    Look what followed me home for this winters snow removal fun

    I had a similar setup at the farm with a hydro blower permanently installed, and it was really handy between November and April.

    Just saw the peak of the lunar eclipse...

    About 11:19 CDT in my latitude / longitude the nearly 95% occlusion hit its peak. I could clearly make out the pole of the earth as it passed just inside the perimeter of the moon's circumference. Luckily it has been very clear, and humidity is low enough to keep haze to a minimum. That's as...

    The All Powerful Megger

    Having the high voltage test ranges with a common meg-ohmmeter is useful, get one which also has a high-current, low resistance range and you will be grinning later for the time and trouble you save.

    Need some help with lighting ideas

    With the sustained heat, humidity, rainfall, and intense sun we've had out here in the rolling pastures, growing conditions have been nearly ideal, and almost rain forest-like. Tomatoes and peppers are loving it. Beans and corn are getting all they need and not stressing. The big commercial...

    No way I could use that lathe... No turret, no coolant, and metric only so everything I made would end up 1/25 scale.

    Valve spring question ??

    Beehive, ovate wire springs are now over 50 years old. Even OEM manufacturers have been using them for 30 years. GM has installed numerous versions, heights, and rates in stock engines since at least 1993, and provided a warranty. Have Iskendarian provide the spring specifications and buy...

    Used oil.

    Oil-fired burner with heat exchanger at work. In January it can consume nearly 5G/day. Ignitor requires cleaning at least once a season, and filters last over a year if the waste oil is pre-strained and allowed to gravity clarify (drop suspended solids) before pumping through the filter array...

    Right to repair

    The critical step has been made. Whether someone buys FSMs for their equipment, the OEM must now provide information in some format that is not a subscription, rental, or fee. Once that information is out there, it will be free in a matter of days. GM and AC/Delco never sold manuals on...
