    Yesterday I started thinking

    Just the opposite here. Lots of water running in the desert, causing problems not just at Burning Man.

    M7060 Windsheild Washer Reservoir

    Same thing happened to mine and I refuse to replace it due to the ridiculous price they are asking for this cheap piece of plastic. I wrapped mine in duct tape to keep the sun off it and keep it from disintegrating further.

    M4 PTO engagement

    If I just turn the PTO knob to "On" on my M7060 then yes, the engagement is harsh. I've learned to "feather" it by turning the PTO knob On and then Off immediately. That starts the PTO turning slowly. I do this once more, and the third time I leave the PTO knob On and its good to go. Each...

    Ford Bronco questions

    Yup. I had a '73. Found myself wishing many times that I'd never sold it. To the OP: Do some research on this forum: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/ I wanted a new Bronco until I started reading about all the problems. And watching Matt's Off-Road Recovery YouTube videos and seeing how...

    Canadian Wildfires

    Most of my family lives on the East Coast. For years I've been trying to tell them of the awful air quality in Nevada when the smoke from California wildfires drifts over Nevada. NOW they realize what its like!

    Best Towing Option

    Google "3 Point Hitch Trailer Mover". Lots of different options, stick your ball mount with the appropriate size ball in there and you're good to go.

    Hitchhikers?

    Sounds a lot like my story. Got my notice to report for my physical from the local draft board. I knew if I allowed myself to get drafted there was a 95% chance I would end up in the Army. But I figured if I were to go in the military I'd rather be in the Navy and see much more of the world...

    Non ethanol gas

    Only one station within 130 miles of me carries E-free gas. It is 88 octane - but costs nearly $1 a gallon more than the regular (87 octane with 10% ethanol). I use it in all my small engines; the owner's manual for my new lawn mower specifically warns against using gas with ethanol in it...

    Net Zero

    Yup. That would be a wake-up call to the idiots that "net zero" farming would starve urban areas...remind those in the cities who vote "blue" that everything essential to sustain life is produced in the areas that vote "red".

    Don't know where you live...but many places there ARE rules against burning firewood!

    Living in the past

    I think those figures are doctored by the government to make themselves look good. Just like those shills I see on the evening news telling me that our southern border is "secure" while thousands of people, unvetted, cross into this country every day. Why is it that inflation is "only"...

    Newer GM stuff is junk

    Funny, when I think back on the 50+ years I've been buying and driving vehicles I've had pretty good luck with all of them, all makes. Bought this 1976 GMC 4x4 van conversion new, drove it for 32+ years until the body started getting serious rust: Bought a 1988 Chevy S-10 Blazer with the 4.3...

    Hummers yet?

    Your hummers are a lot less territorial than mine. There's always a big fight going on around my feeders, with one of the hummers driving away all the others. I put up 3 different feeders and the hummers buzz from one feeder to the others, chasing each other.

    Post hole digger

    This was my solution also. My PHD is ancient - and very heavy. So I built a tall frame and the PHD hangs on two chains from that frame. The chains are attached to all-thread with cranks welded to them so I can adjust the 3 point hitch attachment points up and down; with the swing allowed by...

    No idea. I happened to be driving by at sunset when I saw the background and took the photo.

    Daily Chuckle

    Unfortunately not just Ford, other manufacturers also. Had to change all the lug nuts on my Chevy Blazer because most of those fake covers came off.

    Who are into JEEPS - Older TJ series?

    Been a Jeep owner for many years. My 1998 Sahara, with my partner riding shotgun: My 2006 Rubicon (last of the good I-6 engines) I'm in currently. It may be 17 years old but only 50,000 miles on the odometer.

    Robin's. Who's got them?

    No robins yet...but I heard a meadowlark singing for the first time this year so spring weather can't be far behind.
