Absolutely useless facts about you nobody cares about

The part of the forum where the silliest things happen. Conversations that sound like they belong here, will be moved here. Maybe.

You're supposed to put on weight in Autumn.

Do you happen to have an opinion on the HF Predator engines?

No, but I'll tell you about their frickenfracken winch, if you want.

They look like Briggs & Stratton knockoffs. Other than that, I have no idea.

My grandson is an AM for HF. I'll ask him about return rates and get the inside poop.

I've never owned one, but I know there are whole go kart racing series built around them, with lots of aftermarket go-fast goodies sold for them so I suppose they're pretty solid. It's like that little one cylinder engine that Honda made back in the 70's that's been copied millions of times on Chinese bikes. So simple you can carry all the tools in your pocket that you need to rebuild them.

The grandson is in a high volume store and sells them often. Recent purchase returns are rare, customers often claim to be repeat buyers and brag about how much abuse they take (the engine, not the customer).

I'm going camping next week. Tent camping. I haven't slept in a tent in 25 years. In fact I gave my tents to my kids back in KC, so I had to buy a new one. Cleared a spot out back to set it up for a dry run this evening and it started raining. If there's anything more uncomfortable than tent camping, it's packing a wet tent so I quickly shoved everything back in the back while it was only a sprinkle. Then it stopped raining. My mood was already soured so I'll try again tomorrow. Maybe.

Just performed an emergency possum removal from my daughter’s garage. He knocked the garage door sensor off and it wouldn’t close. In the process the thing peed all over the place.
