One day you are a nurse in private life and the next day you are an officer nurse in the military. The pathway to wearing a 2nd Lieutenants bar in the Nursing Corp is more involved than that. Army nurses do not attend traditional basic training like enlisted soldiers; instead, they attend a...

I have been in, out of and around the farming community all my life. I also know a awful lot of farmers. Most small dirt farmers are retiring the plow. Tobacco and Cotton used to be the go to cash money crops. The demand for these are down. A lot of farmers that used to plant tobacco or cotton...

Most of the US Military Branches recruit on the desired MOS. Then once they get you and subject you to a battery of test they place you in the MOS where they think you would be better satisfied and qualified. The Military places the individual they do not let the individual place themselves...

If a Farmer is making less than the Federal Minimum Wage in 2025 they better be filing out the papers requesting monetary assistance. If you work at a 40 hour a week job making the minimum wage, and you work every day you will work 2080 hours in a year. $7.75 x 2080 will give you a gross annual...

The Federal minimum wage is $7.75. Now think about this. Federal or State Minimum wage? "The federal minimum wage has never been set at $7.75. It's been at $7.25 per hour since July 24, 2009. This is the longest period without a nationwide increase since the minimum wage was established in 1938."

Some do, some don’t.

The difference between a farmer and a 9-5 worker is as a farmer one can write of all associated costs of producing the product. The 9-5 person has to absorb the added cost, gas, food, parking fees, etc. they cannot write it off.

I hope it has a good set of step to climb up into cab.

I don’t know about maintaining. That monster must cost a fortune. Then the implements prices would probably start nose bleeding by just looking at the price.

I have a ballast box i use when I think the item I am going to pick up exceeds 150 pounds. One will be surprised how quickly weight on the forks on a tractor will raise the rear wheels off the ground. Take pulling T-Post up for example. Hook a chain to one and start trying to lift and the rear...

At 180 miles an hour a person is covering 5 tenths of a mile a second. On a motorcycle traveling at that speed one is 1 second away from becoming a greasy spot on a solid object. How far do you travel in 1 second at 180 mph? “This is a conversion of units from 180 mi/h to mi/s. Since only the...

Nice photos of the Buck Brothers. I haven’t seen the herd that hangs out at my place lately. Saw a lot of tracks around the house after the 3 inches of snow we had. So they must be moving when I am sleeping.

If the fuel light is illuminating when cranking and you have 12-15 PSI fuel pressure and squirting raw gas into the engine and it starts makes it sound like the throttle body is bad. That is not a cheap repair.

The Russians and Chinese have been busy lately.

A expensive purchase. A high GPM and Horsepower Skid Steer purchase alone would give one sleepless nights. Adding a Mulching Head coupled with maintenance cost would drive one to start drinking.

I had a Nephew that lived in Seattle. He loved it. To many people and people noise for me. I really liked the Public Transportation system though.

Probably because it rains so much in Washington State it would be hard to get dry gravel. :D

Was the post about a paving contractor getting a visit from the EPA?

Okay so you didn’t like what I was typing so instead of changing wording you deleted the entire post, okay.

Wet gravel is heavy. Gravel is also delivered by ton weight. When you buy wet gravel you are also buying water at the price charged for gravel.

Most railroad ties are 7"x9'. If me I would use 10 foot 6"x8". I don't think you would be able to paint over or stain the treated railroad ties.

Good post. The first time I saw one of those in operation the operator was wearing what looked like a space suit. The blow back mud would cover him and they would periodically hose him off to cool him down and wash the mud off.

They don’t contain sulfur because they are a substitute for sulfur which the refinery removed to reduce pollution.

When Uncle Sam jerked me out of civilian life in 1962 to go visit a foreign land E-1 pay was a handsome $78.00 before deductions per month. Today a E-1 earns $1,695 per month. Quite a difference. Quite a difference in combat pay also $55.00 in Vietnam, $225.00 now. I passed a couple of these...

California is one of the 38 States without Estate Taxes. NC is also in the 38 States without Estate Taxes. The Federal law on Estate Taxes starts after 13.6 million. A married couple can stretch the 13.6 million Federal Estate Tax limit to 27 million with the proper estate structuring.

Start by checking the fluids, engine oil, water. Then check the radiator for blockage. My guess is after you find where the dip stick is you will find the oil is low.

You should hear a click if 12 volts are going to the PTO. The clicking sound is a electro magnetic field being created to create a magnetic field to engage the the PTO locking the pulley so when it spins, it will rotate the belt which in turn will rotate the blades on the mower if the belt is of...

Me too.

No problem with me. You purchased it. You paid for it. You maintain it. This gives you the right to do with it what you want to. That is why Howard Johnson's used to sell 26 different flavors of Ice Cream. Every one could get the flavor they wanted.

I don't have a degree in Chemical Engineering so I rely on the information provided by the people who manufacture and make diesel fuel, the Refineries and they say, Sulfur, which is a chemical element, is what gives petroleum diesel its lubricating properties.

Older engines are not immune to damage caused by modern day ULSD because they are old. Neither will running the home heating diesel or off road diesel in the vehicle prevent damage. "Under Sulphur in Diesel Fuel Regulations (SOR/2002-254), the sulfur content of diesel fuel produced or imported...

"Then our company removed and pulled out all the deficient wiring they had installed. We had our people re-do that part of the job, and install everything, brand new, correctly. At our expense." From your post it sounds like the General Contractor Employee who was supposed to monitor the Sub...

He is probably being proactive. Diesel today is low Sulphur. Sulphur is what was added to diesel to lubricated the diesel pump. I add two ounce of Power Service in the white bottle and 5-6 ounces of Marvel Mystery oil to every five gallons of diesel. I have experienced no problems with the four...

Hard to believe someone would build something that big and tall and no mention of a elevator(s).

The picture you posted shows a steel pipe on the left side with a shiny end that looks about the size the coiled hose. The area also shows what looks like oil that has been leaded out in this area.

Electrical wire contains three wires.1. White-2.Black 3. Bare Wire or Green wire. When using electrical wire to wire a wall receptacle one places the black wire on the brass screw, the white wire of the shiny screw and the bare or green wire on the brass neutral safety screw. One then connects...

The provided photo show the hot lead on the right, the ground on the left. (This is also a 20 amp rated industrial receptacle identified by the T slot on the left) The ground side of a wall receptacle is also the larger of the two female receptacles on the wall plug in receptacle. The bottom...

You have: 1. Reality - The Business is still open. 2. Fantasy- The Business is closed.

When I was building my present home, I prepaid for a lot of materials and this saved me money. Pre paying for Heating and Air, light refracting UV deflecting double insulated windows and a double insulated atrium door in the den saved me a ton of money. As a word of caution before prepaying for...

True What you say is true. But don't forget companies operate with a bare bones number of employees today. Money, operating capital has to also be spent to purchase the expensive steel since the tariffs were added. So you have operating capital, labor manhours etc in a product now setting on...

Ted Corriher is what is referred to as old money. His father pioneered the internet sales of small tractors. He had package deals on Ford/New Holland. He would sell the tractor and implements loaded on a trailer. Or bring your own trailer and a truck and take the package home. When Ted's father...

The pay up front became common place as more and more people did not come back for the product they ordered and the dealer had to either stock a part not needed but once every 4-5 years or return it to the distributor and pay a restocking fee. Let me share a personal experience with this. I...

From the provided photo it looks like the mower was the primary ignition source. I bet the fire investigator was interested.

One has to also wonder if the (USA CROWD), Us Sue All crowd had anything to do with Hertz's decision. I have never seen a hand controlled electric motor vehicle has anyone else???? According to some, the 20,000 projected sale of electric vehicles would represent 1/3rd of Hertz's Electric Fleet...

It has long been paid for and is used as a GO-FOR (Gopher) truck. For what it is used for I can buy a little gas and endure the 18MPG. Fertilizer for lawn once a year, monthly garbage hauling and gas and diesel fuel hauling. It would be expensive to upgrade to something newer or new just do do...

I have a 4 cylinder 2001 ford ranger I use as my gopher truck. No AC. Does have power steering and is a automatic 5 speed vehicle. I drive on country roads with it and it rarely sees a speed of 55 mph. The heaviest load it ever carries is a five gallon can of gas and a five gallon can of diesel...

The FEDS loaning banks money at 0.015 percent drove interest rates on CD's into the basement. Example from 2017 through 2021 a $100,000 dollar CD earned interest at 0.015%. This princely sum earned one $15.00 a year or $1.25 dollars per month. Millions of people receive "Earned Income Checks"...

And all that while driving in the stop, crawl along traffic on a California freeway. Okay if you say so. https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2001_toyota_corolla.shtml

There are worlds of difference between an opinion based on experience, knowledge and technical expertise and a opinion based on nothing but a belief and knowledge received through propaganda.

I have owned a lot of motor vehicle in my life time. I have never had one that even came close to 30 MPG much less 47 mpg. Of course the vehicles I owned had doors, windows, heaters and then later air conditioning. Now some of the old bicycles with a two stroke gas helper engine probably got 47...

Depends on who you are, the propaganda machine behind you and the extremes you are willing to go to, to game the system.

Hate to spoil your fun but I think the point he was making was sometimes and in some instances old technology is better suited than new technology. A horse is much better than a car or truck for traveling on a muddy dirt road. I can remember in my youth people using a team or horses to pull a...

Same as this. Goods and materials in America are delivered by trucks and van. We use cars for personal/personnel conveyance.

At my age I will never own a electric vehicle. My point was self explanatory. The Post distorted the infrastructure law’s rule on impaired driving technology

Yep we saw it on TV so it is true. Come on give me a break.

Nope you saw a News Article and read something into it that was not there. "OnStar can provide your stolen vehicle's location to police. Remote Ignition Block™ can prevent a thief from restarting." That is a know vehicle where the police provided the owners name, address, serial number of the...

So sad and Pennsylvania is the home of the Liberty Bell.
