  1. Just got back from 7 days in Baja. First major SXS ride for me. 6 cars, 10 people 1430 miles! One day was 262 miles. Some were very long days. Very fast paced, incredible scenery, river crossings, up hill rock climbs, high speed two track rained one night and this morning on the way back to tecate. Chasing white water on the shoreline

  2. Cutting back all trees to clear 14’ high and 12 feet wide for  Moho. This is a 1/2 mile windy road to my house. Replaced battery terminals on Moho. Some almost eaten in half. Went to a baptism. Putting up lights in the chicken condo to give chickens extra light in the morning and evening. The more light they see the more eggs they make. Have 28 chickens. Changed rear brake pads on my bike. 9 months old. 17000 miles driven. Front have 15% left

  3. $500 for the whole car with a bad motor is a great deal!

    if you're not mechanically inclined, buying  used motor and installing it would be best bet, easiest to do

     

    there is not crystal ball that could tell you if it got so hot that the rings are toast,  that would be the concern if you are just trying to do head gaskets

    if it got too hot and you only did head gaskets/ valve job it could be a big oil consumer because of collapsed rings

     

    the motors are tough and very rare to crack a head or block. 

  4. I have like 10 units in my house. I pushed the test button and all had good batteries. Just randomly the whole system would turn on. Turned out to be one more unit in an unsuspecting place. Battery was all the way dead. Once I replaced it the mysterious problem went away

  5. Different then dehydrated. We bought the machine for $2k used. I think they go for about $5k. Gets to -40 deg then vacuum for 24hours. Sometimes more because of water content. Can store for decades. Bananas and strawberries are awesome. Peaches. When your crop comes like too much fruit at one time then slice them up and freeze dry. Apples are awesome too

  6. My wife and I are preppers. We have 27 chickens and two rooster. Right now we get about 20 eggs a day. We sell them to local neighbors. We also freeze dry 84 at a time and get about 9-10 eggs per jar. Put in a small desiccant bag. We have reconstituted it with water and is amazing  2 tablespoons of water and two table spoons of egg makes one egg
