Alright, another great project to follow, sounds like you've got it figured out.
At a great time since we are getting into the boredom of winter months.
Yelp, a man can spend a great amount of money on older vehicles and still not equal a years worth of high dollar truck payments. The way I see it, if I spend three or four hundred dollars now and then on the old trucks, it's still cheaper than a thousand dollar truck payment.
Nice taters guys. Back in the day when we grew a big garden we would plant 3 to 4 rows of taters that were at least 150 feet long. Through the summer we would gravel some out of one roll and start eating them when we wanted a mess. Along about Labor Day we would dig the rest of them with a...
Not only the used market, but new vehicles, unbelievable at the prices. I saw these ferds on the net, unreal. I have seen some GM trucks in the 80,000 to 92000 range, but nothing over 100,000 yet.
Looks like their boosting the Horsepower and Torque on the so called 3.0 Liter Duramax, along with piston and other part upgrades.

All kinds of info about the rebuild kit for the Craftsman Ratchets, even some Youtube Videos where some guys rebuild them. I guess the biggest thing would be to figure out your ratchet model number and which repair kit to buy...

Looks like you should be able to swap it in for a free replacement if you can find a Craftsman dealer, i.e....ACE or Lowe's.
I wonder if the quality of the new tools is still the same as the old tools?
Yelp, all kinds of rebuild kits on the net. All boils down to can you buy a new ratchet about as cheap as a kit? Like someone else said, if that's a Craftsman, they should replace it.
Why are you talking about squash in such a manner? 😁🙂
The yellow squash I can eat a bunch of that, one of my summer favorites along with fried okra and green tomatoes.
We slice yellow squash, roll it in corn meal, drop it in a hot pan of oil, brown it. That kind of eating with some, pintos...
Just curious, you mentioned getting your S10 back on the the road. What year is it and is it a project you have been working on. I have owned a few of them over the years and still drive a 2002 model as my daily beater.
Back on topic, good luck on your fuel sump project....:)
One thing we use to do for the crow problem we would shoot 3 or 4 then hang them up by a string in nearby trees. That worked pretty good about keeping the others out until the corn got up big enough so the crows wouldn't bother it.
We also hung black trash bags up in a manner that looked like...
Crows will pull them up and eat what's left of the seeds when the plants just break through the soil. We never had any coons to bother the corn until the ears were about ready. Groundhogs would work on the ears of corn also.
