Lol, it never fails,when I see one driving a car or whatever, when they stop its always at least 4 or more getting out. But you really don't see them until then. I guess thats how they are used to doing it to get across the border..lol cord wood that is lol

What's wrong with Mexicans? I have quite a few Mexican friends and a lot of my workers are Mexicans. Most of them work circles around the white guys....

Okay, so I found my pics...

Here's pretty much what it looks like now (some of the trees are trimmed up a bit, and one is gone):


Here is the tree I took out a couple months back. You can see the stump right up next to the house to the right of the window AC -- why the original owners put a tree there that got that big is beyond me. I'm about to take the other one out that's up against the front of the house on the right side (you can see it in the pic above just to the right of the front door). It's the same type of tree (Bradford Pear).

So anybody got a brake controller in their truck?

I'm looking to put one in and I've heard Prodigy controllers are decent.

I'm looking for proportional not timer.

Justifying high grade stuff is easier when it makes you $ I suppose.

Question: How many pulls did it take you to start your Ryobi every time you wanted to start it?

Stone cold the KM110s take 3-5 and once they're warm you can just pull and go.

Technically the 110s are four-stroke engines. Some guys who don't know how to maintain their equipment have had problems with melting the valves and dropping them into the cylinder.

They are the guys that pull the guards off their trimmers and have 18" of line hanging off the head.
It would take the same amount, maybe a couple more. I don't remember it being a big deal. Warm, it would fire right up, one pull. That was before the fuel line & membrane pump problems which prompted me to do what I just did. LOL....

How the heck were they melting valves??

subject change - my last auction find was a 1940's Kearney Treaker #2 plain Horizontal mill for $120.00. All 5000 lbs of it. I got it, a Greaves Horizontal mill, 2 toolboxes, a couple pallets of milling cutters and drill out the door for less than $900.00. I had to call the cavalry with the dual tandem gooseneck to load out. All told it was about 11-12,000 lbs.
