  ‘21 850 made it 12,404 miles

  That's awesome.  Machine owes you nothing now and you have a near new machine outside of the few things left you haven't yet maintained.  Jealous of your mileage!!

  I’ve already put a new track on it, maintenance is done regularly on bearings, chain case, clutches, shocks, anything it needs.  If winter would cooperate, could easily see 20k in two more normal years.

  Warranty ... that's freaking awesome!  It'll be interesting to see what you end up with for overall mileage on that thing when you finally retire it!

  Official diagnosis:  PTO bearing failure.  Crank up rebuild including pistons, cylinders, etc for the warranty deductible of $50.  Should be done early next week.

  China is killing it.

  By Matt · Posted 1 hour ago

  Where China is going to kick our asses is in the drone tech space.  There are AI-piloted drone jets already that can whip a human dog fighter 10 out of 10 times.  And China can absolutely flood the sky with them like swarms of locusts.  There isn't a carrier defense capability out there that can stop 10,000 drones each carrying high explosives and flying at wave top height.  Drone tech is to carriers what carriers were to battleships.  Would be better to build massive drone-support subs than surface vessels.
