I suppose I will have to buy the house in the mountains first.... Then

I've come across "chips" supposed to get better "MPG & Power". Built for your specific make & model of vehicle. The ads make clear they are only altering the sensor readings to 'fool' the OEM software. When looking into the installation instructions it becomes apparent that these 'chips' are IAT foolers... I rejected buying one for my daily driver... because it is 'only' an IAT fooler... and WAY over priced. Their MPG & power claims are pure horse pucky at least as far as my experience with the IAT fooler on my CTD. On the other hand, my experience with my home built IAT fooler is a gain of about 1mpg in cool to cold weather... with 410 gears. I'm c…

Picked this guy up in Twin Falls, Idaho last night. Made the girls (3,5,6) pretty happy! He is 7 weeks.

http://www.bloomberg.com/video/the-ceo-obsessed-with-making-eggs-without-chickens-pwIZGz1NRcO2hhuI3iFTAQ.html We have 26 chickens, 24 hens and 2 roosters. We are getting about one to one and a half dozen eggs a day at the moment. Hope to have all laying by spring. I like my home fresh eggs! As for the rest of you, God help you! ...its like imitation crab meat.

Where I live we have received about 10 inches of snow in the last day and a half and I have cleaned my driveway twice. Now the NWS says we are supposed to get another 18 or so inches by tomorrow evening. I am tired of moving snow already...... I don't know if this will show up here but I live right near the bottom of the yellow. Here is the link:http://www.crh.noaa.gov/wxstory.php?site=dlh After that then it is supposed to get down to about 15* BELOW zero.........

I'am BEYOND WORDS! http://www.prisonplanet.com/5-men-rush-to-save-dying-woman-as-cop-chats-on-phone.html This once again, reiterates the situation discussed earlier in rancherman's thread. Except, instead of being the victim, how would you respond to something like this as a passerby? I carry a medical bag, blankets, gloves, towstraps, some other relevant tools for emergencies. I think I may need to rethink how I could every approach such a situation like this to see if I ever could do any good for someone. I do not know the full extent of the situation, nor the immediate area, but I think kicking the truck into 4 low and hooking a tow strap up t…

Well gang... Got woke up to a fire call in Whitebird Idaho. Man what a way to get woke up. Well jumped in my clothes hauled out the door. By the time I got the gate open I heard my crew member responding in Engine 11. Dang I thought I got to get moving. So I beat feet for the fire station in hopes to catch him. Locked up tight. So on towards Riggins, ID. I'm think I got to get to Kelly's place pick him up and hit Station 4. So outside of Riggins, ID I call him on the cell phone alerting him to meet me on the street. Well I meet him and we toss on a turn outs and listen to the radio more. Fire Chief is picking up a water tender at Station 3 and I just happen to see my crew…

Look out below the temperature are going to drop to single digits for my place. That means batten down the hatches and move to the living room for sleeping area. It just too cold at those temperatures to heat the entire house so we shut down the bedrooms and the extra rooms down stairs and just heat the living room & kitchen. Take notice its going to break minimum temp records for those days. Oh man its going to be minus temps in New Meadows, ID proper... Ekkk...

OK, I think this'll be fun here!!!I'll start it off…………………………….1. Sounds like your wood is too dry2. I miss my natural gas heat3. How can I make more creosote4. I have too much wood5. Flames shooting out of your chimney are the "secondary" burn taking place6. If you keep burning pine, you'll go blindLet's keep it going guys!!

Who's had them? I'm on my second round since September. This latest one I had to have surgery to get the sucker out. Sitting here still feeling like my back has been run over

Well, Tammy WAS discharged on Saturday from our small local hospital, (12 bed chicken house) and Sunday afternoon, I took her up to a larger hospital! didn't like the looks of her thigh. It was almost 3 times the size of what 'normal' is. When she moved, I could hear gurgling swishing.Turns out, her skin actually was torn away from the connective tissue and her thigh muscle. Imagine an area just above your knee, extending to just below your hip bone...... and as wide as your leg.... totally separated from you, but still attached. Only a little hole that was formed when the skin was pulled s…

Here is my Thanksgiving Miracle. My wife and 10 year old daughter were coming back from town last evening, about a 40 mile trip, and had some blowing and patchy snow packed roads. Running up a hill, the pickup lost traction and back ended into the ditch, rolling either 1.5 or 2.5 times. I believe it was 1.5 times, but had quite a bit of air time. Both were ejected and daughter apparently was 'dropped' on the slow side of the roll. Wife had a much harsher ride, she went over the top, and had much more speed. She ended up 60 foot away from the pickup... Both got ct scans, wife got a hairline …

http://beforeitsnews.com/the-law/2013/11/man-arrested-for-trying-to-feed-himself-leaves-judge-speechless-2454082.html By Susan Duclos The video below is raw footage of Ernie Wayne Tertelgte at his “visitation” in Three Forks Justice Court, where is charged for fishing without a license, but he maintains that he belongs under natural and universal law where he is entitled to feed himself and fend for himself without some “license.” Quote: I am a “living man and have the right to forage for food.” The back and forth between Mr. Tertelgte and the judge shows how the “law” sometimes goes against everything natural and right and how this one man, fights back, speaks up a…
