  1. You will have no problem if it rains, just harden's the area where you park. 127 is wide open no escort anymore. Dumont is like a race track, fast runs for about 30-45 minutes. Then chill for ea bit. Hit it again. Definitely a good time. I take take a 42' foot coach with 26' box behind it

  2. The salt water pool is almost maintenance free, the chlorine generators work great. The pool is 15 years old now, replaced one about 2 years ago. The wife takes care of it, but says she just has to add a little acid maybe twice a year. All we do is check the trap every now and then and clean the filter in the spring and fall. We also have a remote spa that I put a chlorinator on it too. Same thing very little maintenance.

  3. I have 3 Weboost signal amplifiers, they work great. I live remote in a canyon. No signal unless I go on a hill. Bought one of thees for the house, wifes she shed (bitch barn) and my shop. They work great. We didn't have internet so I had to hotspot my phone to use the internet. Go to Solid Signal website and order from there. They have a antenna that you mount up hi where you get a good signal and run coax cable to the transmitter in your house. Never has a problem

  4. Just got Star Link 2 weeks ago and shut off all my Direct TV boxes. I'm trying to see how far I can boost the Wifi signal on my property. I have a couple houses and some outbuilders I'd like to get the signal to. I have direct line of sight of all the units. Wondering if there's something I can use to reach them wireless. With Star Link you have to buy a service for each location with a dish.

  5. Just freshened up, Came out of a car that had been sitting for years, trans had about 5 hours on it before parked. Pulled it a part and replace the dogs and seals. Have pictures of the inside. 4.57 R&P, 1st 3.08, 2nd 1.93, 3rd, 1.56, 4th, 1.20. Set up for midengine. With bell housing adapter, Flywheel, Kennedy dual clutch $14000,  without extras $13500

  6. So many of my friends decided to sell and move somewhere else. Almost all of them only visited where they moved to. If they moved to Arizona now there crying it's too hot in the summer or up north they ask if it ever warms up. I've lived in quite a few states in my life time. will never move where it gets colder than here and can't stand the Arizona heat, everyone one of these guys go to the mountains the whole summer. I love where I live. Lots of land no neighbors and close to town but still country. I think we now have 100 hundred people in our valley now, some day it will build around us but bought enough property where no can move next to me so I'm happy. We have a house in Florida where they have this tax. No big deal just don't be a house flipper. Some day Cal will go broke and they'll have to change there ways if not oh well. Plenty of work around here.

  7. My son just went through this. Ambulance ran a stop sign and broadsided the car with the girlfriend and kids in the car. Insurance offered what was available through the adds. Problem was none of the vehicles had the same options. So he refused there offers. After 2 months they wouldn't budge. So he went and bought a new car. They sent him a check and wanted the title. Told them to pound sand. Still fighting it.  Farmers Insurance by the way.

  8. I have three houses and my shop on septics, have only had the shop pumped once because we were having a problem with office drain. it hadn't been pumped  for 35 years. They said nothing wrong with it. Dug up the around the tank added clean outs for the pipe and recovered it. a tree 150' away had a root get inside the drain pipe at a improper glue joint and collapsed it. Never flush the ladies stuff down, other than that if it's sized right never will have a problem. All my septics have leach pits but one in Florida is a leach field. My house has two leach pits because of the size of the system.

  9. Bought a new Ford 6.0 when they came out. It blew a radiator hose with like 500 miles on it. First service work on it. Had little problems here and there. Always took it to the dealer. When these came out the dealer didn't have but one mechanic qualified to work on the diesels. So it would take at least 3 weeks before I would get it back. When they had the two recalls on them they took away a bunch of power and the check engine light would always come on.  California started the diesel smog and when the waranty was almost out I would tow my Samurai to the dealer unhook and go home. After returning it to them every two days after getting it back. The service manager told me to call ford and ask to lemon it. Ford wouldn't even talk, so I got a hold of a lemon law lawyer and sent him the records on it. He called and said no problem. Three weeks later he called and said they will pay the full purchase price, plus insurance and registration since new. This truck was almost 5 years old but only had 48000 miles on it. They wouldn't buy the lift kit and 39" tires though. I told no problem ,still had all the original parts. Put it back to stock, returned it to the dealer where I bought it and they had a check for me. Only took about a month.

  10. I've done this a few times, get a hold of one of the independant company that does registrations and do a lien sale on it. Place a value on it for storage (this is what you will pay tax on for registration) It will have a 30 day hold then they will issue a new title in your name. It's not hard to do.

  11. A couple years ago I picked up a JD 790 for 10 grand needed a little work but not much, also picked up a tandem axle dump truck for 2000. both had to leave ca. because of smog. I have 55 acres so i could care less about the emissions. They will never leave the property. in Ca. you have to register your off road equipment, so most companies send there old stuff to auction. A guy came to my shop the other day and was trying to sell a JD 790  for 15000. If you're interested I can try to track him down. We're closed this week but can get it next week.  

  12. I agree on this, I started going to Glamis in 87 when nothing was there but the Glamis beach store, Dirty Bob's and Clean Genes. Fell in love right away, Started on the pads for years then moved to wash road. Stopped going when the rangers started handed out all the tickets. We switched to the other dunes but this year going to do at least 2 or 3 trip at Glamis

  13. Started going in the late 80's, it was a blast. Now I live in Honda Valley. Usually just cut across and head up toward Big Bear. It's been shut down for years, The locals will start going and when it gets crowded they usually just tell everyone to leave. If it's not busy will stop on the way back threw and hang out for a while. 

  14. Years ago needed dozer for doing some work at the property. Hunted around and found a Komatsu (equivalent to a D9). The guy that sold it to me was turning over his fleet and said he did Cal Fire work. Told me when I was done let him know and he'd hook me up with Cal Fire to lease it out. Checked into it and got my self a low boy trailer and tractor. They rated it a Class A dozer and would pay $7300 a day with transport and two operators. First fire we got called to, they call you and if you accept your on the clock. First you head to where they tell you, then wait and have everything inspected, if pass then you sit and wait. They had us at the camp for 5 days and never unloaded and then sent us home. Couldn't believe it. One of the older regulars told me they call it white welfare. Says it happens all the time. Did that for 3 or 4 years until the state started going broke. They changed the rules and after that it sucked. But when a big fire used to hit they liked to let it get going big before they even tried hard to put out so they could get federal money. It's all political.

  15. My friend is from Idaho and he bought some nice land with a little A frame on it 10 years ago because he eventually wanted to go back. He went to pull a permit to expand it and they didn't charge much and didn't care about the engineering on it. They told him they won't even inspect when it's done. They said if it falls down it's your own fault. Now he says because so many people have come up there that when he put a RV outlet on his power pole about a month later he got a letter from the building and safety that he must pull a permit and have it inspected or it must be removed. He's pissed, said way too many have moved up there and it's turning to chit like everywhere else. Prices are getting stupid, plus more rules. He's beginning to hate it.

  16. I live in California and love where I'm at, minutes from a lake. lots of land no neighbors, but not far from town. I vote here because I'm hoping to stop some of this. My business and grand kids are here so I probably will never leave. I also have a home in Florida on the water and I chose not to change my residence to there because it's already a red state and they don't need my vote. A lot of my friends have been moving to other states that have lived here they're whole life and it's funny to talk to them about how different it is. A first they think it's awesome and depending where they moved too I hear different things, from way too hot in the summer, rains too much or my favorite it's -ucken cold here too much. Was raised in the midwest and would never go back to those winters. I say stay and fight.
