Just for the ck of it, why not give Fawcett a call? He is in St. Marys, ON All States Ag Parts (Canada) | Used & New Tractor, Combine & Skid Steer Parts

Scott, I was thinking either that or go and run a roller for the foreman I worked with hauling his tar. He has already offered me a shot at it. In the past, I have found that if you treat people the way you expect to be treated, you can get along fine. I had a black security guard in South...

Good morning, low 28 and that is the high as well. Wind WNW 11 mph. 60% chance of flurries. There is about 1/4" on the deck so far. My new keyboard arrived yesterday, will get that set up later today. I have pretty much made up my mind that I will be retiring in the spring. I may go and get...

Fly situation under control, more or less. One squirt of the alcohol/water/soap mixture and their wings don't work anymore. They slowly die, so I do the humane thing and when they are reduced to walking I swat them and vacuum up the bodies once a day.

Good morning, the low is 21 and going up to 36°F. Wind SE 3 mph. A few flurries/rain showers. Not sure what I will get into today, there is nothing planned. Have safe day all

Thank you, BEF.

Good morning, the low is 50 and the forecast high if supposed to be 46°F. Wind SW 16 gusting to 26 mph. Periods of rain. We moved the dump run to today, that way we can get the mail for the week and do the dump and town run all at once. Got up about 20 minutes ago to strains of someone (not...

RNG,you need a pair of L.E.D. backup lights on the trailer.

Good morning, the low is 27 and the high to 45°F. Zero wind. Mainly sunny. Today is dump/town day, I cannot medicate my knee until after we go to the dump. I will get some more rubbing alcohol while I am there. The water, rubbing alcohol and Dawn dish soap concoction works great! Now we kill...

Good morning, the low is 37 and it is going to 48°F. Wind S 11 mph. Mostly cloudy. When I got up this morning the temp inside was 77°F. Lots of large coals in the stove, to the point that I didn't need to restart the fire. Just throw in more wood. When I got home in early October there were...

I am sorry for your loss, Mostly.

Good morning, the low temp is 32 and the high will be about 39°F. Wind WNW 7 mph. A mix of sun and cloud. Another energy conservation day and baby my knee. Love the motorcycle advert, Kilroy. Have a safe day all

On this side of the street, but not on the other side. That was my experience when I lived at 1905 Calais Dr., Miami

Good morning,the low is 32 and the high to 41°F. Wind ESE13 mph. A few flurries/rain showers. The forecast is calling for less than an inch of snow, but at 41 F, somehow I don't think that will happen. The new quilted flannel shirts arrived and they seem warmer than the last ones which were...

PJ, back when I had chickens, I installed a complete watering system for them. I heated their water in winter, too.

PJ,have you tried these? Home - FarmTek - Hydroponic Fodder Systems, Farming & Growing Supplies, Hoop Barns, Poultry & Livestock Equipment, High Tunnels, Greenhouses & More

Good morning, the low is 20 and going to a high of 36°F. Wind E 8 mph. Partly sunny. I could handle a whole winter of these temps. Above freezing in the daytime and below freezing at night. Time to medicate my knee. Will check in later. Have a safe day all

There are two males in this house, me (77) and my stepson (56). I am usually up at 4 or 5A.M., he doesn't get up until 9 A.M., after I call him. That gives me 4 or 5 hours of naked smoking,I don't drink much any more. After I wake him up then I put some clothes on. Yes I deal with the fire in...

Rich, maybe you can convince her to jump into the freezer?

Good morning, the low is 26 and the high going to 32°F. Wind WNW 7 mph. Mainly sunny. A good day for a parade. I think today I will do what I did yesterday. . . Absolutely nothing. Remembrance Day: A hearty Thank You for your service to all the Vets. Drew, drive safe in the rain. Have a safe...

Yesterday I got high test gas for $1.879/L. Does that count as cheap gas? :devilish:

That is why I just paid out $1300.oo for a replaced sink drain.

As long as it is in someone elses back yard. 😇 :ROFLMAO:

Good morning, we are at the highest temperature today 35 and it is going down to 34°F. Wind WSW 13 mph. 40% chance of flurries. I gave everybody a scrape yesterday just because. The one person that doesn't pay in money was belly aching about one of the stones/rocks around her garden that I...

Ate off the mantle many times. A blistered backside never really hurt me. That is the way I was brought up. Spare the rod, spoil the child.

Good morning, the low is 27 and the high up to 36°F. Wind E 13 gusting to 22 mph. Flurries or rain. Snowing right now, there is 3"+ on the deck. The block heater for the tractor is turned on and the wood stove is burning again. My routine in the morning after a P is to check on the security...

Good morning, the low is 22 and going to a high of 32°F. Wind N 8 mph. 40% chance of flurries. I was actually up at 5, but kicked the wood stove back into gear and caught up on the posts here. The oil furnace keeps the house at 72 and with the wood heat we keep it at 75+. If the temperature in...

Happy Birthday, Scott!

Good morning, the low temperature is 41 and the high will be around 32°F. Wind NNW 21 gusting to 28 mph. 40% chance of flurries and it is raining right now. I am up way too early, will be going back to bed after this post. Have a safe day all

We finally got the kitchen drain fixed, the 3" pipe was plugged solid with grease and crud. The plumber left at about 3 right behind me. I was going to the bank to get him more than the $750 I had on hand. Got to the bank and the electricity was out. I will get him the money tomorrow and meet...

Good morning, the low is 30 and going to a high of 45°F. Wind ESE 11 mph. Right now light snow, changing over to rain later as the temp rises above freezing. I am not sure what I will get into today, but rest assured it wont be much. Happy Birthday Mrs mostly. Have a safe day all

Good morning, low temp is 30 and going to a high of 37°F. Wind NW 6 mph. A mix of sun and cloud. and on the seventh day He rested. That is exactly what I am going to do. Have a safe day all

180,000 pages makes for a lot of reading for someone.

Good morning, the low is 27 and going to a high of 36°F. Sunny! No wind. The weekly dump run that is usually done on Thursdays just got moved to Saturdays. So that is what I am doing today. Have a safe day all

Good morning, the low is 40 and the high to 45°F. Wind SSW 12 gusting to 20 mph. Showers. Not much planned for today. We will see what pops up. Have a safe day all

Here is another one. I was there in 1980

Good morning, the low was 30°F and going to a high of 39. Wind SSE 7 mph. 40% chance of rain. We can wave goodbye to the 3" from yesterday morning. What a rotten night last night was. Went to bed early (2 A.M.), up at 3 for a P. Rinse and repeat the rest of the night,up every hour Pn. I got up...

The evolution of ejection seats, another interesting video.

I just finished watching this. Very informative to me at least.

Took the 5.5 year old all refrigerator to the dump today. Picked it off the deck with the loader bucket and plopped it into the trailer, unceremoniously. $2500.oo down the tubes and the fridge I bought in the summer of 1997 for $600.oo is still going.

Good morning, the low is 21 and the high will be about 32°F. Wind N 5 mph. Sunny! We got about 3" of fluffy white stuff yesterday and overnight. I am not going to do anything with it. Just drive on it. Thursday through Saturday the temps will be in the 40's. Bye, bye snow. Today Junior goes to...

check,with our luck OHIP wont cover it.

We got about an inch so far.

What I see through my dirty kitchen window when the block heater is on for the tractor.

2.5% is easier on your monthly salary and over the long run they make the same money, just not as fast.

North Bay trip went off without a hitch. Snowing so hard that when I came back I actually used the real headlights instead of daytime running lights. Road was wet to almost snow covered, bridge decks were white and not treated. We got a little less than an inch, so far. Going out tomorrow...

Full rack of ribs with sweet potato fries and coleslaw.

Good morning, the low is 20 and the high to 34°F. Wind E 5 mph. 70% chance of showers. I think the showers will come as snow. My snow tires are on. Big shopping trip today, the monthly trip to North Bay.Only 6 stops plus lunch. Should be home by 2 P.M. Have a safe day all

If you want to wind her up further,tell her that it is better to be P'offed than P'on. 😇:devilish:

Good morning, the low is 33 and the high should be around 37°F. Wind WNW 8 mph. 70% chance of flurries. Accumulation about an inch. It wont stay, the ground is not frozen. Energy conservation day for sure. Ron, nice shot of that tree rat. Have a safe day all

I think my next house will have tongue and groove wood siding on the walls. My drywalling days about over. My kitchen and living room are both done in T&G pine installed vertically to compliment the vertical logs on the outside.

I would expect steam at an ambient temperature of 679F.:eek::ROFLMAO: Dump run can wait until a day with no football.

I use Christmas lights as an indicator that my block heaters have electricity. Primarily the tractor as I cannot see the shelter from the kitchen window. No window on the north wall. I do the same for the Dodge even though I CAN see it in its' shelter. All the lights are run and work as...

Good morning, the low is 31 and the high is going to 45°F. Wind SE 7 mph. Cloudy. It might be 31 outside, but it is a balmy 77 in here. I see the shyster in Ottawa has removed the federal tax on home heating oil for the next 3 years. That will save me about $80.oo/fillup. Now if we could get...

Thomas, if you have a way to inflate the tires, let the air out of them and then install the chains and reinflate.

Good morning, the temp right now is 42 and the high for today will be 39°F. Wind W 11 gusting to 17 mph. 40% chance of rain. I am not sure what I will get into today, but rest assured it wont be much. Don,your knee is looking good. Have a safe day all

The promised evening thunder storms are here.

I am 8 hrs and 19 minutes from Hornepayne IF I go via highway 11. I would probably take highway 17 and run north at White River.

I bet 'she' is kinda square. :ROFLMAO:

Good morning, the low is 57 and going to a high of 61°F. Wind SW 11 mph. Periods of rain or drizzle. Risk of T-storms this evening. I didn't install the cube lights. I couldn't find them. What I did find was a pair of DC 9 landing lights (Incandescent) and a pair of direct replacement LED...

Nice installation.

Good morning, the low is 51 and the high to 59°F. Wind ENE 6 mph. Rain or drizzle. I think today after I go to the dump I will dig out the LED cube lights I actually bought for the Freightliner but never got around to putting them on. They will replace the forward work lights on the Kioti AND...

Got the Dodge back, $181.oo poorer. There was a recall on the info centers in the dash. The one that has the stereo, backup camera and all that junk. They also looked at why the A/C stopped working last spring and determined that it was low on Freon. We will look at that in spring. I have been...

I am always excited for snow. The more the merrier! I want to try out my newly re-skinned V plow. No snow in the forecast for the next 6 days...All rain.:mad:

Good morning, the low is 53 and the high to 57°F. Wind ESE 7 mph. Showers. According to the long range forecast, the whole week is going to be wet. Tires and A/C today at the shop for the Dodge. Don't know what I will get into while I am 'cooling my jets' at the house waiting for the Dodge to...

Tomorrow the Dodge goes into the shop for snow tires and see how much to fix the A/C. The oil was changed last April, so it should be good until April 2024. I haven't done 1500 miles on the last oil change with a synthetic oil blend.

If you don't bring wood in with you then you can get screwed at a buck a piece. They win, you lose. I made an executive decision that today would be dedicated to pain management.

Those aren't 'holiday' lights. They are indicator lights to show me when the block heaters are on. 3 bux a gallon is half what we pay if I convert my Litres into gallons. We get taxed up the ying yang for fuel, cigarettes and booze. The supposed 'sin' taxes. I think history needs to repeat...

Good morning, the low is 43 and going to a high of 55°F. Wind SE 6 mph. T-storms this afternoon. Rain in the forecast all week. It is nice to finally have everything under roof again. The BH, wood conveyor, snow blower and 2 buckets can live outside. The remotes for the two block heaters are...

The tarp is on the tractor shed and it is tucked in for now. I am waiting for amazon to deliver the batteries I ordered and then I will get at the block heater remotes.

Good morning, the low is 29 and the high should hit 46°F. Wind N 7 mph. Mainly sunny! Tarp goes up today for sure. Have a safe day all

Happy Birthday, BEF!

Good morning, the low temp is 35 and going to a high of 46°F. Wind NNW 19 gusting to 34 mph. 30% chance of flurries or rain showers. There will be zero tarp handling in THAT wind. There is nothing else on the books for today, just set back and feed the fire. Daugen, I rent my water softener...

Both power supplies for the block heaters work. The remotes do not, I've got batteries coming from Amazon. I will grab a 20' string of L.E.D. Christmas lights from Canadian Tire at the end of the month. That'll take care of the tractor shed, the Dodge garage I can see from the kitchen window and...

Drew, your cut in & cutout pressure is set at the regulator. ONLY pressure the tank up to what is listed on the label. I put a pressure gauge where the water comes out of the tank and before any lines run off it. I may be mistaken but if I recall rightly 30 is the cut in setting and 40 is the...

Good morning, the low is 41 and going to a high of 45°F. Wind N 13 gusting to 23 mph. A few showers. I might get at the tarp today, the shed is protected from the North wind by a stand of trees. If I don't get to the tarp, I can always set up the remotes for the block heaters. Tractor is all...

I would cut the pipes in front of the rear axle and put turn down tips on. As for Tim Hortons coffee, I will drink it if it is bought for me, but if I have a choice I get their orange juice instead.

Good morning, the low is 51 and going up to 57°F. Wind ESE 7 mph. Showers. It is raining right now. The trailer is empty and ready to go back into its' hidy hole for the winter. I park it between the genny shed and the tractor shed. It is open to the elements, but it will survive. Too rainy to...

My 28 year old furnace (has a Becket burner on it) has never seen anything but off road diesel. It is thinner than the over the road diesel. Less wax in it and as a result will not gel as early as OTR diesel. The filter for it is inside the house, this may help.

Good morning, the low is 46 and going to a high of 55°F. Wind SE 7 mph. 40% chance of showers. Everything that is in the way of doing the last tarp is out of the way. Now we just need the weather to co-operate. Fired up the wood furnace yesterday and the house is toasty warm now. Have a safe...

Got the wood furnace fired up. It is a toasty 74°F in here. Turned the oil furnace down to 70 from 72.

The tractor shed tarp did not get done. I did do the dump run after sorting out the freezer situation at neighbours. Took her garbage/trash as well. It has been raining off and on all day.:mad:

Good morning, the low is 40 and going to a high of 56°F. Wind E 6 mph. 30% chance of showers beginning near noon. On the way to the dump I will be moving a freezer for the neighbour lady and picking up whatever she has to go to the dump, too. I cannot put the trailer into its' winter home...

Illegal is a sick bird.😇 We got rid of the load on the trailer, right after the chimney sweep left. $300.oo and because he is W.E.T.T. certified he makes that statement on paper so it is good for the insurance company. Got a tarp around and over the BH and also got one more garage tarp on...

Good morning, the low is 35 and going to a high of 52°F. Wind N 5 mph. Partly sunny/partly cloudy depending on how you look at things. One of the two remaining tarps WILL go up today, after the dump run. IF I feel ambitious I will do the other tarp. Have a safe day all

Happy Birthday Buppies!

I am up late this morning, but it sure beats the alternative...Low temp is 43 and the high to 50°F. Wind NNW 14 gusting to 22 mph. 30 % chance of drizzle and it is raining right now. No tarp work today. The rear of the Dodge sits lower than the rear of the Jeep, so I put an adapter in the mix...

As promised, the price I paid for fuel today was $1.439/Litre ($5.439/Us Gallon in Canadian dollars. Trip was uneventful other than the rain both ways, but in town it was dry.

Good morning, the low is 40 and the high temperature will get to 46°F. Wind NNW 11 gusting to 22 mph. 30% chance of showers or light rain. A good day to take off to the city. I drop Junior off at the hospital for a cat scan. I go to the place where I get my cheap fuel (cheap by my standards)...

The wind got up 10+ mph. I learned many years ago that you don't want to mess with a 30X40' tarp in the wind. Monday is another day for that. I gotta go to North Bay on Sunday. Instead of messing with the tarp we removed the hoe and rock bucket from the tractor and put the back blade and 'V'...

Good morning, the low is 41 and going to a high of 52°F. Wind N 3 mph. 40% chance of showers. I gotta go to the dump this afternoon, this is an unplanned trip. The neighbours' freezer crapped out. She doesn't have any wheels, so she relies on me and junior to get the heavy hitting done. That is...

Got up this morning and knees were letting me know they didn't appreciate the workout they got yesterday...The first tarp is all buttoned up with the goodies inside. The second tarp will have to wait until tomorrow, but the shredded tarps that were on the shelters is now in the garbage trailer...

Good morning, the low temperature is 42 and going to a high of 54°F. 30% chance of showers. Wind NNW 6 mph. The first tarp went on okay, and now the zero turn is under cover again. Z-turn, lawn sweeper, power washer and juniors' tricycle are all under cover along with some 16' lumber. Going to...

Well we got a tarp over one of the shelters. It took 2 hours for the two of us, right from cutting the old roof cover off and stowing that in the trailer for the up coming dump run, to putting up the new tarp and tieing it down.. daugen, so far at 78 I haven't had any flashbacks. I did a lot...

We can grow up to four plants per adult (over 19), which I don't.There are no green thumbs in this house. Don't get caught driving with a joint or bulk within easy reach of the driver. That goes for alcohol, too. NONE in commercial trucks even if you have a sleeper.

Good morning, the low temperature is 33 and gong to a high of 52°F. Wind NNW 3 mph. Cloudy. Today will be a good day to hang the tarps. Have a safe day all

scott_vt; PM coming your way

How old are you? "at my age"

Most drivers, yes. International drivers as per U.S. rule. I feel that as long as I am responsible for their $100,000.oo tractor( they bought it used) and $250,000.oo set of tank trains, I do not smoke dope within 24 hours of going to work. On my 36 reset I allow myself to party for the first 12...

Good morning, the low is 41 and going to a high of 50°F. Wind NNW 3 mph. 30% chance of showers. The plumber is coming today to fix the sink drain. While he is doing that I will put the rest of the firewood inside. I have a flat spot between two of the shelters that I am going to use for...

Good morning, the low temp is 42 and going to a high of 50°F. Wind SW 15 mph. Showers. Today the plumber is supposed to be coming back to do the sink drain. This is the same plumber we had come in when we did the bathroom rebuild in 2012. After the plumber leaves, then it will be time to take...

The overnight lows wont be as low as last night and the highs are going into the 40-50° range for the rest of the week. This is a good thing. I still have three heavy duty tarps to put on the three shelters. I didn't have the money then, now I do and also the time to put them up. I don't do...

Mother always told me to share my assets.:devilish:

Good morning, the low temp is 35 and going up to 41°F. Wind WSW 17 gusting to 25 mph. Light rain/snow. we might get the inch they are talking about, but it wont stay. Ground aint frozen. Happy Thanksgiving Day for all that celebrate. It was always a toss up whether my mother made my Halloween...

I will have the chicken and sweet potato tomorrow cold. Some maple syrup on the potato and all will be good.

Hey is for horses, straw is cheaper and grass is free. Up here straw is/was cheaper than hay. Not totally sure about the price differential. Been out of the business for a lota, lota years. Still snowing. Forecast is for about an inch tonight and another inch tomorrow. It wont stay though...

Journey fired right up. Battery only 2 years old. As per MTO/DoT rules I had to 'pre-trip' the tractor to make sure the wheels didn't fall off it in the driveway, then bob-tail to where the trailers were at, pin them and yet another pre-trip on them. The company pays me 45 minutes for this...

No Sunday morning post for me. I'm off to Markham early tomorrow morning.

The honey wagon came and went. $260.oo The rain is off and on. It is hard to work between the rain drops, but we are getting it done. I have 4 more buckets to put in the basement and that will be all 16 face cords in. I am going to see if I can get another 500 rpm out of that little one lunger...

Good morning, the low was 48 and going to a high of 54°F. Wind ENE 5 mph. Showers for the next 7 days and nights. Unless there is a torrential downpour the wood is going in today. Nothing much more to tell, up in the wee small hours of tomorrow morning and take the big truck and trailers back...

I don't need to, I do it as preventive medicine. I would rather do it now when I just finished work for the next 8 months and have lots of money (within reason), than at income tax time when money is scarce.

The plumber just left, $1.oo/mile travel one way. (No charge for today) $80.oo/hour for the work that in his words will take anywhere from 1 hour to 3 or 4 hours. I told him to go for it and cash is king. We will see him on Tuesday (Monday is Thanksgiving).

Good morning, the low is 58 and the high to 63°F. It was raining, but has stopped for now. I've got the honey wagon coming today to pump out the septic tank. I get it done every year in the fall. Funny, my Dad built our house (1952) out in the country, the septic tank was about 25' from the...

There is more to it than a mere decision. I am scared skinny going down the road. I have never in 50 years of driving big trucks have I ever been as scared as I am now. It has gotten worse, not better since labour day weekend. That is the main reason why I am quitting. We will see how driving my...

Check with marine supply places, they usually sell Dometic.

None so far BUT I still have to run the gauntlet in Markham, so I wont count my chickens before they are hatched. Only got into the one accident and that is part of the reason I am retiring.

Joe Who? We had a Joe Clarke for a Prime Minister for a short time and we called him Joe who? And sometimes Who Joe.

Good morning, the temperature now is a balmy 60°F and going up to 70. Some rain coming around 10 or so. Depending on which weather channel I look at, I am looking at torrential rains for the next 4-5 days. I will still put the firewood in today. The wood is burn able dry, so any water that...

I just got the dreaded call...I go back to work tomorrow at noon. Bobtail up to the bay (1 hour) and pin my wagons and circle check (1 hour) load yet another hour and ride part way there to a town called Britt, ON. On the west side of Sturgeon Falls, ON there is a Mennonite restaurant that puts...

Frost advisory in effect for North Bay. Low 32 and the high to 73°F. Wind ENE 5 mph. Today until the dew burns off will be setting up the chain on the wood conveyor and see how much of the 16 cords I can get into the basement. This afternoon will be cutting the back lot. I couldn't cut it...

I found the pics of the damage that I can post. The first pic is looking forward from the rear of the pup. The second one is looking towards the rear of the train including the tridem under the joint. My tractor is behind me in the second pic. We are guessing about 50 grand parts AND labour...

The jug is dead. I am also smoking some good black hash. I wont have a hangover in the morning and if I do by some slim chance I will just fire up another bowl. I got a phone call this afternoon from my boss, I don't need to be anywhere until 'maybe' Sunday afternoon. I will stop smoking...

Good morning all, the temperature was right around freezing this morning in North Bay, ON. Got up at midnight and started the truck. Today was a non-eventful day, I am at home for a couple of days off. There is a 1/2 gallon of Kaluaha waiting for me to get done cutting the grass. Got into an...

Well that was quite the load. Delivered on tuesday and they didnt get to me until this morning...Rain. This stuff cannot go down in the rain, it will just wash right off the road. Only the one spray truck in operation and a bunch of little stuff. 8.5 hours unloading time, then run back to North...

Good morning, low temp is 57 and going to a high of 63°F. Wind ENE 8 mph. Rain at times heavy this afternoon. I think I will leave for the Bay at about 9 A.M. That will get me there for about 10 (I am 45 minutes south of North Bay.), grease my 5th wheels and get ready for a busy summer. Stay...

Got a call from the foreman I deliver to, he wants me to wait until about noon tomorrow and call him before I load. It appears that Timmins is expecting rain all week. I will go to North Bay anyway, if need be I will camp at the truck stop.

Good morning, the low temp is 52 and it is going up to 66°F. Wind NNE 6 mph. 30% chance of showers. 70% chance of rain for Timmins on Tuesday, the day I deliver. We cannot lay this stuff in the rain. The good thing is that I get paid either way. If we are rained out then I get 7 hours + the per...

Looks like it could be an awesome ice cream. Too bad I can't eat ANY dairy.

Get fried. I've got some really good :poop::ROFLMAO:

And you gotta maintain separation. Can't bundle it up nor roll it like an extension cord.

With twins, you need to use a coax the same length as the co-phased coax you will be eventually using and mount one antenna and the extra single coax and match that antenna. Then transfer the single coax over to the second antenna and match that one. 1.1 to 1 is optimal, BUT you will get out...

I have found in the past that one good (1 full wavelength) antenna gets out just as good as two. Duals are just more pleasing to the eye, but a huge pita to match. The truck I have has factory installed duals, all the coax is burried in the interior and the mirror brakets aren't the traditional...

Good morning, the low temperature is 55 and going up to 79°F. Wind SE 4 mph. 40% chance of showers. The blackflies will be hungry today. There are showers in the forecast for the next 5 days for home. There are 'special air quality statements' issued for both home and Timmins, due to smoke. I...

Happy Birthday King Chuckie.

I am back at home for the weekend (a rare occurrence for me). Someone on the Hwy 404 had a very bad day Wednesday morning at about 3. I guess from the carnage to their car they were really hauling a$$. Hit the barrier between the northbound and southbound lanes and then crossed over to the right...

Thanks guys, I will do the best I can with what I am given to drive. Dispatcher wanted me to go to Englehart for Tuesday morning. Then he found out I couldn't get into that particular plant to get the oil. I've got Monday and possibly Tuesday all tied up anyway doing stuff down there for me and...

RNG, if you can get about 10 or 15 grand knocked off MSRP and no add ons would you go for it?

Drew, you NEED a full width bumper AND a frame hitch. The receiver is mounted to the frame rails.

Good morning, the lower temp was 61 and we are going to see 75°F. Quite a bit cooler than the past two days. Wind ENE 10 to 20 mph. partly cloudy sky. BEF, that wreck looks nasty. How is the driver? Today is sorting and bag packing day. Back to the yard tomorrow morning about 4 A.M. It takes...

Good morning/almost noon, the high today is gonna be 84°F. Wind N 10-15 mph. Cloudy or partly cloudy today and this afternoon with a chance of a T-storm this afternoon late. I am not all that thrilled about a t-storm, but it can rain. I am slowly putting my stuff together in preparation for...

When I went out today I suddenly remembered that I had an order in Powassan that I forgot to get yesterday. I was in Powassan yesterday, too. Got some permethryn "for my horses". i don't have any horses, but it is sold for horses, so that is what I told the guy. I will treat my shirts when I get...

The lights went out here brown outs and flickers for about 1.5 hours. Made a mad dash running around the house to shut off juice to freezer, fridges (2), stove, sump pump, well pump my computer and his too. Juice came back on 15 minutes ago. That is the first time the hydro has gone out since...

Well my trip was uneventful, except for a few 'creative detours'. Seems a Day and Ross semi caught fire and exploded right at the bottom of the big hill (hwy 11) going north out of North Bay at 02:30 this morning. Driver and tractor O.K. Trailer not so good. Took the FD 4 minutes to get there...

Good morning, the low is 58 and the high going to 85°F. Wind SSW 10 to 15 mph. Sunny! Today is the monthly shopping trip to North Bay and a free order of ribs and sweet potato fries for lunch. He pays for lunch because I haul him up there and back. Only 6 stops on this tour. Have a safe day all

I think if you were to use a zip tie on the shoe of the fencing gun you could shoot staples a good distance with it.

1.076 million square kilometres I think translates to 415,600 square miles. If you started off at the Ontario/Quebec border and ran log book legal it would take you a day and a half to get to the Ontario/Manitoba border. Ontario is way bigger than Texas and almost as big as Alaska.

Kilroy, I have a pretty good idea where Sawing with Sandy may be located, but in the interest of his privacy I will not search him out. If you are interested in log home building AND living off grid, you might try "My Self Reliance" he is in Ontario, too. He is about 50 miles away from me. I...

I inherited my '55 Packard Clipper Super Panama (2 door hardtop) from my Grandfather. That is why I am so bitter because my x-wife got rid of it. "You love that car more than you love me". I got that on a regular basis. So, without committing adultery I let her get rid of me too. No kids, no...

Good morning, the low is 60 and the high going to 82°F. Wind SW 5 to 10 mph. Zero chance of precipitation. Sunny! Drew, I can be a cynical old schmuck at times. So if it sounds like that I don't mean to be. On backing up, If in doubt get off your a$$ and go look. I do that constantly when I am...

From 15:00 hrs to 18:00 hrs the temperature was 79°F Dropping down to 60 overnight. Tin work done, basement cleaned up, compost pile turned and 7 dead trees marked for felling. I am not confident enough to fell them myself. They are tall enough that if they come down with a stiff NW wind they...

Good morning, low temp 62 and the high to 78°F. Wind ESE 5 to 10 mph. Zero % chance of precipitation. Sunny! Bark cleanup and flip compost. I may cut the back grass again, but don't hold your breath. Back in the '70s I worked with a guy that had the numbers tattooed on his arm. Percy was a...

I was going to do this on Tuesday, but tomorrow we (junior and I) will be cleaning up the wood bark and what not in the basement. He will be shovelling the bark into 5 gallon pails and passing them to me out the window the wood comes in. I in turn will dump it into the loader bucket and dump it...

Finally, tin work done. Big 1/2" Makita drill punched all the remaining holes and never broke one drill bit. Hosed off the trough where the wood chain runs, lots of tamarack needles congregated there over the fall and winter. Stuffed it back where it will live until next fall when I put the...

Good morning, low temperature is 40 and the high they say to 81°F. Wind WSW 5 to 10 mph. Abundant sunshine! Zero precipitation. I will work on the tin until noon and that will be it for today. Then fire up tractor and fill in a couple of ruts I made in the spring with compost. It is on the...

The weatherman is a liar! Big time! Temperature here is 84°F. I am NOT baking my butt of doing manual labour in that heat. Tin work can wait until tomorrow morning. So today will be an energy conservation day. RS, are you living on a dug well? Have you ever thought of drilling one?

Good morning, the low temp was 45 and forecast to get to 74°F. Wind WSW 10 to 15 mph. Sunny! Went to bed last night about 9 and slept right through to 5:30 this morning. I haven't slept ALL night through for many years. Always up for a p at least once. I am going to use the big Makita...

I may use the big electric drill tomorrow. Sweet potato fries for supper. Oatmeal raisin cookies for desert. As for grease guns, I put the tube in and screw the cylinder in almost all the way, then pump until grease comes out where it is supposed to then screw the cylinder all the way down. I...

Those Dewalt batteries don't last long when you are trying to drill through 3/16" steel. I'll be back outside for more torture tomorrow, the V-plow is half done. All three batteries need to be charged up. Just stumbled on this; Weather Videos | Weather Underground

LS, somehow I don't think I will be seeing you at the Boston Marathon any time soon. You wont see me either. :giggle:

Good morning, the low is 45 and the high going to 68°F. Wind WSW 5 to 10 mph. Zero % of precipitation. I can handle that. After the town/dump run yesterday, I opted to do nothing. Had pancakes for supper with real maple syrup and promptly at 6:30 laid down for a power nap. Turned that into a...

Kioti is pretty proud of their seats.

Good morning, the low temp was 33 and the high going to 60°F. Wind NNE 5 to 10 mph. Zero % chance of precipitation. Drew, a longer tongue would solve that problem. Ron, nice wood pecker. This is the first pic I've seen from you in a couple of weeks. My 'puter didn't like TBNs formatting of...

The tin work didn't get done, BUT all the grass is cut. Took all of 1.5 hours. The z-turn is a mountain goat. Up 45° angle hills no problem. Energy conservation for the rest of the day.

Good morning, the low temp was 31, it is 34 now and going to a high of 51°F. Wind N 10 to 20 mph. Cloudy. It rained last night just like predicted. The pounding on my steel roof proved it. At a high of 51 for today I don't think I need to worry about bugs. The Thermacell mosquito repeller...

Well, the tree felling and stump removal went good. it was actually a little windy for tree felling but I encouraged the tree to go the way I wanted with the BH bucket. The tree was about 8 to 10" on the butt end. All the stumps are placed and she has some dirt to plant some flowers in as well...

Good morning, the low temperature is 53 and the high to 73°F. Wind SW 10 to 15 mph. Zero precipitation. A partly cloudy day. It will be plenty buggy today. My Thermocell bug deterrent works good though. The odd blackfly manages to nip my hands, but nothing I can't handle. I do have 'after...

Well, I didn't get as much accomplished as I had predicted. Got all the slash picked up and dealt with. 3 stumps dug out and placed for a stump fence across the front of her property (Privacy). A fourth stump is almost ready to come out, but its' roots are tangled with two other stumps and an...

Good morning, the low temp is 36 and the high to 66°F. Wind variable and light. Zero % chance of precipitation. Another good day for pulling/digging stumps. I'll go over at about 11, I would rather be there now, but the nearest neighbour is 200' away. Also the hired help (my stepson) doesn't...

BEF, the civil war has been over for 158 years and all of the people involved in it are dead. How come 'some' people in the 'states are still fighting it?

Newbury; At what point do we stop buying new tools? 3 days before they shovel dirt in our faces.

Most of my neighbours don't complain, but I don't want them to get the idea that they can. Although my road is still gravel (1/4 mile long) I don't take my snow chains off and I don't want the cops telling me I need to. Went over and dug out about 4 stumps all pine. The biggest one took me 2...

Good morning, the low temp is 47 and the high going to 62°F. Wind N 10 to 15 mph. 3% chance of rain. Being as it IS Sunday, I wont fire up the tractor until 11A.M. ( noise laws), the noise laws don't apply for snow removal but they do apply for stump removal. I think I will take my electronic...

Happy Victoria Day to all the Canucks here. It pissed down rain all day. Good news though is tomorrow will be dry. 15% chance of rain. I have some stumps at the neighbours to attack tomorrow and Monday. Kilroy, that is one nasty looking stump. Bed time, goodnight all

Drew, can you get your hands on some saltpetre or potassium nitrate? If yes, then punch a bunch of deep holes into your stumps and pour the saltpetre into the hole along with some water. The stump will rot away. The deeper the hole the better rot job. Kyle, car manufacturers might make some...

Good morning, the low temp is 52 and going to a high of 58°F. Wind SSE 5 to 10 mph. 100% chance of 1/4" of rain. There goes any thoughts of outside work today. I guess I will just putz around on the 'net all day. Have a safe day all

Good morning, the low temperature is 48 and the high to 70°F. Wind SW 10 to 15 mph. 90% chance of rain this afternoon. The grass seed I spread yesterday will get watered in good. Rain starting at 3 P.M. and continuing through the night and tomorrow. The rain will keep my tractor off the field...

Looks like a Farmall H, with miss matched tires on the rear.

Today was a good day. Got all the brambles, wild cherry trees (loaded with black knot) and wild raspberry canes cleaned out. Also the stump from the big tree that came down 3/4 years ago has rotted to the point of self destruction. Also turned the compost pile. This pile is NOT for veggies or...

Good morning, the low temp was 31 and it is going to a high of 49°F. Wind WNW 10 gusting to 15 mph. Zero % chance of precipitation. It is cool enough out that the bugs should still be hiding from the cold, I hope. Going to clean up the north side of the back yard today. Maybe hang my grease gun...

Good morning, the low was 29 and the high to 54°F. Wind N 10 to 15 mph. 80% chance of rain. I know what I am doing today and it isn't much. I will be hanging my grease gun hanger upper thingy today, 4 1/4" carriage bolts and that will be done. I have been up here for 29 years and I am a...

I'll bet the two horses made the decision for you. One jumped the fence. Might as well leave the gate open.

Well, I got one more piece of the conveyor done, the step drills ( Neiko NEIKO 10169A Step Drill Bit Set and Automatic Center Punch | 5 Piece, 41 SAE Sizes Total, 1/8” – 1-3/8” | Titanium High Speed Steel Unibit, Stepper Cone Drill Bit | Two Flute Step Down BitsNEIKO 10169A Step Drill Bit Set...

Good morning, the low temperature was 41 and it is going up to 68°F. Wind WSW 15 gusting to 25 mph. Zero chance of precipitation. Saturday after I got done cutting the grass, I found the blackflies 'got' me, twice. That is all it took. This old bod cannot handle blackfly bites/stings or...

Good morning, the low temp is 38 (a tad cool) and the high going to 62°F. Wind N 10 to 15 mph. Zero precipitation. Today IS the tin work on the conveyor. IF my step drill wont do the trick on the tin, then that job will wait until after Thursday. Can't do anything with the V-plow until I get...

I didn't do any tin work today, but I did cut back the wild choke cherry trees that the tent caterpillars like to nest in and cleaned up that side right down to the peat moss that grows naturally in the back 40. Also cut the grass front and north side. West side is too wet and too short on the...

txdon, if you can get D-earth then dust your potato plants with that. I will kill the bugs on the leaves.

Good morning, the low temp is 41 and it is going to a high of 62°F. Wind N 10 to 15 mph. Sunny. I am going to try to get the conveyor tin work done today. If I can't for whatever reason, then I'll get into the clearing recovery. That is about it for today, have a safe day all.

Drew, you don't think the NC bear would follow you to PA for all the good easy eats? :ROFLMAO: Tin job on V-plow 1/2 done. Broke 5, 1/8" drill bits. :( I gotta pre-drill the holes to get the self drilling/tapping screws in. I will get more next Thursday when I go to town again, gotta get...

Good morning, the low temp is 52 and it is going to 74°F. Wind NW 5 to 10 mph. Zero chance of precipitation. We are both up, so we should be outside by 9. If we can knock off the tin jobs (there are two of them) then we can get on with either the grass and bush recovery OR make a new screen...

I picked up 2 66 lb bags of stone mix cement today for $6.48/bag. Didn't get anything done with the tin work. Twas 77°F when I went to town, I don't do so good after 70°. 2 summers ago I got tangled up with a touch of heat stroke, now I insist on A/C in the truck and car. None in the house...

RNG, have you seen this?

Good morning, the low was 47, it is 57 now and going to a high of 75°F. Wind WSW 10 to 15 mph. Sunny! No precipitation. Was up at 5 for a p and went back to bed. Just got up to stay 15 minutes ago. I don't very often do that. Dump/town run today and I might get back on the tin work, now that I...

Kilroy, that little Saturn doesn't have enough power to get out of its' own way. None the less, an interesting experiment. Don't you hate it when you go to a hospital and ask for a diagnosis and the evasive ba$t@rds won't give a direct answer. That would be especially hard on the wallet in the...

Kilroy, if I can push over a 8" pine tree with my hoe on the Kioti, then I think you with the excavator can do at least a 12"er. Someone asked about my firewood, yes it is all hardwood, maple, oak, beech and a little yellow birch.

Kilroy, that is the way to go. Break it in with work. I think Kubota is pretty proud of their equipment, up here at the least. The temperature is 40 and going to a high of 71°F. Wind W 10-15 mph. Mostly sunny. Zero percent chance of precipitation. I can handle that. I have had degenerative...

Are you sure that was a milkshake? :eek::unsure:

You didn't buy it in order to bronze it did you? I have to assume that you bought it to work, and work it will.
