    You Know You Are Old When

    I thought the new Real Id drivers license was supposed to correct any discrepancies.

    New basic EV truck

    Yeah but you got more bells and whistles and you can get rid of those cassette tapes.

    New basic EV truck

    It's electric, there is no servicing other than rotating the tires.

    Need utility Side by Side

    You said you used your ATV for yardwork and the ATV that you pictured would be a little hard on the yard.

    Need utility Side by Side

    I would think that that would be hard on the lawn. We had an ATV before getting our Polaris Ranger and one reason was that the Ranger has a differential and is better for the lawn. It can turn much shorter also due to the differential.

    You Know You Are Old When

    I recently had my first Medicare Wellness visit. The Dr. asked me to remember 3 colors and I told them what they were. After our visit, the Dr. got the paper that he wrote them down on and asked me what they were. I rattled them off. I thought about asking the Dr. if he was having short term...

    Homes… Your Thoughts… Old or New?

    Sometimes I take for granted the freedom we have here to do as we wish with our residences around here. I've never lived in a town, so I don't know what that's like. We've got about 25 acres here and our local government is not big enough to handle what you're describing. That sounds like a...

    Neat way to hide a key.

    I knew a guy that had his car stolen. He left the keys in the ignition and the doors unlocked when it was stolen. He was honest and told the Insurance claims adjuster about his unlocked car and they didn't cover his loss.

    Older Stihl getting hard to start

    My Stihl had a crack in the fuel line a few years ago. It was acting similar to yours. My saw is much older than yours though.

    How do farmers make any money?

    Another way farmers southwest of here are making money is growing solar panels. 20,000 acres in the last couple of years. You can't blame them at $1,000/acre it's hard to turn down that money. Who needs corn, soybeans or potatoes anyway. That's what was grown there previously.

    How do farmers make any money?

    For farming to be successful, the operation needs to continually grow by consuming the less efficient operations. My sister's family started out with a small dairy operation in northern WI that has grown to about 1500 milk cows. My brother in law told me that their financial planner advised them...

    New Mexico / Colorado

    My brother lives near Durango so I've been out there several times. We rented a Jeep at Silverton last trip. Don't forget about the train. I remember riding the train and Gerald Ford and his team got on for the ride to Silverton. Downtown Durango has gone downhill unless you like to smoke weed...

    Who still drives a stick in 2025?

    How do you brake with the left foot while driving a manual? I always use my right foot to brake when driving my 3 pedal F350 so I do the same when driving my 2 pedal car.

    Leasing my Land

    Around here, I've heard that typically farmland owners are satisfied if they get enough to pay the property taxes for that land. Some of the good corn growing land leases for $350/acre. That land is too good for cows though. There's a 3,500 cow dairy here and it's more practical to bring the...
