    Crazy high speed crash

    Yep. Saw it on wfmz earlier this week as well. Not surprising with all of the idiots on the road here in the valley. It's become downright dangerous to drive around here.

    Expecting a problem next door....

    Yote - I think you're on the right track regarding the "sewage disposal". Regarding the dogs, if your username implies something different to what I would imagine, perhaps you could borrow one of (North Idaho Wolfman) NIW's "pets" to resolve the issue? ;)

    Another question about New BX23S .. Broken bolt on Backhoe

    I'd give candle wax (paraffin) a try. Heat the snot out of the area then set a candle (or bar of paraffin) on the pin. Let the wax melt and be drawn into the joint. Hope it works for you.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    welp, did my last job for the plumbing company today. The company was sold and my wife (GM) will not be working for the new owner...so neither will I. I had a good time doing the work, very enjoyable digging for me. So, I suppose I'll need to branch out more for the mini to earn its keep.

    Truck / trailer questions

    I've used the tekonsha before as well. But, I can tell you that the integrated controllers in newer trucks rock. Most have options for setting each trailer up with different braking gain levels. I'd much prefer the factory option as it usually comes with the towing package (HD brakes...

    Truck / trailer questions

    I think that just about all 1/2 ton pickups these days (can't speak for the foreign made variants) do a reasonable job in towing duties. They all have much more powerful engines, better transmissions and effective braking to manage trailers. Those that offer trailer tow/haul modes do a pretty...

    Restaurants/Retailers Accepting Cash/Not accepting Cash and Charging a fee for Using a Card/ Labor Fee

    I think you're right in your estimate of approx 3%. Strangely, I didn't think it was legal for merchants to charge additional $ for credit card transactions...yet, you see it all of the time?

    Truck / trailer questions

    I think the OP was referring to the GM 6.2L. Regarding the Ford variant, drove one (brand new 2021 F350 cab/chassis dump) with 4:30 rear trying to pull a 3.5 ton mini-ex. That thing couldn't get out of its own way. Owner traded the truck with 200 miles on it (he wanted to drive it off a cliff...

    Truck / trailer questions

    I think your friend ought to have his head examined. A 33' travel trailer is way to large for a 1/2 ton whatever. That's a huge sail for a light weight pickup...in my opinion.
