Good Morning Guys, 58 to start going to 80, last hot day in Vermont ! Big changes on the way ! Mostly, we rent a slip at the marina for the summer, boat usually goes in water middle to end of May and we have them pull it sometime in October ! Slip fee I believe is around a $1000 for the season...

Good Afternoon Guys, Well I guess I didn’t heed my advice on being safe today ! I was working out on the edge of the property and while I was pulling a branch I tripped going backwards and did quite a good job on the back of my head ! I know it must seem like I am not a safe person, especially...

Good Afternoon Guys, In Vermont I pre bought 400 gals at $2.00. In Ct last year I was paying $2.69, and then another supplier contacted me and said they would deliver all winter for $1.99 ! I called my original supplier and they agreed to that same price, so I didnt switch ! At least a little...

Good Afternoon Guys, We are under flood warnings here, this is just amazing as far as amounts of rain !! M7040, beautiful job on that woodstove tool/ poker ! Great idea on the handle, and the decorative twists in the handle ! Where is Chris Farley when you need him to start screaming at the...

Good Morning Kilroy, I couldn’t agree more on the water heater maintenance! What I do is occasionally shut the heater down and drain it off into the basement sump ! If nothing else it helps get the crap out of the bottom of the tank !

Good Morning Guys, Ct, 55 going to 60 with heavy rain !:rolleyes: Glad I got the Ct lawn mowed yesterday, because it looks like rain today and tomorrow! M7040, thanks ! I started my apprenticeship in 1972, and I didn’t buy my first Gerstner chest until about 1988 ! At the time my chest cost...

Good Evening Guys, TxDon, Im sure you have probably tried it already, but do you think a daily dose og Glucosamine Choindroitin would help your knee ? I take one pill every morning, I think it helps my old joints !:)

Good Afternoon m7040, I was a toolmaker/modelmaker for almost 40 years, and did have a Gerstner tool chest. But as a woodworker my plan was always to build my own chest ! I built this chest about 25 years ago. The carcass is black walnut, the drawers are butternut and the diamond inlays are...

Good Morning Kilroy, I am pretty sure that those anodes were not made to be replaced !:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: I have never talked to anyone who had an easy time of that, usually the whole heater starts moving when you attempt to unloosen that ! Best of luck to you ! I just buy a new heater every 5...

Good Afternoon Dave, Some amazing photos of all the mowing, wondering how many acres you have to mow and how often? I have it pretty easy, only mowing about 7 or 8 acres of field, the rest is lawn, and even with the 5ft brush hog, kind of wish it was a 6ft mower on those hot humid days ! :unsure:

Good Afternoon TractorTYMe, I liked winter a lot more years ago, than I do now ! As others have said, fall is my favorite season, much easier to get things done in that nice low humidity days ! We have had a few snow storms I would rather forget about ! :) As 5030 said, its nice to sit in...

Good Afternoon Don, I am in section 4 unit 30, Ruby League. I started back in 2018 before we went to Germany on a Viking river boat cruise. Thought it would be fun to learn some German before the trip, honestly by the time we went, I didnt know too much !:ROFLMAO: Here we are in 2023 and I am...

Good Morning BravoXray, Yes I meant cap, sorry, I also noted the OP mentioned with a cap ! I was just voicing my views about sliding rear windows in pickups in general ! Thanks for the correction on my poor spelling !

Good Evening Maple Leaf, I have had four pickups, the first three had the sliding rear window, 1982 3/4 ton Chevy, 1989 S-10 Chevy, 2000 Dodge Ram 1500. When ever I had the rear window open I would get anything that was blowing around in the bed, into the cab via the sliding window ! :unsure...

Good Afternoon jmc, I really dont need an excuse, it just comes naturally ! ;) Good Afternoon NoTrepassing, I hear you ! I was at Lowes the other day to buy some flexible pvc tubing ! No body around so I asked for help in the plumbing isle. Finally after waiting a few minutes a young man comes...

Good Morning Drew, Looks like you need to break out the boogie board and hit that surf ! Looks exciting !;)

Good Morning PopG, Just wondering about the outlet for charging, does that have to be a 20 amp circuit or will 15 amps suffice ?

Good Morning Guys, Kilroy, happy anniversary to you and the Mrs!! Hope it was a good day, sorry I missed that yesterday but was quite intent on closing my pool ! Scaredy, sooty to hear your problems, divorce related, that’s never fun ! Sounds like you have a good plan in place ! Buppies...

Good Evening Don, Good news for your cousins, but I kind of liked the days when I coukld get a good steak for $5 !! Those days are long gone unfortunately ! :(

Good Afternoon caver, In 1982 while building my house in Ct, I had a pounder dig our well. He went down 125', and we had about 3-5 gpm. when my two sons started getting older, and using more water for showers and wash, we had to have a rotary rig come in and deepen the well. We went down to 450...

Good Afternoon wngsprd, Hillarious video, thanks !! :ROFLMAO: :)

Good Afternoon Guys, Mike, I am guessing your pool water temperature is not down to 72 like mine was this morning, but I can certainly understand your concern over the storm thats coming through.
