Good Evening Thomas, Yeah I know, but this is actually legit, even lists the agency that cared for my mother, so pretty sure its all above board. Anyways the state of Ct now has the money, I just need to prove to them I am the rightful surviving owner ! David, I would think that surf would...

BEF, We didnt do that but I think the plane hops from island to island are pretty reasonable ! David would know better than me, but when we looked into it, it didnt seem bad !

Good Afternoon Guys, Kyle, thats what I love about Vermont, walk out my back door and shoot a target or whatever, nobody even notices ! If I did that in Ct, we are in a subdivision on 1 or 1 1/2 acre lots, the police would be here before I could say my last name ! Birdshot wont travel 200 yards...

Good Evening Guys, Mike Z, as I understand it the Mr Cool mini split has pre charged lines, so I’m guessing if you cut off the excess line there is a way to recharge the system, is that correct? My youngest son has a MrCool that he is not using, I’m thinking about taking it off his hands and...

Good Morning Guys, 62 to start going to 90 or so with humidity you can cut with a knife !😩 Drew, same way here, I can’t drink anywhere near what I was able to drink years ago ! Also cant drink beer later at night or it keeps me up in the middle of the night ! 😉 Usually stick to a glass of white...

Good Evening beowulf, I usually just change the pump out myself also. I have an inground pool with a Pac Fab Nautilus filter NS-48 DE. I think the last time I did it, I believe it was about $300 plus, of course that was a couple of years ago before inflation hit, Im sure its more now. You should...

Good Afternoon, PopG, yes you can get a good boiler for 5 K, but then there is all the labor to disassemble the old one and remove it in sections. Your probably talking a 5 section boiler, so that’s a job in itself ! Boilers last a long time, so that means some piping may need to be replaced...

Good Morning, I have a 2017 F-150 I bought new , when I first got the truck I was getting 22-25 mpg on a trip. That was with the highway tires that the truck came with ! I now have the BF Goodrich tires with an aggressive snow tread for those Vermont snows , and also my steeper in one section...

Good Mirning Guys, 61 with rain going to 75 ! Ken, the top of the line oil burner with all the bells and whistles should be between 15-18K tops with instillation included ! I still drive part time for an oil company and just asked the owner of our company , that is the answer he gave me ! All...

Good Evening RNG, If memory serves me well this evening, on a Bridgeport mill, you loosen the set screws to remove the large threaded ring at the base of the quill. I believe that gives you access to the key we are talking about that drives the collets ! The Powermstics are very similar ! Have...

Good Morning Zarkhillbilly, I know you need a larger compressor, but I went to TSC to find one that works for me. I only occasionally use the compressor for HVLP painting, so I really didnt need anything as large as what your looking at. I had a Craftsman 30 gallon for about 30 years, surprised...

Good Evening Don, At least you can see the humor in all of this insanity !! TBS, Just take a look at the NE, RI is planning a big wind farm off the coast, and now the GREEN people are at odds with each other ! One side sees the wind as our saviour, and the other side sees the death knoll to the...

Good Afternoon 4570Man, I agree with that ! I honestly think most people are descent folks that do not intentionally litter, but there are a few that just do not care. I do not think its fair to say most people are slobs, thats just not true ! As far as clearing trees and such from roadways...

Good Morning Guys, 50's to start going to 80. Drew, its funny you mention that, I was trimming out back the day before yesterday. I knew there was some PI, and did get trimmer tangled up, but soon as I finished I took a good shower, so no PI on me yet ! :rolleyes: The bitter sweet vines are...

Good Afternoon Guys, LS, congrats to you and the Mrs. on your anniversary ! BEF, yes the inflation is killing us, but you might as well cash in on the higher interest rates if your in that position to do so ! At least it lessens the impact of the inflation slightly ! Im sitting here, and I...

Good Morning Guys, Drew, the good news is that cash accounts are actually paying out some interest ! mostly_gas, Yes, I have used 3/4-1" process in the past, hopefully the larger process wont flip and roll as easily in heavy rain, creating ruts, etc. My neighbor is impressed with the way his DW...

Good Evening Guys, Popgadget, so I forgot that I had someone like you that lives across the street from me ! He is an electrician by trade, but he has also has a bachelors degree in EE ! He came over and we narrowed it down to the centrifugal switch on the motor ! If I have some free time...

Good Morning Popgadget, Ok so you can now tell me, that I told you so ! Starting capacitor didn’t fix anything ! 😩 The thing that makes it hard to go out and discard this compressor away is that it wants to start but just can’t make it up to high speed to make air ! I have had this compressor...

Good Morning Guys, Our last full day on the beach, and it looks to be another spectacular weather day ! 62 to start going to 81 or 82 ! Newbury, I had many motorcycles, but the one that sticks in my mind is a 1971 H2-750cc Kawasaki ! Of course thta thing was a rocket ship, as some would say a...

Good Evening David, Best of luck with your SCAG ! Could it be a nonfunctioning interlock switch giving you problems ! They can be frustrating !!

Good Afternoon Thomas, Best of luck with your CDL instructor meeting !! You can do it Thomas !!

Good Morning Guys, 60 this morning going to 80 at the beach. Another beautiful clear day with very few clouds ! Mike, We also had lots of rain this year, and grass and field grew like crazy, but last year we had a lot of burned patches because of lack of precipitation ! I am guessing you had...

Good Evening Guys, Thought I would post a nice pic of our moon rise tonite ! 🙏

Good Evening KilroyJC, WTH, that would have done it for me ! No JB weld on any of my woodstoves ! :unsure:

Good Evening Daugen, This whole thing makes me laugh ! The USA is reducing its carbon footprint, while China is increasing theirs ! I kind of forget all the numbers I read in an article the other day, but the just of the article was that even with our planned reductions, China's increase and...

Good Afternoon rswyan, It looks like you are correct ! Thomas also correct , much more testing and paperwork these days !

Good Morning Guys, Thomas, no just planning on giving up the hazmat/tanker endorsement ! It seems very funny sitting on a flat beach to be posting on Owning /Operating forum about mowing on steep slopes !;) Hope all have a blessed safe day !

Good Morning Guys, Some excellent posts on here already! There are so many variables that go into this equation, it’s almost impossible to give someone a specific answer ! What I have determined though years of mowing on steeper slopes, I will try and mention here ! My property is steep...

Good Evening Thomas, Yes , CDL, very handy ! Still have mine with hazmat and tanker endorsement ! But you have to take a retest every 4 years for the hazmat endorsement ! Also have to get a physical every year, if you take a blood pressure medication! Kind of a pain, Im about at the end of all...

Good Evening Good Evening marhar, Yes indeed, closing in on 72 and still knocking it out, or knocking me out, however you want to Look at it !😂 My grandson at the wheel in this one, but yes that diesel does get hot on those 85 degree humid days !

Good Evening Guys, Daugen, thats quite a trip you have planned ! We also love to get crabs down there when we go in that direction ! TxDon, we have had good luck with our cukes this year, nothing like a good cuke salad, little vinegar and mayo ! Glad you spotted the filter problem ...

Good Morning HayDude, Yes, I am with you on staying with gas ! My oldest son tried to convince me to go with an electric weed trimmer, I tried his and was not impressed ! Good for very short duration work right around the house and then needs a charge ! I will stick with my Stihl chainsaws...

Good Afternoon RedNeckGeek, My pressure washer does the same thing and its only two years old, so my guess its nothing serious ! Possibly the govenor taking a breather ! :)

Good morning Guys, Storm came through last night and low humidity and clear skies today ! 60’s this morning going to 78 or 79 ! Should be a pleasant day on the beach ! My two grandsons doing a little excavator work ! 🙏 A safe and blessed day for all ! 🙏

Good Afternoon TxDon, This is the Connecticut coast, it got very close to 90 today, not quite, but close ! Yesterday, Don we had low 90’s here with pretty high humidity, 70% range, so for us northern folks that’s pretty darn hot ! The grandkids having a ball digging in the sand ! Certainly...

Good Afternoon Guys, A little change in scenery this week ! :)

Good Late Morning Guys, We are on a beach vacation with our two sons and grand children ! One more very hot day here and then I understand a cool front coming in ! Enjoyed the pictures of the old enduro dirt bikes, did plenty of that in my younger days ! Everyone have a blessed and safe day !:)

Good Evening Popgadget, Thanks for your reply ! We are leaving for vacation for a week this friday, I will try and take a look before then, if not I will get into it when we get back ! Thanks again !!

Good Afternoon kenmbz, I did drain what little water was in there ! There is no oil in the piston or sleeve area ! I still need to take off the motor cover and check that out ! Thanks for the reply !!

Good Afternoon Buckeyefarmer, Yes I originally was kicking the breaker in the garage, that was on a GFI circuit, I thought it was because of the high humidity. So I ran an extension into the house and got it to run until I tripped that breaker also ! :unsure: So unless the extension cord was not...

Good Morning wngsprd, Glad you figured out the troublesome zerk fitting ! I have run into that before !

Good Morning Guys, 67 now going into the mud 80’s, so another hot and humid day ! Popgadget, your an electrical guy ! My 6hp 30 gal Craftsman compressor is giving me trouble. When I try to start it it’s kicking my breaker, wants to start but kicks breaker instead ! I have read it may be the...

Buppies, Get well soon ! No fun being sick ! Daugen, Hopefully you get your power back soon !

Good Afternoon Kyle, I do have to agree with part of what you say ! I started my machinist apprenticeship in 1971 and finished in 1975 I believe. I worked for Farrel Corporation, who manufactured heavy equipment, such as Banbury Mixers, for the tire industry, continuous mixers for the plastics...

Good Afternoon Guys, This morning I started working my way around the hedge rows in the field with the Ranger, trimming low hanging branches as I went ! Got quite a bit done but then came the heat and humidity back ! I usually cut the field in early June and then again later in September. I...

Good Morning Popgadget, Beautiful job on that speaker !! Enjoy the trip to Marthas Vineyard, been there many times, beautiful island !

Good Morning wngsprd, Sorry, I misread your post ! Could it be a defective zerk fitting ? Sounds similar to when I am trying to grease the cutter spindles on my old Wheel Horse C-125. I just think that they really dont need much grease, any excess just comes up through a pin hole in the spindle...

Good Morning Guys, Scootr, I never ran over any animals with my bush hog, but almost ran over a fawn sleeping in the high grass and weeds ! Fortunately, he took off just before I got to that spot ! But what I did do might be worth mentioning! I was weed wacking around the perimeter of the barn...

Good Evening B, I agree with Willy, sounds like you have a bad battery connection or connections somewhere ! That would be the first things I would do !

Good Evening Guys , It was a top 10 day here ! We went out on the lake for a ride on the pontoon boat, absolutely spectacular weather, especially the way this summer has been ! Daugen, you would have loved it out there today ! Water was nice also ! 😂 Hope all have a great evening !

Good Morning wngsprd, What I meant was an extended flexible line that screws into the existing zerk fitting hole and then comes out somewhere on the mower that is more accessible to reach with the grease gun, so like an extended line from that fitting ! Of course I imagine that you would need to...

Good Morning Guys, 56 to start this morning, going to upper 70’s ! Clear skies and lower humidity, so looks to be a pleasant day ! Grandkids are leaving later this morning, so good travel weather for them ! Buppies, no ride on tractor but let my son and DIL take the Ranger out with the kids...

Good Morning Guys, 63 this morning going up to 80 or so, along with better air quality supposedly ! Off to hospital at 9 ! Really looking forward to lunch time, as it seems like ever since I have had any solid food ! Feeling kind of weak this morning, so dont know how much will get accomplished...

Good Evening Lou, I have heard some horror stories like that ! I have not even been able to take any advil for the last two days ! For the record in all of these colonoscopies through the years, they have never had to remove a polyp ! So obviously in my mind anyway, this should not have to go on...

Thanks Thomas, I am hoping for some of that thing they call sleep tonite !:)

Thanks Buckeyefarmer, I have used this practice before, along with this hospital also. So I think should be OK ! Although while at my dentist for the temporary crown, he said to me, even with your Dental Insurance, my share will be in the neighborhood of $900 !:cry: I guess its good that I...

Good Afternoon Guys Buckeyefarmer, so that why Im getting water in my crisper draw in the garage refrigerator !:unsure: Thanks for that tip, figured it was something like that ! Not a particularly good day, dentist this afternoon for temporary crown on a chipped tooth, and I just started...

Good Morning Guys, Thanks all for complements on the chests for my Grandsons ! I have all the black walnut to build 2 sculptured rockers for my Grand daughters, but have made little to no progress on that project ! Hopeful to get back into it this fall ! Today is 68 presently going to 82 but...

Good Afternoon KilroyJC, Are your Norton stones oil! I have a couple of Norton stones that are oil. Not sure if the manufacturer of the water stones ! Here is a picture of my last project for my grandsons, toy/blanket chests made out of white oak with black walnut panels , and lined the floor...

BCP, That was very cool ! Das war sehr nett !;)

Good Morning Guys, KilroyJC, Thats the way I test my planes also, I have used water stones for many years with great success ! I keep 4 different grits in a water buckey in my shop, I think my finest is 1200 grit. I also use a plane holder from Veritas I believe. M7040, nice job on stacking...

Good Afternoon Sigarms, Some very good replies here ! Through the use of the proper equipment in the right hands, you should have no problem with tank location ! When I was building a small deck on the back side of the house, I didnt make it a permanent fixture because the water line from our...

Good Morning Guys, Rich B1, what a beautiful vintage BSA motor cycle, that is certainly a classic ! Daugen, nice shot of your Farmall, those tractors are true classics, just a pretty and handy little machine ! Also wanted to mention that my now deceased BIL lived across the river from New...

Good Morning Thomas, You have a good memory, I restored this tractor back in 2006 I believe ! That was a fun project !1949 Farmall Super A I think I will give it to one of the grandsons one day, when they are old enough! 🙏 This picture in front of the Ct house !

Good Evening M7040, I think you are thinking of moldmakers ! I was a modelmaker for Pitney Bowes, I machined and built office mailing equipment prototypes. Although when I served my apprtenticeship I did spend time in the foundry, only about 4 weeks or so, but very interesting !

Good Evening scootr, I really can not imagine that kind of heat ! When it gets up to 90 here, that is really high ! I tend to not do much work after 85, and even then, you have to drink copious amounts of water to stay hydrated ! Best of luck with those temperatures !:) Oh almost forgot, 76...

Good Afternoon Guys, Popgadget, beautiful job on that speaker my friend ! Looks like quite an interesting project ! Will look forward to the finished product ! Buppies, sorry to hear about your situation, anyone can see its not easy, keep going one day at a time and feel free to vent ...

Good Morning Guys, More thunder storms and rain last night, wondering when this terrible weather pattern will take a turn for the better? My thoughts and prayers to all flooded residents in low lying areas that have been so adversely affected by these floods ! 🙏 Hope all have a blessed and safe...
