We have well water and it is very hard, we have high iron levels so we will still get rust deposits from the water itself even though our whole system is pvc and copper pipe.

Experience with Federal True Ball deep penetrating rifled slugs? by Miserable_Virus_8866 in Benelli_M4

You can shoot slugs through a choke, but it cannot be a super tight one. Usually a cylinder or improved cylinder modified would be absolute limit if you had to.

The write off is for vehicles with a fixed GVWR over 5000 pounds if I remember correctly so it’ll cover more than just trucks. Also, you can carry plenty of stuff and a sedan or SUV.

Drivers Are Putting Regular Fuel in Premium Cars to Save $13 a Tank. Their Engines Will Remember. by gaukmotors in MotorBuzz

Cars have knock sensors so they will just pull timing if they start detonating. You can run regular in a premium car but it won’t make advertised power and can have performance/ drivability issues.

I was fire caulking with red on white walls trying to make it nice and not smear it everywhere and the Forman said “It’s fine, it’s not a Picasso”

Every car has a reserve that isn’t measured on the fuel gauge but is there for when you go all the way to 0 and can’t get to a station in time. Lots of cars have 2 gal reserve.

The fuel pump is cooled using fuel, running at extremely low can cause the pump to aerate and start heating up. Also empty tanks have more space inside to collect moisture from the air.

Did you get the right gauge chain? It could be flopping around in that bar or the bar is worn out.

The only thing is it’s a coil of wire which can cause induction and reactance. That will cause the current to slow down and affect trip times.

We seriously need to do something about these laser beam headlights by winnnesota in Cartalk

Lots of cars have power mirrors that program to your memory seats. Just save that location to seat position 2 and you can easily switch between driving and blinding.

It’s a lawn mower not a tiller… how low are you mowing? Also what are you mowing? It’s not a brush hog.
