in? Yes, Yes...No. Keep driving it, its free. If you are asking the question then obviously you want something different. I would list it for top of the market value then keep driving it until you get the right buyer. Take that cash and buy what you want...

    Cutting Trees

    I had to cut about 20 trees on my property this past month.. it was time. My dad planted a Mimosa in the front yard about 45 years ago.. while it was beautiful, it took about 40 years to get into the power lines. The rest were 100 year old or older oaks and many box elders (which i hate). Under...

    Accidently made the best turkey.

    I live in the country. I thawed mine in my birdseed can outside overnight. After about 20hrs it was still icy inside but soft on the outside. I finished off the thawing in the kitchen sink in warm water then used the hand sprayer with warm water to finish it off. No idea if thats the way to do...

I decided to cook the cheapo Kroger turkey this morning.. no expectations..it wasnt Butterball. I was gonna snack...

    Oil filters. Which ones you guys like / trust / recommend for normal condition driven sedans?

    For the money Fram Tough Guard. Reason- They look good cut open just about every time. No idea what your oil change interval is but they are good for 10K without even thinking about it.

    Sidebysides have 4 cylinders now.

    Good looking rig. People dont understand that there are guys that are into the rock and technical climbing, the guys into the dunes, the guys into the mud down south (have you seen the rigs with portals)?, i forgot about the rock bouncers as well.. those guys are NUTS! We dont need to talk...

    Sidebysides have 4 cylinders now.

    I knew when i posted this that there would be a percentage that says its a waste of money and a percentage that would complain about safety. There is no end to discussions about wastes of money. People buy jewelry, travel the world, wear expensive suits, and yes people live in mansions and have...

    Sidebysides have 4 cylinders now.

    The new RZR Pro R has a 4 cylinder 2.0L NA engine with 225hp and the top model is around $40K. Of course the game will change now, and the HP wars will begin with CanAm etc. They presold 400 of the $40K units and i think i read where they sold out in 90 seconds. Before you think about...

    Grocery price shopping?

    My mom and grandma pretty much only ate what was on sale. They both were into coupons as well. As a kid i remember them going to 5 or 6 grocery stores for the best prices. They were both housewives so they did their part to save money as best they could. Unless you are hung up on name brands...

    Went shopping for Turkey yesterday. Fail.

    Sav-A-Lot is advertising i think 89 cents a lb if you buy $25 worth of groceries.. i think thats a bad move on their part. In my area the news keeps talking about Thanksgiving being the most expensive ever..which is making people hoard up. Im not worried either way about the turkey.. I will...

    Hiking Boots?

I buy 2 pair at a time and they easily last a year or two each pair. By the time i am tired with them they have...

    NGK vs. Motorcraft vs. Something Else

    IF it was mine.. i would go with what came in it. Which is what i always do. My Ford calls for spark plug change at 100K but i bought it used.. so i changed them at 70K. Ran great before the plug change... installed motorcraft plugs and still runs great. Would it run better on NGK? i doubt...

    Went shopping for Turkey yesterday. Fail.

    Aldi has Butterball Turkey on sale .87 cent/lb and Bone in Turkey Breast (kirkland) for $1.59/lb. I think those are very fair prices. I planned on filling my freezer with both.. but neither were in my store. There are a couple of other Aldis within easy driving distance...and you cant call the...

    Junk car disposal

    Im not sure what im missing in your statement but if that vehicle was in my driveway i could sell it probably the same day. Possibly even trade it. I just traded a vehicle with a dead battery and needed an arm long list of things that was worth about $500 for $2500 in tree work. I have 2...

    Anybody shop at an Aldi supermarket?

    There are a few Aldis in my area and this is my take- Walmart, Sams, Target etc seem to be a family outing..people talking and wanting to spend a good bit of time away from home just looking and getting the full experience.. People are in no rush at all.. there is no mall in my area so its a...

    Stock up soon on gas powered yard and garden equipment?

    I dont like much of the new OPE.. My old troy bilt tiller, Echo Saw, Husqvarna trimmer, Troy Bilt Chipper, Honda Engine Push Mower and Champion Generators are still going. All of them worthy of fixing if needed as they do what i ask of them. If i had to buy something to replace them i would go...

    New 'muck' boot review.

    I needed a new pair of boots for outdoors.. something easy to get on and off, kept my feet dry and warm.. and didnt feel like 30lb frankenstein boots. I also didnt want a pair of $20 cheapos that lasted a month and hurt my feet. I also did not want to pay $200 for a pair of boots bought online...
