FYI, a thin slice of lemon (and probably lime), on top of an ant bed, will get rid of them. They may simply move. But they won't move anywhere close to that mound.

Nor do I want to go to jail for arson. My landlord would definitely prosecute. There's all kinds of pests in jails (I hear)

I knew there was something about the way I spelled that, that didn't look right. Lime? Lyme.

You gotta be careful of those things. I hear they can give you lime disease. A couple of things I've learned about fleas. 1. They don't start laying eggs until they get their first bite of blood. 2. When they do start laying, they can lay 50 eggs per day. 3. Those eggs can hatch within a...

I was just thinking about how much over thought they put into a push mower back them. Todays plain-jane models vs this model.

So I got the robot vac and it scared the cat off for a couple of days. She she came back, she brought fleas in with her. So I get her a prescription of Bravecto and put it on her neck. That stuff seems to work real well. The only fleas I see on her now are dead ones that have fell off when...

Goodness. Apparently he knew they were NLA. (for that price)

Here's another instance of parts being unavailable. The vehicle is only about 6 years old.

I'm interested in seeing how good the new Stihl ZTR's are. If the quality in them are anything like their saws, it should be a good product. I know they have a lot of bells and whistles.

Why not just the fan cover?

One product that always stands out as long lasting, is Stihl. They've always made a great saw and trimmer. When you consider how much it costs to keep replacing those throw aways, one need only buy one Stihl and take care of it.

I think it was more the Russian/Saudi oil price war that was going on. Spot on with the presidential thing. No president tells the oil companies when to go into a boom or bust cycle.

I wonder if you can get a tan in the A/C?

50 years old? Good god man, what are they made of? The skin of Zeus?

Not really. The only thing that really affects the economy is the value of the currency. When they add trillions in new money, it devalues the existing currency. Then it costs more to buy everything. Then people slow down their buying. This affects growers and manufacturers, they have to cut...

It's just an eastern milk snake. Not harmful. But still would be enough to scare the daylights out of some.

Cars are definitely becoming like the mower industry. Not so cheap throw-aways.

I get a kick out of people comparing the economy and oil production during different presidential terms. As if any president has any say over the stock market, 95% of the economy or how much or how little oil is produced during their term. As far as your boots go, maybe there's a better...

We always hear about things like this. And speak about it. How they deliberately make cheap stuff, just to sell more. But this guy really puts things into perspective. If someone made a zrt that didn't start breaking down for 10 years, and the replacement parts would last 10 years, they'd...

LoL.. I ordered something from Walmart+ last week, that's coming from JAMAICA, NY. I've had things from Amazon, Ebay and others that originated from there. And rarely have they ever been on time. Anything from that place is always late. WM has a very strict policy on their sellers, so I'm...

This explains a lot of the business models for todays products. Things we were bringing up in the Taryls shop closing thread. It starts out about light bulbs, but it goes into other products. One thing particularly that really caught my attention, was the companies allowing the government to...

If they brought this idea back, I betcha it would be a good selling product. Air conditioned lawnmower, 1957. _ In October 1957, ads went out that demonstrated the “Power Mower of the Future” – the future of lawn mowing equipment. They built this machine with a bubbled model that sported its...

Where I live, I like FedEx much better. Because with UPS, everything gets shipped to Little Rock. Then the next day, it goes to Pine Bluff, to another warehouse (only about 30 to 40 miles south of Little Rock) Then it's loaded and shipped out for delivery. So that one jog, from LR to PB...

That's pretty cool.

I've been waiting over a couple of months now just for some Stens brand bar & chain oil. The fuel lines I ordered took a month. I think what's happening is that the quality of the products are getting worse, so they're having to build so many parts that the manufacturer just can't keep up...

What a shocker. He just added on a huge addition to his shop. Now he's closing it? Here he explains why.

I would've put in a penny and said "That's what you get when you ask for a tip, working at a job that pays way more than tip earners wages.

What a headache this has turned into. I decided to lengthen the tail pipes so they'd reach at least 1/2 in into the muffler that fit. I finally got that done, but now something else is off. I just has to walk away from it for a day or two.

My blessings ran out when I got to the muffler.

What's the free shipping limit now. It was $150. Has it gone up?

Depending on your area, opening a storefront requires a huge amount of extra work, time and all sorts of extra's. I tried the storefront thing, but I got so bogged down that it was unreal. Not being able find any reliable help was the worst part. Which meant I was constantly backed up. Some...

I've gotten quite a few from Stens. I probably spent too much. But when you need to reach that free shipping limits, plugs are a pretty good way to get to the limit. It's almost like getting the plugs for free.

I guess once you start using one brand of anything, the numbers and what they fit, are a lot easier to recognize. I think at one time, I was going to switch to only NGK, but for some reason, probably a sale or something, I ended up with a bunch of autolite and stens plugs. I don't even...

It looks like I'm going to have to weld extensions onto the Briggs tail pipes and go with the muffler that came with the Kohler. That's the only way to get the muffler mounting plate bolted in the right direction, and the hood mounting rod back in and the pipes deep enough to go into the...

I have a lot of those plugs.

Ok, good. Trying to find a cross reference to this, was insane for some reason. I'm thinking they need to narrow the amount of plugs down to something reasonable. I bet NGK, has a 1000 different ones. Same as the other brands.

Will the BKR5ES work?

Not a thing. I was grinning from ear to ear when I seen it. :D:D:D

How are the plugs holding up? I'm out of the RC12YC's, but have some of these BKR5ES's. Also, what's the gap for the BKR's? .30?

I was looking for a match to the RC12YC on Stens, it said something about how it's been changed to some other number. "RC12YC is no longer available and has been superseded to 130526"

After buttoning up a few things, It fired up and ran smooth as a kitten. I couldn't test drive it because the seat safety switch needs to be done away with. All of them, in fact. And I'm going to have to find a different size drive belt. But the alternator, at high idle was charging the...

The older we get, seems the harder it is to lose a friend. I lost two good friends last year. People that you'd actually call a friend. In my time, I've only had 4 actual friends. They leave a void in your life when they pass. We find ourselves having to think about what they would do in...

Imagine, someone pawned this over a spark plug. Good find.

I like the almost automatic chain tensioner on this.
