I like mine with a thick crust so when I get the dough in the pan I partially prebake it before dressing it. I like a mix of cheese, jalapeno jack, Balderson extra old cheddar, parmesan and Mozzarella. My own roasted peppers, local double smoked kielbasa, sauteed mushrooms, hot pepper rings...

I guess. I've got plenty ditches and shrubs etc. Guess Massey just lucky.

It's still too cold and wet here in Kanuckistan's banana belt. After today 4 days of rain and cooler temps. predicted. OH F'N joy.

What is your secret guys? I've had my 2310 for almost 18 years, mostly for mowing, and never had that issue. My newer 1725 I have yet to engage the mower and the mower sits in the barn. I looked it over and don't see it being any more prone to losing a wheel than the old one. Major difference...

Calf is veal. What is a baby dear other than tender?

I came home from a weekend of debauchery in high school to find out the girl I had spent the weekend with, her mother had called my mother. As my mother was reading me the riot act my father, a concentration camp survivor, all around tough guy that nobody dared mess with is standing behind her...

I see it everyday. But I do live by the canal.:rolleyes:

Sure! Why not? The Royal family is a bunch of inbred F ups. At least Diana got some fresh DNA into the family with who ever Harry's dad is.;) The Chinese were run by the British forever and a day. How bad is that?

Clarkson is just a gas addled windbag. I can see why he would be popular in Merica.:rolleyes:

If the tires are low and sides bulging I add some air until they "stand up." I've never used a gauge. You can tell if you got it right by the tread pattern the tires leave in the field. Just remember not to over do it. I've been on tractors for close to 60 years. Before that on my daddies lap...

I won't tolerate a truck that goes around humping other trucks.:mad:

Mmm, tasty.

60F was optimistic this morning. It's after 2PM now and we've barely reached 51-2F and weather is saying that's the high point for today. Rain has stopped for a few short times but is back at it right now and until tomorrow morning. "it's raining, it's pouring, the old man (ME) is snoring..."

Depends :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Yeah, yeah! Sure, sure! If you said it, it's already happening. Mr. drippy pants.:ROFLMAO:

Little after 7 in the AM Thursday. GOOD MORING TBN! It rained almost steadily yesterday, not a monsoon, but a range of heavy shower to steady drizzle until aboot 11PM. It took a short rest and was at it again after aboot 2 AM. Predicted to continue most of the day and tomorrow. Also really cool...

You peaked.🧐

I'm feeling old today. Never got as far as warming up the tractor. Didn't feel like getting down to get at the drain plug and filter. The oil isn't really that old anyways...

Closing in on 7:30 in the AM. GOOD MORNING TBN! We're still stuck in April like weather, for us anyways. Morning low in the high 30s F and if we get lucky maybe, just maybe, 60F late in the day. Prediction is high probability of rain for the next 3-4 days and staying coolish. We did have a...

Nope! I dislike thongs.

Kinda fishy, the size of that bulge.:oops:

Few years back my sump pump failed during the early spring thaw. I was in a rush to replace it before the water started to invade the basement and my hands were frozen working with things in the ice cold water. I installed the pump without the foot valve with the intent of doing it at a later...

The coyotes have pretty much displaced the foxes around here. Foxes are one of the critters that I would never do away with.

When you and El Prsidente of Merican isn't much older than you.

Can someone just shoot the f'ng racoon?:unsure:

The acre+ I put in every year never last that long. By September the Finches and others have pretty much stripped them all. I mow the stalks because there isn't much left and this gives the ground feeders a chance to get a little something. The first time planting sunflowers 30 years ago the...

Peaches around here have barely come out of their shuck.

Old neighbour used to feed 30-40 feral cats. His place was a minefield ;) Anyways he put the dry cat food out in a 2 foot across old garbage can lid. The cats would come and sit around this "dish" which was on a concrete patio. His son, ever the troublemaker/sh-t disturber decided to have some...

Recipe for fun: 1)As many racoons as you can get in a small area. 2) 2-5 lb of Tannerite. 3) detonation device 4) video camera. 5) beer. Quantity dependant on number of on lookers. Rocky go BOOM!😲

When I put in transplants I water in with plant starter. Once they get underway I water them with Bullsh-t Tea. I put some good composted manure in a 50 gallon barrel and let it sit a day or two before side dressing all the plants with it.

Cheapest diesel I can find locally converted to US gallons in US dollars is $3.40. Gas is aboot $3.55.

Even though I reached age of majority in the 1970s and cars were beginning to suck we still had lots of fun. R&R matured in the 70s. A lot of great music. Still plenty of 60s V8s running around that could be had for a song. If we only knew what some would be worth now. You could buy a house, I...

If she was old enough it might have been dust scented with a little talcum.

They're old enough they're farting themselves and don't even realise it.:poop:

At the old farm I had a local chicken farmer bring 150-200 tons of manure several times a year. Late one summer it was very hot, 90s everyday, and he started trucking. The manure was full of dead chickens that had succumbed to the heat. I thought this is going to smell double strong. Wrong. The...

People get raises and think they're getting ahead. People selling them stuff raise their prices to be able to pay for those raises. All that happens in the end is the decimal point moves over. What is putting people behind now is how much more stuff they think they need. First time I went with...

I'm beginning to regret the Condo. The "old" people are starting to come after me like enraged Terriers on a 3 legged Pussycat. Guy comes to my door and complains aboot my parking. We have 2 spots, one underground and another outside. We go down to where I'm parked. I couldn't be better...

I remember as a kid my father shot a huge Garbage Panda in the chicken shack. He was eating eggs. Fortunately he hadn't killed any chickens. He threw it on the brush pile and burned it the next day. When he told the Native guy he worked with what had happened the guy was so disappointed. He...

Minimum wage in my area of Kanuckistan in 1990 was $6.89/hr. Today it is $17.60. So aboot right. If you're willing to pay close to $4 for a package of frozen mac and cheese you deserve to get gouged.

friends in Toronto live next door to a couple who feed the local Garbage Pandas. There is so much poop in the backyard their kids can't even play on their swing set. You can't tell the neighbors a thing.

They out number people in some hoods. Just shoot the little destroyer.

He's blind to anything that's not pumpkin orange.:cool:

Glad to know this has helped you age gracefully. 🧐

Must be pretty tough to tilt the 50gal cube into the tractor.:oops:

It's bigger than the 20L.;) Got them at Kanuckistan Tire.

Eat more carrots.:ROFLMAO:

At least he didn't molest you as a kid.(y):LOL:

My first GC2310 is 18 years old and my 1725 is almost 3 years old. I've never needed to use the lights. What kind of midnight rendezvous are you guys going on that requires that much lighting?

How old are you guys? Really? I have the larger jugs, 25L, and have no problems lifting them up for fueling. Oh yeah! The new MF2607 are fueled from ground level. I made a small stand the jug sits on and all I have to do is tilt the jug into the large funnel.

APOCALLYPSE LAST NIGHT. I got up around 4AM for a pee and I heard them. The local wind machines in the vineyards were running. The closest to me is more than a mile away yet it still sounds like a helicopter in the backyard. Any Vietnam vets would be having PTSD flash backs. For those...

The birds peck the heck out of my cherries and grapes. They even find my strawberries and ruin the nicest ones. I don't even play the corn game. By the time the kernels form up the crows gat at them. Around here I can get corn sometimes as low as $0.10 a cob. Even this week it's 0.33 and we're...

You plant it and they will come. Believe me, I know. My acre plus of sunflowers is always swarming with goldfinches. You might want to think twice aboot planting close to berries and grapes unless you intend them for the birds to.

Exactly what I did doing the same thing. Reacted quick enough to reverse the process. As long as it stays a learning experience all is good.(y)

Today I worked up the ground for the sunflower patch. A good acre. Disked one way twice, once across and then again the original direction. Usually this activity brings out swarms of birds. Today couple Robins, 3-4 blackbirds and a pair of Cow Birds. I like watching them as they jockey for the...

Way back a girl friend accepted a promotion to manger. Real good money compared to the hourly people. What she didn't realise was she was on salary and not paid overtime. With the extra hours most weeks, especially around holidays, and responsibilities she was making less hourly than an entry...

Forget income taxes. My property tax is more quarterly than I made in my first full year working.

YKYO when the 1st house I bought was a 3 bedroom brick bungalow with double garage on a large lot in a nice hood cost less than an entry level SUV. I was 21 and friends thought I was nuts taking on that much debt while still in school. It was paid off in less than 5 years.

give me Irish McCalla any day.

You're going to just finger IT? :love:

Just a bit older for me. Used to be a customer that came to the farm for fruit and veg that he sold at his market. He drove a van like the UPS trucks. The walls were papered with centerfolds. I always would help him load up. My eyes got a good workout trying to stare but not make it too...

The older machines were built in Japan. The newer ones I believe are from Indonesia. Cheap labor, cheap results.

Is your name Karen?

The Troy-bilt I had already had reverse built in. The lever you push down to engage the belt that drives it forward also acts as reverse. You lift it UP until the 2 pulleys come in contact and that will reverse your machine. During reversing the belt doesn't come into play. It is the direct...

My condo closed yesterday. I'm going to keep the land property for now. Condo has floor to ceiling windows overlooking the lake. We had a thunderstorm around 6PM that was cool to watch over the water. 6-7 ships out on the lake waiting to go through the canal. On a sunny day can see all the way...

My Masseys hit 540 on the PTO at aboot 1750-1800 rpm. Different engines might reach 540 at different rpms because of design and torque curves. Old school Massey Perkin's engines were long stroke and ran at lower RPMs for 540 on the PTO. John Deeres tended to be short stroke and ran at higher...

I plant an acre plus of sunflowers each year mostly for esthetic reasons. When the seed starts to mature I have Goldfinches by the hundred swarming along with other birds. At the end of the season I mow the field and you should see the panic as the buffet is finished for the year. The birds...

In Kanuckistan we had 2 Christmas catalogues to wait for. Sears and we had Eaton's. As a younger fella it was the Christmas toy section that came first. The naughty portion wasn't that important. I was more interested in playing with the toys than with the scantily clad women. Believe me...

10:30ish At 50F all day with cloud and piddly rain all day. House keeping and cooking day I guess. Even though it's not so nice I'm going to sit on the front stope and have a tea now. This has been such a non week. Hopefully next week picks up. Maybe pet a wet pus-y if the neighbor's comes over...

My cats entrance was through a basement window that was converted into a cat door. I knew I had to deal with some mangled animal when he'd come up the basement stairs and meow. It was different than his usually pet me, feed me meow. It was guttural and deep. It might be a baby bunny, snake...

Slow start today, closing in on 10AM. Predicted potential for a record warm day for the date. Could hit 75F. Cooling off for the next number of days only making upper 40s and mid 50sF. I sort of feel like I'm running in deep mud the last while. Not getting much of anything done. This late in...

Double smoked bacon BLT with a touch of mayo, pepper and salt. Couple cups of tea.

9ish in the AM. I was up until after 2AM watching Secondhand Lions with Robert Duval. Some how I had missed it and stumbled upon it last night. It was OK but it had potential to be excellent. Still kept me up. Now the neighbor calls and wakes me at the crack of 8:30. People got no...

Looks so much like my Lilly did.

I had 4 from the same litter of 6. Terrier, Chihuahua mix. They had things figured out. If I was going out I'm fed up. Everytime I try to complete this entry It either can't be posted or only partially. This isn't the only one over the last week or so.

In the way back machine we had a neighbor who only did maintenance when something broke down. He had, at that time, a fairly new MF135 gas tractor. The abuse that little machine endured. One time driving by his place he was standing by the tractor at the end of his vineyard rows. He was...

I live right on the edge of the Welland Canal. You aren't missing much. Mostly old iron chugging along with the occasional salty. Every once in a while you get one that's smoking and stinks up the area. Pain in the rump when the bridges are up and you're in a rush to get somewhere. Like the...

Almost 9AM. Late getting up. Missed recycle truck. I heard him at 7:30 as I rolled over. Oh well. Brekky undecided. Maybe just oatmeal and a couple boiled eggs. Somehow today is starting like one of those get nothing done days. Care for your fellow man even if you're straight.

Until it was updated mid 70s my parents house had 60A service. You didn't cook, use the hot water, and do laundry at the same time.

I kinda meant like blue balls. Haha?

I did buy some lottery tickets. NOTHING! Wonder if I can return them? They were defective.☹️ In the commercials it shows everyone wins and moves to the Riviera or somewhere else fancy.

They haven't been used in a long time.:love:

Nothing. It's harder to do than you would think.

In Niagara Falls?:unsure:

Egg salad on toast with heirloom tomato slices, hot tea and thinking aboot finishing the poppyseed roll I got at the delli the other day.

He'll become a new movie superhero and make millions.;) Super Cyclops to rescue the world.

Rapidly closing in on 8AM. Still only at the freezing point but full sun. If it goes well we will see 50F. Good enough to get into some outdoor work that's been put off for weeks with our confused weather this spring. Probably approaching a 100 Kanuckistan Geese in the area where I plant...

At the old farm we had a back neighbor who grew grapes for ice wine. They had to be netted until they froze or there would be nothing left. When I used to take the Muttley gang for walks I'd go through the vineyard and release birds that had gotten hung up in the meshing. When my Italian...

Robins are so destructive to gardens and farmers yet city people love them. When I was farming I had a good size acreage of dessert grapes. Robins would take up residence and go to destroying. Cost many of them their tail feathers.

Apricots that tend to bloom the earliest have been frosted a number of times the last 6-7 years. Same with Japanese plums. A couple springs they were in full bloom and covered in wet snow. Peaches and nectarines have done well.

It's noon here in Kanuckistan's banana belt. 99% cloud cover, haven't broken 40F and, small as it is, possible light snow to go with some rain. If on schedule garden planting is still 5+ weeks away.

Walked past it, said hello Elly.

What was broken. Windshield? Sorry, I had to go there. Enjoy your coffee brake.:coffee::LOL:

The crap weather is actually doing me a favor. I won't bring Petunia out until the roads are dry and free of winter grit+++. It's hard not to go for a drive when it's warm and dry. Very little of that this year. Spring has been more a date on the calendar than in practice.

Couple weeks ago I bought 2 packs of everbearing strawberry plants. I put them in small pots to grow them on before planting in 3rd week of May. The one variety came out 100% and most already had blossoms that I removed. The other variety only about 60% grew and only aboot half look vigorous...

Are you in prison or something. BORING!🤨

It was supposed to be their last day today at the former TSC known as Peavey Mart. They've been extended a week to try and get rid of more inventory. It's really picked over though. But I found the last pair of shoes in my size behind some others on a bottom shelf. Nice walking shoes marked at...

I knew a guy who bought a new tractor years ago, 40+. Big by our local orchard machines at the time, 100hp. Started and ran great but put it under load and power dropped off. It sounded like it was starved for fuel. The more throttle you gave it the worse it got. He took it to the dealer. They...

OK. No soup either.:cry:

I kind of rotate what's on hand and the regular. If I have left over pizza and wings I'll heat them up in the air fryer. Chinese food is good cold, same with spaghetti with a meat sauce. Today I had a bacon, cheese, egg and tomato sandwich on toast. A western is common. Egg salad sandwich...

No pie for you?

If I needed it for a parts volunteer I'd give you ... $40 Kanuckistan money. But not before seeing it up close.

GOOD MORNING TRUMPISTAN! Here in my little slice of Kanuckistan it's aboot freezing and going up to mid50s+. Supposedly sunny too. A nice change from what we have been experiencing. Heavy layer of frost starting out the morning. We had fog and high humidity which I guess froze sometime towards...

OK there brown noser. :poop:

When I was in High School around that time I took a drafting class. Once we were taught the basics of drafting we were to design and draft our dream house. Almost to the person everyone had a sunken living room. I always thought they were dumb.

Getting close to 8AM. Our crappy spring rolls on. Trying to be foggy but mostly just really damp uncomfortable around 36F. Limited wind. Had planned to do some burning today but the air is too heavy. Putter around the house I guess. Fire going in the fireplace but a bit reluctantly because of...

My local woodpecker is known as the high steal rivetter in the neighborhood. Two of the closest neighbors have steal roofs and he also comes and beats out a rhythm on my eaves troughs. On a gray foggy day like today it's not bad. However when the weather is good he starts in the very early AM...

Two levels of old. 1 60s and early 70s. Still solid wood. Tongue and groove boards. Real 2x10-12s. Exterior grade plywood roof. Admittedly insulation, windows, HVAC, electrical aren't as good. However the basic box is superior to what they are building now. 2 I love the look of a real...

Explains a few things.:rolleyes:

I had a 1984 AMC Eagle. I didn't notice but it had a small gas line leak which started a fire under the hood. I caught it before it got too far. Just burned some stuff around the base of the carb and manifold. You could not imagine the number of vacuum lines that melted down. It was genuinely...

I've made the same argument. How many older cars needed valve jobs by 80K miles. Carbs., points, timing fiddled with regularly. Remember adjusting lifters. A car with 100K was a survivor. Bodies rotted out in 4-5 years in my climate. And tires were real crap. Neighbor drives a 14 year old Ford...

My mother was the critter whisper. Animals liked her. Before she passed there were a few ferals living in the barn. When she went out to feed them each evening they would show up out of where ever they were hiding out. She even got to pet a couple of them. There was one male who was super...

Obviously a summer shot. The ship is coming out of Lock 1 and by colour looks like a CSLs vessel. Could even be the Right Honourable... I'm located south if this picture were to be extended. They must be working on the self un/loading equipment as on of the booms is out over the docks this...

GM pickups rotted like crazy from the mid70s into the early 80s. My father bought a new 1977 3/4 ton Gm Sierra Grande in the Fall of 76. I came home from delivering some fruit and as I closed the door aboot 2-3 inches of the bottom fell off. It didn't even have 30,000 miles. He didn't even have...

It's tied up to the canal side dock. Work goes on I guess.

If their head fits through the opening they can get the rest of their body into whatever. When I've had a rodent problem in the barn I set up a bucket of water with grain in it and a ramp for them to walk out on. The ramp is just high enough so that they can't reach the grain and end up falling...

Starting out at 28F and we should hit 40F. Warmer today but the difference maker will be just a gentle breeze. Yesterday we had a strong wind all day that just penetrated with the dampness. Mostly sunny too, will make it a happier looking day. Always something to do however I'm not sure where to...

Looking out my living room window I see the Rt Hon Paul J Martin of CSL is finally out of dry dock in Port Weller. She spent the winter having work done. It's kind of cool seeing ships being pulled out as they block the canal at a right angle to normal travel. Somehow the ship looks even bigger...

Sorry. When I read "working women" I expected something different.;)

8:30ish in the AM. Sitting at a very January like 26F and topping out at 32F. Strong wind predicted most of the day. Are we in a time warp going back several months or is this just Global Warming? Nice fire going and I haven't had a hot chocolate for a while. It's going to be a relaxing couple...

When the Mericans started to produce RR engines for the British during WW2 the Brits were concerned the Mericans wouldn't be able to meet their standards. Turns out the Mericans built engines to much tighter tolerances than they could. The tolerances in the Brit Rolls Royce engines was...

7:00am and we're sitting at the freezing mark. Going to be a mostly sunny day hitting maybe 45F. Today is pay day. I get to go and pay all the bills. Going to Costco mostly for the neighbor since he's too cheap to buy a membership. I get his points so not a complete waste. Always find...

An older friend of mine has a 2010 Impala. Low miles, great overall condition, he says he's too old to be buying a new car and is somewhat cash shy for what now runs $50k for nothing special. Lucky the emissions testing was cancelled in Ontario a few years back. An idiot light has come on in...

The weather people are now predicting heavy rain/snow event starting Thursday. They hardly get today right. You'd think they'd learn from this past week predicting a Biblical scale rain event that didn't add up to a good sneeze into the wind.

Nice machine. I've thought of getting one for a while. Did something similar with an 8' Bushhog. Mowing a field for a friend picked up some old fencing that got wound up in the blades. Took most of a day getting it out. Anybody in the vicinity received a free linguistic lesson in 2 languages of...

Approaching 8:30am. Good part of last week leading into the weekend had heavy flooding rains predicted. Ended up with a few sprinkles and a couple hours of light mist. It's better that way but with all that equipment and expert people, Grandma Moses sore bones are still more accurate? Today...

8pm just a light mist when I went out for a few things. Hardly enough for the wipers to come on.

Day 2 just after 2PM Still no flooding rain. Still no rain. Been delayed until after 7PM.:censored:

A female Dr. knows how things measure up in her community.:ROFLMAO:

When I was a kid coming back from walking my Dino there was a car on the yard. Turned out to be RCMP. They had a report that my father was moonshining. They checked all over and found nothing except for a couple packs of US smokes that my Godfathers wife brought my mother. Before leaving they...

8am Saturday. If I had it to do over again I'd be a weather person. For close to the last 24 hours we've been under a heavy rain with flooding potential warning. Rain yesterday morning. NO. Rain by noon. NO. Rain by 6pm. NOPE. By midnight. Not a drop. By 6am today. Hardly enough to wet the...

My namesake, Massey Ferguson. For the 2 MF563s that I traded in try and get a replacement fuel line or a front axle spindle or a number of other items.

When it's barely 10 years old and the manufacturer already stopped supplying some of the replacement parts for that model.

Just after 7Am Thursday. Yesterday we started aboot 34F and by 10ish we were getting snow pellets. Freezing rain warning in the afternoon and slick roads. Heavy rain most of the afternoon. Went into the evening coldish. We had passing fronts overnight that were signalled by lightening and...

I've been saving the Schnutz twins and their cousin Tater Head from drowning long as I can remember. I couldn't have been old since I was 13.

Used to be a variety called Red Coat when I was a kid. In those days many small growers grew strawberries for the shippers. The Red Coats were bleeders and not that big but when they were really ripe you couldn't beat the taste. At the end of the season the ladies would come out to pick for jam...

All trivial expenses. Try and impress a woman. Then spend at least half getting rid of her. Both well worth it according to the little guy guiding your ship.:ROFLMAO:

I bought some strawberry plants. I'm soaking them overnight before I put them in small pots tomorrow. They'll be nice size for putting out in May. Both are everbearing, Ozark and Honeoye.

Holiday chocolate is on par with wax. Buy a quality bar and enjoy it.(y)

You mean I'm going to gain even more weight?:unsure: SOB!:ROFLMAO:

Wouldn't expect any less from a John Deere owner.:rolleyes:

As a young Andretti wanna be I cooked a fair number of automatics. That happens when you get less than 5000 miles on a set of rear tires racing from light to light. I've always been good on clutches, automotive and agricultural.

Mid-May, Victoria Day long weekend. She ain't your daddies old Chevelle.

I take advantage of it when I need X-rays for the Doctor. I just put blank white paper on my seat back and go for a ride at night. The lower extremities are a little tougher to get. Hand and skull shots are eazy.:cool:

About 7 more weeks. Salt and road grit need to be gone. Clear sunny weather.

Left turn Billy -Jo- Bob...:LOL:

I have a few daffodils sticking up an inch or so. Every time it warms for a day or two the cold slams it back down. Everything is grey and depressing. Not cold enough to snow and whiten things but too cold for the greening to start.

We even had a lady who pretended to be ever so thankful and said was donating what she couldn't use to her church. My mother let her take what she wanted. She was running a produce stand at her daughters place making a killing. Turns out she was doing this with some of the other local growers...

You've been donating on a much larger scale than myself. I'm by myself and the extended family is too far away to make it worth coming for/taking to my produce. Nobody around here wants to help grow or pick and then they're fussy about what you give them. 6 tomatoes for myself, few cukes...

Just above freezing. On going fog advisory for the morning. Freezing rain warning Toronto and north. Travel warning for that area. Power outages already in a few areas. We're usually not that bad but should have precipitation off and on during the day. Not really going much past mid 30sF...

I thought B-tch'n Bobby was retired from the concert scene?

I don't like red or long haired cats.

No, no, no, no I don't smoke it no more I'm tired of waking up on the floor No thank you please, it only makes me sneeze and then it makes it hard to find the door

We're still 2 months out from doing that. Still too early to start seeds for planting outside later.

My Mama always said you know you're old when police men and doctors look young to you. Officially there for a while now.:LOL:

It's raining It's pouring The old man is snoring Well... not yet. Just cracking the freezing mark at 6:30 in the AM. Might make 45F later in the afternoon. Rain to start after 5:00PM. High probability and then for the next few days. Persistent cold has me under the weather but I think it's...

We got warmer than predicted almost hitting 50F Now can look forward to 4 rainy days. Oh Joy!

Assholes because they're Kanuckistanian?

Good sunrise time of the day. Starting out at 23F and won't break the freezing point until after 10:00am. Might break 40F later. The air quality says good but the horizon looks hazy. Picked up a cold from the neighbour. It kicked in starting Fri/Sat. Feeling a little better but every once in a...

It's for (I believe) for hydraulic remote. You can use it for the front end loader or a rear implement, dump trailer etc. Friend had one 25 years ago? I forget which position the position control has to be in for it to work.

When I bought my first GC Massey I was going to get the mulching deck. The sales guy, who I knew from High School, convinced me not to. The had sold a few of them and nobody was really happy with them. I forget what the problems were. With the 60" deck I do have I'm not totally pleased either...

Between, "Do you take this control freak to be your lawful wedded wife?" and "You may kiss the Control freak." That's aboot the time they start trying to change you. After 3 years I told her I didn't need a fresh diaper and called it quits.

One is position control. Use that for stuff like your Bushhog where you want to maintain a level cut. Draft control is for soil engaging implements like a plow or cultivator. It raises and lowers like the position control but also maintains a steady load on the tractor. It will raise or lower...

When I first moved to my current abode the neighbour told me that the old guy who had owned the place prior to the people I bought from didn't trust banks. Supposedly there was money buried on the property. I borrowed a friends metal detector and spent a few days searching. I found everything...

Typhoid neighbour has gifted me a cold/flu/covid something. Started yesterday. Low level headache top of the head. Runny schnoz, phlegmy throat but dry cough occasional sneezing fit. No appreciable fever. I don't know if it's related but all night I had to pee every 45+- minutes. Like a...

Ma and Pa had one like that until insurance wouldn't cover it.

I hear Hoyt Clagwells are built in China now. However they aren't up to the old build quality.

Just after midnight. I was on the road most of Tuesday. Man do I hate the traffic in the Golden Horseshoe. When I got home around 7PM I had a quick bite and crashed. Woke up to coyotes howling and obviously chasing some dinner behind the barn. Working either the cotton tails living back there...

How do you make time to keep up on everyone? Nice of you to wish everyone the best and right back at you.(y)🌹

My PTO shafts are never covered. When I get a new tractor first thing gone is the PTO cover. Most I ever do is spray them with WD40 and wipe them with a rag before attaching an implement shaft. Also a shot of WD40 in the receiving end. What's the big deal otherwise. Never had an issue. I'm...

It's the anticipation that makes it worthwhile. 2 pump chump I never was.🤪

I'm still debating the garden. Lots of work, more free loaders coming around for freebees. I did buy some seeds cheap last week. We don't plant until May 21-24 so I won't be starting the plants until the last week or so of April. Last 2 weeks spent under outside glass hardening off before the...

It involves a large safe, some lotion, a private location, a half hour or so and a biceps workout. The rest I'll leave to your imagination. OH! Thinking about bosoms helps.:love:

Last place I worked there was a young arrogant kid working there. He acted like he owned the place even with us senior (long term) employees. His girl friend would pick him up from work couple days a week. She was gorgeous. In the summer he'd park with his windows down. I'd had enough of his...

Yesterday we had a weird see saw day but did make 80F Today we're starting at the freezing point and according to prediction won't reach our high of 35-6F until 4-5PM. Heavy cloud until noon or so. For me today is pay day. I pay my property insurance, electricity, gas, and a couple other bills...

Few years back I was filling my vehicle with gas. I see this girl pull in and stop at the diesel pump get out and start pumping. Big sign on the pump, DIESEL. She was driving a VW Jetta that do have diesels so I didn't think much of it. We walked in to pay at the same time. I said to her...

It's around 5:30pm as I write this. What a weather day. Started around 40F and sunny. Then it alternated sun and cloud. Wind started to kick up before noon bringing in rain and 50+. When the rain stopped the wind kept a cumin but it got warm, just a hair off 80F. Then the rain came back. It was...

I made the mistake before. I added several gallons. I forget the ratio but you add motor oil to enrich the fuel. 6oz? maybe an oz? On a full tank I don't see it doing any damage. My tractor survived no issues.

I'll be surprised to see the bottom side of 80. Going to install 6 immediately.

Found Moen commercial bathroom taps at 60% off. Regular $200 each. I got 8. Two of my baths have 2 sinks and then two powder rooms and a couple just to have. My fixtures don't leak but they are getting older. Nice if even for a cosmetic change. The new ones really have that heavy commercial...

I knew a girl in the way back machine that bought herself a new Mini (the old school ones). She took it back to the dealership after a few weeks because the windshield washer stopped working. She didn't know that you have to add washer fluid. True story.

It's real... as long as I believe it is.

The contestants that know the collected works of a 6th century hermaphrodite Mongol poet but can't tell you what a Flux Capacitor does is mind boggling.

YKYO. I bought a few things the last couple days but not before thinking if I'll get much use from them before I kick the bouquet. Then I thought why should someone inherit my money when they can have something totally useless to them.

Gun locker, $600 all in. Never thought they'd go for it. Happy, happy Kunuckistainian.😊

It used to be TSC then became Peavey Mart. I wondered how it stayed in business. Used to go there for all sorts of things for the farm when it was TSC. Now it was kind of between trying to supply farmers and city gardeners and not serving anyone well. Their prices were generally high for things...

Old know it all hags should be his...

We're aboot 30F going to mid 30s. Mostly sunny. Snow is mostly gone except where it drifted or was piled up. We have had a lot of wind, occasionally very strong. Today will be no different although there won't be any extremes. Happy International Women's day. I'll be keeping an eye out for the...

I spoke with my Dr. about why they still do such an invasive procedure that is potentially dangerous. At the time I had been for a CT Scan for something else. They didn't find anything :) and he was also able to tell me that there were no blockages in my arteries as an aside. I asked why they...

YKYO when everyone in a certain thread has had an experience with a colonoscopy. Prior to getting old the most invasive procedure I ever had was the old finger for a work physical.

That's why I resisted for the longest time. A friend of mine had a perforation and almost died from the resulting infection. It's over 20 years now and he says he's never been the same.

My main machines are 2 new Massey Ferguson 2607s. Rated at 64 Pto Hp. And I have 2 Massey Ferguson compacts gc2300 and 1725M. about 22-24 pto hp. On 6 acres a bit of overkill but what the heck. I have some fruit trees and about an acre of garden. The rest is just mowed. A tractor your size...

YKYO when you see your Dr. more frequently than your best friends. He's also on your speed dial.

Ykyo when you don't work but have a paid for house, car and money in the bank but b-itch and complain about living on a fixed income.

I have Electro-voice concert grade speakers. 15 and 12 inch woofers. Tweeters for midrange and highs. Built the cabinets with my High School shop teacher. Huge things. Over 5 feet tall and 3 feet wide. Takes a hand cart to move them around. They're in the rec room which is 34 by 26. I can...

And...?:unsure:

That's the way I do it.

They make a good machine.

I connect my pressure washer to the inside tap and wash her down.

Still a cool car.

What aboot the Un-cola guy? Hahahahaha!
