Ah sure that's America for you. :pac:

The only practical use for it is as a tornado shelter.
The extra space is handy though...

Interesting indeed. There a dependable weapon to be fair. They reckon that there's 1 AK for every 35people in the world. Remember short controlled bursts.

I kept knocking my earmuffs off! Tactical Glock was much easier to use, found the pistol tricky too.

That's some list to choose from. I'd have had to have had a go at the Smith and wessen 44.

It was just to fill some time! I was better grouping the shots with the Glock. Wanted the Smith&wessen too but went for the sniper instead.

I think it was around 50m. The full length of the range anyway.

Yea but you'll still hear accounts of "shur we can't predict the weather" from quarters who think that this is all an attack on the ploughing match.
They were told the day before to cancel it as there was a weather warning out and that traffic travelling to the site would be at risk. But potential lost revenue and the fact that they never experienced a storm during the ploughing before and bravado and ignorance clouded judgement.
But they were warned and actually said they'd go above this authority's head to the government if the day was cancelled on the Tuesday evening.

Hopefully lessons are learned now but somehow I doubt it.

There use to be a table for the calendar year of stock numbers for all the ages for each month to work out nitrates.

If your pressure washer heats the water, is the kerosene for the burner only or for the actual engine driving the pump?

Haven't a clue. Going to put half and half kero and diesel in it for the time being. There's only one fuel tank on it, I'd say its for the burner heating the water

If it’s just for heating water then diesel doesn’t burn as clean and clogs up the jet etc, diesel has lubricant added to keep injection pumps going, kerosene doesn’t. That’s why kids running jeeps on kerosene add vegetable oil to the tank, to give some lubrication to the mix and save the pump.

I’m presuming it’s an electric hot washer ??

I wouldn't use vegetable oil, use 10w40 as a lubricant. Sometimes when I run out of green for the farm jeep we use kerosene with oil. OH adds a coffee cup to 20 litres. It's a 98 pajero so the engine may tolerate the mix better than modern diesel engines.

Thanks to a pm from another poster my above post reads like I use the jeep for road use/work on green diesel or kerosene/lubricant oil.
The jeep hasn't been on the road, tested or taxed for 5 years and is only used on the farm for carrying meal, fencing, herding that type of thing.

We have another jeep that is used for road work and it runs on white diesel, is tested, taxed and insured. Occasionally we get stopped and dipped by C&E with the lorries so we are well aware of our legal responsibilities

Kinda graphic and frightening thread from Twitter but interesting how they used technology to track down the place where it happened.
