    Tiny wire connectors.

    I'm having a lot of problems finding some tiny 90 degree wire connectors, in a hurry. No one in towns has these. So I'm gonna have to order them online. First off, I'm not sure how to measure them. I think they're .11" or 2.9mm Something like this would work great. It's going to be...

    My PC is only a couple of feet from the router. And it's wireless.

    Does anyone have Starlink?

    Well, everything is connected, updated and working. I'm a little curious as to the 40 to 45mbps i'm getting on my PC. But everything else is up around 100mbps.

    Brisket for burgers, instead of ground beef

    I went to Super 1 earlier today (they always have good sales).. I talked to the butcher and he said he's grind it all up for me, at no charge. Holy moly. When their briskets go on sale, I'm gonna stock up. They're $3.49lb right now.

    Brisket for burgers, instead of ground beef

    Brisket is cheaper than hamburger meat. Plus it's got it's own fat to mix with it. I bought a mixer than as a grinder attachment. As far as taste goes, some parts do taste different. I tried cooking a sirloin like a roast once, and tried a roast on a grill once. The steak didn't taste like...

    Brisket for burgers, instead of ground beef

    So I was at the store the other day. Me and this other guy got to chatting (waiting on the butcher). And told me that if you have a meat grinder, it's cheaper and better to ground brisket into hamburger meat, than to buy the hamburger meat already prepared. You know, like in those logs. I...

    They certainly knew how to cut the lawn in style in the 50s. Comfort Lawn Mowers. The “Power Mower of the Future” is shown demonstrated on Oct. 14, 1957.

    Does anyone have Starlink?

    I'm already excited. I just ordered this 2 days ago and figured it would take a couple of weeks to get here. So I sort of took my time ordering the pipe adapter mount from Amazon. From what I understand, the Starlink mounts aren't good at all. Anyhow, I got an email yesterday saying the dish...

    Does anyone have Starlink?

    If they'd have connected the fiber coming from town and the one from the other county (just down the road), I'd have stayed with them. When I first moved here, 2.5 years ago, they said they were bringing fiber down this road. They got a huge government grant to pay for it, and construction...

    Then why do you pay $28 for philo? From what I understand, you can watch almost anything that has commercials on a LOT of streaming platforms for free.

    If you don't mind me asking, how much was you paying for Dish? $28? That's higher than anything I'm paying for a premium channel. Maybe its worth it though, I'll check it out.

    A buddy of mine had HughesNet. He was always complaining about buffering & prices. I've heard that Dish or Direct were connected with HughesNet in some way.

    Does anyone have Starlink?

    People still on Dish or Direct TV are getting ripped off. I'm paying less for all the premium ROKU channels I have, than Dish's lowest subscription price. Which doesn't have any premium, commercial free channels. Their top 200 is over $100 per month now. Plus you have the equipment rental...

    So Starlink just called. The CS rep was very knowledgeable, nice and professional. He sold me. He said if I had any problems, I could just call that same number and id get support. But I didn't notice on their website that it's a monday through Friday type support. Also, they offer...

    That's amazing. What's your customer service attempts been like? With my phone company, I can call them with a problem and it's usually resolved that day or the next. Unless it's a weekend. Or if I'm complaining to them about paying for 15mbps and only getting 3.

    What happened to the used mower business?

    I hear ya. You wanna sell quality used equipment. I just wanted to make money. I'd test mow with them all. And let the customer do the same. I had 12 acres. They could mow til their hearts were content. But most only did a couple of swipes and loaded it up. Not one person ever got mad at...

    I'm about fed up with my ISP. Rate increases. Paying for 15mbps and rarely even get 10. I live 8 miles from town. About a year or so ago, they started laying fiber this way. They got about a mile out of town and just stopped. Coming from the other direction, they laid it all the way to...

    Oh brother 😳😳. You can't let yourself get that deep into one mower. That's a sure fire no win situation. And warranties, I only warrantied what I fixed on it. If it only needed a carb, then only the carb was warrantied. When I first started this small engine stuff, fixing and selling...

    $1865 to test spark plugs? Taryl's fixed 5 out of 5 of his old fouled out plugs. I'm not sure what compression has to do with the way the plug sparks.

    What happened to the used mower business?

    I get alerts on my facebook when a mower comes up for sale near me. And this year, they've been dirt cheap. A JD L110 just popped up for $200. The seller says it runs fine. And come with an extra set of blades and a spare tire. It looks fine. Also listed. and eXmark ztr. It looks in good...

    John Deere Laying Off Workers in Midwest US, Opening Plant in Mexico

    Mexico won't be affected by the tariffs, unless they change the rules of NAFTA again. Which is possible. But the lobbyist in DC would highly object. The lobbyist own DC.

    John Deere Laying Off Workers in Midwest US, Opening Plant in Mexico

    I like the looks of the new Stihl ZTR's. As far as JD goes, I don't really blame them. The #1 reason to go into business, or keep a business going, is profit. Down in Mexico, they can pay people $20 to $30 per day. And that's not a bad wage for them. Here, they're having to pay that much...

    Anyone tried this.... Poor mans power steering.

    I've never had a mower steering wheel that was that hard to turn, unless the gear or something was bad. IMO, this would be something I'd try only if I was having to make repairs on down there. Like replacing drag links. I bet any of us could come up with some sort rubber dust cover for this...

    Engine swap pulley problem

    This works pretty good. I do have a weird new noise coming from underneath. It sounds like someone is fumbling around in a plastic bucket. And the clutch/brake wiggles sometimes. But, the mower is faster and the belt stays on.

    Another example of Facebook idiocy
