    Officer Barney

    Personally, I don't begrudge the officers the time or taxpayer money to honor the fallen officer. In the grand scheme of taxes, I don't think it is anything I will worry about. Every job has it's benefits. The ability to spend their time and public money to hold and justify an event such as...

    Your best practices when negotiating a salary...

    I've always been pretty direct. Point out benefits you bring to the company, emphasizing those that are most likely to be unique to you or valued by the company. I'd always throw out the idea that you are considering a long term commitment to an organization and want to see if that is what...

    What does it take to blow up a 20T press?

    My arbor plates were made from 1.25 or 1.5" square stock welded side-by side and ground smooth

    Buying metal

    I still go to both, but SSS clean remnants are the best!

    Tire reviews.

    I've always preferred Michelin for on road, but often can't bring myself to pay the price for them on the SUV. I just bought a set of used wheels wrapped in lightly used Nitto Grapplers for the wife's suburban. They are way more aggressive than what I usually put on this rig, but I couldn't...

    I want to drive/ride to Hyder, AK next year...

    A guy in my neighborhood and his BIL drove adventure bikes to Alaska a year or two ago. Sounded like a really fun adventure. PM me if you want to get in touch with them.

    Looking at lightweight/compact stoves

    Looked briefly, but I haven't used one. It would be interesting for emergency use, but it is too heavy for me to consider as a backpacking stove.

    Diesel Mechanical Fuel pump rebuilding?

    Industrial Injection Services on 700w. They were recommended when I had some injectors rebuilt on my unimog. I was pleased with their service.

    Jeeper's 2006 6.0 F350

    That is crazy! Do any other engines benefit from a coolant filter? I've never heard of anyone running one except on a powerstroke.

    The new rig conundrum

    New vs Used is a choice each person needs to make since the benefits of having new are more subjective than financial. IMO, lightly used will almost always offer more bang for the buck.

    Show Us Your PROJECTS!

    I bought one of those led shop lights from Costco and love it! I wish they were a little cheaper so I could redo the garage lighting.

    Hunting hearing protection - Any recommendations?

    Yah, My recommendation doesn't mean I like wearing the protection, just that they work as well or better than other brands I've tried and I am not willing to go without.

    Hunting hearing protection - Any recommendations?

    I also have a couple of pairs of the Howard leight units mentioned above. I recommend them highly.

    Camping tips:The Sleeping bag

    So if you've never used a quilt, one thing that might not be readily apparent is that the sleeping pad goes under the footbox, so the foot part is just like a sleeping bag, where from the knees up, you are directly on the pad and the quilt is next to the pad.

    Camping tips:The Sleeping bag

    First, I'll warn you that mine are older quilts, so they have changed their strapping system to be a little (or maybe a lot) more convenient. Here is the new system. Mine have 3 elastic straps - think tiny shock cord. They attach to loops sewn in 3 places along each side of the quilt...

    Camping tips:The Sleeping bag

    I like a zippable footbox with a drawstring at the end for the most versatility. In reality, sewn would be ok for most all of my camping except summer, and for that I have a different quilt... I like the removable straps(elastic) to keep it in place. I haven't used baffles, but the way I toss...

    Playing in the Snow; Western CO

    That would be a cool comparison. I've done a lot of snow wheeling in chains and cheap tall tires. Not so much in big low pressure tires.

    Playing in the Snow; Western CO

    I wouldn't air down with chains. Its hard enough to keep them on and tight.
