Will a 2 stroke auger be alright not running it out of gas every night after use? Because I am not going to do that. Started building my fence today I got two posts out of 45 set I am halfway there (I am using 8-12 foot 6x6 and having to do it myself)

the spyder posted:Are you talking 1 post a week or one post a month? Either way, it should be fine. I never run equipment completely out until I'm getting ready to store it longer then ~3 months. I will be doing hopefully 5-10 posts a week just nights after work (out of town next couple of weekends). I am using ethanol free 40:1 tru-fuel. The manual says run it out after use but I can't/won't do that. Will be used at least weekly until fence done then I don't care if it ever runs again (need it to last maybe 2-3 months max)

angryrobots posted:It will be fine, especially with tru fuel. ITs just the $250 auger with 8" wide bit that lowes sells (got it for $200) instructions explicitly say burn all the fuel each day. So I started with that in mind but couldn't get it to crank with just a 1/4 tank it said fill tank completely. Started right up after that. Like I said if I can get these 45 posts set with it I'm happy. Super bonus if it still running good after and I can sell it for $150. No cutoff or drain.

Last fence I built was when I was 15 or so and helped my dad with a post hole digger and I can still feel that special sort of chest muscle pain. I am thoroughly exhausted enough after just this initial try. But do remember I am having to dig down 18-36 inches and setting 6x6 posts sondont think too bad of me!

Although the soil here is mostly sand so no biggie except when you run into rocks. I can't imagine hitting a good sized rock with an auger that's gotta suck.

I have a business now and have to pay a yearly tax on THINGS I OWN. Like the value of your desk and your laptop and your file cabinets. Now for my tiny business this is a super low tax (I pay like $20-30) but I find this the most insane thing I can think of.

I am hesitant to post this, as I can see it can be looked at multiple ways. But yesterday in Nashville on a 4 lane road (5 if you count turning lane) wife and I approach a funeral procession on opposite side (oncoming). Police and highway patrol were not involved but beat to hell 20 year old Caprices with purple flashing lights. We slowed to under 5 miles an hour and I saw 5-10 cars slowly get in right lane and proceed at sub 5 mph. Now it is a custom in TN amd one I respect to stop for funerals. But we were in (or I was in) a rush and so I in the left lane approach at sub 5 mph and when I get to the front where this "patrol car" is I start sliding to the right and this jackass tatted head to toe rent a cop wannabe jumps in front of my car and won't let me pass on oncomi side! I motion for him to get the gently caress out of the way and he flags the other two cars and they come and box me in! Sirens wailing purple lights flashing. He is yelling get out of the car and please remember these are 20!year old shitbixes with their transport company logos crudely painted on the side. Without saying anything else about what I think or feel what do y'all think about this situation? I am open to criticism if you think I was in the wrong.

Am trying to objectively look at it from all sides. My wife was furious at me for not complying with the rent a cops demands. Please anyone comment good or bad. Was I in the wrong? There is no law or requirement I stop for funeral but it is a practice here.

Kazinsal posted:Is it legal to have flashing lights and sirens on a private vehicle on public roads in TN? I know in a lot of places it's not. No they were purple light bars legal if not blue or red as far as I know. This was a company that apparently exists for purposes such as funerals but being from Nashville first time I have ever seen these poo poo boxes. I do feel like I was illegally detained. I did not get out of car. They took off like 2 minutes later. I don't have plates but have the company name memorized.

I am just pissed. Shaking with rage while it happened thankful I kept it contained during it as in my old age I've learned some things aren't worth it. My wife now admits I was right and what they did was illegal. Will sleep on whether or not is worth my time or life to bother with it as I am happy and blessed but man I am so loving mad.

angryrobots posted:You certainly don't have to comply with these idiot rent a cops, and I would absolutely report their actions. I'd have done it immediately so it would surely bite them in the rear end. Why I was hesitant to post, and I am a respectful person. But this was a 4/5 lane road (technically it's a highway but considered a road by locals). Again 5-10 cars went to right lane and slipped by respectfully at 5 mph. I tried to do same don't know what provoked outrage other than I had to get a little closer to the start because one car did stop right lane? And I looked it up there is no law preventing me from blowing past at speed limit (which is 50) but I would never do that.

Until I buy my dream car. 2nd nicest car I've ever owned, 2nd most expensive, waited years to find the right one, and within the first month I get hit. Oh and special rare color so replacement panels are impossible to find without paintwork. Would be very interested in you documenting the debt pulling. Going with a paintless expert or trying it yourself?

Enourmo posted:I dunno, it's weird. While it was running the other day it suddenly started making a loud buzzing noise (which it makes if I try to spin the blades with the power turned on) and coasted to a stop. If I touch the housing I can feel it vibrating, so the motor's trying to do something. Spins quiet when it's switched off so it's not bearings or anything. It is getting power, go buy a new $30-50 fan and save yourself trouble. Googling or ebay you can find $15 off 50 lowes coupons all day long just FYI

So far I have set 13 8 foot 6x6 posts all by myself and feeling a little accomplished. This covers the main point of egress for the kids as the rest of the yard has a natural brush/tree fence line. I'm going to start building the actual fence and gate part I think so we can have a "closed" yard for the kids playing outside this summer and resume post setting after this section done. Sure mistakes were made and some posts are not laser aligned down to the millimeter but I feel pretty good just having used a tape measure, a level and my eyes.

Real talk on solar, at least it has trickled down enough that I have a few friends living the sailboat life that have managed to turn a few hundred bucks of Chinese solar junk into viable off shore power sources. And they seem to like it from their blog and social media posts. I think anyone who makes their own car company is cool but I foresee a lot more deaths with the whole self driving stuff, it's just not there yet. I don't care enough about Elon or anyone else to comment more except I wish I was rich.

rdb posted:Wait till you see the price toyota dealers ask for parts. Your best bet is to just resign yourself to letting it deteriorate and then paying your insurance deductible and getting it fixed before you sell it. I have a low deductible and full coverage on this paid off car would they fix the paint fuckup too? I'm not used to dealing with insurance for something we're at fault for. I'm just thinking about finding a tail light and realigning and popping out bumper best I can.

I have progressive, I am way overinsured 3 vehicles paid off all have full coverage with 50-500 deductible (highest for new car). Should I use insurance or am I loving myself? I can pay anything out of pocket but why do I pay 1200 a year insurance? Or do I just say gently caress it leave it wrecked.

Right now I think I'm just gonna get a tail light off a wrecked one for $200 take the back bumper off, get around to installing this hitch I have for it, pop the bumper out and just deal with knowing I can't live the nice things lifestyle. I'll continue to drive my 15 year old station wagon that I keep squeaky clean. Sigh. Thanks for everyone's input seriously.

Maksimus54 posted:I want to chirp back up as one of the people who said it happens. I did not mean to put your car down. I drive a boring new Forester. It's the first new car I've ever bought, and a week into ownership my wife scraped the back bumper. And the kid spilled milk, several times, all over. And the wife has a makeup stain on the vanity mirror. And I've stopped tracking it anymore. It's the family car and poo poo's gonna happen when you're maneuvering groceries and a kid, or just backing out of a busy parking lot. I I'm not pissed, tbh I'm just a little sad and sick over a 5 month old car already looking like this. My main thought right now is WHY DO I PAY ALL THIS loving INSURANCE? am I an idiot for having full coverage with low deductibles when I don't even use it? I like Progressive they paid off happily when stuff not my fault happened in the past but poo poo. I don't know I'm not pissed just wish the car could stay nice. I use my station wagon as a car hauler and a truck and it looks better than this newborn Prius. I don't have a point just barf.
