Cool.
Stewie, I was cutting a new trail through the woods and found a huge colony in a hollow tree. I guess they weren't Africanized since I didn't get lit up as I motored by throwing up dust and debris.
How might one go about utilizing those bees for honey?

Texas Sheriff's Exam...
A young Texan grew up wanting to be a lawman.
He grew up big, 6' 2", strong as a longhorn, and fast as a mustang. He could shoot a bottle cap tossed in the air at 40 paces.
When he finally came of age, he applied to where he had only dreamed of working: the West Texas Sheriff's Department.
After a series of tests and interviews, the Chief Deputy finally called him into his office for the young man's last interview.
The Chief Deputy said, "You're a big strong kid and you can really shoot. So far your qualifications all look good, but we have, what you might call, an "Attitude Suitability Test", that you must take before you can be accepted. We just don't let anyone carry our badge, son."
Then, sliding a service pistol and a box of ammo across the desk, the Chief said, "Take this pistol and go out and shoot:
six illegal aliens,
six ambulance-chasing lawyers,
six meth dealers,
six Muslim extremists,
six Democrats,
and a rabbit."
"Why the rabbit?" queried the applicant.
"You pass," said the Chief Deputy. "When can you start?"
I LOVE TEXAS!

so why are you getting rid of the 5th wheel? and are you getting rid of the dually as well?
Nate, not using the trailer much now that we have our weekend place. Banks will only finance until they are 5 years old so I want to get rid of it now before it gets any older. I'm paying $150 a month to store it in a covered location. I doubt I'll get rid of the dually. Love my dually. Unless I sell both trucks and by a F450 Platinum.....rofl. I think I'd get more family time with a pontoon boat so I may go that route. Eventually we'll get another RV but probably a smaller bumper pull that I can keep at the weekend place. When the kids are gone, we hope to have a small diesel pusher for retirement and spend summers up north.
i had heard something about the CVT. What problems are people having? I'm looking at the kawasaki too.
Polaris ranger crew. Room for the whole family and plenty of room and power for working. Rides like a Cadillac. Dad has a 2014 crew 800. We've had it loaded down with 4 folks, a golden retriever, tools and more tools, 800 pounds of deer corn, all while pulling a small utility trailer loaded with 30 60# sacks of quickrete. Never missed a beat and did not struggle at all making driving through the lease out around garner state park.
I know some folks have a sour taste in their mouth about the belt drive, but if you follow owners manual recommendations and use low range when towing or in heavy load situations you will have zero issues.
I'm currently considering purchasing the Polaris general myself just because it is a tad more sporty than the ranger, but not as sport/play oriented as the rzr. Not quite as much payload capacity as the ranger but you have to give a little to get a little I suppose.

So, I'm about to put the fifth wheel up for sale and I'm contemplating what to do next.
I'm liking the idea of a UTV for some adventure riding with the family. But realized I don't know much about the crowded space of UTVs.
Don maybe a dedicated UTV forum?
So I'm looking for advice on new vs used and which ones would fit my criteria.
Not looking for a racer. I'm looking for utility. 4 seater with a bed that can be used around the range and hunting and adventure trail riding.
Reliability and ease of maintenance and parts is important too.
What say ye?

I think it's more you get enough stamina your legs support the weight better / longer versus letting it be carried on that seat post.
& I personally feel the padded diaper shorts are gay so I bypass them. Bought a good dg seat & called it a day.
On road bikes, that is not the case. The clipped pedal allows for rotational force to be applied on both the upstroke and downstroke utilizing more of the leg muscle in the process. I have the gay shorts and lots of them. The pad being in your shorts allows for less friction than if you have padding on the seat. Don't ask about butt butter...... The only time you come up off the seat is attacking a hill using your full body weight to power up hill. They have a name for guys like my who go 200+ on a road bike. They call us Clydesdales.

Eph 1:3-7
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before *Him. In love 5 He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. 7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace

Well, went to move the truck so my wife could take the van to clean the rv. batteries failed in the dually. $325 and 1 1/2 hours later I have 2 new AGM batteries.
Then mixed some thin set and laid some slate in the spots I had prepped. Got almost all of it laid and then it started to set up so I had to dump that batch and I'm about to head to the store to get more.
We tend to think of praising the Lord when big things happen, but He's in charge of all things and I'm grateful the batteries died in the dirveway on a weekend.

finally landed back in Houston today. Been in a regional business planning session for the last 3 days. Crystal ball, magic 8 ball, Ouija board and other stupid processes led to a final 2018 business plan.
Back home after a very hard landing in 25 mph winds and I swear Don was the pilot. He came out and did the preflight chat with the flight attendant and basically said, this is a short flight, you know the process, dont ask the flight attendants whats on the drink menu, use the card in the seat back pocket. We have 140 people to serve and 4 people to do it. Get your act together.

So a guy at work complimented a tie I was wearing one day. So I took it off and gave it to him thinking nothing of it. He wrote me a nice note and left a bag on my desk that had two of these beers in it. He is a beer aficionado and these are his favorite beers. Now me, I'm just a redneck from texas who drinks Budweiser not bud light. So I was prepared to be unimpressed by the somewhat Euro trash look. I have to say a very rich creamy caramel flavor. And to boot it has 11.3% ABV. It's a Belgium quad and has a thick creamy pour. Worth a try if you can locate one.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I received this in the email box today from my serving company. Anyone heard of this or doubt it?
Regarding Air Conditioning systems that currently operate with R22 refrigerant:
It is important for you to be aware that R22 refrigerant is being rationed to ALL air conditioning contractors across the country, the current limit is two 30 pound cylinders per purchase per company. By 2020, R22 refrigerant will not be manufactured or imported.
How does this impact you, as a consumer?
If your system is not cooling and is low on refrigerant, R22 refrigerant may not be available to recharge to get you cool again. A system holds about 10-12 pounds depending on size and line sets. The cost of refrigerant (if it is available) this summer is going to be expensive, upwards of $100 per pound and rising.
Just a reminder, air conditioning systems are closed, they are not supposed to lose refrigerant. If an older R22 system is low, chances are there is a leak. Refilling an older system with R22 will not stop the leak, nor will it stop the loss of the expensive refrigerant you just paid for.
What exactly is the refrigerant phase out?
All the way back in 1993, there were rumblings in the HVAC industry that there was going to be a phase out of HCFCs (hydrochlorofluorocarbons), which are ozone-depleting substances (ODS). The EPA established a phase-out frame work and schedule: R-22 refrigerant (Freon) was among those on the list. They began by phasing out the worst of the HCFCs and by 2010, it was R22’s turn to start getting phased out.
January 1, 2010 marked the date that manufacturers could no longer make condensers that used the old R22 refrigerant. By January 1, 2020, there will be no more R22 refrigerant. January 1, 2020 marks the date that R22 will no longer be manufactured or imported. Since we are already experiencing a rationing of the refrigerant right now in 2017, we do not expect there to be any R22 available anywhere by the 2020 cut off.
We feel it is important to make sure our customers with R22 systems, have this information.
Our intention is to give you the advantage of being able to budget and plan ahead, so that you do not suffer in our Hot Humid Houston climate this summer. With this information ahead of time, you have the advantage of weighing out what system best suits your needs and budget. Thereby avoiding the panic that may push you to rush into a decision because your system is out and there is no refrigerant left to get you up and running.
If you are interested in putting together a plan with budget numbers you can reach out to us at:

My wife has had some struggles with depression and anxiety in the past. The first time was about 7 or 8 years ago. With the help of some counseling she was able to get over it for the most part. Then about 3 years ago the anxiety came back. At the time I was having some fairly major health issues which resulted in a few weeks in the hospital and a couple months of recovery time. It was just all to much for her. Again she was able to talk to somebody and had been doing really well for the last couple of years.
Recently she has been having a lot of anxiety again. I don't think it is truly post-partum depression but it is focused around some of the struggles with caring for out little girl. She has sought out some counseling again but she doesn't feel that the person she is talking to is the right person though so she is trying to find somebody else. She is putting herself through a lot between the anxiety she feels when my daughter is being difficult to the extreme guilt she feels afterwards. On days where she is feeling overly stressed/ anxious she will send me a note asking for me to pray for her that day. If you all might join in it would be appreciated.
Psa 94:19 When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul. Phil 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Anxiety is a lack of faith and or a doubt of certainty in one's position with the Lord and is a sin. A sin which we all commit at some time or another. A demon spirit cannot possess a child of God. Lead your family through strength and through the authority given you in the word. Prayers sent.

I'm looking into mills and found some U built it kits with HD looking stuff and 30 inch throat. Not cheap but really heavy stuff. I am keenly interested in:
Accuracy of the adjustments for board thickness
Engine power to production speed value
lubrication and tensioning of the blade.
General durability

Heat kills transmission. You are on the right track with an external cooler. I'd service the trans and add a cooler and a real trans temp gauge. I don't know your line routing or set up but it shouldn't be hard. Get on big enough to keep it no higher than about 220. Run synthetic if you can and a thermostatically controlled unit would be preferable if you see any weather below freezing very often. Take some pics and let's see what you are working with.
