They did that here. It didn't stop the borer. They'll get it eventually. No firewood was moved around here, so I don't know how it made it, but all of the ash trees are dead.

How do you keep the leaves from blowing away?

Move out of town and teach your dogs how to protect your garden. I live in deer country but my German Shepherd keeps deer, groundhogs and coons away from the garden.

Obviously no hose to get tangled in equipment. Battery powered gun works out in the field, not tied to a compressor.

All we have around here are harmless garter snakes like the one pictured. They do reduce the mouse population.

One of my concerns when putting a steel roof on my house about 5 years ago was the noise when raining. Apparently I have enough insulation in the attic because it is not much different than the previous asphalt shingles.

Park it in the barn.

I got an idea, we could just open the border so millions more people can contribute more carbon dioxide. Oh, we already did that. This world is not and never will be fair, that's why there are locks on your doors.

All the flat land is covered with solar panels.

Them Chinese sure know how to make them cheap, don't they.

This one's for Arly. I've been to the museum at Whitefish Point.

CD's are over 5% now.

You are a youngster.

You're shopping at the wrong grocery store.

It looks like you have 14 acres. I assume there is some reason you can't grow a garden on your own land. I've found that it doesn't take long for the weeds to get away from you. I may only be able to weed for 1/2 hour some mornings before it gets hot, but I try to avoid sweat and like the early...

NIMB40.

That kind of reminds me of my mom. She's 89 yoa and still living on 40 acres. I'm too far away to mow her 3 acres of lawn. I do manage to keep her mower going. It's kind of hard to do since she can't see so good and has run into trees. She is in relatively good health though and gets around...

I guess you're special. When is the last day to file taxes in 2023? April 18 was the federal tax deadline for individuals and small businesses in 2023. It was the due date for paying taxes you still owe on income earned in 2022 and the last day to submit your tax return if you didn’t file an...

I paid less for an electric diverter valve and you can put the switch on the joystick for easy activation from Summit Hydraulics. I'm glad I bought my grapple when I did. I believe the price has doubled as everything else has except my pension.

My cat's share the barn with the horses for some protection and reproduce at about the same rate that they disappear.

Might bring a generator to charge your ev as a backup.

This might help you. https://www.agrisupply.com/disc-blades/c/9900099/

Nice wood duck nest.

I've got one of those, but it splashed diesel out through that vented fuel gauge so bad that I removed the vented gauge and plumbed it with a cap. No fuel splashing out now. I just wheel the full tank out of my truck and into the front end bucket on my tractor and into my barn.

$60,000 would be about 25 years of my electric bills. My co-op doesn't pay much for excess electric going back to the grid. It's not viable here. I won't be around long enough to make it work. There's almost 20,000 acres of farmland going into solar nearby, so my electric bill should go down...

I am amazed when I hear about somebody that leaves an expensive piece of equipment outside exposed to the elements. The only time my tractors get rained on is when I'm headed to the barn to put it away. I remember when I was a kid, if I didn't put my bicycle in the barn at night, my dad would...

The best way to help this struggling planet is to eliminate half of the human population. Will you be a volunteer?

I've got corn and bean fields for neighbors here. I think they look better than solar panels and they suck up carbon dioxide.

Inflation provides more taxable income. The gment needs inflation to feed their increasing budget deficit. I would be happy to deflate to 2020.

Wow at 81 you would think he could retire and skip the smartphone.

It's all about the money. Follow the money.

He forgot. It was 20 years ago.

I think I got it. A bird.

The mower pictured is a finishing mower vs a bush hog type mower that the op was inquiring about.

Supply and demand doesn't work so good when money is printed with no regard for increasing the money supply that decreases the value of a dollar and results in our current inflation.

I know a guy that's working at the solar farm under construction here that is supposed to power 275,000 homes and generate approximately 1.6GWdc. I told him that I'm looking forward to lower electric rates from all that free energy and he laughed.

You can stick with your opinions, we'll stick with the facts.

So I guess it wasn't farmland. No ag acres going out of production.

None here in northern Indiana. Wife just bought some sugar.

A farmer without a tractor.

Wouldn't a clam digger be a contractor then unless he owns the land where the clams are found?

I believe the USDA and IRS calls him a farmer.

Our Ponderosa closed in 2020. The building was torn down and there's a Culver's there now.

So you now have to pay $200,00 taxes? How is that a plus?

My mom used to put this in her stain. https://www.amazon.com/Outlast-NBS30-Release-Repellent-Additive/dp/B006X259WI?th=1

You must have some tough bees if they're going into Oak. Never heard of that. Have you tried any pesticide like the one below? https://www.amdro.com/all-products/carpenter-bee-ant-termite-killer-concentrate

Just drop some gas in the charging port. It could be an explosive experience.

Don't think I'll ever put one of those on my tractor.

Calcium Chloride is a salt and will increase corrosion/rust as will any salt. Because it is a salt, calcium chloride in water is an electrolytic solution. Exposing materials to an aqueous solution containing calcium chloride increases the likelihood and the rate of corrosion.

I put one of these on my tractor. It works for me. It sounds like your hydraulics may not be up to running 3 functions at one time anyway...

Our 17 year old Blue Heeler went to a better place yesterday. She was one of the toughest dogs I've ever seen. She never backed down from a fight and would go right back after a cow after being kicked about 5 feet. Our German Shepherd, twice her size, knew never to tangle with her. She would...

Is that for a cat.1 or cat. 2 hitch?

There's a few crooks out there installing solar panels. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2023/04/10/vision-solar-panel-lawsuit/11600307002/

From my experience, the Prosecutor has the most powerful office in the county. I've never seen a Coroner do anything other than call the Funeral Home or a medical examiner. A Coroner can't file any criminal charges. A Prosecutor can really spoil somebody's day when the get an Arrest Warrant...

I have a cedar sided house and found that if I have a good solid color stain on the cedar, the bees will not touch it. I don't even bother with the traps, I just keep everything important stained.

The Sheriff had nothing to do with this. The buck stops at the Mishawaka Police Chief who had a conflict since he was a friend of the Lt. The video makes it hard to sweep it under the rug, but they can try.

Wow are those containers made out of gold?

Don't forget Gary, IN. Make sure you're off the street after dark and wear your body armor.

Not a substantial consequence for what he did. He should have been dropped to patrolman along with a suspension. He definitely should not be a supervisor.

I remember the bailouts of 2020 resulting in runaway inflation. Thank you very much. My pension is losing value rapidly. I didn't get a govt. paid vacation and worked through the "pandemic".

I don't see tractor/ag equipment dealers dying anytime soon. Too much specialized ag equipment to purchase/maintain.

I guess we need to make some changes then. “The current administration and the EPA are proposing unrealistic emissions standards to try to push the public further than they are willing to go. This plan is totally disconnected by the reality of our supply chain and energy infrastructure, and...

Attached is info regarding the country's largest solar project under construction south of where I'm at. https://gegrenewables.com/mammoth-solar/ https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/30/its-got-nasty-the-battle-to-build-the-uss-biggest-solar-power-farm

I don't see much grass.

You need to get out a little more. My 2000 F350 has manual hubs and a manual 6 speed transmission with a 7.3 powerstroke.

Our electric co-op put fiber in here. They also got assistance from the government.

Amish stores around here take only cash and they keep very busy.

Does Freecell count?

I do the same thing and my only concern is what the engine oil does when climbing that steep pile. I've been doing it for years with no problems so I guess the oil still lubricates adequately.

I guess the homeless would stand on the corner with their card reader connected to their government purchased smartphone.

What does the Budweiser do for your diabetes?

Backing a trailer is easy compared to backing a hay wagon or gravity grain wagon. you then move the steering wheel the opposite of a trailer. I remember the old Farmalls that had a hitch on the front of the tractor as it was easier to back up a wagon hitched to the front of the tractor.

One of the main characters for a while was Quint, Bert Reynolds, who was half Commanche. Matt always treated him with respect.

I like the early 30 minute Gunsmoke shows. They are recorded from OTA on my DVR.

I'm sorry. Thank goodness we're not sweating here yet.

Where you at? Could I borrow it? I'll fill the fuel tank---maybe.

All of our phone and fiber cables are buried in my county. On my property fiber, phone and electric are buried. Not many rocks in this farmland.

I talked to the guys replacing poles in front of my house and asked them if I could have about 6 of the old poles and they left them. I drug them behind my tractor back to behind my barn. They seemed happy since those were poles that they didn't have to load onto a trailer. That was about 10...

I believe my 600' is direct bury.

He told me to avoid inflation by doing without so I had to skip soap. Don't stand downwind of me.

I was told by a young active man that he gets SSI because he can't read or write. I didn't recognize any disability. I guess that's one way.

EVs are draining the grid at night.

So you're the guy that started putting one lb. of cereal in a two lb. box and still selling it at the same price. I guess you can say that's not inflation, but I consider it a scam and should be objected to.

There is no way for anyone to avoid inflation, unless they don't buy food and then they die so I guess they would not see the runaway inflation in the grocery store. Money policies created the mess we're in and it is not a simple fix to get back to the good old days of 2020.

I guess they can just park their car and walk 10 miles to work or not buy groceries for a couple of months. Sounds simple.

I never missed any deliveries. I did keep the front sidewalk shoveled off. It seemed a waste to use the tractor to move that small amount of snow though.

And inflation will continue to fly like an eagle.

That's kind of sad that because somebody was not responsible enough to pay for a car, they took it out on the dealer.

I went to the Dr. a week ago. Hadn't seen him in about 3 years. Their office would not take a $20 dollar bill for the co-pay. I had to use my plastic. I guess U.S. currency is beginning to be history.

I'm in northern Indiana and I haven't plowed any snow this season. All of my vehicles are able to travel through the little bit of snow we have received, so I saw no reason to waste the gold diesel fuel. We had about 6" at one time but we had no problem getting through it and it was gone in a...

Nice for long trips with cruise control on.

We've got that classic on DVD.

There's a difference in lane keeping and lane assist. Our new car has both. Lane keeping will center the vehicle in the lane while on cruise control and your hand is on the steering wheel. If it detects that your hand is not nudging the wheel, alerts will go off. Lane assist will alert you if...

Was there a pencil in your Picture? I missed it.

I don't see how inflation can ever be corrected as long as one agency tries to limit the supply of money to ease inflation and another division wants to print money like there's no tomorrow. It's the definition of insanity.

Where can you rent those? None available around here, so I spend an afternoon like the op giving my back a workout loading sticks in the Ranger and dumping them on the burn pile

Almost got 100,000 miles on her. I'm not hauling my horses as much as I used to.

It's common to mix kerosene(sometimes known as #1 fuel oil) with diesel fuel (aka #2 fuel oil) in extremely cold temps.

I thought about getting a new truck but nearly had a stroke when I saw the prices they want so I'll keep my 2000 Ford F350 7.3 powerstroke with manual tranny. I also still have a 97 F150. Both bought new. Our trucks are only used for towing or hauling, so they haven't been used much this winter...

I buy and have my tires installed at Tire Rack Good prices and professional installation. I've always gone to their headquarters for installation but they use mobile installers also.

A lot more heat out of hardwood that is readily available. Pine is considered trash wood or decorative trees around here.

Pine isn't used for firewood around here anyway.

No neighbors are better.

We'll have a lot more hard freezes. Still have snow on the ground.

Our local guy is Lowes, but I probably go to Menards more often.

I remember when I was with my grandfather when he dug up a Fox den that wasn't far from the chicken yard. He dispatched all of the pups with a shovel. My dad later came across a den of foxes and we wound up putting the pups in a kennel and they were quite tame. In fact a friend in the city took...

It's all about the money.

I've got a 56'x40'x14' and I've got two 20'x14' doors. One at each end, so I can drive through if necessary.

I saw her at Walmart yesterday.

Most of those shows are still aired daily. But you forgot the most watched "Gunsmoke".

I guess nobody carries a spare tire. Some new cars don't have one, but all of my vehicles carry a spare tire. It can be a lifesaver.

Neat trip to MT.

Do you have a link for this saw with a 28" bar? When you do, we can talk.

No hired help on our farm. I had 8 siblings. We all had jobs and most was physical labor. We raised beef cattle and didn't have a front end loader, so my 3 brothers and I were pretty good with pitchforks. When all the kids moved off the farm, parents sold it to retire.

It would be helpful to know the general location where this electric rate is at. You forgot to put a location in your profile. Is there a chance you could provide the general location where this is taking place?

Around here private driveways are better than the county roads they connect to. Paved driveways connect to half paved, half dirt roads with chuckholes that just keep getting bigger. Makes me wonder where my taxes go, I guess for new roads in town.

There used to be 2 inch wells around here also, but those are history around here. Submersible pumps are pretty much the only pumps installed now.

The FBI is too busy looking for papers. He's safe.

I thought they had a model that could be installed above ground before your tank, in my case in the basement.

How does shipping from India make cleaner air? Aren't hydrocarbons used for shipping?

We've had a 60" Charger for about 5 years. No problems. Took about a day to get used to the joystick. It's nice being able to push limbs away when mowing around bushes/trees.

This vermin was in my barn this morning. It had some kind of injury to it's head, possibly got hit by a car. Fortunately, I keep a .22 rifle in the barn and I got the coon out and sent it to a better place.

I remember when my dad combined soybeans with an open cab Gleaner and he would come home covered with black soybean dust. I always wondered how his lungs survived, but he made it to 93.

So a water bottle won't freeze in the fridge if ambient temp is 0?

It was made on a Monday.

I'm sure they got a big chunk of Covid money. Our county Health Dept. got a big Motorhome from Covid money along with a new Coroner's office/morgue. I haven't figured out why the RV was necessary.

I've got one of those pedals in my powerstroke F350. Thankfully I've never exited while it was in gear, it would put a hole in the barn wall. My newest motorcycle doesn't have a clutch lever, it has a dual clutch transmission. I have been locked out of the bike when I left the fob in the house...

I've been thinking about getting a cheap small refrigerator for my unconditioned workshop/barn that is about 300 yards from my house. Will a fridge work if it's 0F or 95F?

Anybody that would get out of a car while it is in gear does not deserve a license. I assume if she would have put the car in park it would not have locked. You can't get locked out of our car if you have the fob or the fob is inside the car. The car will lock the doors when it is traveling over...

How will you know that a coyote got the chicken if you lose one. Around here there are more predators than coyotes. I remember when I was a kid, a mink got in the chicken house and killed about 20 chickens. My grandfather shot it. We concluded the mink actually had escaped from a mink farm about...

Involuntary manslaughter if you hit one with a car.

About 1/2 hour after I put my dog in the garage last night, he started barking and I figured there were coyotes nearby. I opened the front door and immediately saw a coyote about 10 ft. outside the door. He turned around and took off. My German Shepherd would have loved the challenge of going...

There are no plastic caps. Can't get to them with needle nose. Requires a splined screwdriver. Not hard to buy one for $5.

A lot of the new saws use special screws for the High and low speed mixtures. EPA requires it. I had to buy a special splined screwdriver just to tune my newest chainsaw. I'm sure a lot of people having problems with their saws just need to adjust the carb but don't have the screwdriver...

Diesel is pushing $5 here. I try to avoid it. My diesel truck is not used much. I get almost 40 mpg with my gas car.

It kind of depends on what you want all 5 acres to look like. If you think that you won't need to mow again if you get rid of the sapling stumps, you're mistaken. If you want it to look like your front yard, you might as well do what Dude said. Other brush and saplings will find a way to start...

I would like to see your manual from 1975 that states not to use ULSD that was not available at that time.

Have you got a picture of the frostbite?

You would think somebody would have devised a way to bypass all of that BS. TG my newest tractor is a 2010.

I've got a Waterfurnace closed loop that runs through my back yard and through horse pasture. No complaints and have never used the resistance heat. Mom has an open loop with poorer water quality that causes problems if filters are not cleaned regularly. My electric company would not give a...

I use about .08/mile of fuel in our car and I didn't have to install and buy some heavy duty wiring to the garage. My concern is that there is no free market for electricity to your house, so when the prices start going up due to higher demand, there is no way to shop for cheaper home...

Back when I was young and dumb, I had to bring hay out to a field where we had cattle with an open cab tractor. I wasn't wearing the right hat when it was close to 0f with a 20 mph wind. After trouble with the tractor, I finally got out of the weather and discovered that both of my ears were...

The honeysuckle I deal with are vines. I try to find it before they get big and pull them by hand. Those look like trees.

TSC has galvanized electric fence wire that is easy to work with and won't rust. Don't try high tensile wire.

My barn isn't big enough for 25 tractors.

I haven't had the sound of silence for about 20 years when I began a life with tinnitus.

That grapple would look interesting on his little Massey.

Hey, you can dig to China on 1,000 square feet, so go for it.

10 or 12 cows makes a difference on how much water you use.

How much livestock do you have?

A few years ago, I came home from work and found the neighbor's milk cow going through my garden. Fortunately it wasn't hard to put in my horse pasture temporarily. I was able to put a lead rope on it's collar and lead it back home so they could milk it.

JD will now make money by selling the required software to work on the tractors.

Heating oil(#2 fuel oil) is the same as diesel fuel here.

I don't have the numbers but we use and like our induction cooktop. It's uses less energy. Coming to the question of whether the induction cooktop uses more electricity, No it doesn’t. An induction cooktop does not use more electricity and is far more energy-efficient than gas or electric...

It is my understanding that the pisten bully rolled into a pile of snow after the accident and I assume was not damaged, which makes this incident even more tragic and unnecessary.

You can run but you can't hide.

Probably not too many of us will be working in 50 years as well. You must be a youngster if you're thinking 50 years ahead.

Have you been to a grocery store or priced a tractor or construction project? If you haven't noticed that the dollar only buys about half of what you could buy with a dollar 5 years ago, you must be living in a cave.

I'm not a fan of sweating. I was in Houston, TX in July one year and swore I'd never go back. I've kept that promise. Anything over 85 makes me uncomfortable. Unfortunately that temp is too common here, but I'll take a little cold over heat.

Must be an invasive in VA.

I've never had cable, but if you have decent internet I would think you could get the same content plus much more by internet.

Hope she put a lot of sugar in it.

What good would that do? He lives in Canada. Around here we are required to use our 911 address. The fire truck can't find you in a box.

History has proven that Durbin and his accomplices don't care about their constituents or the economy.

My wife would have a few words for you if you told her that her horses were livestock. She considers them pets as are her dogs and cats. They have their own special homes. I've never heard of somebody bringing their horse into their house.

I've never heard of anybody around here that shut off the outside water. We use freezeless hydrants and freezeless hose bibs attached to the house. We need outside water to feed the dogs, cats and horses. We even have a heated Nelson horse waterer. We were at -10F a couple days ago and nothing...

Maybe a Therapist could help you.

That looks like a nice Christmas toy.

Not enough to get the tractor out here, but the temps are refusing to rise. We did make it to 3° this morning.

Before the blizzard or after?

I'll stick with my basement. If you can bury a storm shelter, why can't you have a basement?

We had about 3" of snow and they called it a blizzard. I remember the winter of 77/78 when we had some real snow and I just remember it being called a snow storm.

That guy on the left looks like my cousin.

See post #4.

Or the tornado could blow you away while you're running to the shelter.
