Its really amazing just how tough animals are. Today I saw a great blue heron wading among ice chunks in the creek like business as usual.

Simmons .22 Mag is an excellent rimfire scope. I don't know if they still make it, but you should be able to find a really nice one on Fleabay for 50 bux or so. I don't know how much difference it makes in the real world, but centerfire scopes usually have a 100 yard parallax and rimfire scopes...

Me too! The Ruger American Rimfire with 22" barrel and wood stock weighs as much or more than the average center-fire, I've examined them side by side. My Savage Mk. II has a rather thick wood stock and has a nice heft to it also. I don't know if Savage still offers that stock. The Mk. II...

From what I understand, CZ went to a chitty plastic rimfire magazine that doesn't last as long as the metal mags did. My best friend had an older model CZ .17 HMR heavy barrel and that thing would outshoot most center fires.

Eee, there's your problem right there. Stay away from AutoZone parts!

My vehicles all have well over 200k on them and start doing weird chit whenever the season changes, then go back to normal. I've just come to expect it. Do you recall what brand thermostat you used? That is one part where it never pays to go cheap, I've had good luck with the Napa premium...

Yep, my Ruger American .22 is more accurate than I can hold and uses common as dirt 10/22 mags. Mine wears a Williams receiver sight and green fiber optic front sight. Biggest thing I like is that this rifle looks and feels like it was designed to centerfire standards, instead of the usual...

I would think the replacement sensor should be at least close to the factory Ohm spec, otherwise the ECM couldn't work with it.

Yes, it is .357 but from what I can tell it uses the exact same frame as my .38 Special 856. The five shot .357 cylinder is a bit skinnier and longer than the six shot .38 cylinder of the 856, meaning that the barrel of the 856 is a tiny bit longer because of the shorter front to back cylinder...

I'm surprised you were able to find a published Ohm value for the O'Reilly sensor.

Nice gun but not liking the massive front sight. The first Night Guard series included a really sweet K frame .38 Special that I wanted.. In any event, my full size .38 revolvers have me well covered. I don't shoot .357 in handguns and can do without the extra weight. Also, .38 Specials usually...

I *never* get easy fixes like needing fresh fuel, so in all likelihood both saws need carb kits.

A cheap ass Fix Or Repair Daily 1998 Ranger is the best vehicle I ever owned. Slow, no air conditioning, noisy. But simple as dirt, cheap parts, good mpg. I took it places off road that would be challenging even for 4wd, I lost count of how many deer we hauled out of the woods with it. Sometimes...

The saws are kept in my garage which is always 40-50 F in the winter. They had been in the back of my truck for about 40 minutes when I went to use them.

So, dealing with 1950's electrical tech on my tractor, which is 12v -ground. Looks like my key switch is not sending 12v to the ST terminal on my solenoid when the key is in start position. It looks to me like somebody crossed the wires on the switch before I got the tractor, because I see the...
