Put an offer down on a piece of property in Troy, MT this morning. Wife accepted a job in Libby, MT last evening. Been moving personal stuff to storage all day. Tomorrow is last day to move a few things then clean the house. We close on sale of home Monday. Fifth wheel living for us for at least a couple weeks.
We’ve prayed profusely over this whole deal. We’ve left it in Gods hands to open doors and although it has been stressful at times he’s in control and everything is lining up.

^^^ good point .
Edit: to expand on that, I, like all of us here, appreciates well made items. Whether it's a tool, a piece of furniture, or a perfectly straight brick wall.
When I received the Starlink system the first thing I noticed was the physical quality. The heft of the routers, and the quality of the power/data weather resistant cords. I should've taken pics.

We came over via Bonners Ferry, it’s the kootenai River near Troy, MT (yes flows thru Libby too). Property we’re looking at is ten minutes from Troy and these falls.

That auto pilot is pretty cool. I really like the way the display shows you the vehicles 360 degrees around you.
Tesla makes a perfect 2nd or third vehicle. It’s like having a 1911 to go a long with your glock, AR and 870. Won’t stake your life on it but its a great addition to the stable…

Nate while I agree with the sentiment I think the percentage of
Good to bad it different. There are many more good than bad
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Agree. Just like the general population. The more they get squeezed and the good guys retire, more of the less desirable people will get hired. Who wants to deal with the crap they've been receiving for the last decade? The less qualified, or the guys with Hitler complexes? And yes, I've been harassed by a couple, but the good professional ones are the norm. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

Big wind storm in Bullhead AZ a couple days ago. Knocked down many trees and power poles. Slowly getting the power back on and without air conditioning it is not nice. Our place came through ok no power so will have to clean out freezer when we get back down there. Lots of roof damage and a few block walls around town and of course the temps in the 100+.
You said block walls? Meaning the wind took them down!!?!!? Oh my. I wanted so badly to do a cinder block wall around my place. Wife said it would feel like a prison, kinda compound what I had in mind honestly.
But for real they can blow over like any other fence?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Around here they use a lot of 4" wide, interlocking block with normal 8" single stack pillars every 10 foot. They only fill the pillars, and run a single strand of rebar (sometimes) under the top row of block. You could knock them down with a lawnmower. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

a program running in the background will fire an explosive charge which separates the heavy copper bus cables permanently interrupting the power supply.
Yea I'd like to avoid anything resembling that in a vehicle myself or more importantly my wife/son and future kids may be in.
All modern vehicles have explosive charges in them Bobby. Not just the airbags, but also the seatbelts. ...I may or may not have played around with them multiple times. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

Dang Fred. Been planning to move one of the sheds closer to the shop. It was previously an office used by previous owners, and it was out front by the street. I decided to build a new fence, including a 2 block base to keep the shop from flooding again. The shed was in the way. It was also 6" in the ground. After digging around it and looking behind the metal siding, I realized how bad the termite damage was. A before and after pic.   Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

The AZ has no tint restriction so I assume that’s why Ken is so dark. DOT is why I did 35%
You should also do the windshield just a light color but still blocks the same amount of UV light.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yeah we have restrictions. They typically only check if you're pulled over for something else. As soon as I'm stopped I roll all the windows down and turn on the dome if it's dark out so they can see throughout the truck. .. fronts are 25, rest 15. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

Glad to hear you're doing better Fred. That steak looks mighty yummy Sam. I went to the hills with the boys, during the storm season. The place is beautiful during monsoons, just have to be careful. Yesterday we had a mountain oyster fry and while I was there having fun my buddy started sending me pics of the shop he was keeping an eye on for me. What a mess. Him and my brother were down here til midnight trying to save what they could out of the office. I came home this morning and been cleaning up. One pic is the front door of the office, one of a 35" tire, and the waterline on the highest connex.      Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

You talked about destroying a portion of the world with the skid steer and cutting head as a business opportunity. Are you still thinking that way or will it be gone as well?
Good question, but let me answer for Don. He's on the road to Arizona, or Idaho, to drop off the kabota. He decided to donate it to me because I admitted that I would be destroying his machine, instead of "parking" it. More importantly, my name isn't Dave. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

The unit i sent you had a shift motor on it. could very well be the issue. but i would still like an up in the air w/ all 4 wheels off the ground test. 2wd/4wd check driveline free spin, and verify front wheels spin in opposite direction not same.
I didn't remember you supplying the tcase. I thought he rebuilt it for some reason. JR, a scanner can test the encoder motor. It can also be used to compare the vss with the front wheel speed sensors while running on stands in 4wd or down the road. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

So I had this mess for some time. It’s used packaging material that I recycle when I ship product I build in house. Most of this is from Tate honestly. So it was out of hand to say the least. Then last week I had an idea, what if I had a net?
So ten minutes and $35 later Amazon was shipping me a truck cargo net….
It arrived last night and first thing this morning I found a good spot outside of the overhead lights under my mezzanine. Best part is I can reach up and pull pieces thru the net as I need them. Up out of the way and semi organized.

One of the worst evaporators I've done. The dirt formed so many layers that it was falling off in clods, filling the case. (09 f250). .. and this pile of pens, etc was in there somewhere.

Ever heard of SANY?
They are a Chinese heavy equipment manufacturer who want to be China's Caterpillar corporation
I recently looked at buying a SANY excavator and found them to be top-tier.
Anyway, they filed two concepts with the Chinese patent office for an electric pickup truck to enter the market worldwide.
What do you think?
