We've had amr for over 20yrs. But modern technology, aka electronics, goes bad. Have to be replaced. Oh the days of the old mechanical meters. But I don't miss having to go read a thousand or so every month. Ours actually read back across the powerlines. We looked at wireless. But we have many...

I have been mtr reader for 26yrs. 2 1/2 to go 😁 Meter bases I hate the most are the ones that are a foot off the ground. Very hard on the knees and back. Several are high enough I need a ladder. All these are placed before the yard is finished. But we do have one, that when it needs replaced...

After nearly 60 years of acquiring my own tools, my Dads tools, my FnL's tools, Christmas presents, birthday presents, blah blah blah, I have an exorbarant excess of hand tools. How many 9/16" box end wrenches does one really need? I only have two hands for goodness sake. I have at least half...

I carry the basics of tools and jumpers, as well as an air chuck with a couple different male ends that can be swapped out, 2 separate plug kits, and a valve stem puller set. Then there are the extras. Blankets, food, water, enough RX for the intended trip plus a couple days, 2 9mm hole...

Welcome from the Missouri Ozarks in the USA

I found this forum today. Looked around a couple minutes and had to join. Look forward to learning how to get my garage and tools better organized, upgraded, and whatever else.....after 60yrs!! Thanks for including me.
