Before we start, this will not be a doctoral thesis on calculating MPG with a modern internal combustion engine…….Just a bunch of simple observations. So before you Rocket Scientists, Geeks and Forum Experts start taking me to task for this not being “scientific”……You can stop reading here…..move along….nothing to see here… 🙂 Now, for the
After 12 years and 200,000 miles, it was time for a new truck. The 2006 Dodge Ram 5.9L diesel was running great. Can’t kill that engine, but everything else around it was a ticking time bomb. Alternator, AC compressor, rear end, waterpump….all started to act up at once. With a number of very long, cross
Now that my trailer has a large capacity solar sysyem, the only time I use my Honda 2000i generator is for AirConditioning and my wifes hair dryer. I usually haul a pair of Honda 2000i generators in the bed of the truck. Even though the truck has a cap, the dust still gets into everything
I simply can’t stop loving me some old rifles! I always wanted a Civil War era Sharps Carbine in 50-70. But the price for a good example was always out of reach. A few weeks ago a fellow on one of the forums I frequent was looking to sell a 1859 Sharps Carbine and was
I’m on a winter cross country trip. Traveling from Massachusetts to Arizona in February. When I left MA the Forest River 19RR Toy Hauler was winterized. I needed to get south, to warmer climate before I could De-Winterize. First night was in the 20s while I stopped at a Pilot/Flying J for the night. I
Many times I see dozens of campers running two Honda EU2000i generators to power their AC units. Or they were running a huge frame type generator that was making a racket from hell just to keep cool. There had to be a better way! I have a Forest River 19RR with a 13.5 AC
Well. I went and did it again….Bought another boat. I gotta be crazy! (It’s kinda like an RV…It is a vehicle and it is recreational) I’ve usually owned a boat or had access to a boat throughout my life. When I was 12 years old my father and I built a 8′ sailing pram to
The SKB 100 and 200 double barrel shotguns are the favorite of the Single Action Shooting Society or Cowboy Action Shooting crowd. But they have one relatively large issue. The forend tends to creep forward under recoil and in some cases may split the forend wood. I decided to try and bed the forend on
A few months back I wandered into the local Cabelas and in the “Gun Library” was a very nice looking Marlin Model 92 lever action rifle at a very agreeable price. It had been refinished which in the hobby of collectable firearms is a No-No. Strange, a reconditioned automobile will increase its value, but refinish
No, NOT that Hepburn… I’ll leave that up to Humphrey Bogart… I’m talking about THIS Remington Hepburn.. I’ve always had a lust for a Remington Hepburn ever since I attended my first Schutzen match a number of years ago. I saw a couple fellows shooting them and I just thought the whole side lever thing was
