    You really should make at least a minimal effort to get the facts before you decide you disagree with other people who HAVE gotten the facts. He was bothering the animal. He was NOT 100 yards away. He was right up on it. And he had his grandson with him, so he was combining setting a bad...

    First of all, the bison was not taking pictures. Commas lives matter. Secondly, it's pretty hard to get tossed by a bison from 100 yards away. No, the entitled idiot was up close and personal, where he had no business being.

    If it were up to me, there would be a sudden flurry of prosecutions for this kind of behavior, and it would be well-publicized. And I mean some jail time, not just some wimpy slap on the wrist. Okay, back to your regularly scheduled chuckle-fest. :D

    WiFi signal booster ?

    There was a time when work had me moving a lot. I got tired of changing email addresses, so I registered my own domain and pay for a cheap web hosting service. Some day I might even put up a website, maybe for a family photo album. Meanwhile, my wife and I have not needed to change email...

    I read the story on this, and for some reason, my sympathy meter has remained pegged at ZERO. Never even flickered once. Obviously, it needs maintenance.

    BX25D Seat Replacement - Seat Switches

    I asked the same question earlier this year. Take a look at my thread on the topic. There's good info there for you. Here's one on cleaning out the tank, too, just for fun.

    WiFi signal booster ?

    That's what VPNs are for.

    WiFi signal booster ?

    That's boosting their signal. A directional antenna may be enough. If not, then a repeater. But Starlink with the roaming plan is probably going to be a lot simpler and more effective, plus offers benefits in other places.

    Bill does not live with Hillary. Why do they remain legally married? Look up "spousal privilege" and give it some thought.

    WiFi signal booster ?

    You may need a booster with a directional antenna. Or any directional antenna (such as a Yagi) with a WiFi card and the appropriate connector. A lot depends on how technical you are. With either solution, you'll need to be able to sweep the antenna while watching signal strength, so you...

    New fuel filter location on BX2230

    Looks good! I'm still young enough to climb under (just turned 70, so still a kid), but I really like the idea of being able to see that filter at a glance.

    BroTec quote

    That's certainly their right, but the proper way to handle that is to put a plain statement on their website so people aren't left guessing. A recording on an answering machine isn't good enough, and just ignoring emails is just plain rude. Bush league.

    Steering on a BX 2360

    You almost got it right. It's, " beau coup". No "e" on the end. That said, I'd be looking for the easy stuff first, like the tie rod ends. If it's not there, something hydraulic is not happy with life. Could be the steering pump, but it could be on the cylinder end, too. You need to get a...

    Video of my tractor-mounted weed whacker

    Nice! (y)(y) Next version: Pivoting arms held in place by springs so you don't bend anything if you hit an immovable object.

    Buy a chipper or a gallon of diesel and a mat5ch

    Yep. And it's really nice to be able to chip on your schedule and energy level and not feel like you have to push hard through the weekend to get the whole thing done before you have to return your rented chipper Monday morning. But again, only if it's an ongoing need. If it's a one-off...
