Less fires = more fuel to burn for next year.

There's a couple less mansions after fire last night. Only 200 acres but it clipped a few.

California = 3rd world problems….

I say let the third world have that bankrupt diseased drug addled corrupt socialist state back. It wasn't much more than a hundred years ago that California was Mexico. They can keep it. America would net billions and billions of dollars back into our federal budget every year and quite possibly one day be federally debt free again. Base our west coast fleet all at Hawaii and we wouldn't lose any protection. America would net billions and billions of more dollars by not having to manage such a large open border anymore too. Then we really can build a border wall on land and not a river

Get the home owners insurances to quit rebuilding the burnt down houses for free basically and then people will quit building in fire prone areas

Yet CA is supposed to set the "standard" for the rest of the country. They are so advanced. Hey, the Egyptians managed to thrive in a desert 1000s of years ago.
Keep melting all of them plastic guns down and drink the molten plastic. They can drink and bathe in the urine of the homeless that are thriving.
Isn't it about time for that cesspool to burn again? Maybe a nice earthquake to finally sink that hemmeroid into the pacific.
Sad part is it really is one of the most beautiful places in the country but the people there have destroyed it, or allowed it to be destroyed.

Set the standard!??
Hey don't even try to California my Alabama!
I have family there that has begged me to move, HA, never gonna happen!

I believe it.... Cali has been dealing with their water issues the same way they have with their homeless issues.... just put it in a corner and pretend it's not there.

The technology has been available and offered to them for about 30 to 35 years but, they didn't want to invest in it. They were shown equipment that can pump pure drinking water out of a septic tank but, they've been waiting for the federal government to foot the bill, while they prefer to waste taxpayer money on illegals and homeless people.

My daughter and her family live in Carlsbad, CA in a house that's probably pushing $1M. They live on a postage stamp size lot with no grass. instead, they have poly-turf. When The Trump Admin rounded up a bunch of illegals, other ones ran back to Mexico. She and her husband were crying that Trump scared their gardener into leaving Southern Cali. I suggested Cali citizens should be spending their tax money on desalination plants, instead of welfare. She said, If we wait long enough, the feds will do it. As far as I'm concerned, they should all die of thirst.

Homeless could do yard work. They are probably good at watering plants and spreading their fertilizer without training.

about-california.com says the state has 840 miles of coastline. Hey, california, put this in your Google, "desalination plants." You're welcome. Oh, and when you decide to spend countless millions to build entire cities in A DESERT, that does not mean you are entitled to someone else's water. Only a government could produce this level of stupid...

UAE does Desalination. The biggest problem is the Energy cost.
The answer to all this and more is Nuclear.
California can barely keep the lights on anyway and then add to the fact that they have too many old hippies/Nimby's who are afraid of Nuclear power..
Yeah Cali is screwed.. I can't say that makes me sad. What will make me sad is that they will somehow make it my problem.

They have already made it your problem, all new lawn mowers , as far as I know are c.a.r.b. compliant. (California air research board) they run the engines so lean that they need a vale grind job at 300 hours . If you run them a little richer they may never need any vale work. Running air cooled engines lean makes them run way hotter than they need to be run. I can promise that my new mower isn’t going to California. Look at the labels on any new product, most are c.a.r.b. compliant. Why is that , I have to wonder?

is there a way to adjust the carb to make them a bit richer running
?

Yeah I probably owe California a little Green Karma.. I spent 5 years running around NORCAL with straight pipes.

Search for Stihl saw carb mods re this. I know there is a lot of info on that. Probably same technique was used to choke off mowers.

Alot of times they cap the fuel air screw adjustment hole. Locate it, gently use a self tapping screw to open it. Then you can access the f/a screw.

And on the Stihls it's some sort of ring over the screws--usually pulled out with drywall screws.

You may also need a special tool to adjust. That was another "protection" we were given so that only "dealers" were able to adjust them. There are kits on ebay with most of the popular head patterns tho.

Wait!!!! Oh, hell

California panel unanimously rejects proposal for plant to turn ocean water into drinking water

California officials struck down a $1.4 billion plan to build a seaside desalination plant amid a water crisis sparked by megadrought and climate change.

On cars in the late 70's and 80's that ran too lean we would drill out the main jet. It made them run much better. You just need a set of carb jet drill bits, find the bit that fits perfect in the original hole then drill it out to the next size and it should work just fine.
