    Battery powered lawn care equipment???

    I tried the black and decker lead acid mower. Batts lasted 3 years. Punted it and bought a honda gas mower. I loved my makita string trimmer though. If I were to try battery today, I would look at makita. Seems to be the most serious about building a quality tool.

    East Coast shipping ports shutting down in a few hours

    If I ran the company, I would pay as little as possible to get the result necessary. That is the job of the CEO and their management levels. I would pay the same for raw material or production supplies. As little as possible to get the result I wanted. And then I would collect my $15,000,000...

    East Coast shipping ports shutting down in a few hours

    What were the CEO bonus's of some of the fortune 500 companies that use that port? What is their (Longshoremen) current wage? What has the raise schedule been in the last 5 years? What has the cost of living gone up by? What is the demand for their labor?

    East Coast shipping ports shutting down in a few hours

    I'll play devils' advocate here. You are witnessing one of the few and possibly one of the last uses of leverage that laborers have left. The stock market is crazy high no matter where you look. Record profits at many big companies. Eff you money is everywhere but very little makes its way down...

    What's it worth? Custom chopper

    Unless the frame is a well known builder, I would think parting it out would yield the biggest payoff. The tank looks rough. Wheels are dated, pipes are stock maybe? Welds aren't horrible but for a custom, not great. And that motor is a big question mark.

    Skat Trak

    Skat Trak been an institution in the sand hobby for way longer than I have been in it. My cousin used to go to clean genes in the eighties to rent skat trak haulers for his home made atc 500. In this world of get it now and get it cheap, it's extremely hard for an American made product to...

    MIT for the win!

    I know without a shadow of a doubt how widespread it is and how powerful the movement is. I have no interest in spending the time and effort fighting the good fight. I don't see any payoff nor do I see it doing any good. If you figure out a way to make some headway, spread the word.

    MIT for the win!

    I don't know the full story. I work for a very large corporation you've definitely heard of. I know there are several DEI "scores" that are touted in advertising but I don't know if those scores open up the company to special funding or tax credits. They can't just be for advertising purposes...

    MIT for the win!

    I suspect from what I've seen in my own company that it's so wide spread it can't be stopped.

    fires near lake Elsinore

    Instead, we have laws that we can't have fires in our fireplaces or wood stoves for heat during the certain days in winter so the air is cleaner.

    Sand rail or SXS or dual sport?

    A sxs is the best bang for the buck currently. My old bones are moving, slowly, toward one and away from my beloved two wheelers. Rails, both dual sport and sand have their place but with so many one off parts, poor transmission choices, and difficulty buying new ones, it takes the right buyer...

    Buying and selling

    If it is diesel, price higher than you think it will bring. They are in high demand. gassers aren't getting much love. I paid 12K for this 96 chevy dually 4x4 with 454 and 92,000 miles. A similar condition ford or dodge w/ turbo diesel goes for double. Lots of people want the pre-smog diesels still.

    Buying and selling

    I just bought a '96 K3500. Didn't seem to be anyone else interested in the truck. I am keeping an eye on the housing market also. While inventory is building, prices aren't coming down significantly. Some three wheelers for sale for good prices which is a welcome change from a year ago.
