    Repairing sanding belts

    I've got about 150, 1X42 belts I bought several years ago down in the non climate controlled shop. Yeah, they last about 30 seconds. Time for new belts.

    Leaf blower

    A mist blower---that's some ingenuity and thinking outside the box right there! I wasn't even sure what a mist blower was besides those fans you hook up to the water hose. Thinking back on it, as a kid, I remember the trucks coming through the neighborhood spraying for mosquitos with the big...

    techno geeks

    If I get a call from a number that's not in my contacts, I don't answer. If they really want to talk to me, they'll leave a message. If they do leave a message and it's some sort of scammer BS, I block the number.

    Broke throttle bar

    I've seen that before a few times. Every time it was caused by the operator having the friction set too high on the throttle. Not saying that's what caused it here---just what I've seen on the internet so it has to be true.

    GeoHorn's post was absolutely topnotch. Having spent over thirty years in the commercial nuclear power industry and adding Biobor JF to every single tanker truckload (as well as a doing a lot of diesel specific chemistry analysis) prior to them being offloaded into the Emergency Diesel Storage...

    Leaf blower

    Try blowing leaves on a couple acres with copious amounts of hardwood trees with that and let us know how well it does. (FWIW, I have both gas and battery operated handheld blowers. They're fine for blowing off the deck, patio, or the driveway, but they don't come close to cutting it on big jobs.)

    Ideas/Advice stray dogs

    I hate to shoot a dog, also, but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do. If you have any kind of county animal control, they should be able to provide you traps free of charge to at least try to catch the offenders.
