    Battery powered lawn/garden tools

    I bought a cheap Lynx pole saw and chainsaw about 5 years ago. I use them when I'm on the tractor and need to trim a bit. Great for cutting 3" brush down at the base. Slide in on your backside and cut, slide, and cut some more. Way more useful than I thought and starts every time.

    Mortgage Rates Hit 6.92%, the Highest in 20 Years

    My parent bought this house in 1969 for about $25k. Modest sized house on a very busy road, interest rate was probably closer to 10%. Sold it in 1979 for $57k. The 10% rate in 69 on a 25k home didn't make home buying impossible but when the house costs over 80x more, the interest is going to...

    How much worse can it get?

    I just wish they made small 4wd trucks with a regular cab. Don't understand the whole 4 door truck with itty bitty box on the back.

    CA says no to charging electric cars

    I use a 12.5Kw 2 cylinder Lister diesel gen. at my place. 2020 and 2021 saw lots of pubic safety power shut offs so I had a new panel and transfer switch installed. Old school(60's era) but really good on fuel. Now that they are charging .48/KWH here, surprise, no power shut offs.

    "The Poor's" Welcome You.......

    Plenty of that here in CA. I think I can afford at least a small step up. Walls, running water and a real toilet(where I do my best thinking) are a priority.

    "The Poor's" Welcome You.......

    If you find a good spot to be poor, let me know. Retirement is looming and California is not lower middle class friendly.

    Gunsmithing CNC 1440 Turning Center

    Been running Fanuc controls for 40 years and ended up buying an oddball teach lathe with Fagor control. It can run G code or conversational and I have to admit it's not a bad control to learn. Taiwan is usually good to go, (better than American), Northern China is cheap but not nearly as good.
