re: ‘24 Toyota Tundras

2021 Silverado 1500 duramax…120k miles and the transmission needs to be replaced/rebuilt. Seriously considering a tundra. ...
[quote]I even shot the trash panda off the 6.5 by user error. No issues other than an end cap strike - got lucky[/quote] How was your customer service experience with Q after that?...
Have a trash panda and a half Nelson. Love them both. I use them on 6.5G and .260 REM. Going to do a form 4 tomorrow on a Huxwrx flow 5.56K…hoping for a fast turnaround. Form 3 took about a week....
I’ve had mine in for the last couple of months, along with a bed cap. Overall, I like it. But, one thing I really HATE and didn’t think about till the first time I had to do it…loading heavy stuff, like ice chests, totes, tool boxes, etc, now have to go up that much further to be in the truck. An...
Haha ok noted…river silt is NOT the way. I’ve been fighting crabgrass as long as I can remember, and I’m tired of missing my pre-emergent window and then fighting this stuff all summer. Every summer it’s the same story…backyard turns to a weed jungle and God forbid I miss a week on cutting it! ...
[quote]This is always shocking to me.[/quote] Do you NOT recommend bermuda? I have a terrible centipede yard that I’m also strongly considering transitioning to bermuda. Reasons why I shouldn’t? Also, what’s everyone using for top dressing? Lady at Cleggs is telling me river silt. ...

re: 13” 308 MCX SPEAR??

Posted by Geauxtac260 on 2/21/24 at 5:56 pm
This whole thought process started by wanted to have another option when it come to commonly available calibers if/when we experience another ammo shortage. I want to add 308 to the mix, but have no desire to lug around a long barreled rifle, plus suppressor. This would be 100% suppressed, so I’...

13” 308 MCX SPEAR??

Posted by Geauxtac260 on 2/20/24 at 5:54 pm
Thoughts on this caliber/barrel length combo? Lots of questions/debates over the SPEAR itself, but I’m mostly curious what everyone thinks of running a 308 with a 13” barrel. The military version of this rifle is chambered in 6.8x51 (.277 fury) and the pressure is much higher, resulting in m...

Well, 5” python inbound. Will be looking for a blued 6” next. ...

[quote]The real snobs look down on any appliance brand, but I’ve seen a lot of positive comment and reviews about this particular Breville.

Well, Breville dual boiler scheduled to be delivered on Friday. Been playing with my DF64 Gen 2 and an aeropress. Using 2wk old River Road Acadian beans. I’m about 8 attempts in and have yet to produce a drinkable cup lol. ...
I handled a 6” python today and liked it, but there wasn’t a 5” to compare it to. If anything, I thought it may be just a touch front end heavy. I do have a 4” SW 66-2 and a 4” Kimber DASA already. ...
Ha…of course, both is the answer. But if you could juuust pick one?...

Anyone feel strongly about this topic? Particularly looking at Pythons, but any experiences appreciated. ...

Haha, this pretty much sums up every “hobby” I’ve ever taken up. Me - “I think I want a better cup of coffee in the mornings, maybe I’ll get an espresso machine. Oh how about this $300 dehlongi, it looks nice! Wait, let me check Reddit and Tigerdroppings first….” 5 days later: Me - “Babe,...

I saw yesterday that apparently MiiCoffee (same machine/different brand) is saying they’re working on a circuit board swap that would actually allow for true pre-infusion. A reviewer recently dropped a video on YouTube that showed how the current form of “pre-infusion” just drops water for a seco...

I just ordered the DF64 Gen 2 and am soooo close to pulling the trigger on a Breville Dual Boiler. Like the idea of having a dual so I can make back to back drinks for family and friends. But I guess I should research this Legato. So it’s a single boiler but has a separate heating mechanism for ...
We use Clear Play. It’s awesome....
