    Anyone else have an unusually large number of hummingbirds this year?

    My wife puts out 4 feeders and has to fill them twice a day, sometimes more with the heat we have had lately. There are a couple birds that start buzzing the kitchen window when the feeders get low and I have seen them practically drink from the feeder before she can hang them up.

    You Know You Are Old When

    Well I say either way you find the pellet is much preferred to receiving the pellet directly from the source... from personal experience, it smarts.

    I could have cut a hole and welded it back easily enough but I did not want to be cutting on the new bed I had put on it. I do know if it EVER need to be changed again while I own it someone else will be doing it. I have a LONG list of design screw ups (being polite) that should REQUIRE the...

    Mine helps me, most of the time I ask for her help to speed something up or does it? The other day I had to drop the fuel tank out of the ton flatbed to replace the fuel pump. I will say I would probably STILL be fighting to get the tank back in if she had not offered to help. But what gets me...

    Dog pics

    When we were traveling quite a lot I think at one point SWMBO had 3 different pet strollers. The pup had no problem with any of them, it was finding one SHE liked. I still remember him stretched out in one watching Old Faithful and the expression on peoples faces when they REALIZED it was a dog...

    Thinking about a 9n.

    NO it is not a problem, an ORC (over run clutch) freewheels the PTO when you stop the tractor. IMHO no tractor should be without one even those with live PTO's

    Ford 801 SOS rear axle

    Not missing a thing, it should come out just as the right side did. Just need to get mean with it.

    What is it with all the distracted driver lately.

    There are a LOT of people driving on the roads that should not be and as aggravation and as much as it would be a PIA I think everyone should be required to pass the driving test at renewal instead of just walking in an laying yer money down. Also cell phones should be required to NOT receive...

    Sometimes I will ask mine a question and tell her up front all I want is a simple yes or no, if a dialog starts I simply say "I accept that as a no". After 50+ years I think, THINK, maybe she is finally figuring it out.

    Starlink

    When I came in the house yesterday and it was down first thing I did was power down the Starlink and restart it. Since I am using it as a pass though I went to my router and it was showing an internet connection... just no surf. So I figured it was the router, replaced it with my backup unit...

    An old guy I worked with got divorced and his line was: The problem with women is they control 50% of the money and 100% of the p___, if man ever figures out how to get control of that there will he11 to pay.

    Alamo Flail mower roller hex end

    I did not, my shaft had round rounds with a key way. The machine shop fabricated the ends when they made the new roller for me. If you have ordered the end piece from Flail Masters, there is no need to find center on the roller. The repair piece will have a step down machined on it to fit the...

    Alamo Flail mower roller hex end

    No it is not, but if he wants someone to do it for him he should seek out a machine shop that works on driveshafts. When I had to have my roller repaired I took it to a driveshaft repair shop but had them make up a complete new roller since the old one had been damaged by the PO and would have...
