Picked up a new moto helmet,   They don’t last forever, the materials break down and become brittle like all plastics and fiberglass

LS2 is a newer brand to me, great reviews and don’t have a requirement for silly designs and graphics.  Simple and clean. 

Scott goggles are made local to Layton Utah. Support local right

That hardware is only as good as what it’s screwed into.   Time will tell and looking forward to an update.


I have a question about your baskets in the cooler,  are they designed to act as a shelf or do they keep food from direct contact with the inner walls? Or some other

Well due to an order in council or whatever our treasonous dictator did today about 2.5 million criminals were created.

Not sure if a zipper would work in this application like a tent trailer.  Maybe Ken can inform us what his tent walls look like with his recent updates on the pop tent trailer roof repair.

JR,
why not living quarters on the second floor?   Also where are you sourcing the solar powered water pump from and cost?
Can’t have the living upstairs.  JR is old like me and stairs suck!

On Saturday I got a surprise phone call about a job change at work, finally time to move into the office and start doing estimates on houses and build plans.   Saturday I stewed over it and didn’t sleep, Sunday I made sure i slept with a whiskey, Monday I survived Tuesday I slept.  Tonight.  Not so much

Change bothers me, it always has.   Never mind it being good or bad.   It’s different and messes me up.   So.  I am up stewing over Ways to streamline the new tasks, adjust spreadsheets to be more intuitive. 

Can’t sleep!

We have hills.  I just chose not to build next to one,  those usually come with boulders that take explosives to break up.    No desire for that in my life

I’ll dig up a photo

This house was on the east side of the freeway. Amazing view but the rock wall is  from rocks pulled from foundation hole

My yard is with in a 2% grade everywhere.
Zero slope,  just enough to run water away from the house.

No trees in the open area, some round boarders.

My thought with the big mower is mostly the pure fact it’s cheap!!!

I do have some neighbors I could probably mow for in my new found free time.

Leaning towards that if I can scrub the cash up from somewhere

On with the garage, it is going slow but good. Got the cabinets and shelving up and added a little box for the new video system.

Benches are still a mess, but getting there. Kept the tool box shelf as a charging area and added battery holders. 3D printer does these nice and I can make them for Dewalt 20v too (free for knuckleheads)
I’ll shoot you a text and pay for em jr.  Need five at this point.  Unless I end up at another tool sale lol

Commercial zero turn is wayyyy overkill for 10k ft of grass man.

If you’re worried about maneuverability, look at the Deere 4wheel steer models. I have the x354 and it works great. Mows right inside and outside radiuses, excellent at mowing tight circles around trees too. Only downside to 4wheel steer models is it’s difficult to mow straight lines, if that matters to you

Don I don’t think the forum is paying out enough as a DOT to drop 12k on a mower this year or next.   

A friend is a golf course equipment sales who does have three upgrade trade in Deere mowers the z950.  About 12k new but he would part with one for 4K he said but that like yours, a big monster!!!  I have 10,000 sq feet of grass not acres like you guys. 

My lean towards a z turn machine is the maneuverability so I don’t have to edge or use the small mower to clean edges.    The lawn tractors are more affordable but they come with the clean up issues

Do you think the 60’ is worth the extra vs a 48’ 52’.   Lots of sizes I am seeing.  Anything over 36 I’ll have to open a car gate anyway.

The bigger the mower the more space it will take up in my garage also

Who has them?

What do you like about the one you have?

Why did you pick that mower over another?

What do you think is a mid grade price to look?


Kabota has some pretty decent looking mowers but to be honest I have used the exact same Honda walk behind mower for all my life.  Honda mowers are fantastic until you spend three hours mowing one yard. 


Thanks in advance for info.


No ponds in my yard so no floatation needed,

I do a fair amount of that too,  some of these young kids will look at a shoot and say no way,  One of my favorite spots in Mountain View Wyoming,   Spend a hour or so trying best a hill until it’s complete or the trail is so blown out you can’t get even past your previous attempt.   Such a good heart pumping work out

Very nice work, but still want to know where the hot water on demand tank vents?

Dave, when I built mine I put a big utility box on the tongue that held most of it.
I have the location for all of it I just honestly look at the electrical task as a nightmare.  Wiring anything has always been daunting.   I can do almost every other portion of a build myself but electronic wiring leaves like a millennial holding a shovel

I do!!  Horsepower is the reason men do most things,   I used to have a “ hill shooter” banshee,  it wasn’t the fastest but I would give some older guys a good run because I didn’t have any Lbs to my name.   That rush of smashing gears up a massive sand hill barely hanging on, hoping you don’t miss a gear, and whoopin an ol man crap talker because I was a punk kid.

I do the same now on some much more narrow ridges and more technical trails similar rush less expensive
