    In full disclosure— SIL bought one of those thingy’s that you put on a spotting scope that you can take pictures and it was the first time we were using it when Mr Bruiser jumped up and neither one of us could hold still to get a straight on picture— that’s the best we could do

    Got no problem with a rifle at anything less than 500 yards— but a spotting scope with a camera and time to think about it— fever’d up like a short tailed Louie

    I've had good luck with Simple Green. Used to seal off plugged mufflers and fill them with Simple Green and water. Would clean out enough carbon to actually let exhaust flow again. Then we could at least put the gensets on the load bank with less fire out the exhaust. Gensets don't like running all winter with under 10% load.

    If a regular compound bow is to hard to hold, you can always try a crossbow. Maybe not quite as much sport as a compound bow, but I flat out don’t have time to practice enough to stay good with a compound bow… If you really want to prepare for old age, there are some crossbows that have a CO2 cartridge that can pull the string for you!:D

    I use simple green for everything around here with good results. My motorcycle is only washed in a 50/50 mix though…..

    You learned the hard way. Had a coworker spray down all parts on a older model 30T NRC rotator. Lots of polished aluminum bits, especially the wing type doors made of polished aluminum diamond tread. He sprayed it down, but didn't finish washing truck. It did not get washed for hours later. Not only black, but it pitted the aluminum. Caustic is the word in the fine print. Simple green does not contain that word. We learned the hard way that day also.

    50/50 mix in a weed sprayer, hose truck and trailer down before rain storm. Not a full truck was, but it cleans things up cheap. Couple ounces in washer fluid in winter helps with brine on windshields
    And a few ounces in you work cloths helps, plus leaves washer very clean.


    If your a Batchelor you can forget all the fancy products. Simple Green with proper mixture will clean anything, and the biggest shop vac is all you really need! :D:D

    I do too. I like those places where they still actually cook fresh food. I am not a dessert person, but the homemade peach cobbler is fantastic.
