After 27 years of the business, I can't believe we've painted ourselves into this corner. I fear it will take repeated large scale outages to shed light on...

    NERC Assessment Identifies Largest Threat To Grid: Energy Policy

    Megavar, You must be on nightshift on a reliability desk? NERC got ahold of some truth on that one! The over-penetration of renewables is pushing grid reliability over the edge. Unicorns and rainbows will save us.

    Bargain price on Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 LT285/70R17 121Q

    Lame. The order went from "pending" to "delayed" status. Today it updated to "cancelled". They must be selling tires that don't exist.

    Rough used price on a few chainsaws looking to aquire.

    My two pennies: Insist on inspecting the cylinder. So many are scored by running extended lean fuel to air, or a low oil mixture....or no oil. If the cylinder is good, proceed on pricing negotiations from there. Paint missing on the bar means little. Check the bar for discoloration from...

    Appendix Carry Holsters

    Legacy, Vedder, MuddyRiver are brands that I have had positive experience with. IWB Appendix is my preferred CC application. If a person has any kind of belly, appendix carry doesn't work. As with anything, practice is necessary.

    RAM 2500 pickup owners: which 0w40 are you using and why?

    2020 Ram 2500 6.4 gasser. Bought it brand spanking new. I went in circles about which oil to use. I ended up at a backyard BBQ with a fleet mechanic that services a lot Ram HD gassers. He said change every 4-5k miles with any 0w-40 or 5w-40 full synthetic and there won't be any issues. They...
