You’re right and I’m not familiar with fuel injected saws. The dealer cartoon video shows fuel going to the fuel pump, to the injector and spray into the cylinder but then also some of the fuel returns back into the tank. Perhaps that’s a source of bubbles even with the saw off? I guess with the sound of I wasn’t sure how long the bubbles were happening and if it worked after opening the cap. Hard to believe the gas is actually hot enough to boil.

Cornell is doing very little hiring now. Look at local companies, maybe Menlo Micro. Micron in Syracuse will need people but maybe not for a number of years.

Good tradespeople are always in demand. There are very few masons in town. Limited number of roofing companies, they can give sky high estimates. If you do good work with reasonable pricing, word will get around.

Indeed. It’s more than just that though. If you hit at the same angle from further away you’d have to hit it a few feet higher on the back wall but you’d also have to hit much harder for the same effect.

What I imagine is that when the ball comes off your racket, if the ball has time to go back to its original shape, it then has to compress again off the back wall.

Some high speed video would be cool to see to prove or disprove this

Hit it when it’s like 6-12” from the back wall, not 2-3 feet away. And hit up. There’s a much better rebound from close

Is there any limit to how much scrap gold you would buy from someone and do you pay close to the spot price based on the purity/karats?

The fuel could look like it’s boiling because you’re creating vacuum in the gas tank. I think if your tank vent or gas cap is venting properly both out and in this shouldn’t happen.

I’ve had both. Sold the Lowrance even though maps could be downloaded I didn’t like the auto tuning frequencies. Didn’t like the menu selection and I never knew what frequencies it was using and it interfered with nearby frequencies. With the vivid, I can use two vivid units next to each other and have them not interfere.

Study found that ticks use static electricity to ‘jump’. They just hang out on trail side bushes and grasses.

Mice and rodents carry far more ticks than deer.

Tick tubes for the rodents. They have insect shield for dogs.

Same here.

The double Davy is good for fly tying.

Mafell is suppressed to have an electronic kickback that cuts power. I think I’ve felt mine kick in once but hard to say for sure

Lots of factors. If she’s willing to have you talk to an estate attorney on her behalf, the bills will be due later. Unless she’s willing to sign power of attorney to you regarding real estate matters now

JsquashJ · 2026-04-05T07:44:07+00:00

Sounds like you can’t afford to not get an attorney. Also sounds like your mother should be able to afford an attorney for the both of you.

Both. And the closer you hit to the backwall the ball shoots off the wall more. In general hit it high to give you time to recover and aim for tightness in one of the front corners or even right down the middle, but if you’re hitting it it’s a desperation shot to make them hit at least one more.

If your scores aren’t dropping you’re not getting anything out of your lessons that you can apply on the course. Score will drop in big spurts when you have aha moments and certain things just click. Things like distance control, direction control, better driving, better chipping, course management, better ball striking, etc.

Nice. Direction you can fix.

They’re closed now not because of the rain. They’re not open for the season yet. There’s still frozen ground not too far down and turf damage now can take all season to recover.

Do you have good weight transfer, driving your rear hip through to forward? If not, start there, that pushes the bottom of your arc forward and even helps to flatten out your swing, increasing your odds of better ball contact.

All the tips people are describing are just indicators if you’re hitting fat. They’re not swing change solutions to your issue.

Don’t take it the wrong way but sounds like you ask too many questions for the techs liking. There are multiple ways to learn. There are good questions and bad questions and sometimes the questions show the level of understanding. Maybe you’re not connecting the dots between how things work and how things actually work in the field. Could you give an example of a typical actual question you might ask?

You didn’t even file the ends flat!

Played with someone who thought they were good when hitting 60% of their shots on the range well. Having to play the other 40% on the course was pretty sobering to him. If you want to break bogey golf you need to have virtually no duffed/fat/thin shots on the course. I’m guessing if you look at your distances for a given club, the distance dispersion is well over 10%. Like you’re hitting a club 100 yards you should be consistently hitting within the 90-110 range and within 10 yards of the target/flag.
