For bolt action definitely go left handed. I have found savage is the best option for left handed youth shooters. Nothing fancy but very accurate and affordable.

Tomorrow I’m pretty sure. The ratio depends on where you applied.

re: Outboard work through pricing?

For about $150-200 and roughly hour of your time you could do it yourself. This includes spark plugs and fuel/water separator too. It’s an easy job. I did it myself on my 115 at the beginning of the year.

re: F250 Oil Leak

Posted by tigNstick629 on 4/9/25 at 8:07 pm to sonoma8

Have a 2016 f250 myself. Ford fixed the upper oil pan leak under warranty at about 90k miles. At about 170k it started leaking again (3-5 drops overnight). I’m at 235k now with no other issues so I just keep rolling it, I just don’t park it in the driveway.

I always prefer to do it in the fall. Heard a long time ago the trees start pulling sap down to the roots in preparation for winter and it pulls the poison down just the same making for a faster kill.

re: Little Gem vs Teddy Bear magnolias

That is a nice Teddy Bear specimen.

I actually have a Teddy Bear at my current house that has been in the ground approximately 15 years - this one is not near the house. Close to 20ft tall and is a good looking tree but very pyramidal.

I rode around some old established neighborhoods and notice more what appear to be Little Gems and prefer their more ovate to columnar growth habit.

I can push out the planting to 10ft and still make the beds look good and also do like the look of the leaves of the teddy bear. I am just not a huge fan of anything too conical or “Christmas tree” like in shape. I know magnolias tend to grow somewhat cone shaped when young but I am having trouble finding verified mature example of both.

Torn between planting one these two approximately 6-8ft off one corner of the house as part of new landscaping.

Get a bag of hair clippings from your barber and sprinkle some around in your flower bed. Doesn’t take much

A little over halfway through a similar sized build now in that area. Around $160/sqft living. Own the property and handled my own dirtwork so that isn’t included in the price.

re: Can You Naturally Heal Plantar Fasciitis

Posted by tigNstick629 on 7/1/24 at 7:23 am to Scientific73

PF is a symptom of a weak foot. All the suggestions of never going barefoot and using insoles only makes the problem worse by masking the symptoms.
It takes time, but work on foot strengthening and busting up the fascia daily by rolling a tennis ball under your foot with as much pressure as you can stand. It may take quite a few weeks, but this is the only true cure.

re: Bees keep coming back under my siding and hive in my subfloor

Posted by tigNstick629 on 3/31/24 at 9:54 pm to CajunSportsman

Invite a local bee keeper to set swarm traps before the spring swarming season. There is something there that bees like so you are likely to keep getting them. They only need a very small opening into a cavity to setup and build hive.
