    Maggie’s Electric hot water heater

    Propane powered on demand Rinnai in my house. Cheap, and we don’t run out of hot water. Literature says it should last 15 years and we’ve had this one installed for 21. One of the best additions we have done for our house. Put in a gas stove/oven at the same time and electric bills went way down.

    Tankless water heater? Any experience?

    Got our Rinnai something like 15 years ago. Cheap, endless hot water. Had a propane tank installed when we upgraded to it and added a gas stove at the same time. Side benefit, our electric bill went down by at least fifty percent. Had a plumber check it several times since then and he just...

    Question for Dirtbike Riders

    All good advise. Lots of choices for smaller bikes, and some good, cheap ones are available as eventually everyone wants to move up. Spend money on a good quality (Snell approved ?) helmet, (if you’ve got a ten dollar head, get a ten dollar helmet. Don’t buy a ten dollar helmet….) Get a...

    Refrigerator recomendations.

    Have a Samsung we bought new about 12 years ago. It has had some issues, but is lasting so far. My son bought the same one - side by side, freezer on the bottom - and his crapped out after about 7 years. Have Samsung washer and dryer that are doing okay. The fridge we replaced was a Kitchen...

    Favorite Hot Sauce

    Jalapeños are the only thing we can always grow. Almost no effort and they produce fairly late into the fall, or at least to the first frost. My wife uses Franks and butter for hot wings. I make my own hot sauce with Jalapeños and It is my go to hot sauce for everything. Stupid easy and...

    Gravely vs. XMark

    I bought a Kubota during the Covid crap. Last mower of any type the dealer had. I needed a mower and after listening to my friends who all bought zero turns I figured I would pull the trigger. Nice mower, very stout but fairly simple. What I didn’t figure was how it would do on my hills… with...

    Vortex Razor HD 4000

    Forgot to mention that I got the Vortex 4000 from Midway with a $50 off promotion. It was the second time in about four months (first time was at Eurooptic) that I saw it reduced. One more reason why I bought it.

    Vortex Razor HD 4000

    I recently obtained a Vortex Razor 4000 and right now I'm still playing with it. Farthest I have ranged so far was a house at 2556 yards across water in very sunny conditions. Manual says that this situation is not ideal, but it still worked and repeatedly. Seems like everything else I ranged...

    Generators

    Isabel was in 2003, so I'm sure prices have gone up considerably. I will say that mine works as good today as the day I had the transfer switch installed, so while it is a bit more work to hook it up when I need it, I'll keep what I have for now. I suspect that the generator your electrician...

    Generators

    After Isabel I purchased a Generac 7500 with a 13500 surge capacity, and I think it cost me about $1400, delivered from an electrical supply place, but I forget which one. Found it on the internet. I guess this was before Generac started with the cheaper yellow version. I had a manual transfer...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Ruger LCP

    Don't post much but I lurk a lot. To quote someone much smarter than I am, "the pistol you have is better than the one you don't". I wouldn't consider the LCP much more than a get-off-me gun, and while it would not be my first choice for a gun fight, it is easy to carry even when wearing...
