Drew, I had much the same experience as you way back when I was a young'un. It got so bad that I told the dentist NOT to freeze my face for a mere filling. He insisted and I walked out, second time he wanted to freeze my face I asked him if he was forgetful or stupid. I walked out again and...

sodamo, the sign in the barber shop; haircuts $10.oo, we repair home haircuts $20.oo. Maybe the welding shop will charge you less if they don't have to fix your repair?

Drew, the service providers going online saves them many fat lips. :ROFLMAO: All the good tin is cut off the three fridge doors, my back hurts, but that is normal after bending half over for two hours. tomorrow I will screw it onto the V-plow AND maybe the wood conveyor too. My 16 face cords...

and you didn't have to become a politician (liar). :eek:

I totally agree with you Kilroy. The same goes for up here.

Good morning, the low temperature was 40 and going to a high of 62°F. Wind NNW 5 to 10 mph. Zero precipitation. Nice hoe. Now the fun begins! I plan to retire in a couple of years. I don't think my retirement plan can afford an $80,000.oo machine, unfortunately. I don't know if I can float a...

Happy Birthday to Rons' son. My get up and go got up and went. Nothing will get done today until I find it again.

Good morning, the low temperature was 38 and the high to 60°F. Wind N 5 to 10 mph. Mostly sunny all day! I had better catch my get up and go before it leaves. More tin work today. Have a safe day all

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FRITS!!!

I was 15 when I got my first rifle, Lee-Enfield .303. I was also unmercifully bullied in school from age 13 through 17. NEVER did I ever think about taking my rifle and using it on other people. I don't have a problem with the gangs shooting up each other, but why do they have to involve...

Good morning, the low was 38, it is 54 now and going to a high of 65°F. Wind light and variable. 60% chance of rain, total accumulation 0.09". I cut the skin off refrigerator and freezers to use for any tin work I have here. That is my job for today, so it wont matter if it rains. It really...

I got both sides of the driveway cut back. Did it all with the hoe. Knocked a 6" Pine over after undermining a bit. I have been wanting to do that for years. Got a low down V notch cut in one of my dead trees that is now a widow maker. It is busted about 40' up. Where it is designed to fall it...

Good morning, the low is 45 and going to a high of 66°F. Wind light and variable. Zero % of precipitation. Partly sunny. I have some PITA trees (4" and less) that need to die. I am going to try and dig them out today. If I can get them out stump and all, then I can shove them back into the bush...

I would really like to know how a BH is supposed to go on in 30 minutes. It only took the two of us 2 hours to get that sucker on. But it is on and I cleaned out both ends of the culvert that I own. The township one at the road, they can earn their keep and clean it. Tomorrow is stump and small...

Good morning, the low is 42 and the high to 58°F. Wind light and variable. Mostly sunny. It is about time. Today I WILL put the hoe on and get on with some of the stump removal I have to do. Have a safe day all

Good morning, the low is 42 and the high to 50°F. Winds light and variable. 40% chance of showers. A town/dump run is in the cards for today and maybe pick up the bigger rocks in the driveway. Tomorrow will be BH for sure. The F350 is owned by a guy from Toronto, he has a cottage up here. He...

I am using Firefox on my PC and haven't had any trouble this morning or now, but I also keep the browser/PC on 24/7.

This was in Virginia. Watch live | Video and livestreams | CTV News

Good morning, the low temp is 42 and the high will be 59°F. Wind NNE 10 gusting to 15 mph. 80% chance of rain. I've got to go out today and get my lottery ticket for the next 6 months and get my wheel nuts retorqued. I am also looking at a F 350 about a '60 to '65 I think. I will get the mail...

Good morning, the low temp is 40 and the high to 48°F. Wind SE 5 gusting to 10 mph. 70% chance of rain. An unscheduled trip to town is in the cards for today, to replay my lottery ticket and re-torque my wheel nuts. The hoe is not going on today. From Saturday onwards the highs will be in the...

Good morning, the low is 39 and the high to 41°F. Wind SW 10 gusting to 20 mph. 100% chance of rain. I guess the BH wont be going on today. Another energy conservation day. Have a safe day all

That is the master switch key for a Caterpillar machine.

Popgadget, you can put a zip tie under the round part of the cam and that will tighten up the seal again. At least until you either get the fitting replaced or fix it yourself.

I believe those cam locks are rebuild able. Good morning, the low is 45 and only going to 46°F. Wind SE 10 gusting to 20 mph. Depending on how hard it rains, that will be the deciding factor on putting the hoe on. I have about 4 stumps to pull for the neighbour. Have a safe day all

Good morning, the low is 43 and the high going to 66°F. Wind SE 5 gusting to 10 mph. Partly cloudy. I lost a day somewhere during the week. Today I go to North Bay on the monthly shopping trip. Tomorrow I put the hoe on. The PO counter woman said the package wanted a signature and when I got...

Happy Birthday, LS! Twas a warmish day today at 53°F. Going up to 65 tomorrow. Got the driveway graded and some of the new pitrun laid onto it. Tomorrow is the BH. Then open up my culvert. I may knock down a few trees as well. I am slowly getting my job list whittled down. I called my...

Good morning, the low is 36 and the high to 53°F. Wind N 5 mph. 2% chance of rain. I am glad the gravel came yesterday in the rain. I didn't have to waste my water packing it all down. Next battle is the PO. I will do that while I am doing the dump/town run today. If I offended you check, I...

Might be, but ..

Ahh, the Ontario Provincial flower.

I agree with you, Drew. I will NEVER give the nazis a pass for what they did. I just got a notification from the PO that my package was undeliverable because 'no one was at home'. Well this no one was home ALL day and ALL night. Now they want an additional $1.95 to try and deliver it again. NOT...

Good morning, the low is 32 and the high to 43°F. Wind N 2 mph. 50% chance of flurries/rain. Drew, I agree whole heartily with you and Florida now has the lowest threshold for imposing the death penalty in the country, following Gov. Ron De Santis' signing of a new bill on April 20, 2023. The...

I guess I will have to call my gravel supplier tomorrow and see when he planned on delivering it. T'was supposed to be either yesterday or today. Note to self; call my foreman, I've been forgetting the call for the past 3 days. I called the PO this morning asking why I am getting a notice to...

Good morning, the low is 31 and the high to 42°F. Wind N 2 mph. Light snow this morning, giving way to light rain this afternoon. Winter just will not quit this year. The snow we got last night was only 1/2". No gravel yesterday, hopefully today, but I am not holding my breath. I have lots of...

Good morning, low 34, high 39°F. Wind N 4 mph. 45% chance of snow/showers all day today and tomorrow. IF the gravel comes today, I can place and roll it in the rain. Nothing else will get done. I'm not sure what else I will get up to today. Have a safe day all

I had to switch weather providers this morning. weather.gc.ca wouldn't load for me, might be because the blue collar workers are on strike. So I went to weather underground. Seems pretty good so far. It recognizes that I live in a small community outside a small town. It is still North Bay...

Low today 36 and a high of 43°F. Wind N 10 mph. Rain. I might as well go back to bed, can't work outside. Have a safe day all

Low temp tonight will be 36 and more rain in forecast. The hydraulic shop was closed, but buddy was in the back getting some stuff for a brake job. Told him what I needed and he sold me two 45° fittings for $10.oo. No paperwork because the computers were shut down. ;) Told him I didn't go...

Good morning, the low is 40 and the high to 48°F. Wind NE 8 mph. Periods of rain. A dump/town run is on for today. The bushings in the rear of the Dodge that were supposed to be replaced didn't need it. They were just loose. On the frame hoist they looked bad, but when put on the wheel hoist...

Jay, you might be able to find a tail light lens at the wreckers/salvage yard or whatever you call them.

Drew, Amazon sells red tail light tape. It is really sticky.

Good morning, the low is 35 and the high to 50°F. Wind E 20 mph. Showers. I will probably work on the plow today. Way back in the 1970s, my girlfriend at the time told me she had eaten rattlesnake and it tasted like chicken. I've never had the opportunity. There is nothing I hate worse than...

Good morning, low temp is 26 and going to a high of 46°F. Wind NNE 2 mph. 40 % chance of showers, sunny right now. I didn't get the car back yesterday, nor did I get a phone call saying they were keeping it overnight. I will get on their backs this morning, shortly. Kilroy, any woman that you...

Good morning, the low dipped down to 23 and the high today they say will be 43°F. Wind W 9 mph. 40% chance of flurries. I priced out pit run yesterday, $200.oo/load and it is 1/2 load season. That only means that you don't load up full, just about 3/4 of what you would normally haul. It'll be...

Good news Drew! Temperature up here is going down to 28°F tonight.

bef, can you back the trailer up towards a white wall? If yes then you could do that in the daylight and when it gets dark go out and stomp on the brake pedal. The brake lights will shine onto the wall and you should be able to see them.

Good morning, the low is 32 and going to a high of 37°F. Wind SSE 6 mph. Flurries/rain all day. There was some green grass showing here and there. Everything is all white again. The only thing left to do before the Dodge goes to the shop is get the money out to pay for it. That'll be another...

Gonna be a little cooler tomorrow 35 &37 and flurries/rain. We'll see.

Scaredy, I agree with the others. You need to lawyer up. A lawyer on your side will hopefully keep you from being screwed over. I see nothing 'wrong' with that wall. It sure beats letting all that scrap wallboard go into the dump.

Drew, what did you eat for supper? It sure sounds like food poisoning. Kilroy, if you want your dog to sleep all night and crash without any theatrics, keep it up all day. Don't let it sleep/snooze/power nap at all during the daytime. We do this with new cats after they have left the kitten...

Good morning, the low was 40 and going to 45°F for today. Wind SW 11 mph. Showers. If the showers are light enough I will probably fire up the z turn and run it for a bit to burn off the 6 month old high test. There is my game plan for today. Have a safe day all

LS; A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. I would get the mulch now.

Drew, I can understand your 'acid trip'. Did lots of it back in the day. Not no more though. I can honestly say that I haven't done any since I saw Pink Floyds flying pigs at Maple Leaf Gardens waaaayyyy back when. The day ended up with company coming over and we frittered away the day bsing...

Good morning, the low temp is 54 and going to a high to 73°F. Wind E 6 mph. Sunny! check, time to put the boat into the water. I think I may dedicate the day to getting the z-turn running. Have a safe day all

Pulled the battery out of the Z-turn at noon today. Charger said it was at 80%, after sitting outside all winter. Not bad. Put it on charge and at 4 P.M. it was 100%. Stuffed it back in the mower. Most of the work was done on my knees with the arm rest supporting my chest. It is easier on my...

Good morning, the low is 51 and the high to 73°F. Wind E 9 mph. Sunny! I think today will be a recharge the Z-turn battery day. If I can get the Z-turn running tomorrow, then I will kick the Dodge out of its' shelter and put the Z-turn in. The only reason I keep the Dodge in a shelter, is...

Welcome to GM, PAMM. LS, those are the kind of squats I do. Cleaned out the ditch on the east side of the driveway culvert, the flow picked up a tiny bit. The west side is open and the water is still over 1/2 way up the culvert. That culvert is over 29 years old (we have been here for 29 years...

Good morning, the low is 44 and going to a high of 63°F. Wind ENE 14 gusting to 20 mph. Sunny! The township ditch and culvert needs cleaning out today. The East side has barely any water running out and the west side is 3/4 full. I will make a place for the water to run on the east side, then...

Not legal here. ANY auxiliary tank must be bolted to the bed. The law calls them 'slip tanks'. Besides, I need to score the pickup, first. We got up to 75 today. Found out the A/C in the Dodge needs recharging and the garage I deal with cannot do it. Well, my windows open and I've got 4 of...

Good morning, the low temp is 49 and it is supposed to hit 70°F today. Wind S 6 mph. Sunny! The snow tires come off the Dodge next Wednesday and the following weekend the back hoe can go on the tractor. Until then it is a dump/town run today. I think I have a way to get an extra hydraulic port...

Forgot to mention it earlier, but I saw a wild turkey in the field today. Sure hope there are more than just the one.

$40.oo Canuck buck is worth $0.74 US dollars. RNG, txdon got pure Canadian Maple Syrup. Advertising and consumer laws in both the US and Canada forbid advertising 'Pure Canadian Maple Syrup' if it isn't pure. The brown sugar and water stuff is called 'table' syrup. The 2023 gallon arrived and...

No union. I have made it a habit NOT to open any links on the company phone. I only know 3 people in the company that I trust. I don't even trust el presidente and I have known of him for 20 years. Drew, for your small critters and the electric fence, chicken wire. Wire tie it to the 'hot'...

Good morning, the low was 41 and headed for a high of 55°F. Wind SSW 9 mph. A mix of sun and cloud. I'm off to a little town about 2/3 of the way to Sudbury, called Warren, ON. There is a Mennonite store there that I get my unpasteurized honey from. They have a lot of other food stuff there...

Drew, if you want to check on the strength of your electric fence, p on it.

Good morning, the low is 33 and the high going to 50°F. Wind S 5 mph. 30% chance of showers. Winters back is broken. I watched Queen Es coronation on my grandparents TV. We didn't get one until 1958 when I broke my knee. I don't 'get it', the company tells us not to open links from people we...

That is what I thought, but I didn't want to sound disrespectful. I call him Chuckie when he was a prince I called him Bonnie Prince Charlie. I take it you weren't invited to the Coronation either? I wasn't invited to Queenies coronation either.

Good morning, the low temp is 26 and it is supposed to go to a high of 50°F. Wind WSW 3 mph. Foggy. Tonight is forecast to be the last night of below freezing termperatures for a while. Wagtail, " Mate, after all these years you have to know that we Aussies shorten words then (usually) add...

bef, what was pebbles eating? Cats stomachs are more delicate than they let on. Milk and milk products will go right through them.

Good morning, the low temp was 19 and the high for today will be about 39°F. Wind SE 2 mph. Sunny!! I think I will get outside today and convince some of the ice on the driveway to vacate. I will also try to cut the snow piles down some. Have a safe day all

Good morning, the low temp was 10 it is now 20 and going to a high of 35°F. Wind W 15 gusting to 30 mph. 30% chance of flurries. My gravel supplier is on holidays, but when he gets back I will see what he wants for a couple of loads of pit run (pit run gravel is dug straight out of the bank and...

rs, if you don't much like the stink of fish cooking cut an orange in half across the segments and put half in a small saucepan about half covered in water cut side down and set that on low heat on a back burner of the stove. I found out about that a few years ago when a Newfie was cooking cod...

Good morning, the high today might get to 32°F. Wind WSW 20 gusting to 34 mph. 30 % chance of flurries. The drive home was a car washing gully washer. Freezing rain at home, but I wasn't here. I actually got up at 7 this morning, spent 2.5 hours on a module for the company regarding cyber...

The only event on the northbound North Bay trip was a clown that passed me when I had the cruise set at 72 mph. (Roads were dry.) About 5 miles farther up the road I was right on his a$$ so I went out to go around him. He sped up, kept me in the passing lane, but not for long. The V6 3.7 L VVT...

Drew, you might try corn meal for your ants. A winter storm watch for us starting tomorrow afternoon and continuing through Saturday. They are threatening up to a foot. I am still leaving Sunday morning for my annual medical and the start up meetings on Monday and Tuesday.

Belated Happy Birthday, Mrs. RichB1

I'm sorry for your loss, Don. Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is...

How many months will that 170.5 gallons last you?

Good morning, the low temp is 28 and going to a high of 32°F. Wind SSE 5 mph. Flurries, a couple of inches of them. Depending on how deep the snow is at 4 P.M., that will be the deciding factor on my plowing today or waiting till tomorrow. For the next 12 hours I will just watch the snow...

Good morning, the low is 21 and the high is gonna be about 43°F. Wind NE 3 mph. Partly sunny. I think I may remove more of the windbreak in front of the house today, maybe. Might just watch the snow melt instead. It really sucks to watch a pet/companion go downhill like Whipper is doing...

Good morning, the low temp is 20 and the high going to 34°F. Wind ENE 2 mph. Mix of sun and cloud. I scraped the three inches of snow off everybody else yesterday and then myself. Got some of the big pile in front of the house moved. I put it in front of the house to make a sort of windbreak...

We got a couple of inches of snow. More to come overnight. The powers that be are still threatening 6-8". Whatever comes I am ready for it. Got my cookies and that is all that matters. When I had my Maine Coon, at bedtime she would lay on the corner of the bed where I put my feet. I would move...

Happy Birthday! buckeyes' Dad. Thank you for your service. Mine would be 101 in June R.C.A.F. Armourer When I was in Florida I was more worried about coral snakes and scorpions than I was gators. The story goes that my grandmother got up one Sunday morning and found a scorpion on the living...

Got the town/dump run done and washed the Dodge too. Came back and on the way took a look at the driveways I look after and spent about 45 minutes of one of them scraping 6" of slush off it. Cut a 45° angle into the sides of my driveway right down to the ice in the hopes that I can get the...

When I drove Mom and Dad down to Florida in 1973 (Dad had took a heart attack and Dr. wouldn't let him drive) we had an inside flat on the drivers side. The outter tire came off easily but the inner didn't want to come off at all. Being as I was experienced at doing dump truck tires I just...

I had a frozen culvert about 25 years ago.

Kilroy, I vote for regular anti-seize. I don't do Morse code. But I bet there are people here that do.

Political correctness is going a little bit too far, IMHO. Pretty soon our texts will look like this, **** *******. **** * **** ****** ** **** **** ******** **.

Good morning, the low temp is 6 and going to a high of 23°F. Wind NE 8 mph. 30% chance of flurries. The ICW is as smooth as glass this morning. I am going to stay inside and nurse this cold. So far it is mostly in my head. The barking stopped as quickly as it started. Have a safe day all

Income tax paperwork all organised and I'll send it off in the mail when I go to town. I made more than I should have and that might come back to bite me in the but with one of the goobermint pensions. We'll see. I am tossing around the idea of starting a new company. A frozen precipitation...

Kyle, I have one of these for my hot running Toshiba laptop.https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/coolers/notebook-cooler/notepal-u2-plus-v2/

Good morning, the low temp is 18 and going to a high of 30°F. Wind N 9 mph. 30% chance of flurries. Looks like it is going to be partly cloudy all week. Our annual 'start up' meetings are April 3 & 4, so I will go and get my drivers' license medical out of the way on the 2nd. Yes, I know the...

Condolences regarding your brother, Lou. One would think with all the eye candy in the hospital, you would want to hang around there some more.

Nissen huts require an interior frame. Q-huts do not. I can get a Q-hut 52x28', but it IS pricey. Maybe it is a Canadian thing.

When flying, I never unfasten my seatbelt. Loosen it yes, but never unfasten it.

Good morning, the low temp is 16 and the high to 30°F. Wind N 14 gusting to 23 mph. Increasing cloudiness. Nice moon shot. I got a e mail of money Sunday and couldn't deposit it into my bank account. Had to wait until yesterday to talk to the help line from the bank. Within 5 minutes all was...

Kilroy, unless your new oil breather is made of plastic, I would suggest some anti-seize grease on the fill pipe.

Good morning, low 20, high 36°F. Wind NE 5 mph. Sunny! I can handle that. Mountains look pretty with snow on them. I'm not sure what I will get up to today, maybe energy conservation day. Have a safe day all

check, your movie didn't work for me. :( Cleaned up a driveway today and scored a new customer. There is only two driveways on this road I don't do. Just finished watching the St. Valentines Day massacre with Jason Robarts, again.

Good morning, the low temp is 24 and the high to 43°F. Wind S 5 mph. 30% chance of flurries. I managed to get almost 10 years out of a Shelter Logic Alpine shelter. I have replaced the roof on the other two once or twice, but this one is almost as old as my Kioti. I think the trick is to keep...

There is nothing like baling wire for fixing exhaust systems. Got all my plowing done, my banks shoved right back to the bush in preparation for the next snowfall. Did the other 5 driveways I look after. Now for the you tube rabbit hole.

Good morning, low temp 23 and the high to 36°F. Wind E 11 mph. Periods of snow. Snowing right now and we've got almost an inch. Block heater turned on. If nothing else this place could use some cleanup. Have a safe day all

Good G-d, you expect the newer truck drivers to be able to read??? They are blindly following GPS. In days past a certain Canadian trucking company would route their driver via Rand-McNally maps (designed for cars) via the shortest route. They quickly learned that their system didn't work. Any...

Why did I get this regarding my morning post? "This message is awaiting moderator approval, and is invisible to normal visitors."

Good morning, the low temperature is 6 and going to a high of 34°F. Wind E 9 mph. Sunny! Snow for us beginning this evening about 4" expected. Winter storm warning for Toronto, yeah them. I wonder if the mayor will call out the Army. (Inside joke) About noon I will do the dump and town run, I...

North Bay trip done and dusted. Roads were wet to partially snow/slush covered (about 1/4"), but it didn't stop me from doing 65-70 mph. Coming back south the roads were mostly dry. Paid $1.399/Litre ($5.288/US gal) for regular gas. 53 Litres co$t me $75.oo. I am really happy that I don't have...

Good morning, the low is 25 and going to 28°F. Wind N 11 gusting to 20 mph. 60% chance of light snow, no accumulation. Checked the torque on the tractor wheels yesterday, they were right on the money. 166.5 'lbs rear. Didn't check the fronts. Today is the North Bay trip. Hopefully that goes...

I think that would cripple NH.

Good morning, the low is 19 and going to a high of 37°F Wind calm. A mix of sun and cloud. I'm not sure what I will get up to today, but rest assured it wont be much. Have a safe day all

For you guys in Australia that hardly ever see snow.

Happy Birthday Mrs. M7040! Snow storm over, got 3" or so. I'm off to plow some of it.

Good morning, the low is 18 and the high to 28°F. Wind ESE 16 gusting to 22 mph. Snow. The snow has been downgraded from 4" overnight and another 4" today to 2 overnight and another 2" today. IF I plow it will be latter like about 2 or 3 this afternoon. That way the guy that works nights will...

This customer will be taking his tractor to that shop for everything I can't do myself. I will still get my parts through the Kioti dealer, but the work will be done by a McCormick dealer. IF I had known that he sold McCormick, I would have bought from him in 2012 instead of the Kioti.

The snow storm that was supposed to start at midnight tonight is arriving early. Snow starting about 10P.M. and lasting until noonish tomorrow. I think you all know who will be plowing tomorrow afternoon. Brace yourselves, I have tallied up the repair bills for the busted hydraulic line...

Good morning, the low is 6 and the high is going to 23°F, wind ENE 8 mph. Mainly sunny. Off to Powassan today to pay the tractor repair bill. I was supposed to do it tomorrow, but there is more snow coming tonight and I will be plowing. The North Bay trip is postponed until Thursday. There is...

I was in the Smokie mountains and asked for directions from a good old boy. He asked me what made me think he would tell a dam Yankee anything, as I was getting two cokes from his machine which I paid for and gave him one, I said to me you are all Yankees. Y'all aren't from around heah. He asked...

Got it all done for today.

You beat me to it, Lou.

It is good that you found the problem, just leave the cap on loose. You really didn't need another tank, just a cap.

Good morning, the low temp was 23 and going up to 27°F. Wind SW 9 mph. 40% chance of flurries. I'll go out about noon and plow again today. More snow coming Tuesday. Ron, can you see where the vent hole is on the tank side of the cap? If yes, then use a meat skewer to poke out whatever debris...

Good morning, the low is -1 and going to a high of 19°F above zero. Wind ESE 6 mph. Flurries, a couple of inches today and again tonight. I guess I will be plowing tomorrow. Have a safe day all

Weather forecast has changed. Going to -17°F tonight.I'm off to bed. Good night all

Dump and town run done. I didn't plow. The Moroso hydraulic oil heater came in and it is 1.5 inches too short and the diameter of it is 0.625". About 1/8" too fat. I will keep it as I can use it in the one gallon engine oil jugs for when I change the oil. The temperature tonight is going down...

:eek:RNG, are you saying that you gotta pay tax on the 'relief payments'? I will just bet that the payments come in at about 40-50% LESS than what the materials will cost to rebuild. They've got you coming and going.

Good morning, the low temp is -11and going to a high of 14°F. Wind NW 4 mph. Sunny. One more night of single digit temps and then we will warm up to just below freezing. A town/dump run is in the cards for today. I may plow out this place, I haven't decided yet. Have a safe day all

daugen, when I had my Jeep Wrangler, I was consistently getting 24-25 mpg which is pretty good for a vehicle that is as aerodynamic as a phone booth. I put that down to smooth driving AND a K&N air filter. Only cleaned the filter once a year. Didn't replace them, just hose them off with water...

daugen, a dirty air filter will filter better than a clean one, but will make your engine work harder for the air it gets. It is a trade off, which do you want? Cleaner air going into the engine or better fuel mileage. Personally, I go for the better mileage. If I was in your boots, I would...

Good morning, the low temp is 6 and going to a high of 14°F. Wind NE 13 gusting to 22 mph. Snow ending near midnight. About 4" or so. I will go and plow the neighbours at about 3 P.M., that should hold them until I get back from the dump/town run on Friday. Condolences to the Smith family...

Plowing all done until tomorrow. Depending on how much we get I will either go out about noonish or wait until about 3, then go out. I also watch the weather radar. I think I will get a new bucket next summer, one with a straight edge for plowing snow. I have a hydraulic oil heater ordered from...

Good morning, the low is -1 and the high to 16°F. Wind E 7 mph. Sunny today and snow tonight. I will go out and plow at least the windrows today. By the time this one is over we could get as much as 3.5-4". Whatever happened to the real snowstorms we used to get? A foot at a time. Something you...

We have an Alberta clipper and a Colorado low joining up.It could be interesting to say the least. Freezing rain and snow for southern Ontario and straight up snow for us in the north. At least I am hoping for snow.

You and me too, Lou. I run and reroute circuits, but I will NOT touch 220V.

LS, visiting the place WITHOUT the agent will net you more.You wont have him/her babbling in your ear.

If not today then maybe on Thursday. There is a soft spot in my head for the Clydesdales, we had them at the farm. Kinda brought a tear to my eyes when the horse went down and couldn't get up. So happy when it eventually got up. BEF, you cat is making a game out of it. He thinks he has...

Our snow storm has started. Got 1/2" so far but the radar shows much more to come. Block heater already turned on. Canadian Weather Radar - Environment Canada

Good morning, the low is 8 and the high to 32°F. Wind ESE 19 gusting to 26 mph. The powers that be still think it will snow today and tonight. Until there is enough snow to plow, I will be conserving energy. Ron, what are the odds that the second tree rat is a male and the first one a female...

You haven't seen a messy basement until you've seen mine. lol I believe in 'judge not lest you be judged'.

bef, did you post the video to youtube? daugen, I am on Toyo snow tires which I hate and Continentals in summer. 4" of snow coming tonight and more on Thursday. I'm ready, hydraulics all fixed up for the next ten years, tractor full of fuel. I will turn on the block heater when I get up in the...

Good morning, the temperature is upside down again today. 27 now and going down to 18°F. Wind NNW 16 gusting to 23 mph. 30% chance of flurries. Buckeye, the cat certainly is persistent. I guess you will have to put a piece of plywood up the truss to the floor to keep the cat out. An energy...

Thanks for the vid m7040 Wow! Shaft drive in 1919!

Good morning, low 25, high 34°F. Wind SE 6 mph. Snow today and tonight, but only an inch. I think today will be an energy conservation day. Have a safe day all

Popg, busy buck. I counted 16 does and a buck. We should be so lucky. Do they stay around for hunting season?

Good morning, the low temperature is 8 and the high to 27°F. Wind S 11 mph. 60% chance of flurries. I might go back to bed in a couple of hours. Nothing else planned for today. Have a safe day all

But gas was cheap, back then. It is 313 miles from Toronto, ON to Montreal, PQ. I could do it in 3.5 hours flat, but I had to 'get with the program and stay with the program', and hopefully not get busted for speeding. The whole trip was 60 mph road, but the speed limit signs up here are merely...

Went out at 11:45 to plow 6" of fluffy white snow and got back in at 16:30, this place and my usual 5 plus one extra I am doing while he is on holidays. 60% chance of flurries tonight and tomorrow. You tube rabbit hole here I come for the rest of today.

Good morning, the low temp is 12 and going to a high of 16°F. Wind NNE 9 gusting to 12 mph. Light snow. The forecast last night was for 4" and we go that. I will go out and plow about noon today. The neighbour lady that trades food for plowing made pizza last night. Way better than store...

Any animal and this goes for people too, that you think of or talk of that is no longer with you is still alive in your heart.

Good morning, the high temp for the day is 20 and it will be going down to 18°F. Wind NW 15 gusting to 23 mph. 40% chance of flurries. An upside down day for sure. A dump/town run is in the cards for today and take a look at a couple of used trucks. Have a safe day all

check, brace yourself...going down to zero F (-18C for you) and snow. Maple syrup season is going to take a beating around here again this year. Good thing I have a gallon left over from 2020.

PJ, sorry to hear about your dog. This is what we believe; Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run...

Good morning, the low temperature is 37 and the high to 41°F. Wind SE 16 gusting to 24 mph. Rain and it is raining now. Dipping down to 10 tonight. I will be going out and cleaning up some windrows today. Tomorrow, I will be incorporating into the dump and town run a look at a new to me 2014...

Junior is cleaning the ice and snow build up off the roof today. Ice is about 2.5" thick and about a foot of snow on top of that. The rumble of the ice coming down the roof scares the stuffing out all 5 cats. It is a steel roof on a 6/12 pitch. There are two chimneys on the lower side of the...

Good morning, low temp is 16 and the high going to 37°F. Wind SW 2 mph. Sunny! I'm up way too early compared to when I went to bed, midnight. I can go back to bed and most likely will as I won't be going out to plow until noon. Kilroy, And that nobody under $400G would have their taxes go up...

We take your 'less than 20 bux' and add on 35% exchange on the U.S. buck, then add duty + 13% tax, then 17.oo shipping, total all that up and then add another 13% Gouge and Screw Tax. The product itself was $31.34 The exchange and duty is already added into the purchase price, but shipping on...

Good morning, the low temperature is 27 and going to a high of 32°F. Wind SE 9 mph. 60% chance of flurries. popgadget, I ordered a can of the stuff you recommended, $53.oo including tax and freight from a company in Burlington, Ontario. There was only 4 places in Canada that carried it and...

ken, I did move it sslowlyy. Was going to attach it with screws, then changed my mind mainly because this location is temporary, used zip ties instead. Got my two 1 gallon hydraulic oil containers refilled. Moved the SMV sign, topped off the tractor hydraulics and scraped the driveway again...

Drew, fountain of youth = St. Augustine, FL.

Good morning, the low temp is 29 and the high going to 37°F. Wind W 7 mph. 30% chance of flurries. I have some oil to transfer today and a SMV sign to move. I also have to find my electrical contact cleaner. My ignition switch is giving me grief again. If I can't find it, does anyone know of a...

or a box of beer. rs, it is good to hear you got the drip stopped. I got all the plowing done, including the new one that I only have until the 20th. One lady I plow for has a shed roof that dumps onto the path that I push the snow over a bank. She had forewarned me that the shed roof had...

Good morning, the low temp is 2 and the high going to 32°F. Wind NW 3 mph. Sunny! Today will be a good day to clean up the messes of the past week. I also have an extra driveway to look after while the owner is on holidays. I did some backhoe work for him about 3 years ago and he wants more...

LS, a cold usually takes 10 days to run its' course. Got the tractor back today at 5 P.M. It gets dark (sundown) at 5:37 P.M., so tomorrow at about 7:30 A.M. I will go out and start it up. I plan to be plowing at 7:45 A.M. No word on how much, other than the parts prices I already stated. I did...

Good morning, the low temp is 30 and it is going down to 28°F for a high today. Wind NW 11 mph. Periods of snow. It started raining yesterday around noon, changed to freezing rain and has now changed over to snow. No word on the tractor, yet. Maybe today. Until the tractor gets back it is an...

Good to know about hydraulic pressures and steel lines. Yes, the line broke right on the seam. The tractor has been stuck more than a few times where I had to pry myself out with the bucket, usually in dirt but have also done it in snow. The hydraulic filter mounts higher than the lines and the...

Ron, I think I will try to fit a skid plate to the underside. That is only 1 hydraulic line in 10 years of ownership, so I don't think that is really too bad. I am going to talk to a buddy that has a tubing bender and see if he can bend small diameter (5/8" I think or whatever the metric...

Good morning, the low temp is 27 and the high to 32°F. Wind ESE 6 mph. Snow mixed with ice pellets. Risk of freezing rain. I have been tracking this system from Texas. Tractor and parts are all at the repair guys' place. He will have to take the loader and loader sub frame off on the one side...

Good morning, low temp 29 and going to a high of 30°F. Wind NW 8 mph. Partly sunny. Hopefully the parts come in today and I will run down to Orillia to get them. It is only a 2 hour run one way. Ya, I know, courier would be cheaper, but I am faster. Other than waiting for the parts, I have...

Furnace oil (#1 diesel) cost me $1241.38 in total for 580.3 L (153.5 US gals) or $2.14/L ($8.09/US gal). The price has come down some, but it needs to come down a lot more for my liking.

Good morning, the low temp is 17 and going to a high of 36°F. Wind SE 15 gusting to 22 mph.Periods of snow/ rain. I have made the executive decision that I will replace two of the hydraulic hard lines now. The one that is leaking and the one beside it. A 20L pail of Hy Tran hydraulic oil will...

LS, two words...Hot toddies. rs, how about 1/2 'n' 1/2 acetone and ATF?
