I have had the dewalt 20v pole saw for several years now and my experience has been the total opposite. I have many batteries but can normally make more than 100 cuts on one 5ah battery. And I'm talking 4/5/6 inch cuts. The thing works great and just never quits. Maybe you had a lemon, I'm not sure.
Bought a huge Ferris that was a few years old from an auction nearby. Paid roughly 1/6th of the price of a new one. Thing has been a beast for the last few years. The suspension on it compared to other mowers I've driven is amazing.
98 times out of 100, no. Like others have mentioned, they're usually asking new prices for used (sometimes very) firearms. I always stop, especially when I'm passing through random towns. Everyyyy once in a while they'll have something that they don't know what they've got. Usually older ones. I have picked up a few nice auto fives and JM stamped marlin this way.
Have grown up using Honda all my life. Still have an 84' Big Red and 98'-300. Both have been heavily used for decades now without an issue, so I went with the Honda Pioneer 1000-5 last year. Do not have a single complaint so far. Have used it at hunting lease hauling small trailers with ease. Like mentioned above, the 1000 is much quieter at cruising speeds of 30/40mph than the 700 that my buddy has. The top speed is listed to be in the 60s but I never go more than 40mph or so. Love the way it can have a large dump bed or fold up the rear two seats for more people. Hoping to keep this one running for several decades like I've done with my other Hondas.

My 2015 did the same thing at 150k last year. Did it once or twice at first but would reset after truck was turned off.. Once it started doing it more, I brought it to a transmission shop. About $800 fix but supposedly it was the leadframe which is inside the transmission. I didn't even attempt to fix that myself. Sucks, but it fixed the issue.
Shot a cotton mouth a few days ago with that same set up. To the head, very effective. I was impressed.
Had a good year for my young hunting career. Had more sits that any other year by far. Got two nice 8 points and was after a big 10 that always seemed to evade me. Let alot of small deer walk this year and it paid off. Already counting down the days until next season.
I have been running Moultrie Mobile cell cams for several years now after being disappointed by spypoint. Most online places have a sale for 2 of them for $99 right now. I've had a few of them that are 4 years old now and still working great. Definitely recommend.

Slim Jims, Vienna Sausage, and fudge rounds!
Personally, I wouldn't use it or mix it in any engine. Potentially causing issues to save about 45 bucks of gas probably isn't worth it.

Just moved into our new build two months ago in the same area. We came in at about $136 Sq/ft. 2200 sq/ft 4bed/2.5bath. That's with upgrading to brick fireplace, huge brick archway, adding half bath. All granite counters, crown molding throughout, cathedral ceiling in living and master. I wish I'd have built about 10 years ago of course, but compared to what I hear now, I'm pleased with the place we built at that price.

The builder's basic house without a few of those things starts at around $120 sq/ft.

I own the property and also did all the dirt work, so this was just for construction.
A few years back my buddy and I wanted to float the bayou in kayaks and kill some woodies. We knew a big rainstorm was coming in, but we were both off and determined. Had our phones in ziplocs tucked away in the bags. Bayou was low so the float took about 6 hours. Storm ended up being awful, a few tornadoes in nearby areas. Wind gusts horrible and tree limbs falling all around us. We kept paddling and actually killed our limit. Got to the pickup spot to see a few locals launching boats to come find us. Checked our phones to about 60 missed calls from our wives. Great hunt and memory.

Bought a 2017 model in 2019 ( lease car) good vehicle used on numerous long trips and day to day commute

Only issue is in eco mode it under or over shifts around 30-35 mph range


We have a 2017 that started doing the same thing between 30-45 mph. Did a bunch of research and it turned out to be a very easy fix. Simply flushing the transmission twice fixed the problem completely. Bought the OEM Honda transmission fluid from the dealer and changed it twice. Issue resolved completely! Did it about 15k miles ago and still no issues.

Academy has this vortex for $149 and you get a $50 Academy gift card when you buy it. Plenty of scope for rimfire. The several Vortex scopes I have, even the lower end ones, have never let me down.

I have a Vortex Crossfire with Vortex rings on my CVA Scout 35 Whelen. I've put about 14 rounds through with since sighting it in and it's still holding a true zero. I too am only shooting about 80 yards max where I hunt with it, but the Vortex combo has held up great for a sub $200 set up.

I have a few off of primary arms. They've been great with no issues. Made in Texas I believe.

re: Buying a rifle from a Pawn Shop

I've found some very good deals in pawn shops. I stop in a few every few months. Most times prices are too high but every once in a while you stumble across a GREAT deal. Bought TWO different old Browning auto 5 Magnum 20's at different pawn shops in near mint shape for wayyy less than they're worth.
Filed eform in December of last year. Just got approval today! 239 days my poor little can had sit at the store waiting to be warmed up.
