  1. Good point..I am all about being clean as i sweat...and I like my Forman clean ... But are there any electric pressure washers that are good?
  2. Here are some of the main causes of these fires as per the US National Fire Protection Association (NFPA): Physical damage: Impacts or punctures done to the battery or the surrounding casing can break internal components and cause short circuits. Overcharging or overheating: Excess heat or excessive voltage can trigger thermal runaway. Manufacturing defects: Design flaws or contamination during production can lead to internal failures. Improper storage or handling: Storage conditions where batteries are held in extreme temperatures, near metal objects, or poorly ventilated areas can increase the risk of short circuits or thermal runaway. Battery age and wear: Over time, lithium-ion batteries’ performance degrades, and as they age, they are more likely to experience internal faults, making them more susceptible to fires.
  3. I understand and y'all are a lot smarter than I. Albeit, I am taking extra precautions on storage and maintenance of my Li ion batteries and equipment.
  4. Hillsborough County’s ( That is Tampa , Florida) solid waste department began tracking an uptick in garbage fires in 2023, when seven trucks erupted in flames and burned to a crisp. The next year, that number climbed to 10 fires. And last year, 13 trucks went up in thick, chemical smoke. In almost every case fire marshals have investigated, one tiny culprit was to blame: rechargeable batteries. They’re found in phones and laptops, lawnmowers and cars, disposable vapes and toothbrushes — even birthday cards that sing. When drivers suspect they’re carrying a “hot load,” they have to move quickly to find an unpopulated spot where they can dump the smoldering heap. Sometimes it’s a parking lot. Other times, it’s the side of the highway. In a best-case scenario, the trash is dumped before flames consume the truck. Hillsborough does not own a fleet of garbage collection trucks and instead contracts out to three companies, according to the county. Trucks can cost businesses up to $500,000 each. Across Florida, 80% of garbage truck fires are started by rechargeable batteries, said Keyna Cory, a lobbyist for the National Waste and Recycling Association’s state chapter. Cory said the total number of garbage truck fires across the state is unknown, but she said one company alone had more than 170 last year.
  5. You know I never thought much about it for Foreman or Mr Always Ready.. Geico insures my Sand Rail...liability. Good point.
  6. The wood-tar variety has been used for meat preservation, ship treatment, and such medical purposes as an anaesthetic, antiseptic, astringent. Go Figure...how did these old people know?
  7. Clean working area....impressive.
  8. Grandpa's Brother cut the tip of his thumb off. Grandpa said his mother cleaned it up but it was bleeding bad. His mom, he always called her Mother, reach up inside the fireplace and came back with a hand full of black soot. She clasp it over the boys thumb and held it tight for a few minutes. Grandpa said when she took her hand away there was only a tiny drop of blood on his black thumb.
  9. Bear Country? Damn I hate bears.
  10. Job change probably
  11. My grandpa was a kid cutting corn to shock. If you do not know what that means I am sorry. He cut his cheek with the corn cutter. My great grandma, his mother, cleaned up the cut. Then holding the skin together, she took the membrane/skin from the inside of an egg and placed it over the cut. As the membrane dried it pulled the cut together. You cannot see the cut on Grandpa’s cheek. Goooood MOrning and Happy National Egg Day June 3rd America! Us girls have a natural affinity to EGGS....LOL
  12. Kick boxing and Women's Grappling are now popular also. There is a resurgence of one on one pugilistic competition. Especially in High School sports. I can Grapple. Butt need more weight.
  13. Rico was ahead in judges points and Referee stopped fight after the Bell. Usyk is flat footed. Rico is a boxer. That being said the ring referee's decision must be respected. And a rematch will be a huge fight.
  14. Sweaty working men are attractive aren't they. Commercials with girly men with skinny waists are a turn off. I always thought Babe Ruth was hot looking! The Rematch Rico will take him. Rico is a champion Kick boxer getting knocked down is stimulating to him.
  15. I missed that fight. I will try to find replay....Thanks for the heads up! Fight call was ????. Rematch. He is a HOT looking guy when sweaty! LOL
