Waiting patiently to get back out. @X2700 and I in northern WI last year.

Oil is high so they keep on drilling. Natural gas comes with the oil whether they want it or not. Where was that at? I bought some the other day that was around $25 for a 5 quart jug and I bought it in a 3 pack. Use it in my wife's Ecoboost. Think I went 10k on the last change. Want to change it at more like 5k but get busy and lose track.

The presidential election will be won and lost and the battleground states. The Trump 0.2 lead is a national poll with only Trump and Biden. That's not how we elect presidents.

Maybe I just need to put down the feed bag for awhile. Or ride Dave's XCR with the big boy springs?

Sounds like you need to pick up the pace!

The legislature just needs to repeal the 1864 ban and let the 2022 law go into effect. I think many states will end up in the 12-16 week range. That seems to be what most people support, even in conservative states like Ohio and Kentucky.

Reminds me of the time I blew the bump stops apart on the rear suspension of @X2700 's XCR.

You will see less and less diesels in the light and medium duty markets. The emissions, cost, complexity, and reliability will push more of those applications to spark ignition engines. Already seeing it with the Ford 7.3L gas and the new Cummins X10 fuel-agnostic platform.

This is how it would be done from my Samsung Galaxy S23. For your purposes, WLAN and Wi-Fi are the same thing. Setup --> Connections --> Data Usage --> Mobile data turn off. Setup --> Connections --> Wi-Fi --> Search and find drone to connect to

Wish mine was 4wd. It's only 2 wheel drive with turf tires. Perfect for what I need it for now but wasn't worth a shit in the snow!

Newer setup with rebuilt trailer.

Ours lived a hard life, sat outside most of the time. I used it for years around my property before buying a new Rancher. I have 3 machines now, 88 Fourtrax 300 2x4, 2020 Rancher 420 4x4 solid axle, and a 2023 Sportsman 850. When I need to drag my driveway, spray weeds, fertilize, or aerate the lawn, guess which one I pick? Since I have the Sportsman now, this trailer is permanently hooked up to the Rancher. The sprayer stays on my Fourtrax now.

There is a big difference for viability of electric/battery powered equipment. Short use or easy to change batteries, sure. I don't use a sled or pwc for 30 minutes at a time. A lot of times on sleds we have a whole tank of fuel burned by 10 AM and are out for 8+ hours. Cordless tools are intermittent use, even for contractors, and the batteries are easily replaceable and don't require special charging infrastructure. Electric would be better suited for applications like ATVs or UTVs that are used around a business or farm. Sleds maybe for places like ski resorts but that's a real limited market. My next commuter car will probably be a Tesla but I'm only going ~70 miles round trip usually. All wheel drive and I park in my garage right next to the electrical panel. No more stopping every week for gas, just plug it in when I get home and charge at off-peak rates overnight.

Actually that's Mexico now.

I've got all my money tied up in RIVN based on a stock tip I found here a couple years back.

A few years back the bowling alley in St Peter, MN burned down. It was all over the local news that morning. We had good snow that year and the trail went right by there so I made a quick spin down there to investigate. It was easy to park in the ditch and watch from a distance on a sled. Ended up talking with the owner (who set the fire) and his former partner (who wanted out) while they were still putting out the fire. I felt really bad for them, total loss. Then on the news later it came out he actually started the fire. It's crazy what people are capable of where you or I or any normal person would never even think to do that. https://www.mankatofreepress.com/news/local_news/update-bowling-alley-arsonist-sentenced-to-jail-restitution/article_56b0d482-b7e3-11eb-b7b1-2783912c6a8d.html

Yup, where I grew up there were pretty limited opportunities outside of ag. The only ones making money there were the ones who actually ran the operation. Thankfully, I'm in the position now where I can do more work remotely. Between traveling and work from home I don't spend that much time in my office at headquarters. I own zero crypto. Crypto bros were just crying because they all went broke. Now that BTC is back up they are saying how great it is and everyone should get into it.

Get something where we can fit one of those 4 place pwc trailers in the garage.

My advice to millennials and gen z is to save more, spend less, and don't ever invest with Blackrock. Fidelity low cost broad market index funds is where I keep most of my money.

When I was in Destin in January you couldn't go anywhere without tripping over a for sale sign. Lots of stuff for sale, people just don't like the price. Housing prices along with insurance costs have gone way up in Florida. That's if you can even get insurance.

The 2024 election is estimated to cost more than $10 billion.

3 year old 9R "safe bet" Keep Indy Dan on speed dial.

Regardless of mileage. That 9R could have 50 miles on it and outside of warranty I wouldn't want anything to do with it.
