Hi, I own a nice lemon tree and green [unripe] lemons are not limes. We have to buy limes or find a neighbor who has them.

The "shift-on-the-go" belt drive is on every ride-on tractor mower today.

Hi, belts have to be tight so as to not slip. [or be cogged] Chains provide the least resistance/friction. Belts and chains can break.

When I raced mountain bikes 10 years ago I put a new chain on every three months. But I was clocking 2000 miles of single track a year at the time. Also the rear cog got replaced every time the chain did. It wears too.

We have a nice lemon tree that spends the summer on our patio and the winter in our sun room. It has about 15 or so lemons this year. We also have an Japanese orange tree with a bumper crop. They apparently liked our hot summer. They're both about 3-4 feet tall. We have Bougainvillea, Hibiscus, Jasmine, and other plants. Susan raises Plumerias, and we have a half dozen or so from a couple feet to over 8 feet tall. That's just part of it. They all came inside a few days ago, so our sun room is pretty jammed. We have 9 parakeets in a flight cage that live in there also. It is our little tropical refuge in the cold winter.

Hi, Ken. My lemon tree has to stay outside. It's in front of my house and has lemons all year around. We bag them up and give them to family and friends so I don't have to trash too many of them. We have a few Plumerias too. The little ones in our back yard give us quite a few flowers, but the one in front next to our lemon tree [just to the right] has only given us about a dozen flowers in about ten years. we don't know why this plumeria plant doesn't want to flower.

Bob,
Those are nice looking lemons. I keep telling Susan we should move to a place where she could plant all this stuff in the yard. If I was going to take a guess, I would say that the Plumeria does not like living in the shade of the lemon tree.
Dave,
The cats at first were intrigued with the birds, put once they figured that the couldn't get them, they kind of lost interest.

Maybe it is actually the "ten British cars most likely to break down".

When I was a kid in Yonkers, NY my father had a friend with a Jag. He always said that it was garage kept. " In my mechanics garage". But I do love the styling of the
"E" Jags.

With some regret I decided to take the trees down. I was concerned about some of them from a safety standpoint, as the weather systems seem to be more severe every season.
Five loads of saw logs and lots of wood for the furnace.

I will start with a question about mature trees on my campsite which I own. Do I cut the trees down and solve the leaves, needles, gum problem, or do I live with this inconvenience to maintain the shade from an average of a month of sun/heat every year.
It takes a long time to grow a mature tree. Dave

Hi, picture number five; You didn't lose a thumb doing that did you?

I'm more worried about what he may have lost in picture #7.

Risk of robot uprising wiping out human race.
You are concerned about a minor leak????
As if weather and gas prices were not enough to worry about.
Now we have this.
Risk of robot uprising wiping out human race to be studied.
BBC News - Risk of robot uprising wiping out human race to be studied
I think that my strategy to survive this threat will be to keep moving from c/g to c/g. A moving target is always harder to eliminate. ( just look at the deficit!)

Just wear your tin foil hat and hang close to your airstream, you'll blend right in with the robots. If questioned, just tell them you know Mitt Romney.

Do robots have oil types like humans have blood types?
Can we drain them to stop importing oil?
Are we allowed to marry a robot?

Best Jag ever made was an XK-140; after that they had lots and lots of electrical and cooling problems, especially the XKE.
