    Alkylate fuels

    OK, this question is probably beating a very very dead horse, but I'm pretty ignorant on this subject so maybe you guys can shed some light on it for me. I've been looking at a thread on ArbTalk about Aspen alkylated fuel, and have heard Magnus mention it a few times. It sounds like there are...

    cheap stainless steel

    I bought a cheap stainless steel water kettle a few days ago and discovered that it gives the boiled water a horrible metallic/chemical smell and taste. I've tried boiling vinegar a couple times and baking soda couple times and the smell/taste has improved slightly but the taint is still there...

    Seeking spikes!

    Well I'm back in New Mexico for the summer and was getting my climbing gear ready to go back to work tomorrow and discovered that I left my spikes in Hong Kong. Now, generally I always forget to pack something, but usually it's not a $300+ piece of climbing kit. :whine: So, I'm wondering if...

    Cutting EHS cable

    I'm curious what tools people are using to cut 3/8" EHS cable. What works well and what doesn't work well? Actually, I already know some things that don't work so well, which is why I'm asking...:|:

    What was your first car?

    Inspired by a thread in the elders, and our national obsession with automobiles... Mine was a 1984 Buick Electra Estate Wagon. Man, that thing was sweet: crushed velvet seats, power everything, monstrous, and drove like a Cadillac. Some lady took a left on red and ran me off the road. I...

    Makita 6401 with big bore upgrade

    What do ya'll think about this? Does anyone know where Bailey's gets their big bore kits from? I seem to recall some complaints about them. It sure seems like a good deal for an 84cc saw...

    Orchard ladders

    I have a friend who needs to buy an orchard ladder. He asked me if I have any recommendations, but I don't know poop about orchard ladders. Does anyone know of any suppliers or manufacturers that they would recommend/unrecommend?

    Plugged tank vent?

    Howdy folks, I have a problem with my Husky 359. I think it's a plugged tank vent but I wanted some confirmation from the experts before replacing it, because getting at the tank vent on this saw is a serious pain. Symptoms: Saw runs fine for little while (~5-10 min) but then suddenly will...

    Anybody use Marvin poles?

    I've always used Jameson poles wherever I've worked and been really happy with them. However, now that I'm in equipment buying mode for myself I'm trying to economize. The best looking (cheapest) polesaw/pruner head combo I can find is at Bailey's...

    I'm Back!

    Howdy all, It's been a long time since I visited the forums so I figured it was time to drop by and say hello again. I see a lot of the same faces here and some new ones too. Good to see the Treehouse is still rolling along. I just got back to the States from another six month stint in Hong...

    Truck Buying Advice

    I need a little help from you more mechanically minded folks. I'll be spending about ten days in San Diego visiting family when I return to the States and during that time I want to purchase a good used truck that I will drive out to New Mexico and use as a work truck there. My main criteria...

    So, what did ya'll eat for breakfast this morning?

    I'm always looking for good easy breakfast options. I tend to eat the same thing every day until I'm totally sick of it and then switch to something else. Right now breakfast is usually a bowl of oatmeal with a big dollop of crunchy peanut butter mixed in, a banana, and if I'm still hungry...
