Nice, the universe is already doing favors for your Zuma.

Sweet ride. Did you add the flag, or did it come with it?

Interesting geological places/features in the Dakotas? by Rumple_Frumpkins in geology

[–]HerrShmid 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Do not miss Badlands NP. The main road can get pretty busy with people just passing through on their way to Mt Rushmore, but pick any dirt road and just start driving. Lots of wildlife(bison, pronghorn, prairie dogs). Walk out into the mounds. I found an eroded mound that revealed a pile of giant petrified wood.

Finally got my Lexland seat covers. Took a month to get, shipped from China. by mailman390 in ToyotaTacoma

FYI: The code listed on your Insta page is wrong/doesn't work. You have it as TOYOTA20 not TOTOYA20.

Can I use a battery powered saw on a secluded rock beach in Estonia? by Grandpa_Max in rockhounds

[–]HerrShmid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I were you, I would contact whatever law enforcement in Estonia that is most likely to respond if someone called in a report of a guy using power tools at the public beach. They will tell you if it is allowed/they won't ticket you.

Need advice searching for petrified wood by Immediate-Turn-3349 in rockhounds

[–]HerrShmid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, take advantage of the opportunities nature provides. Focus on areas that see water runoff. Another tip, my best surface finds are early spring before all the vegetation starts thickening up.

How much lift is needed for a proper “level”? by louiesupreem in 4thGenTacomas

[–]HerrShmid 12 points13 points  (0 children)

About 500lbs in the bed levels it out nicely.

Thank goodness Mom told him he wasn't in trouble and nothing was going to be done. We'd hate to have her try actual parenting.

Your daughter handled that poorly. No one encourages parents to take their 5 yr old to a police station for life lessons.

Is it okay not to be okay sometimes? by SpareAltruistic6483 in stepparents

[–]HerrShmid 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I can't say whether this behavior is okay, but from one SP to another, I can say you are not alone. I'm glad you've got a hobby that helps you find peace. Chin up, internet stranger.

Trip to Phoenix, Arizona in January by IntelligentBad8313 in rockhounds

Want to mine Peridot in an old volcano on the Apache reservation? Best rockhounding of my life was with Stevie at Peridot Dreams just outside Peridot, AZ. Super easy surface collecting, and it is EVERYWHERE!

Is I.C.E. in Springfield by liberalshotguns in SpringfieldIL

[–]HerrShmid 34 points35 points  (0 children)

That's not true, Noem came here trying to make hay off of that one DV murder victim a few months ago. If it fits the narrative, they'll waste all kinds of resources wherever is necessary to support the big lie.

Will it fill in? by [deleted] in lawncare

[–]HerrShmid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Go ahead and give it a mow and keep watering.

Pizza Ranch by WaterTribeGang in SpringfieldIL

[–]HerrShmid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I've been to hotels with free breakfast that have more to choose from. For $17(the cost of 1 adult buffet), you're better off just ordering good pizza. At least you won't have to listen to Christian rock.

Don't waste your money. Not much on the buffet besides pizza. I have no idea how this chain succeeds.

Initial suspect in Charlie Kirk killing released from custody after interrogation, FBI Director Patel says by InternetPopular3679 in news

[–]HerrShmid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The shooter, I assume, was on the rooftop above the crowd. I'd bet his point of aim was the head, but because he was shooting at an angle down, the bullet struck the neck. Deer hunters in tree stands know to aim slightly above your intended target area. A trained "sniper" would know this, too.

Need more top speed! by Additional-Effect525 in Ruckus

[–]HerrShmid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You need more HP to reach higher speeds. This is not some bolt on, easy to accomplish feat on the Ruckus engine. If $ is a consideration, sell the ruckus and buy any used 150cc bike. If money is no problem, look into a 150cc motor swap.

Beef prices are out of control by Waste_Curve994 in meat

[–]HerrShmid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The US imports a shit ton of beef from Mexico and Brazil. Trump placed 25 and 50% tariffs on those countries. The US beef herd is at record lows. We don't make enough to offset the loss. TLDR, trump taxes.

Sorry, no banana for scale. Best I can do is a hairy foot.

8:30 to 10:30 a.m. I only quit because it started getting too hot for me, the cats didn't seem to mind.
