    Two of the dogs look like border collies, who are renowned for being great herders. I recall exercising my brother's dogs - a collie and a retriever; the retriever loved to run, while the collie, even while hundreds of yards ahead of me, kept checking where I was going and if she saw me take a different path, she'd round up the retriever and bring her onto my path.

      I had a border collie while growing up. We had an ok size front yard, and every time we'd let her out, she'd run repetitively a huge figure-8 pattern. She was always a great dog. Don't recall she ever actually "ran away" where we had to go find her.....

      @UmmmmmmmWhat Před rokem +2

      My old border collie had two settings... full speed, or off. If he got tired, you were sure to know, but you better not try to slow him down until then.
      People who keep working breeds like aussie shepherds, border collies, and huskies cooped up indoors in a small house / apartment most of the day are the cruel ones.
      Honestly, it amazes me Ed was able to successfully overfeed a border collie. Mine had high protein food out 24/7 and the vet still said he could use a couple more pounds on him. 😆

It’s fantastic watching the dogs in their performance on board the various rigs…

It doesn't add much weight and it is so handy. I have even operated my impact wrench off of it. Of course, the impact wrench empties the 2 1/2 gallon tank pretty fast, but it gets the job done. You guys should add one to the Banana and Morvair.

    A good way to remove those cactuses is to find a flexible/green branch that makes a Y. Use the “top” two parts of the Y branch to squeeze the cactus, then grabbing both top and bottom of “Y” branch for stability, pull the cactus off

    Had the same problem and was attacking it same way - anti-seize lubricant, vice grips, pliers, short of considering using a hacksaw. The diagonal cutters immediately were able to move the screw breaking the seized screw. Took a bit more patience to get the rest of the way. Purchased hex head replacements as well. One thing of note, the last time I changed the brakes was just after the winter season, so surprised that it was frozen. Noted that the pin had signs of heat scorching, so may have been an issue of high heat due to braking. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Greatly appreciated.
