Took the motorcycle to Walmart. About 20 miles from the house. The ride home via Vermont was close to 140 miles with a coffee stop. Got home and did not get bitched at !! Perhaps 2024 will get easier than 2023. I may or not may not get up early to plow the snow that may or may not get...

Went out to plow some snow. Pulled the tarp off the tractor and I see two red indicator lights are on. Oh, no, not a good sign. I really wish I could blame the hired help for working on the plow valve and not turning off the key ! But, I do not have any hired help !!! Oh well, put on a charger...

Wife made me toss out the Carhart after decades of use and abuse. Oil and grease stained with rips on both sleeves. Those rips most likely save me from some nasty scars. Really thought the B would have crapped out first. Oh well. The new Carhart came with some sticker shock but a lot less...

Spent the day and night at mom's after her surgery (minor). The brain detected light and I woke up thinking the sun is up and I am running late. Damn. It is the middle of the night and this area has street lights. Woke up at three other times to the same issue. Glad to be back home where if...

I know , it is buried in the forum somewhere, but to lazy to look! Long haired tree hugger... aka professional environmentalist / retired and a long haired country boy. I really tried to use the new anti-venting nozzles for gas cans. Just a bad idea or poor design. Poor flow control, gas...

Sometimes the old geezer in a 'vette' is just an uncle giving his grand-niece a cool ride around town.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Air Force has detected unsafe levels of a likely carcinogen at underground launch control centers at a Montana nuclear missile base where a striking number of men and women have reported cancer diagnoses. The rest of the world knew about PCB decades ago. It took this long...

Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do. Tore a ligament in the knee. Orthopedist orders MRI with a five day waiting list, then 3 more days for office appointment. Who knows when surgery. He put on a hinged brace and said I can do limited walking and some minor bending. He didn't say I...

Saw this on Reddit and owner was asking the best way to get the mower deck off the 3 pt. A tad of grease may have been helpful before it got this bad.

My live in grand daughter is 17 and wants kayak for the local lake. She has used a rented one and liked it. Is a starter kayak from Wall-mark or Sam's club good enough to start ? Or should I go to a sporting good store and spend closer to 600 bucks ? The $1000 and up are out of the question. I'd...

Just had a long chat with our Gen Z'er. All started with the statement that, " Life is so unfair". Gramps put down the morning coffee, pulled back the ponytail, took a deep breath, and started the insight. Went like this. Life is incredibly fair! YOU have the ability to make decisions how how...

The love of my life has passed. Peacefully, surrounded by her children and one grandchild. There was never a doubt in her mind that she would eventually be welcomed by her god and have eternal splendor. I am pretty sure she spit in the devil's eye on her way. For me, her WHEEL of life stopped. A...

Tree service used a small Kubota excavator with a grapple to take care of my huge oak. Operator grabbed a 5 foot diameter log that was cut to fit his trailer (maybe 8 - 12 foot). As he went DOWN the driveway the grapple and log went down to the gravel and the back of the excavator track was a...

Not what you thought ! Sitting on the tailgate. Background noise at 35 dB (just a few birds chirping every now and then). Turn on the blue tooth speaker and bingo 85 dB to the immigrant song. I hope I never really grow up !

Looks like the tractor transmutates to a critter at night when no one is watching, The tracks prove it.

Had a long talk with the little brother. He brought up how some of his friends knew or thought they knew of his older bro. Top 3. 1. Long hair, black leather jacket , engineer boots, and shorty helmet with a cigar and flask. A bad ass not to be messed with. 2. Long hair, tie dyed tee, and...

I am about to get a suitcase bracket for my three point. I am getting it for 10 cents on the dollar and I am expected to give an honest review. I ordered it as I can use the receiver for chain work and strap my saw and stuff on it. Works for me. I do not need suitcase weights as my little B...

Old school. No batteries. You need to now how to read it in order to get it right. How many remember these? Of course , many of use still use this.

From chuckle thread. Dawn detergent. In a past life I had notebooks that were double signed and stored in IRON mountain for mega years. I had a personal notebooks that were not signed and still stored. Then I had knowledge that was passed down and that I passed down , but , none of it was ever...
