    Maggie’s Pikes Peak- the insane hill climb in Colorado

    You're making the assumption that Tesla can actually deliver. Their track record is not good. Also, is the cost per mile over the life of the vehicle going to be any less? It'll be interesting to see. As for the sustainability bullshit, again, they still run on coal.

    Maggie’s Pikes Peak- the insane hill climb in Colorado

    I don't disagree on the hybrid diesel-electric efficiency in locomotives and haul trucks. Straight electric power is a long way off for big trucks - the storage technology is too heavy, the charge time too long and the range too limited right now. It's nothing but coal power, anyway. BTW, I...

    WTF has happened to Pikes Peak? This is driving - when it was a real road:

    Maggie’s The Woodchuck and Firewood Hoarders Thread

    My Husky has never seen anything but 100LL and Husqvarna 2 stroke oil. It still makes power like new after 18 years. We put up 4-5 cords mixed oak and hickory annually, plus whatever else needs done on 23 acres of woods, and helping the in-laws on the farm.

    Maggie’s The Woodchuck and Firewood Hoarders Thread

    I used Husqvarna 50's about 30 odd years ago. They were good saws. We were contract thinning pines in commercial pine forests in NZ, and ran them with either a 13" or 15" bar. Tree diameter usually less than 10". Was good money back then for a kid not long out of school - I could make $18/hour...

    Maggie’s The Woodchuck and Firewood Hoarders Thread

    I've used Stihls, Dolmars, Jonsereds and Huskies. They're all good saws. If you get the forestry grade ones - it really is worth the extra money. Now I'm old and fat (I carried a doe a mile last month, and had to stop for four rest breaks. I could do it in one hit, once...), I use a Husky. The...

    Maggie’s Renting/Buying Semi Trailer

    I helped a buddy load a pair of trailers a while back to move his house and shop 1000 miles. He got one of the LTL companies (ABF or someone like that, don't remember). They brought 'em out we loaded, they dragged 'em to the new place and parked them there to be unloaded. They will hold them at...

    Photos weld bend test i just did

    You're going well. Welding is the only thing I ever went to school for - after high school. Probably the most useful thing I've ever learnt. Was taught by a little Indian guy who could hardly speak English - but he was fluent in cuss words. Got certified in oxy/acetylene small bore all position...

    Shit. This is just another bunch of bullshit brought about by lack of proper procedure, no common sense or plain unadulterated dumbassery. Lock rim wheels are quite safe when disassembled and assembled correctly. Problems arise when the airgun monkeys beat the hell out of them with...

    Gunsmithing Chamber flush system questions

    I've got a 302 Ford pump on mine, and it provides way more oil than needed. Most gets bled back into the reservoir.

    I used to cut regular, too. There are a lot of things you have absolutely no control over when felling a tree. That guy is very good, but he had good luck that day as well.

    There was a lot of luck there, but also a lot of skill.

    Haley's plagiarism makes anything he wrote of dubious value.

    Gunsmithing DRO suggestions

    A friend of mine came over a while back to have me put two sights in a slide. He is setting up his own Bridgeport, and is on a tight budget as well. I showed him how to do it with dials as I always seem to have something else to get for the shop other than a DRO, and I'm kinda old school anyway...

    Mikhail Kalashnikov passed away

    Like all good designers, Kalashnikov used features in his designs that worked for others. The safety lever is a good example, ever looked at a Remington Model 8/FN 1900? A John Browning design that came out over 40 years prior. Having said that, he was no safer from Stalin's goons than anyone else.
