I read most of the book Killing the Killers by Bill O’Reilly. He doesn’t let the facts stand in the way of a good story, but he has a very easy-to-read style.
In the spirit of that .......if you think Bill O'Reilly does not know facts you may want to read a book without a single f.ing fact. I suggest you read the book one of ole Wille Brown's book rests "wrote" 🤬

Battery charger with the negative on whatever you want to clean and the hot on a chunk of scrap metal. Whatever the hot is hooked to gets eaten up so be sure it's nothing you care about. Mix a tablespoon of baking soda per gallon of water and your good to go. I run 50amps at 12v and it goes pretty quick.
Not baking soda..
soda carbonate

Bill knows his facts, but some of what he passes off as facts is not verified. But still a great author, one of my favorites. I don’t understand your last sentence.

If you think O'Reilly is full of *s-word then read those ......
After listening to a clip of one of Harris’s paragraph-length non sequiturs, I used it as a “how not to write” example in class. That probably would have earned me a pink slip had I been teaching at a public school.

Well, that was 2 days ago :p


Today...helped an older than I guy cut up some trees.
He has me beat by 10yrs :p
He got that 4' Maple down with a little Craftsman saw. Didn't exactly go where he'd planned :p no real damage though, lucky. He had cut the hinge and it spun 180. Could have taken out his workshop.

Got everything cut into rounds along with 3 other smaller trees he needed cut up.
His son in the pics...making interesting cuts, lol

I was cleaning up in front of a shop so I could get into it with a skid loader to start cleaning it out. Everything above the red screwdriver except the big sockets on the left is Snap On. The pile with the green screwdrivers is Mac and Matco. Just about everything is rusted pretty bad.

When you say “a shop,” are those tools yours?

sharpened blades & wire wheeled my zero turn deck before I left for work today. my old buffer & wire cup makes quick work of it.

I'll spray a coat of rust reformer & brush a heavy coat of rustoleum on when I get home.

I gotta bring the skidloader back up to lift the 955 deck, 450lbs vs my 198lbs ain't happening.

You or anyone you know of used SLIP plate on mower decks? Put it on mine last years winterizing and hope it stays on and sheds grass better than a repaint.

never used SLIP, but I have used EZ Slide graphite paint in the past. It worked good, but you always had to re-apply it and now I can't find it locally (sold by Tractor Supply). I went with some $12 rustoleum oil base flat black this time.

I did the TIG welding for the brake plate mod on this stunning 1600 Vulcan. The 13 mm cast aluminium butt weld pushed my machine to its 200 amp limit, and I dropped the frequency to 60. Now that it’s all assembled, he rode it over to show me—what a sweet-sounding, great-looking bike.
