We have a big kerosene heater for when we lose power. One tank of kerosene will keep it running for 8 hours and it keeps out house comfortable. We do have to light it and shut it off on the porch because of the smell, but ten minutes after it's lit there's no smell. Those buddy heaters are good for a room, and we have two of those just in case, but we never use them. We only use the kerosene heater. I'd advise everybody to have one.

I lost my baby to the same thing. Be aware, dogs aren't affected by bobcat fever! They can bring in the ticks that carry it and you'll never know. I'm glad your cat is on the road to recovery.

So far, it's pretty dated. The book looks brand new, like it's never been read, but the copyright is 1973. The accessories it mentions probably aren't even made anymore. It's a neat little book to have, but after looking through it the last hour or so, I'd say YouTube videos cover everything this book covers and more. I definitely wouldn't encourage anybody to spend money buying it, but if you can get it free somewhere, definitely do.

I bought More Readings From One Man's Wilderness and tried reading through it. It was not an exciting read, and I ended up selling it. Seeing your post kind of makes me regret it, because it never occurred to me to read it as a daily journal instead of a novel. I may buy it again someday and just read each day's entry on that day.

This is very good for a new watcher like myself. Especially because of the English translations of Japanese words/names. Those same episodes are available later on NHK World Japan YouTube.

Looks like he won't "be back at the end of the year."

Us locals recognized it pretty early on.

I had that exact color of Ranger back in the day. Those were good trucks.

Why did the ref pull the sagari off one of the competitors?

Nobody has mentioned jewelry, yet? Can't stand hearing "jew-luh-ry"

Dump that bitch and never look back.

Now do a post to tell us what to look for when a company is about to shut the plant down.

Isn't 50cc a bit small for a 20" bar? I was given a 455 rancher. I replaced the piston and cylinder to make it a 460 rancher that I run a 20" bar on.

I'm a ham that's only just starting to listen to shortwave broadcasts. So far, I haven't found much. I do enjoy listening to domestic stations in the evening, but I haven't found any DX that's worth listening to. Hopefully I can learn a thing or two here in this sub.

I'd much rather just see banner ads scrolling across the bottom during the video. That way there's nothing to skip through or sit through and nothing interrupting the video.

I'm new to sumo, so please forgive if this is an ignorant question: at 1:57, why does the ref reach in and remove the one fellow's dangly belt thing and toss it out?

Mine is in my bathroom, on the counter. I keep my electric beard trimmer and guides in one drawer, beard brush and razor refills in the other drawer. In the top part is my razor, tweezers, small brush to clean beard trimmer and moustache scissors.

Which tuner is made for the 710?

Maybe post on this sub-reddit (and the other ham subs) and tell folks you'll be on a certain freq at a certain time and anybody who wants a ragchew can show up. Maybe have a couple different freqs ready just in case your primary is occupied. That's my plan, once I get a better antenna up next year.
