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...

What do they taste like?

Testing out your first ztr. Hilarious. https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=831494969075500

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. The lawnmower has a 5-foot-diameter plastic sphere in which the rider sits on an air-foam-cushioned seat. It has its own electric generating...

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...

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.

Do you have commercials on Philo?

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.

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...

Looks like Amazons Kuiper internet is in the process of bringing competition to Starlink.

I used to app to find the clear sky, and where the Dish network equipment is mounted, I got an excellent reading. If need be, I have these. lol

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...

Well......... I thought it was neat. Especially the way it seem to fix bad plugs.

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.

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.

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...

Pretty cook homemade device for testing and maybe even fixing fouled plugs.

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.

Last I heard, Ferris made a good product.

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...

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...

John Deere Laying Off Workers in Midwest US, Opening Plant in Mexico John Deere announced a wave of layoffs on Friday that will affect workers in Illinois and Iowa, while planning to open a facility in Mexico in 2026. In a press release, the company wrote: “We can confirm Deere leadership...

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.

On the other dodge FB page I asked if anyone had gotten one and were satisfied. Several said they did and were very pleased with them. It's a bit pricey though. But will be worth the money.

They don't have the lower dash cores.

At one time, anyone that sent me a friends request, I'd accept it. And never chat with them at all. Or very little. Even old classmates. it took a long time to unfriend or unfollow people, because you have to do them one at a time. After I got the list whittled down, I almost never accept a...

Dodge trucks? I'm thinking extremely seriously about the new 2nd gen dodge dash cores that are available now. And a new dash (from a different company). With a new A/C core and heater core. This was already going to be done. But since I shut down my business FB page, I haven't had enough...

It all depends on how you manage your page. I keep 95% of the politics off my page. 95% of mine is either animal stuff or funny stuff. And I've stopped following a BUNCH of things that used to trash up my page. And I think I'm down to about 20 people on my friends list. People I actually...

Bikers used to not be so soft. lol

That whole thing about bikers crying about grass in the road... LOL

Maybe replace it with something like this? With the set screw.

I just did an engine swap on my husq. It did have an electric PTO. But now it has no deck or any kind of PTO. It's simply for pulling the trailer. But when I press the clutch/brake too far, the belt comes off at the engine pully. That might be where yours is off also. And it would hard to...

My cat seems to be fine with the Bravecto. I've heard of such skin problems with some topicals. But most topicals are made differently, as well as cats. What doesn't work for 1 might work well with others. I wish they made a 3 month pill or shot. Or better yet, some sort of pet food that...

Me too. I can't wait to get back to wearing my house shoes. I was having to share them with way too many others. House shoes are kind of personal, ya know. Like underwear.

Update on the flea progress. The soapy water trap I made (with the light over it) was catching maybe 1 flea every two days. The exterminator came yesterday and sprayed the inside and outside. After he was done he asked "Why did you call me. This stuff I spray, usually has them jumping all...

Nevermind. I found it. Video at the bottom. Here's some snips of a conversation I'm having with another fella somewhere else on the internet, I can't figure out what kind of 2 stroke he's got. And how this is mixing the fuel. All i've ever heard off is mixing fuel and oil together, then...

M# LGT2654 Product # 960450047 S# 061815A031116 Briggs 407777 0274 G5 A couple of issues here. This engine has the smaller crank because it had the manual PTO. The rider it's on now, once had an electric PTO. Using the crank & deck pulley, the deck belt pulley rubs the drag links when I turn...

Your dad nailed it.....

I like Taryls video's. He's got a common sense approach to a lot of things. To most things, actually. In this game, it requires a lot of that.

I don't know of any small engine shop that would charge you $300 to make 2 cables for any mower. You got taken.

I'm wondering why they can't put flea and tick meds in pet food. I told the landlord about the flea's, hoping for some old age remedy she knew about. She's an 80yr old country girl, and has a remedy for everything. Her remedy. And exterminator. Which she called and set an appointment for...

I guess I've been lucky. I've been bit by thousands of ticks and never had any adverse affects. When I was a kid, I stomped around the woods barefooted and in shorts most of time. Mom would have to check me over every night after getting out of the tub. When I got older, I'd check my...
