    Cab in Canada

    Check out Brad Gray welding, just north of Bathurst. Builds custom cabs. He built mine for my 2370. Guy is an artist. Pm me for his email if you are interested.

    What Have I Done?

    Different but related. Last evening as we were enjoying a lovely dinner herself suggested that I should get a new tractor. Huh, wuzzat, as I reached for my iPad to check the Kabota site. Questions followed. I have a three-year-old 2370 in perfect condition set up exactly as I like it with a...

    150 hp Duc

    Loved the comment about Italian ex wife. Pretty much describes feeling when I think about my Multistrada 1100. Great bike, rolling red sex, but the R1200RT is more my style now.

    The only addition to Skeet's methodology is to add a big honking cigar. :)

    Sound Deadening

    Our server room at work was so loud we had to use hearing protection. Went to a local music shop and bought the same stuff they use in their composing room. It looks like black foam egg carton. Adhesive back so we cut to size and placed on walls. From memory it was obscenely expensive and ugly...

    Daily Chuckle

    The old lady in the pack has it figured out. She is 13. Have a nice meal, go outside for a good dump, come in and snarl at the youngsters to remind them she is still boss and find a soft spot to lay her head. Wise she is.

    growing pumpkins

    Many years ago when I had a young back we had a 1/2 acre kitchen garden and as mentioned above left the between row areas as grass. Mowed it with self propelled walk mower. Grass clippings blew under plants and made good mulch. At end of season rows were covered by composted goat manure. The...

    Driving tractor long distance

    Around here, and I live on an island that is agriculture based, you live on the edge on the roads. It is getting worse. I don't know if it is me or changing driving habits but I am seriously considering selling my bikes as I have had three near death experiences this summer.

    making pellets

    Back problems - 30 years and counting and everyone has their own particular witchcraft to help plus everyone is different. May I suggest you research DMSO and come to your own conclusion. I started using 14 days ago and so far a life changer.

    Knife making

    Thanks guys. Vrat -nice! Skeets, Walter Sorrell is the master for sure. I have a few blade blanks on the way which will get me started. On advice on one site, I tried first effort with a $5 novelty blade and .05 of 1/2 ply to make mistakes on cheap stuff. It was good fun. Almost looking forward...

    Knife making

    Thank you sir. :). Free time I will have. Dec 31 is my last day of work and now in 70th year it is time. Currently have 5 day weekends so sliding into leisure slowly. This is what started interest. Roto tiller kicked it out of garden and decided to try to restore it. A work in process.
