Agreed. I meant they were futile if anywhere near GZ. Living next to an Air Force base, we were of course told that we were in a target zone.

When I was in elementary school, besides the usual fire drills we also had tornado drills (in the hall on your knees & elbows, hands over your head) and even nuke drills (duck and cover) as if they would do any good whatsoever. It wasn't considered insane at all at the time. Why is prepping...

I have to say that feral isn't really a good term for entitlement people either. DW uses the term in an endearing way when refering to certain students of hers: the ones that do random, humorous things that indicate a pure and unpolluted state, not yet feeling a confining and negative influence...

Back to your pine needle Q: I used to work in landscaping, and pine needles were the standard mulch. Not as good as other things, but a good compromise on price and quality. Most everything is mulched with pine straw around here, and people pay a bit over $3 / bale on average. Lucky for...

:rolleyes:

I would also try a new chain. While you're at it, take the bar off and lay it on its side on something you know is very flat. I lived in Springville for just over a year. It was one of those towns that if you weren't from there you never would be, if you know what I mean.

Oh, btw, I used to live in St Clair County. Pretty country.

I have an 025 now and have used the 029 in the past. My first thought, when you mentioned crooked cutting, was an improperly sharpened chain - sharper teeth in one direction than the other. But you said it was sharpened at the saw shop, sooooo maybe not that. I thought bent bar, but you say it...

Shoot. I forgot that I still need to buy a thermometer for it

Check it ouuut This little project has been on the back burner for months. Other than the aluminum flashing for the reflector and the liner box, it is all made of salvage materials. Well, okay, so the reflector and inner box are the majority of the materials, but the plywood, paint, glass...

People. This thread is getting out of hand. It appears that people are now reading a lot more into what others are writing than there is to it. Some kids came in my yard and broke some tree branches, and scattered them in the street. I was P'd about it, and vented. Now it is over. Done...

Yes, but only if you can get an 8-track player and a KC & the Sunshine Band tape for it Or is that only if you have a Duster?

Yep - definititely a project Tires and backseat look pretty good

Oh come on - it's less than 2300 lbs of water! Just lift with your legs.

Water for what purpose? Some people around here use these 275 gallon totes to store rainwater for gardening. Some get those that can hold potable water. I got two of them for free, currently being stored elsewhere. Google "275 gallon water tote" if you need examples

All I meant this for was a somewhat light rant - part of my own personal battle against suburbia as part of my ultimate journey towards my own dream of SS The simple fact was that somebody - very safe to assume it was kids - came into my yard at night and broke something of mine. There is...

There is a strip of land along the street that is labeled "right of way". I have to cut the grass and pay taxes on it like it is mine, yet I cannot plant anything there, let alone build a fence. Within that is a strip called "utility easement", which I can plant things on but cannot build a...

We thought about putting firing steps on the inside of the 6' privacy fence and taking turns posting with a rifle

An example of why I hate my neighborhood. Last night DD had an away game. I picked her up at the school a bit after midnight when they got back. (Football team unloading 2 buses, cheerleaders 1 bus, marching band 4 buses) When I left I noticed something laying in the road, and DD noticed it...
