AKA "Jungle Jim" loaders. Have to crawl over the back to get into the driver seat. lol

My mother finally passed away at 92 and we buried her today. She was doing very well for that age and no real health problems but, her organs were just worn out the doc said. They started failing and she went downhill very fast over about two weeks until she slept all the time. She still had...

Why does this cow have something stuck up his butt while being branded? Enlighten me please. :confused2:

:eek: I was removing the firewood that sat on the back porch for the last month. It had gotten warm and no longer needed to have close by. It was only a few pieces. It's all a covered area. I picked up some on the ground that had slid under the wood steps and yikes! Bumble bees started...

...to realize that I am actually retired and don't have to rush to finish a project. I was thinking, on the last nite I worked, about how we have "muscle memory" from doing a repeated task. We don't really even have to think about it to perform it. I got to wondering if we have "work memory"...

I just turned 62 today. Already filed for SS for me and the red head, that's all finished. I am retiring from my job June 1. So, I will have already worked 5 months for this year. Boss wants me to fill in occasionally because I am a grade 4 certified water plant operator (highest rating...

My wife unit (red head) went to Tampa, Fl a couple of weeks ago, to visit our youngest boy (30). She evidently went through one of "Toll Roads", got a bill from them for $6.53 . Just curious as to who actually builds the toll toads? Just interested if public money is used or not. Back in...

Did those countries have U.S. styled health care with an insurance company before changing over to one health care they have now? I realize it was years ago this happened, but just curious as to what happened to the insurance companies? They just went away? What would happen to the insurance...

Are the new shower manifolds (where the hot/cold water is mixed and turn handles to get it out) some kind of low flow stuff? I replaced the old manifold when I put in a new tub, the new "Caulk-less snap together type unit". The flow is just ridiculously slower than before. Of course the spousal...

:mad: Was finishing up smoothing over a place where I had a water line break back in Jan. and went to turn and the left front wheel rubbed up against a soft dirt edge. Sort of like a deep rut that a logging truck might leave behind. All of sudden all the air leaked out of that tire. Whoops...

Well, I can't hear out of my right ear anymore. Been too many infections in that ear. usually 2-4 a year. The Eustachian tube never formed right (too small) and backs up when I have allergies or a cold. I try to keep that side "Popped open" and it will drain then. I saw an article a few...

I need to add some weight, maybe around 200 lbs or so) onto the back of my 6' box blade. My L2501 won't have any trouble with it. When the driveway is a little dry and I need to scrape it, it won't dig in very well. I also scrape my oldest son's drive across from me and he stands on the back...

...have these great/brilliant ideas...but, we are the one's that have to do all the "fun" part of getting it done? :D My red head just up and decides that "We" are going to move some of her flowers/bushes to another area. OK, get out the phd on the kubota and dig said holes in "Just the right...

I've read several threads about how to do it. Using a heavy chain looped through the blade bolt holes and a bottle jack seems to do the trick. I am confused about how to put the bottle jack in the chain for applying pressure. Does the base of the jack need to be held by the chain? Then jack...

Well, I hoisted the used 5' bush hog that I got a couple of months ago. Everything ran well but I noticed the thing started vibrating a lot. Out of balance. I stopped and looked and two of the four bolts that hold the gear box had got lost. I put it up and planned to fix when I had time...
