When I was down South a saw came up for sale on my local FB sale group. Since I was out of town I didn't bother contacting the seller. Was looking through the ads and it was still up so I contacted the seller and bought it. Had my friend pick it up for me since I am in isolation until the 20th of December. Paid the dude via EMT. All went great and I now have a saw I've wanted for quite a few years. We had one back East in our work shops of a few houses and I missed having one as they are very useful for cabinet making. OH, and the price? $100!!!! Great deal. ;D3 points

I used my dad's one when I built this back in the 90's. Along with a ton of other tools of course. Made from rough cut lumber I got off my buddy that was a logger.3 points

That’s also true for peanut butter too, in many cases. Sufficient clinical trials haven’t been completed for the younger age group. It was necessary to run the initial trial and observe the results in people of consenting age first just in case there were problems. A long term is the only thing that can lead to that knowledge, unfortunately. Many people will opt for taking the vaccine despite this, in the hopes of getting past many restrictions like not being able to visit precious family members that live in other households, or towns, or provinces, or countries. They will opt for it based on their personal risk versus reward assessment. Everyone is free to make their own assessment and act accordingly. For me personally, I don’t see it as a choice between taking a vaccine, or not taking a vaccine. Rather, I see it as a choice between: 1) taking a new vaccine or 2) risking infection from a potentially deadly virus each time I shop or do other essential things, and not being able to do many non-essential things I would really like to do again such as socializing with relatives and friends in person, or eating out at a restaurant with delicious food, or traveling.2 points

"Detailed data from the vaccine's trials showed potential allergic reactions in 0.63% of those who received the vaccine, compared with 0.51% of those who received the placebo. Reviewers from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration called this a “slight numerical imbalance.”" 🧐 both people had a history of experiencing severe allergic reactions and carry epi pens with them. They also both recovered.2 points

Finished the 2020 fishing season at home mostly isolating and sick with "muskie fever!" September & October generally make up my year for big ski opportunities and I certainly look forward to each fall for any and every chance at chasing them. Building on past experiences, researching, experimenting, persistence and keeping up your confidence are many of the things one needs to do in order to improve with any species, but muskies certainly take that up a level. Anyways, this morning found time to put together a quick photo recap on my site. If interested... Click on title "Mooskie Lockdown" below. MOOSKIE LOCKDOWN Thanks for reading.. Bunk.1 point

Any weld on aluminum cleaned and welded correctly should take an hour. If you are looking for cheap then the best way to get your money's worth is to go local and not spend the extra time driving for a "deal". Hope this helps Art1 point

I wanna see a CT with a truck camper in the back or a 5th wheel with my Lund attached drive up Hwy 17 and see how far it makes it before I need to stop for 45mins and recharge, lol. I think the CT is a wet dream and it's going to be more of a status symbol then anything else. It will make trips to Home Depot to pick up curtains. You're not going to see this thing on job sites or anywhere that requires a 'real' truck. This is all just one persons opinion, so take that with a grain of salt. The thing is electric motors aren't anything new, how long have bow and transom mount TM's been around for? Do people think Tesla is the first to think of an electric outboard?1 point

I checked and yes, you can pre-order a Tesla Cybertruck for $150 😆 I think I put more down when I ordered a new MacBook Pro for my daughter. I bet they kept that price so low because when they finally tell you what the cost will be for the truck 80% of the people will back out of the deal and ask for their deposit.......errr....$150 back. In all seriousness there are some great EV's out there but I just do not think they will displace pickups or SUV's as our primary vehicle in the near future. Electric boats.....not in the foreseeable future and electric planes not until another battery technology becomes affordable. I would not get in a plane that has a 30min range and a 30min reserve 🤔1 point

I'm sure that one day electric boats will be the standard, but that day is still a long ways off. Torqeedo makes an 80 hp equivalent electric outboard which you can buy right now. It costs €39,000, or around $60,000 Canadian. Fortunately it comes with the two batteries needed to run it, which weigh approx. 300 pounds apiece. Per Torqeedo's website, maximum range on a full charge is around 12 hours, but that's based on running at 4 mph. At full throttle, it runs out of juice in 25 - 30 minutes. That's based on summer temperatures, by the way. As with all batteries, performance falls off in colder conditions. That Torqeedo motor has been on the market for six years now, so it's not like the price will drop once it gets out there. Boats are not like cars, the volumes required to drive prices down simply do not exist in the marine industry. And because pushing a boat through water takes a lot more energy than it does to roll a car on wheels, performance comparisons to automotive are just not valid. As far as marinas go, I can't see any of them eating the cost of installing charging stations until there is steady, consistent demand for it.1 point
