This week would be a good week to clean the shop (and house) and get some organizing done.

You may have seen me post a couple of video's about the sodium ion batteries that are on the rise. Do you have any comment about those? I think they're promising. According to what I've heard, they last longer, do better in cold weather and not apt to catch on fire like Lithium. The...

Her normal food arrived today. (Lucky her). So out of curiosity, I gave her 1/2 can of it, and she ate 99% of it. The best part of all this is she stopped "judging me." :rolleyes:

And it goes for anything and everything else they want to pay for. But that's kind of the point. States and the federal government tax everything under the sun. And now with solar panels connected to the grid, they're sort of taxing the sun too. None the less, they're taxing way too much for...

At the same time, oil/gas companies are getting government subsidies in the billions, every year. GM and others have gotten huge bailouts. This is why I support constitutional and fiscal conservatives (Chip Roy, Thomas Massie, etc etc) and not democrats or the RINO's. "Republicrats" give...

I finally gave in and went to the dollar store to get her a few cans of her normal stuff. And of course they don't have her normal food. So like an idiot, I got a few cans of of something made by the same company (Purina). That was a no go too. So, I'm thinking that she's not going to get...

They pretty much do, since electricity is taxed.

Not many could afford gas powered cars when they first came out. Heck, before that, a lot of folks couldn't afford horses. There's car companies who are trying to find ways of bringing the costs down. But with the way the economy is, and this enormous labor costs, it's going to be a while...

You did.

That's the thing though. EV's aren't really being forced on anyone. And for 99.9999% of the country, we weren't forced to take the Trump shot. Biden isn't at war with the oil companies. And now that inflation is coming down, the higher prices we're paying we're paying isn't all from inflation...

This weeks forecast. I'll take it.

You ain't kidding about the FedEx thing. I bought the cat a different type of can food (meow mix). It arrived a few days before the bad weather. After about 3 cans of it, I realized she simply wouldn't eat it. So I ordered her normal food. It went from Iowa to Waterloo MS, in one day. And...

Personally, I don't get all the objections to EV's. I like new technology. With new technology, comes new technology to make it great.

I look at it as just another way to collect revenue. They have been doing without that tax since Arkansas was established. They could do without it from now on.

Arkansas is about to implement some stupid tax (again) that's going to bump up the cost of EV charging.

Since I'm almost out of wood (saving some for a power outage), I found that the central heat doesn't warm up my bones like that fireplace does. I've got the thermostat on 71, and still walking around with chill bumps.

Yes, we got rain on the way, with low temps in the 40's. One day it's supposed reach 60. I might break out my shorts and stand in front of the sunny window. :D

I wonder if that Nissan has a battery warmer on it?

They should probably advertise more effectively. From what I'm hearing there's a big demand for good used EV batteries. If that's not the case, then maybe EV batteries aren't as bad as they make them out to be. Thomas Massie, a congressman from Kentucky, has been using the same Tesla battery...

Tesla's have a battery warmer built into the charging circuit. But you have to set the car to heat up the batteries. It's not automatic. The news broadcasts and social media post about all these "dead robots" are from people who never read their EV's manual.

I'm just shocked that there was that much electricity in the air. Walk under powerlines and you don't feel a thing.

Fences sucking power from under HV transmission lines

We got that 9 degree temp last night. 26 for the low tonight. And have a chance of some sleet in the morning. I'm down to my last 1/2 rick of wood. It's gone quick. Hoping we don't have any power outages this year.

Everything is thawing out here in Arkansas. My cold water line froze up a little this morning. And I burned through a ton of wood. But no power outages happened. So it's all good now. How did y'all come out?

There shouldn't be that many IRS agents. Much less new ones.

Lithium Ion batteries won't be around much longer. Within the next 5 years, Sodium Ion will take it's place. (So if you got some investing money. (when it goes public))

Are you working out of a shop? Or at your house?

They're using common core math.

Those SOBs. It took forever and thousands of $$$ to get them off my butt. Here's a suggestion: Do not escalate anything with the IRS.

"Shall not be infringed." I get a kick out of these hunting gear ads that pop up, using Trumps face and part of his speeches. I can't wait find one selling a bumpstock, praising Trump.

Minimum wage hikes are just a symptom of the real problem.

At the 5:15 mark, they start discussing Mazda's 2 stroke.

I'm fine with anyone cheating the government out of taxes. Even him. And will remain so until they stop funding so many things that I disagree with.

It's just my opinion, but I think you're way off on this. Reduces the government debt over time? In 2000, the national debt was only $5 trillion (I can't believe I just said "only $5 trillion). Now, in just 2 decades it's $34 trillion. And we've had a LOT of inflation since them. So when is...

Oh no. I think it's just going to need a new fuel filter, short piece of fuel line and the fuel solenoid wire. To make this one run right, I had to put another fuel filter between the carb and the fuel pump. To restrict the fuel flow. I'm guessing the fuel filter got a hole rubbed in it and...

As far as varnish goes, I'm wondering if an ultrasonic cleaner would work. I don't think submerging the whole injector would be a good idea. Maybe just shy of the electronic parts would couldn't hurt.

Improve safety? How about removing some of the retarded safety elements of a mower. Like not being able to mow in reverse. Engineers have a record of making things way more difficult than they need to be.

I hear ya. My JD caught on fire a couple of weeks ago. And been waiting for a day that's above 60 to address it. My knee hates cold weather, and takes it out on me.

When I first joined FB, I subscribed to everything. Including the political stuff. But now, I've deleted & unsubscribed to everything political or had a lot of hateful comments. I've reduced my friends list down to people I actually know. Now it's either animal rescue, jokes or small engine...

From the link: the Strategic Petroleum Reserve Annual Report for Calendar Year 2016.This report also includes details concerning the physical capacity, type, and quantity of petroleum in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in 2016, as well as plans for upgrades and major maintenance.

I don't believe much of what they say either, but It was reported back in 2016.

If the government was transparent on everything, there would be a rebellion.

The Strategic Petroleum Reserves are going through maintenance that was scheduled years ago. But because of the Russia/Saudi oil price war (making oil so cheap) they put off the maintenance. They can only refill about 3 million barrels per month because of the maintenance. Plus, there's no...

Here's a few things Trumps guilty of. Reauthorizing warrantless spying on Americans. (FISA 702) Assaulting our 2A (Banning bump stocks) Luckily a constitutional judge deemed it unconstitutional and reversed Trumps ban. He also stated he was in favor of "take the guns first. Do due process...

Every congressman and senator in my state are republicans. (RINO's). Our state legislature is about 70% Republican. And almost every one of them are Trump supporting RINO's as well. When I try to explain fiscal conservatism to them, I get called things like "liberal" or a Biden supporter. Or...

You're problem is the same as everyone's. But the solution is addressing the monetary policies and the USD value. "We the people" need to realize that no president can make the economy better. Nor can they reduce the price of gas. That is, unless we want to have a chancellor. People look...
