I was 2 out 3 vehicles behind one that not only had the hood pop up but went flying off over the bank without hitting anyone fortunately. LOL, the driver of that vehicle just kept on driving.

I saw them twice at the Spectrum in Philly. The second time was on New Years Eve. Best concert that I ever sttended.

I have been thinking about getting a small lithium powered router so I stopped by HF yesterday. I was looking at upgrading to the Herculies line starting with a charger and battery for 100 bucks with the router being free but the router was not in stock. I decided to stick with the Bauer line by...

Saw my first bird this am here in south central KY. Right around the usual date.

When the CDL replaced my "chauffeur's" license in the mid eighties, I had gone back to school and was working in high tech. Thought that I had my last job so I did not bother. Fast forward to 2003 when the plant closed, around 4000 or so people went looking for new jobs. The commute to find...

When you "bump" ~20 docks a day, you better get good or else your on the wrong business.

Getting back on topic, I recently rotated the tires on my van that had been "gorilla'd" on. My air gun would not break the lugs loose. I do carry the Bauer 1/2" drive impact gun to make removing the 8 lugs easier but instead of digging that gun out, I grabbed my 3/8th Bauer gun. Surprise! That...

Around 25 years ago, an acquaintance in PA had a fairly large horse barn built by a Mennonite builder. The township had given it's blessing on the location only to have an adjacent land owner complain. He was right, the township was wrong but they made our friend move the barn. The builder...

Not quite as impressive as the barn move but still neat; today I saw a pole barn raised about six feet. An Amish shed builder had bought a small brick home with about a 30x60 or so pole barn on a main road and has been using the place for a sales office while their operation is elsewhere...

About 25 years ago, we were having a dry summer. My wife and i came home to find two buffalo in the yard. Somewhere, i have photos of them drinking out of a birdbath. While we did not know the owner, we knew of him so we drove over to his place. His daughter came out to let us know that he was...

I don't recall how cold Jan 23 was here but we saw temps down to minus 5 this past Jan. During Jan 23, I used 4,167 watts where as this past Jan 24, I used 3103 with the overall cost being 332.98 or 10.7 cents. Reading what some pay, I feel a bit better.

I set myself up for a backup by my approach so that my wagon and tow vehicle are straight as I can get it prior to reversing. For me, it's easier to use a tow vehicle with mirrors than the drawbar on a tractor where I have to twist my body around to see where I am going. Like others have...

A friend went with the Panoptic lenses then went home and bailed hay. All that money and he has had a lot of problems. I "opted" for distance after a lifetime of near sightedness. I had no line safety glasses with no side shield made up. I may not be able to find fly dung in a jar of pepper...

Way back when, i bought a corded Milwaukee hammer drill with a keyless chuck. First time using it, I had to wonder who was dumber, me or Milwaukee? I changed it out to a used keyed chuck which held up until the motor died.

Thought that I would add to this thread rather than to start a new one with this little sugestion. I tarped a load of hay the other day to keep the"slop" from melting snow from soaking it. I strapped the tarp and hay down on a criss-cross pattern using one of my J-hook straps that I did not...
