Wow! A Harman P68 pellet stove sells for right at $5000 now.

I'm amazed to see the differences in pricing in residential bulk propane deliveries depending on where you live in this country. My hot water heater and cook stove are the only things that run on propane. Current bulk price is ~ $3.50 a gallon. I believe the CHEAPEST I've ever paid in the...

I went to a pellet stove in 2017, after a lifetime of burning wood. For only one reason - firewood was getting difficult to get here in northern Nevada. For 10 years I was buying my firewood in Burns, Oregon (nearest region with large forests), making a 480 mile round trip to get a load of...

I just went through the same procedure. There was a rock sticking up about 4" that I'd been mowing around for the past 20 years. Tried to move it with the bucket on my tractor but it wouldn't even quiver so I painted the rock a bright color so I wouldn't hit it with the mower if I was...

This is my almost normal experience with USPS shipping. Package was picked up by USPS in Kent, Washington a week ago. As of today there are no updates and no one knows where the package is:

Back in 1974 I bought many boxes of .38 Special military ball ammo from a guy I worked with. Still in the original boxes, and I still have a few of those boxes and every so often shoot out a box. Works just fine, no misfires. Ammo was probably old when I bought it in 1974.

I have I think about 13 of the BatteryMinder units - one on every piece of equipment that I don't use daily. They've pretty much doubled the life I get out of a battery, whether it is on my dirt bike or on my old John Deere.

^ My problem too. Guilt feelings if I'm not out getting something done, something accomplished, every single day!

Yup. Which is why in my post above I talk about swapping out the axles for something more durable. And why if you buy a new Wrangler today there is an option for a full-float rear axle.

Absolutely better off this year. Now if my doctor could just prescribe me some effective anti-aging pills things would be perfect!

If you are just looking for something classic and not to use for "Jeep" stuff off road, then go ahead and buy it. If you want something truly dependable and off-road worthy from the factory, then start with a Jeep TJ (years 1997 through 2006) or even newer. Been involved with Jeeps most of my...

One of the channels out of Reno plays constant old-time Westerns...lots of Randolph Scott, Audie Murphy, John Wayne and others on there, every day. But I refuse to watch because they turn a hour and a half movie into a three hour movie with all their stupid commercials. I no longer have the...

Those old Broncos were real rust buckets if not well cared for...I know, I owned one for several years. So its not inconceivable that the floor was so rusted he was able to bust through.

Please clarify. Are you talking engine oil or hydraulic oil?????

Exactly. I sold an F150 because my needs changed and I needed something that would spend all its time towing. A few years ago I bought a Toyota 4Runner that had just under 3000 miles on the odometer. It has been trouble free. Someone sold it because it wasn't what they expected so they...
