I'm jealous. My BB guns have always been the Daisy Red Rider variety. I sometimes use it to convince the geese to leave my pond. The most difficult part of the shot is to estimate how far above the target I need to aim. On rare occasions, I'll hit the dang thing, and it STILL won't leave! :LOL:

On the flip side, I recently rewatched the three Naked Gun movies, and I laughed my a$$ off. Maybe there's no accounting for taste. :)

As I get older, I have a harder time accepting the ridiculously portrayed shooting skills and fighting techniques in old westerns. I believe it was a Clint Eastwood movie where a bad guy is attempting to intimidate Clint. He does a quick draw and fires a "warning" shot that hits about an inch...

I also dislike having strangers from the internet come over to my place. Unless you are really desperate for money, I suspect they are not worth enough to bother with it. Even with giving them away, I would ensure that the recipient understands that you aren't attesting to the dry rot...

I also had that happen, and in my case, the problem was simple and cheap. I had regularly blown compressed air into the radiator to clean out debris, but there was still gunk that wouldn't come out. When the tractor was cool, I sprayed the radiator with a hose to clean it off better, and the...

+1 on the SleepNumber beds. With other mattresses, I've had issues where it develops a sag at butt level, and that triggers back issues for me. We've had the SleepNumbers for quite a while now, and they are still like new.

The one time that I compared price, the parts store was about the same price as ordering the original hose from Kubota with shipping. I don't need a new hose that often, and I appreciate the convenience of having a new one made while I wait.

Building the mechanics of a robot that can match or exceed human physical capabilities seems less amazing to me than the programming aspects of AI. It doesn't seem that far-fetched to have a robot that could lay bricks, shingle a roof, or do some of the disgusting and mundane work in a nursing...

And I just realized that I spelled Isaac wrong. TBN obviously needs some sort of AI helper to fix that for me. 🤪

We used to have a cat that refused to use a litter box if it already had cat poo in it. She preferred to go stink up someplace else. I don't know what made me think of that. [emoji23]

Do you know how to find the politics thread these days? https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/forums/the-back-porch.180/ I find it strange that you aren't posting there, but you insist on talking politics in other threads.

From what I've seen, medications can sometimes have a significant positive effect on the patient's quality of life. I my FIL's case, even his short-term memory is still pretty good. His first obvious symptoms were severe paranoia and delusions. He believed he had murdered and raped people. He...

It never gets any easier. If your horse was paired up with a buddy, I suggest giving him some more attention and activity for a while. We had two old horses go within a couple of weeks. The second one looked so young at heart that he seemed like he would live forever. Once his buddy was gone...

IME, the biggest variable in breaking the line is the patience of the operator. The END of the string is what does the cutting. If you take your time, the end will gradually wear down, and then you can pull out some more. If you put the head right up against what it is supposed to cut, it is...

I agree, but that wouldn't be the California way. ;) This is the land that pays people to inspect your garbage, and they will fine you for throwing away recyclable materials. If someone breaks into your car, don't bother calling the police. They won't respond to that sort of thing. 🤪
