They should ban all jet airliners then too, look at all the pollution they put in the atmosphere. Oh thats right "out of sight out of mind". Remember how clear the skies were after 911?
They should ban private ownership of jets. The ones that own them are typically the ones that are telling us how bad OUR carbon footprints are.
 
NY has a law where a landowner is liable for any damages caused from a beaver dam on their property failing. This includes washed out culverts and roadways. The damages could easily add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Ok, now that you know that. NY also has a law that prohibits landowners from removing beaver dams on their property. I love the land where I live in the Adirondack Mountains, but my disgust for the NYS government grows deeper everyday. This new wood burning law has nothing to do at all with the climate or anyone's health, just like every other law passed in the name of protecting the planet. They want us all dead and continue killing us all while telling us that they're doing it for our own health, safety and well being. I think everyone who burns wood in NY should start a campfire on their front lawn and keep it burning in protest of the new law. Let them choke on our wood smoke the same way we choke on their chemtrails.
I just like going to NY to kill things in the fall. Other than that, no desire to own anything there any more. Was going to buy this past fall but everyday, NY gets more and more a place I only want to visit.
 
The morons in this State keep on voting for Democrat Law Makers. So look what we end up with, all these restrictions!!! Restricting ATV, UTV's also I believe they are saying. I have an outside Wood Boiler, and an add-on wood stove inside my house for a back-up. Sick of these scumbags trying to tell us how to live!! Better start making our Opinions known or what is coming next!!!
 
NYS also has a new law for cars, trucks and motorcycles: They MUST have OEM exhaust on them or they can't pass inspections. If you get caught driving with loud or no mufflers the fines start at $100 and up to $1,000 All thos harleys and crotch rockets (and car and trucks) are in for some major changes
So that should put about a million HD's and crotch rockets off the roads :) win-win
 
the "loud exhaust" bill was just introduced in 2021. usually inspoections didn't bother checking if you had glass packs, or even no mufflers on a motorcycle. Now it mandatory in order to pass.
So they will put their stock exhaust on, get a sticker then go home and put the loud crap back on......the po po needs decibel meters
 
That's what the guys with self installed turbos and superchargers do in CA. Remove it, get sticker, put it back on
Stuff in CA doesn't rust. Its easy to change parts. Thats the other issue with the law. Exhaust pipes rot off all the time around here and if you want to be all stock its going to cost a fortune. Not to mention if you break one of the manifold studs off or one of the flange bolts. A nice not crazy loud aftermarket exhaust that is stainless is a really good option for a vehicle. Its another law that needed more thinking to it and it would have been a good idea. Like simply saying no straight pipes or exhaust systems above certain decibels.
 
Finally getting cold here at the cabin again. Was 24 degrees F today. I use supplemental wood heating, mostly for the beauty and warmth (also for the opportunity to cut and split firewood). I lived in Colorado for 22 years and loved it, but unfortunately the Berkeley Birkenstocks have taken it over, at least on the Eastern slope. The frontier independence is gone, replaced by those who feel the need to make others conform to their ideas and lifestyles. I would have a hard time now living anywhere but rural Red State America. You can burn wood, use loud chainsaws, and even pop off a few rounds on your property without anyone getting their undies in a wad. When I hear gunshots, I think of deer, varmints, or sighting in, not gang members.

Well, lets look at cost for a 5 year old pickup to replace the exhaust system of a def diesel truck. Parts only, not including labor. Ford, $4500, Chevy, $5500 and Dodge, is around $8000. Now add in the cost of the DEF and the reduced fuel economy for those 5 years. Makes you wonder just how much they have actually reduced CO2 emissions. Considering most of the precious metals have to be mined in South Africa, with large diesel burning machinery, and then transported across the big pond to be put on our US vehicles. Note to self, SAfrica and most of the EU countries, dont require all that junk on their cars and trucks.
 
Sounds like the Australian Covid concentration camps
New Zealand govt signed into law that police can enter homes without a warrant, the director of health can order buildings demolished and people can be detained. All because of this 'pandemic'.
 
Watch out, you will have swat teams raiding homes and property's for their firewood and chainsaws next......

Unfortunately, the morons voting for the democrats probably don't burn wood as most don't own firearms and the democrats do own this state. I don't see this changing. I only see it getting worse.

The emission on diesel trucks has killed the efficiency and life of the engines. I see so many guys running 90s and older dump trucks and semi trucks around here because they are dependable for a million miles. It won't be long before NY conforms to the trucking laws of CA creating a "supply chain" issue.

Seen my share of NY cars down here (not just NY, but northern states) one was so bad the brake lines had completely rusted through. It came into the shop with no brakes, and they wanted us to replace the brake lines. We couldn't even get the bolts loose without snaping them. So, we just re-routed new line right beside the old lines, then just pulled them off.

I don't understand the firearm thing. I have guns not locked up in places around the house to use them for whatever I want to use them for. The kids see them and don't touch them. They have been around the house before the kids were born. Make them visible in every day life and they are not a fancy new toy for kids to play with. Teach them how to shoot and respect and handle a gun. Guns are like tools, any one could go to one of my many tool boxes and grab a tool or power tool and kill someone, I don't get the "scary threatening" part about a gun.
 
You better watch that the insurance companies decide not to insure you with wood stoves older than a certain year. And it’s not like one or two companies will do this. It will be all of them. Change insurance companies up here and they want photos and information on age of shingles, furnace, HWT, plumbing and electrical. They won’t cover shingles if they are over a certain age and it’s less than the warranty period on them.

Whats not to understand? We have a whole bunch of people that have decided to treat firearms like toys and post to youtube. Add a bunch of idiots that decide to play call of duty in their local school and stir with the "mainstream media and you have an ever increasing number of people that don't view them as tools and do view them as a threat. The solution? Heck if I know. One step is to try to educate and inform people that firearms are tools and not toys.

Idk I still think if you don't lock them up and put them on a pedestal they are less appealing to kids. No one is going to the garage and grabbing the framing nailer, x27, chainsaws, hilti gun, and so on to kill people. I grew up in the same town and went to the same school as Timothy McVey and have yet to make a bomb or blow up a building and I too hate this government. Stop banning stuff and start educating kids in school about real life. There's no power or money in that so it won't happen.

Where in Colorado were you living? I have 35 acres right outside the city limits of Loveland and I can do all those things you mentioned.
