    Another thumbs up for US General from Harbor Freight. Nicer than the Craftsman, Husky, etc budget tool boxes.

    New SXS Laws in Az

    I took the course and got my card. Probably one of the few to have it. BTW its a JOKE that those who need training the most (renters) are exempt. Ditto for the Calif boater safety course and card, renters who need the training way more than owners, are exempt. Proof that it's just a money...

    "unpersoned"spacecraft will be sent back to Earth, according to the FAA.

    How long until Boeing is gone? I'd rather fly on a COMAC. Go into space on a Boeing? Hell no.

    I know its off road, theres a section. But..can am announcement

    4 seater works great for us as it does double duty at our house in San Felipe. One rear seat is converted to a dog bed for dog/beach days. I like the long wheelbase in the San Felipe whoops, and for multi-day prerunning the rear space holds gear, cooler, etc. Have never had a person in the...

    Question, how long should a n/a 1000 hp big block last in a trophy truck

    Long ago I bought a transmission and torque converter out of the Simon and Simon TT (from Culhane) to use in my 8 truck. The stall speed was 4000. Don't know about present day 1000+ hp big blocks but I would not be surprised if they live north of 4000 the whole race. Even with this, just...

    Question, how long should a n/a 1000 hp big block last in a trophy truck

    1000 miles between rebuilds. Should be able to do the 250, 500, 400. Then refresh before and after the 1000. They are used up on a peninsula run. And the driver matters. Use the torque, no reason to buz it to redline every shift for 20 hours.

    Havasu best sausages

    Roadhouse Market at Swanson and Scott, kinda behind Judy’s. Hatch green chili and cheese sausages are the bomb! Best I’ve ever had. I boil them in a pot with 1/2 stick butter, a whole coarse sliced white onion and enough IPA beer to cover the sausages. Fat boys need 15 min, skinny 10 min...

    2016 Ford 6.7 Diesel fuel pump failure

    Is there a good diesel mechanic in Havasu that could replace the CP4 with a DCR pump? If not, how about Vegas or Phoenix?

    Slab leak, now a re-decorate and repair thread.

    About 10 years ago I had an under slab leak in north county San Diego. Mold in walls, cabinet bases wrecked etc. Liberty Mutual insurance adjustor drove scope of repairs and they paid it, about $70k total. But not only did my rates more than double, but I sold the house, rented for 3 years...

    ZR-1

    I could not routinely use even a fraction of that cars potential on the street and keep my license. Much rather have that sort of power in a desert racer or prerunner or boat where you can actually use it and not go to jail. If it's supposed to be a track car, then rather have a single seater...

    Todays standup jetskis

    We used to rent 440's from U-haul, toss them in the back of a hatchback, bungee the lid closed and off to the lake. Rode a first gen SuperJet for years then sold it after all the sit downs polluted the river.

    Well Dropped 50 pounds and still fat :(

    Good job, keep at it! I'm down from 290 to 230 so far this year, shooting for 190. Saving lots of money by greatly reducing visits to restaurants/bars and drive through junk. Lifestyle change after considering mortality at age 65. Fewer meds as I go too.

    Landscape in Havasu

    BTW, if you want some color, these do well in Havasu with enough water from a drip system. https://lakehavasumagazine.com/946/

    Booking airfare to Cabo San Lucas advice needed...

    UTV rentals. Fishing, they will provide everything. Pool time, restaurants, walking and shopping, drinking. There is a zip line over a canyon but have not done that. We much prefer San Jose del Cabo and favorite restaurant is Flora Farms there.
