    What time do all you geezers get up in the morning?

    Honda Parallel Generator Operation Help

    Not sure what the parallel kit includes but you can sinc different size and make Gen sets. Basically all you are doing is getting both to run at the same rpm otherwise the faster one will try to drive the other.

    I've been driving in Alaska for 50+ years, I run Blizzak's in the winter on my truck. My wife has got Bridgestone Dualer H/T on her 4 runner and they do well but she runs in 4x4 all winter. I've gone skating on several other manufacturers winter tires. You need a soft compound tire, but that...

    Muzzleloader accuracy

    Nice rifle, I've been shooting a TC Hawken 50 for the last 40 years. 90 GR of ff Goex and a TC maxi works well on moose. I haven't shot over 200 yard with it for a number of years, still has the original sights and my old eyes ain't like they used to be.

    Anyone have a tricked out .22 pistol they hunt squirrels with.

    I use a Browning Buckmark for hare and grouse, squirrels are to small here. With my old eyes I'm going to have to put different sights on it, haven't decided on a scope or a dot.
