    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...

    Hunting & Fishing HEP! Yamaha 90 fuel problems? PROBLEM SOLVED!

    Re: HEP! Yamaha 90 fuel problems? I believe it is the "vapor separation tank", and here are a few links that might help you out. I think the one is for a larger motor, so not sure it is exact. If I remember correctly the pumps are in the same area as this filter...

    Hunting & Fishing HEP! Yamaha 90 fuel problems? PROBLEM SOLVED!

    Re: HEP! Yamaha 90 fuel problems? Not sure about your particular engine, but I know of other Yamaha 2 strokes with those issues (specifically loss of power at high rpms) being rectified by replacing either or both, the VST filter or low pressure fuel pump(s). As I am not familiar with your...

    Rifle Scopes Millett TRS1 The test Concludes

    Re: Millett TRS1 The test Concludes No sweat and thanks for the post. I'm glad the scope is working for you and I hope it continues to do so for as long as you need it to. If I can, I would ask you not to resign yourself to purchasing all your own equipment. If it ultimately comes down to...
