    Only until herd immunity is achieved. So basically we will continue to be asked to wear masks until everyone has the required number of shots and the proper time period for our immune systems to grow the antibodies (which is about 3 weeks after the second shot or something like that). I've heard...

    The one from Pfizer is from Germany, the one from Moderna is from Massachusetts, and the AstraZenaca is from the UK. They are private companies competing for their product to be the one purchased by the rest of the world. One will work better than the rest, however, there are other things to...

    Quick Dumb Car Question

    I did a search for an hour or so yesterday across forums and stuff but they all said to actuate the door latch from inside the door panel without giving a direction. Which led to me thinking I was being dumb and there was a generic direction they operated. Which then led to this post here...

    I might need to do that. Was just hoping someone may have had experience with it before. Thanks for the idea though!

    The numbers today are 17 million for Covid 19. The numbers from 2009 were 60 million for H1N1. 60 million is much greater than 17 million. So I don't know what you mean when you are saying that the numbers reported about Covid are inflated to make it scarrier than H1N1. Unless you are...

    according to the CDC the H1N1 had 60 million cases with 274,500 hospitalizations and 12,500 deaths. Source: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/2009-h1n1-pandemic.html Also according to the CDC Covid 19 has had 17.8 million cases with 320,000 deaths. Even if they are over reporting like...

    Quick Dumb Car Question

    The internals do not move so I cannot confirm direction. The external door handles are both broken off and the internal handles will move the horizontal bar but no movement from any vertical bars. The doors are unlocked as well. Hoping someone on here has worked on a GM from that year range and...

    Hydraulic components

    Metkoff sounds familiar but I can't put my finger on why. Where I've worked in the past they used Sun Hydraulics. Parker makes good stuff but might be expensive, other than that your best bet might be Grainger, McMaster-Carr, or Motion Industries.

    Quick Dumb Car Question

    Recently started working on restoring a 1979 Trans Am, however, the car is in fairly rough shape and neither door will open and the locks will not rotate. I was able to get into the car by using a hanger to open the Passenger Side T-Top and then climb in through the roof. I have the interior...

    Rain Water Collection ?

    Keep in mind most of those regulations are just building permits no restriction on the capacity captured or stored, and in a lot of them it is encouraged that you capture rainwater too. It eases the infrastructure load without tapping into aquafers that farmers use for irrigation during dry...

    Rain Water Collection ?

    It is only illegal to harvest rainwater in Colorado and it is from a law that's from the late 1800s or early 1900s. There is a limitation in Utah of 2500 gallons of rainwater storage per household but other than that most regulations are just permit related to make sure that your neighbor down...

    First electric tractor 30-70 hp

    I said your farm not your 50 hp tractor. I was trying to outline a savings of 10% is a big deal. Also you may not pay farm hands 30 bucks an hour on their paycheck, but you do have to pay additional costs outside of the 10 dollars an hour you pay them on top of that. Taxes, insurance, benefits...

    First electric tractor 30-70 hp

    It's not about being a tree hugger or going green. It is about cost efficiencies. Let's say that your farm costs you 100 grand a year in fuel to run and you cut that by 10% then you get a 10k swell to your profit margin. So lets do a little math as an example. The charge time calculated on...

    First electric tractor 30-70 hp

    However, in those instances (even coal) the efficiency of that power generation is greater than the efficiency of the power created by the diesel engine. In the engine the heat generated is just energy loss but in the instance of power plants it uses heat to create steam and the steam to rotate...

    First electric tractor 30-70 hp

    That's pretty cool. Reading the article I thought to myself it needs at least 8 hrs of work per charge for it to even be a consideration but from the website it can be 10 and I was pleasantly surprised. The 50k price tag puts it out of my range though.

    Smokers! (Of the cooking variety)

    Haven't used walnut yet. I have a 1/3 cord of hickory to go through before I can justify buying more wood for the smoker. If it is one of these then maybe have the gift being installing a firebox on the side, adding grilling grates, adding a lip seal (its a felt like material and is like 30...

    Smokers! (Of the cooking variety)

    It sounds like he already made an offset smoker out of that 55 gallon drum as those are the most common style with the barrel. If it were me I wouldn't replace that especially since he took the time to make that one he is probably pretty attached to it. I would suggest getting him a quarter...
