Solar panels only are good for emergency power if they are independent of the grid power lines and have a sufficient battery storage and invertor. They are worthless is any areas of high winds. The best and least inexpensive emergency power is a natural or propane gas powered generator. The...

I wasn't aware that such was happening in other places. Usually we have some kind of trouble and sirens all night, but this 4th, just lots of booms from loud illegal fireworks, no fires, no sirens, no arrest, no property damage, and no problems reported. As far as parenting in America, I think...

@Bobby Cole All the videos I have seen of this mill, were used with short bars. I have a feeling a longer bar would have to much run out and more chatter. I like the simplicity of the setup, but I can see it would take more control and be slower. For doing a few small logs, it might be the...

I think I will combine the morning walk with my appointment for my cancer blood test. Nice and cool this morning and good day for 5 mile walk. My big 6 month evaluation is next week and the Oncologist needs a week so her staff can get all the results entered into a special program, she designed...

I always had 2 saws. The Husky 2100, a 10 hp, was for the mill. I used the Husky 266 for falling and bumping knots. I used chisel point chains on both, but 2100 was filed at a steeper angle and rakers were cut lower. I always touched up my chains every gas time. Also roller tip bars since high...

Have you ever been to the Estes Park Elk Festival? I think it is in early October.

About 1966, I got on Route 66 east of Tucumcari and stayed on till I skirted around Albuquerque. If you happened to see a bushy (sort of afro) dark haired girl, around 16, that you couldn't decided was hippie or cowgirl and she was driving a blue Ford pickup pulling a cattle trailer filled with...

Let’s talk about fiber! I should, but I shan't! :ROFLMAO:

Dumb-ass town, eh? 🫏 Sounds like Democrat :poop:'s trying to defy Trump by celebrating on the 5th. :ROFLMAO: I bet your mayor got a personal memo from AOC. It smacks of that kind of genius. :sneaky:

I was amazed with all the videos on You Tube about chainsaw mills. One thing I just remembered, watching some young guy pushing hard, was besides having the right chain and keeping it sharp, was getting the logs up higher on the starting end so it will feed itself. When I fell large trees...

Thanks John! It even shows who was online. So much for my thinking the past had been erased, so now back in witness protection for me. :ROFLMAO:

@Marie Mallory Duane, many thanks for the update and finally getting hospice involved and your mother in a good facility where she can get some rest and not be in agony. This is a very sad time for all us here, but a relief to me that she is in good care. Hugs to all! @Jake Smith Get some rest...

What is the Wayback site?

The fireworks started here last night. It finally got up near 90 here, so AC until I get up. Shut windows cut out the worst of the blast, but when the kids next to me set off their big illegal fireworks, at midnight, it woke me up and I had to pee. I crouched down while using the toilet in order...

Nothing to it as long as you have a straight rail for making the first slab cut. Then cut each side at a perfect 90 degrees from the top cut, then just cutting boards off the cant. A peevy will come in handy. Stack it with stickers and let it dry. You will be glad you did. It will finish up...

I had to review what places were National Parks. I didn't really know that so many I had visited in Utah were National parks. I thought Mt Rushmore was a National Park, but was wrong. I thought our Painted Rocks was a National Park, again wrong. Good thing this thread isn't Jeopardy or I would...

Good idea for a thread, Ken, a health roll call. :sneaky: Just to hit highlights: 6 month cancer progression check in a few days to evaluate if slow growing cancer is progressing any or enough more to warrant treatment. At this point they feel any treatment would be more harmful than...

Here they are A - Z. Arches thru Zion Arches - Utah Badlands - South Dakota Big Bend - Texas Black Canyon of the Gunnison - Colorado Bryce Canyon - Utah Canyonlands - Utah Capitol Reef - Utah Carlsbad Caverns - New Mexico Crater Lake - Oregon Death Valley - California Glacier - Montana...

I think it depends on the drugs they are taking. Some are known for causing hallucinations, others don't. Morphine can cause such, especially in folks with kidney impairment. Since hallucinations in older folks are usually a result of kidney impairment or failure and most times the kidney...

For Von or the one eyed raccoons? :ROFLMAO:
