It kicks pretty good if you’re not ready for it. A buddy of mine was shooting his AR and then switched to my bullpup. He was use to the AR feel and the bullpup pushed him backwards every time he pulled the trigger. He’s a big guy too, it was pretty funny. Once he set his feet he had no trouble. ...
I have one. It came with 2 5 round magazines. I bought a 20 round drum for it. Probably my favorite gun to shoot. Puts a big smile on my face when I shoot it. It’s from Black Aces Tactical. No cycling issues so far. There’s videos on YouTube of people running 20 rounds through it. They make a pump a...

I didn’t do any negotiations on the truck price, they had the best price around at the time and they knew it. I had a voucher for $1k off since I was switching from a GM vehicle to a Ram so I paid $45k for a loaded out Laramie. I bought mine in the beginning of 2021, that price is about $12k higher ...

I had one for 3 years, about 70k miles. It was a great truck. Absolutely no issues with it. I drive 30 miles each way for work, so a 60 mile commute. When I first got the truck it was averaging 13 mpg. I wasn’t happy. People that had Hemi’s before, told me it will get better the more you drive it. I...

re: GreenPan vs Caraway Cookware

We have a set of green pans. Probably the best pans I’ve used when it comes to even heating. But the finish isn’t very durable in our case. Both of the shallow pans we have are chipped. No idea how they got like that because we never use anything but wood or silicone in them. And we towel dry them a...
I was going to post what CP3 said, I think most are on a 3 position switch. One position is just the navigation lights, one position is off, and one position is navigation and anchor lights. If your boat was used when you got it maybe someone put the wrong switch on it during a repair. ...

re: Type of gas for boat?

Posted by STATigerFan on 9/27/23 at 7:33 pm
I use ethanol gas in everything. 4 wheelers, boat (inboard), and lawnmower. My boat will “diesel” if I use ethanol free gas in it. I use an additive when my stuff sits for a while, usually put it in at the end of the season. Then start it in the spring with the same fuel that was in it from the fall...

[quote]I was answering the guy who said he didn't understand why people would turn down OT and do side gigs for less money. [/quote] Yeah, I think that was me. I was just saying that if money is the goal, OT is a better option than most side gigs. If the goal is to be off and have hobbies but mak...

[quote]Youth baseball umps can make $60-70 per 2 hour game. 15 years ago I was making $100 every Saturday for reffing 2 youth football games that lasted about 2.5 hours total. High School varsity games were about $120. Plus you get to be somewhat physically active and exercise your mind understand...

[quote]Sometimes it is not about money. Both of my children that work at the plants have creative side gigs. Woodworking/furniture building. It is more for something to do on off days and a sense of accomplishment than it is making the most money possible. [/quote] I get that too but again, I don...

[quote]I umpire baseball during the spring/summer but I also know guys that do football, basketball, soccer, and softball the rest of the year[/quote] I understand that. I bet you don’t do that for the extra money though. That’s what I think the OP is talking about, trying to make cash on the sid...

[quote]I cant believe I've never thought of this.[/quote] Me neither. I work with people that bitch about working any amount of overtime but have side gigs where they work way harder for way less pay. Makes no sense to me. ...

re: Side gigs for shift work

Posted by STATigerFan on 9/17/23 at 6:31 pm
No, if I need extra money I just work overtime at work. Not many places outside of work where I can make $3k for 3 days, most of which I’m just sitting around doing nothing. ...

re: Portable generator-dual fuel

Posted by STATigerFan on 8/10/23 at 12:33 pm
I have a tri-fuel (gas, propane, natural gas). I have ran it on natural gas and propane before just to try it and laid test. Haven’t actually used it long term yet. Like you said l, you lose some power going from gas to propane and lose even more when using natural gas. I just made sure I got one wi...
[quote]Hmmm. No mention of the cost of an electrician or new stove? [/quote] Not only that, when the only thing available is electric, it will be more expensive. Removing resources from the market usually makes the things that stay in the market more expensive. That alone probably knocks out the ...

re: Possible A/C issues?

Posted by STATigerFan on 7/31/23 at 10:44 am
I have a 2200 sqft house with tall ceilings and I have a 5 ton. We had it replaced in 2021 with a 17 seer 2 stage unit. I think it was a 13 seer 5 ton before. But my A/C has never had trouble cooling. Right now it runs about 16 hours a day on average. It’s set on 72 in the day time and 68 at night. ...
I use Bent Marine in Madisonville for my boat. Both times I’ve had to use them it’s been a good experience. I’ve only used them in the off-season though, they seem to be very busy during the summer months. ...
[quote]Do not get Venom Power Terra Hunters. Had them for 10k miles and can’t get them to balance and has to switch back to KO2s [/quote] I second this. I went cheap last time and got the Venom Power R/T Plus tire. It looked really good, tread pattern was similar to the Nitto Ridge Grappler. Bu...
We stayed at Turquoise last year for spring break and there were some condos that had damage. Some hand railings were patched up and some balconies had what looked like makeshift supports going up to the next level, almost like it was being supported by the floor below it. I could see at least 2 lik...
