So very sorry for your loss. What a difficult time. Praying that you have comfort in the difficult days ahead.

My wife and I stayed at The Dutch Mill Inn in Lynden Washington, for a few days during our honeymoon in June 1996. Very nice rooms.

I have used my cheap $15 Coleman multi-tool (15 tools) quite regularly in the two weeks since I've had it. Now at least I know that a multi-tool is something that will be valuable to me, and used regularly. Today, I gave it a real workout. Sadly, the Coleman camping multi-tool was NOT up to...

I read the title of the thread, and before the posts opened up I was thinking ... 1) large dog(s) doing their business - liquid effort 2) buried / former septic tank, dry well, septic field area 3) a prankster 4) aliens Sounds like you figured it out, and I am just arriving late to the...

rswyan - sorry for you loss

Good Morning, and I'm catching up again ... almost got the GMC Tracker running yesterday. replaced an o ring. there is still a need to get pressure in the fuel line. Still the mystery with the El Camino. Had an interesting evening with the ice cream crew ... checking out the custom built...

tragic, condolences this is also why I wouldn't want to tamper with a wood chipper to modify/enlarge it's capacity, chip size etc (see other thread) clothing and caution

EXACTLY

Do they have a choice ? I wouldn't do that. Give a little now, it will be an acre later (so to speak), not to mention the Health Hazards / Implications of having all that "energy" near you. Associated Migraines etc would make it impossible for my wife. oh, and they would need general...

the wobbily pops aluminum cans, get shredded down to a dime where i live :) every few months i have enough dimes for lunch money

i've had it running a few times, and that has been fun. it sounds pretty aggressive :) i am still searching for a mower deck, grille etc. but that is low priority at present... i have some sources looking also. there is a young teen on Vaancouver Island who has made a business / hobby...

I'm glsd that things are getting resolved for MHarryE. Thank you for the Follow Up Notes, I appreciate that. I have ONLY had my BX23S for coming up 4 yrs. That said, I have had no complaints about my Kubota dealer and have known them for 40 years. Tenant was doing some tractor work 2 yrs...

i got through the day ... yay me !!! bsck to bookkeeping

It's been a long day Bookkeeping and errands around the place this morning Celebration Of Life, most of the afternoon. Sitting took a lot out of my back, so I took some back / muscle pills, and that tends to make me drowsy, woke up when a client walked into the house. Now to feed the...

TOO MUCH DUST ... difficult to see through it all :) couldn't the building demolition have been done without sacrificing that nice large tree ? job site looks pretty clean, glad that all debries and tripping hazards were removed can't do much about the wires, they are far enough away the...

Greetings from Shuswap, BC Canada. 🇨🇦 Welcome to the TBN community and forum

I'm pretty sure that in about 1972 when I was 8, I received a Captain Burl Ives Greatest Hits vinyl album. It was my FIRST album that was personally mine, and I kinda cherished it.

I have errands to run today ... - coffee first while I scan this thread a bit - scraps pickup at Salv Army - appointment - shopping for a thermometer to put in the incubator as a back-up - maybe coffee with a friend while I am in town - check on my zero-turn - mail to send out - egg sales /...

Good Morning I'm hopelessly behind in this thread ... like 12 pages. I hope that all are well, prayers continue as needs noted. Did another dump run on Monday (twice the load of the week before) ... $5.00 min, that's more like it Trying to catch up, bear with me :) Back in the high temps here

I think our 150 lb Anatolian Shepherd would not even flinch if it walked through the radius border of our PET SAFE (?) wireless fence, in pursuit of chasing off the bear that resides here. has a headquarters transmitter, special dog collar(s), about 100 marker flags (for training and measuring...

Good Morning (though for me it's still night). It was an interesting Saturday. Began with the Men's Breakfast from our church. Probably 40 of us went to a local cafe, ran by church members, and had a good breakfast. The adjoining motorcycle museum was open also and some of the guys went...

Some of my 60 + chickens are named, and they know who they are :) They understand short phrases... get out (of the garage), get off of the car, come here, get lost, leave the dog alone, dinner is in an hour ... the looks are hilarious. They're favourite respone / phrase to me is Feed Me. I love...

Wife is, Not me. I'm just trying to manage the current, and pay bills, reduce debt

I'm still going with the chicken ... referencing Genesis 1 (NIV) 20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and...

I have been looking for a 20-22 ft car hauler trailer. Just saw a trailer posted for $2500 and I sent a message, for more details. I think it is probably only a 16 footer though. I hope to have a look at it today.

is hunting with guns effective, or even permitted ? I know that they have been thinking about this problem / solution for years. they must be destroying crops, fencing etc - uggh all the best

are ya achin', for some bacon ? that's pretty bad, almost like a rodent problem I hope that there is a reasonable and quick solution. Good design on your trap, way to go.

Update - they are sending me a reimbursement, not sure how much. Because I paid by DEBIT, they are sending a CHEQUE, that is the only way that the Finance Department can process it. Little Victories ... mostly on principle. Had they not chewed me out at the dump scale, and told me not to...

When I bought the Kubota, it was a fine decision between that and a Kioti CK2610 with FEL and BH. I was really impressed with both, had some seat time on both, and in the end decided Kubota, because of the dealership connection that I had established. Both dealerships were an hour's drive away...

That must be farmer-talk for something that I haven't figured out ... Heat, Humidity, Hydration, Hurricanes, Hills ...

Good Morning Everyone, 2 solid days of rain behind us, hopefully nicer day today. The ice cream cruise must go on, on Friday Nights. More bookkeeping coming in ... somehow I need to find a way to stagger that a bit. Nothing for months, then three new / and late filings brought over this week...

perhaps you need to remove the MAGNET from the front of your car :) ... kidding Sigarms - #1 road map book over google maps anyday #3 is a chronic problem everywhere #7 we see a few of those here in BC also

We had an attached 30 x 30 double garage / large deck built about 8 years ago. I was at work when the concrete was poured, so I have no idea how thick the concrete floor is. (?) The 2 bays are suitable for vehicles, they have standard 8 x 12 ft doors, but I never considered putting a hoist...

Awesome Offer, I almost want to get a KIOTI now just because.

this is a BAD POST :)

Mostly - hoping that I don't need Plan B to get wife home. she can hopefully drive and go, in a few days ... several details to sort yet rain and thunder today, sun and rainbows gotta get back to the office work ... everyone lately is bringing bookkeeping tax work, after the fact ... I don't...

Congratulations Duds13 that's a great day nice machine

Good Morning Everyone, checking in quickly, before the day gets too crazy, once again I am behind on this thread, but reading through it tells me that the world is still spinning and I'll be ok. Happy Belated Birthday Ken The baby chicks are doing fine, but hiding under momma. I will try...

I bought a red / black sign once, that I displayed in my Probation / Parole / Bail office. It simply said KEEP OFF GRASS, most of the clients didn't get it, some laughed... It was on the bulletin board above my desk for over 25 years :)

I LOVE THE FALL FAIRS I hang around with all the animals, and people. Fascinating events,with mini donuts too. :)

We can be friends :)

hoping that True Temper and Roger can connect and see if anything works for a deal between them. Negotiating through the TBN site takes a bit of time and Roger, being a fairly new member here, may not yet realize that there are messages pending. That's a nice tractor. All the best PS - I...

general question ... given the tractor supply and demand and availability environment, could Roger get a decent price by consigning it through the dealership, or selling it back ? strange times might bring different options - just a thought that i had

kenmbz - HBD2U :)

That shorter day is due to lots of sleep and naps throughout :) ... just like infants this has all the makings of a BIZARRO comic

rd_macg - true

it makes me wonder if the tractor was being partially driven on a weak shoulder as it avoided obstructing the road traffic ... one side on gravel, other side on pavement. and weight imbalance / seating on the trailer itself. yes it's a sad event, and condolences for those and the community...

could it have accidentally been bumped out of neutral, and / or is just on the "edge" of neutral but in another gear ? do you need to apply the brakes prior to starting the tractor ? is there a suffcient level of fuel ? again, as others have mentioned ... seat sensor safety ? all the best.

RNG - nice bike (sometimes I wish that I could ride) ... perhaps a trike one day. Is Drive & Tow an option ? We have a real chore trying to register any vehicle from out of the Province of BC. Not worth the hassle, inspection etc, so now I buy vehicles that are already registered in the...

in the last 24 hrs ... two baby chicks are hanging out in the coop. :) :) they are protected by a pair of momma hens. the chicks are both black, one hen is white and one hen is brown, it will make for a cool photo tomorrow, if I can get one. taking a break from the bookkeeping, made some...

shoot, I thought I was on to an explanation :) :) :)

a baby chick is hatching tonight ... the process should be done by morning, it looks black but is still inside the shell. hopefully more to come

does your wife have BROWN EYES ?

That's a big project, looks good. are the fuel tanks going on that triangular end ? For several years, I have thought about a (much smaller) hobby greenhouse, 8x10 or 10x12. I have relatives th.at own one of the largest greenhouse companies in the Province. I might have a lead. Won't be...

Good Day All, sounds like everyone is busy with the yard work that I should also be doing. i did a lot of bookkeeping / office work yesterday (Sat) had lunch with my sister after church today. she lives 6 hrs away, but was in the area. nice to see her and have a chat. she's concerned about...

i had to read that twice :) referring to the landscape, not the poster's experience - LOL i think drones can be fun. Not on my list yet.

4WD and never regret it some of that work you could do with an old jeep, just a thought

1) don't be "a Karen" ... not sure why she has the reputation 2) I've seen a LOT of spam ads on Marketplace ... tractor or car, in amazing condition, ridiculously cheap price, posted with 1 photo only, no real details, 3 or 4 seller locations (oddly, several separate communities all have the...

Avoidable Preventable

I have a similar sized Kubota BX23S (tractor, loader, backhoe) and although the backhoe was not something that I had ever really considered, it is AMAZING how useful it has been. It is probably on my tractor almost 1/2 of the time, and I use it for a lot of different things, not just digging...

That is absolutely tragic. Praying for all of those involved, and their families. The 5 children in critical status need our prayers right now. The Driver and the other children who were not injured (?) will need a lot of support, for years to come. Devastating.

sorry for the loss of the chickens. Racoons are a terrible threat. Crows, Ravens, Coyote and the Bear are also a bit of a concern for us. We lose a few birds every year, most of our losses are natural. Try as best we can, there are about a dozen chickens that find their way out of the run...

my brother lives in Port Macquarie, NSW ... 6 or so hours south of you :)

Alien - i can relate to your situation so much. Praying for you, that is a long wait. Can they get you into any kind of physio therapy in the waiting period ?

I'll get back to you on that It's part of your / my charm I'll gladly pay you Tuesday, for a hamburger Today :) Never Doubt Me That explains a lot What's further ... to Chilliwack, or by car ? Never waste a good opportunity to Shut Up

Goedemorgen iedereen !!! :) (Dutch greetings) I have another day in town, leaving shortly. LOTS of Thunder and Rain last night ... no, I didn't measure it ... kinda came outta no where (not on weather forcast, my truck windows were open a bit, seat in probably soaked - ha) lasted for a few...

Congratulations on your purchases, welcome to the TBN forum. Greetings from BC Canada

yes, 100% - all the best PJSprog

good deal

almost any sized tractor could likely hold a prybar or two in there. that could be useful. would make a lot of noise though, so a thin foam sleeve might be good also.

well, we are finally experiencing summer ... past 4-5 days Temps in the mid 30's C, 95-97 F ... i'm not complaining (otherwise I can't complain in the winter with snow and ice) It's been a busy few days, and I am way behind on this thread. My wife is STILL out of town with her dad ... she...

my son-in-law has a Leatherman Crunch that he uses all the time. he likes the vice-grip tool particularly. Very cool tool. so, while I wait to get a Leatherman SURGE ..., I found a cheap Coleman brand camping / fishing multi-tool. 16 tools in 1, $14.98 Cdn. Thought I'd get started with that...

We all gotta start somewhere, and by finding this TBN forum you are in good company to learn a lot. I'm a tractor rookie, learning everyday. You are asking the right questions, and giving great descriptions of the issue. There is nothing ignorant or stupid about that :) What he said...

yard beast - '89 Isuzu SPACECAB pickup

i like it. People have had enough, for too long.

Kind of a slow day. Still very hot, so after my errands in town, dog and i retreated to the house. Eventually worked up the energy to deal with recycling and trash ... start of another load to the dump. Friend stopped by with some old produce for the chickens, helped me feed critters and...

vertically, or horizontally ? my guess is vertically

grass ... repeatedly

I'm glad that you weren't injured. Tractor tippyness is always my concern.

Canadian Tire ? (not sure I've heard of Canadian Auto). Here in the west there are also a few Peavey Marts that are pretty good. Tool / supply inventory is largely manufactured in China, I pick and choose the tool depending on my intended usage.

even the sub-compacts can flip. caution and knowledge improves skill stay safe

I spent the day at a Car Show, show & shine. 150+ cars for this first annual event, it was good, el camino had some attention, being the only El Camino there. :) probably got a little too much sun, drank lots of water the Dog and I are just taking it easy now - i need a coffee at some point -...

I like the sandwich that is in front of me at any given point, sub sandwiches especially. PB & J is still a pretty good choice. Egg salad sandwich, roast beef is also good.

same here ... my wife runs the techie stuff, I do the tractor stuff :) and i have s flip phone, very basic

If that is a RECALL why is any of it on your dime? Sounds like it is a simple enough fix that the Dealership should be making house / farm calls and invoicing Kioti for the trouble.

Fair Point - but I think that that is the equivalent to restoring to original, rather than modifying / adapting to a new level. Either way, I don't weld etc, so it won't be me. I don't think that would void a warranty though, or push it beyond intended limits. If you have the skill, go for it :)

you guys are far more creative than me, sounds like a risky thing to do as the machines are built with specific design and purpose. my mind goes not to adaptors and creative solutions etc, but to liability issues and voided warranty claims. just because it can be done ... should it be done ? I...

Two weeks ago ... out here most of the gas stations were closed early, lights off $0.00 at the pumps, OUT OF GAS. I think there were 2 stations that were open for their regular hours ... out of about 15 local stations. I was told that it was a supply / delivery issue.

Kyle - sounds like your mom is well on the mend, that's great, praying. people are returning the cartons to me and buying more eggs at the same time. I can't say that I have ever tried egg carton pasta :) ... (sorry, I'll let myself out) The only music that I can play is the stereo I have...

The biggest problem with most machinery issues can be found directly behind the steering wheel. :) I should say that one of the biggest choices that I made, was not the Brand and Colour, but rather the Dealership, and Proximity... ie. I'm lazy, and convenience played a roll. I bought Kubota...

I like tractors, and I have ... by retail choice, the orange by used deal, the green, and then the yellow by vintage, the white and red I think everyone (me included) tries to justify their purchases, or the expenses, and gather moral support (supporting the notion that they made a good, or at...

daugen - glad that you were there for your friend and his wife. praying he is recovering quickly. I said it before re the Mall Hero ... Give That Man A Badge :)

I am sitting here having a coffee, the dog is asleep, and I have a load going in the laundry ... I keep thinking that I should be doing something, going somewhere. I never get a "nothing" day. Feels very strange. Chickens are starting to come to the window though. Hot out. I want to prep...

So, in looking sll over town ... the selection for multi-tools, let alone Leathermans is very limited. Granted, this is a pretty small town. Walmart had 1, Canadian Tire had 2, the local outdoors store had about 6, including the ones that I'm considering (overpriced by about $30)... but with...

Good Morning All, I know that you were :) these are really good eggs, and the chickens follow me around, inspect the food cart, snd converse with me, ❤️ imagine the omlettes ... yum great turnout for last night's ice cream cruise, about 25 vehicles (mine is the El Camino)

you'd pay $6 doz :) ... good chickens, with personality plus. note - a bag of chicken feed was $11.50 a year ago ... $18.00 now Good Evening Everyone, the car cruise / ice cream run was great ... 25 vehicles were out I came home and did some laundry tonight. Wife is not home yet, so she can't...

I was thinking that that is quite the price for a bag of coffee. Farm Fresh Free Range Eggs here are anywhere from $5-7 Cdn. I sell mega-jumbo / or duck eggs for $7.50 doz

Good Morning, I have the next best thing to a personal Wngsprd :) ... for the past 3 yrs, I have been TRADING 3 dozen eggs ($5.50 doz, $16.50 trade) for a bag of freshly baked blended ground coffee beans from my long time friend Steve. He's the Executive Director of the local Bible College...

Good Afternoon All Once again I am 2 days and 10 pages behind. It's been hot (32 C) and busy ... trips into town, critter care, too hot to weed whack, washing / selling eggs, some office work, paying bills, checking on the progress with my zero turn fabricationg, sorting out scraps food...

I know nothing, but they look to be solid. Out of my budget, but probably worth every dollar. I think I'd be afraid to use it. Collection purpose only, IF I ever acquired one I just did a little Google history "research" - fascinating

This is more great info everyone, thank you for sharing experiences and photos. Multi multi-tools in multi locations ... that's the ticket. Who says you need just one. :) I totally relate to that issue, and the culprit is my Buck Knife. Some Leatherman's have the clip now. (good idea)...

nail clippers would be a great additional tool on there :)

oosik mentioned Benchmade, which I had never heard of and had to Google. Good Knife. That search however also immediately brought up this BOKER-TIRPITZ-DAMASCUS POCKET KNIFE - 110190DAM Holy Cow - the intricate blade design etc. Retails for $1850.00 USD (I think my multi-tool idea will be a...

sun glare gets my vote also

BARN, then fencing

if only I knew that :) LEFT side of keyboard near the edge. probably the one with arrows that is right above the Caps key. it happen(s) fast, and there is no undo / reverse option that young man at the mall is certainly a hero (and has some skills with a gun, and processing environment) ...

Thought I'd check out this long running thread ... no HF stores here, so I never had the need. Good Day All

I lost a lengthy part (1/2) of my post the other day, simply by hitting 1 wrong, but very specific key. uggh duh is also useful :) paperwork and eggs today - inside job, the heat can wait

Good Morning We are finally in the 30's C (pushing 90 F) all week - hot, but at this point I'll take it. RNG - I miss the Court Classic runners, Denim shorts at Costco. I agree, the brands change too often. I'd better make something of this day. Back later. (2 more days, and I've been here...

MossRoad - i'm going with the Aliens (that is weird) I have a compact tractor, and an ATV quad. both are around the house and in the back. no access from the back due to creek, ravine, bear, and dense brush in that order. The shed, trees, dogs, and tight driveway to the back also helps. Any...

i stared at the tractor today, and thought what a beautiful piece of equipment. seat time tomorrow when I am home all day

Question - is this for security purposes, in the event of theft ? or are you trying to keep tabs on your equipment as it is being used at jobsites by others / employees ... ? my thought here (hobby farm) for security against theft, I'm going to go cheap and easy, with a hidden kill switch, and...

nope

Let the Voting Begin :) ... there are a lot of good multi-tools out there, and I've watched a few dozen videos. For me it is a matter of practical daily use around the hobby farm property and for fishing. Leatherman still in the lead, several models. 1) Leatherman SURGE 2) Leatherman FREE 4 3)...

LS - Very sorry for your loss, that is so difficult, take care. Praying for comfort for all those that are impacted.

Very Subjective - too many decisions to narrow it down (this is why I hesitated to answer earlier) Chevy / GMC / Dodge / Ford / Nissan / Toyota / Jeep / Other auto / manual 2x4 / 4x4 long box / medium box / short box / flat deck 2, 3, 4 door for payload / hauling / towing etc reg cab / ext cab...

Good Morning, looks like it is becoming a busy day, but coffee first - clean the totes and return them to Salv Army - scraps pick-up at Salv Army (it's what I do for them 3x week) ... chicken feed - package up a box for New York, and mail out other cards, items - attack the garage - wash more...

I spoke too soon - we lost power a few minutes after my previous post. Power went out for only 5 - 10 seconds - just long enough to cause a need for all the appliances and clocks to be re-set. I'm catching up since Friday, slowly ... Friday night the Caravan Farm Theatre production was great...

The sky is BRILLIANT with bright red and blue, dark clouds, thunder, lightning The dogs are safe inside the house :) The Angels are Bowling, and I dare not recline my power lift chair ... if the power goes out, I'm stuck. No bathroom breaks then. Here's a fitting song for y'all ...

a throwback to the 1960's vintage toys (I think they were banned ...) :) clacker balls on a string

I didn't know that Century 21 and Sears were connected I hope so :) JasperFrank - I think they shipped Jeeps in a Crate, not saying the public ever had access. The myth buster thing appears legit. Thanks

Ontario and Manitoba, Canada - bordering on Minnesota, USA

you beat me to it :)

not 50 years ago yet, ... but in 1975 you could order or buy PET ROCKS :)

For several years now, I've wanted to order a "Jeep in a Crate" ... can't find them anywhere. I would just keep it in the crate, just because. 1940s Jeeps, Army surplus.

I came close to buying a caiman from a local pet store, but I realized quickly that it would outgrow the 72 gallon aquarium that I had raised piranhas in. :)

5030 - agreed, I had the same thought (see post #31 above) :) I think that Atwoods (never been there) sounds a bit like Peavey Mart or Buckerfields in Western Canada. Perhaps a bit like Princess Auto also. Home Depot carries some yard equipment also. None of those are tractor specialists.

5030 ... fair point :) even in my world (hobby farming, compact, HST ... ) these Summit Tractors look cool - I'm digging the colour especially, but I don't think they win yet. I think there will be a lot of PDI issues, and limited support. I'd still love to be able to check one out though. I...

Good Morning Everyone I'm washing eggs, need to clear off the counter. Then off to church. I will catch up later today :) Prayers and Safety

I find this interesting, and AS I EXPECTED ... Service is exclusively elsewhere. That's a concern.

You can't Good Post your own posts :) :) :) ... that would be a conflict of my interest

I watched 2 introductory Summit Tractor videos. Some impressive features (tool box, 3rd function, wheel spacers, FEL levelling, LED rear lights, 3 pt bar etc). I agree with others, looks like a rebranding also. The paint colour is a nice change from standard stuff. Price was hard to find...

I need to dig out my "Court Jesters" book ... some good stories in that one. There have been times when I had to stifle a laugh in the middle of a Court proceedng, very tough. Court Jesters : Canada's Lawyers and Judges Take the Stand to Relate Their Funniest Stories - MacDonald, Peter V.

I was called for jury duty 4x, 4 different cases. Had to be turned down each time, because I was an Officer of The Court, Expert Witness, Peace Officer (all of that) ... so they said that I had a bias, or was it attitude ??? :) LOL correct, either way :) I just had to flash my card

so it is not even at the trial point yet. in the 1000s of cases that I've been involved in (many times as a witness), my testimony was only needed when the evidence was produced / or at trial / or at sentencing (where I was typically involved). I don't understand why they need Your appearance...

NOTE: lutongdaisy is filling TBN with numerous SPAM posts - x13... injectors etc. joined yesterday. OTHER than REPORTING it, there must be a way to filter that stuff out - kind of annoying I know the Moderators are a busy group

I feel like i got a whole lotta nothing done today ... not true, just feels that way. - washed several dozen eggs, and sold them ... need to wash more - paid a lot of bills this morning (online), before heading into town - insurance renewal for the car (wife has it out of town) - counselling...

Hobby Farming - a lot of enjoyable work

from what I read the other day, the Leatherman's have a 25 yr warranty. (in other circles, that is a Life sentence, so close enough to life-time, I guess)

The Adventure Begins ... Congratulations on your purchase, this forum will certainly be helpful. looks like a cool tractor i'm not sure if this is it exactly, but the link is useful http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/3/5/350-international-harvester-674.html

i believe that my grapple is 54" wide, does everything that i need it to do

Good Evening All I'm mostly still catching up on things here RNG - the drone neighbour proably has his name on the stupid drone, or a phone number or some identifier. I think a potato gun that can shoot a net out to capture the drone would be good. Drone Wars might also be a reasonable...

i agree with blee03 '78-79 F100, square headlights if it is an F150 that came after 1975 could be a Ranger of that era

that might be funny, or evil :) ... going with funny

that's good practice, even if it is a bit OCD :)

I have a LandPride Grapple, I love it. It was available at the local dealer, convenient, specific to my tractor, and I could eyeball it prior to purchase. No shipping, waiting, delivery issues.

I don't even want to THINK about snow in July, ... maybe November

lots of cool stuff

Oil, is better than No Oil shouldn't be a problem, still a fresh can

I started looking at some of the Leatherman's I did not know this ... "as with all Leatherman multi-tools, there’s a 25-year warranty" (GREAT) WAVE Plus $150 Cdn - considered "best investment" according to some reviews SURGE $190 Cdn - the larger size seems to be a good choice for me (my...

Good Morning, I mostly caught up on the last 12 pages now I had a long day yesterday (9:30 AM - 11 PM) that completely changed my day / week around. A friend called me and I ended up changing my appointments / errands around for the week. He needed a ride to the Kamloops hospital - 1.5 hrs...

our pillow talk is completely different :)

Because it's your suggestion HAY DUDE, i will give that a listen :) :) :)

haha, that's great

Canadian THEATRE, United States THEATER

Boston is a great band ... I just don't like listening to the same song every time it is played :) they did have other albums and other hits. They know how to rock n roll, but radio made them a 1 hit wonder (yes, that's exaggerated)

YES, I get "More Than A Feeling" ... and it ain't a good thing. (ask anybody what Boston song they know, and 98% will give this answer) TOTAL OVERPLAY ... uggh, grrr I'm actually not OCD ... it took me forever to come up with the list in my earlier post. My wife, and all members of her...

wow

Good Morning Everyone Are there any updates on the world-wide INTERAC OUTAGE ??? Planning my day, I have a car show to go to and then a bunch of errands. I don't use a credit card, and usually do not carry cash. Yesterday I went to the bank solely to withdraw some cash so that I could gas up...

K5lwq - so sorry for your loss, that is a great story. I think I need one with a universal vehicle key ( :) ) as most of my walking back and forth is for the one key that I don't have with me when a car needs to be moved ... LOL

I don't want to stop the discussion as the more info the better. These responses are EXACTLY what I was hoping for, thanks guys, this is great information to consider. I know that my son-in-law (farmer, mechanic, pastor) carries his Leatherman on his belt, all the time. My neighbour (farmer...

that's concerning, take care, treat the scratch i guess

air horns work great I'd ask them ... warranty for which car ? what year ?, model ?, colour ? we avoided the private listing charge in the phone book, by having a listed number in my wife's maiden name... when I worked in Corrections I certainly didn't want calls from jail, police etc. not...

First time on the tractor in about 2 weeks. About 1 hour of seat time. Most of it in the rain. Removed the FEL and put the grapple on it. Needed to clean up part of the yard by removing large pieces of used carpet from beside the house. Drying the carpet out for a few days, prior to a dump...

Success Had a Hallelujah Moment Tonight. After another 4 hours working on the drain clog my friend and I were able to clear it out. What an ordeal. The power auger did nothing, drano did nothing, drain snake did nothing, plunger did nothing. The clog was solid, probably 2-3 feet long in the...

Good Morning All, Happy Birthday Mostly BEF - good tent, Canadian Tire maybe ? riptides - it's a maintenance day here also. I have an open day today - still trying to unclog the tenants kitchen sink piping upstairs. 10 days ago started with plunger, drano, drain snake, a friend then...

I agree with your thoughts. seems that they were recently bought out by Alamo Group, those kinds of changes / revisions always seem to dilute the brand (which I originally really liked) ... if I could find one that was 15-20 yrs old I might be interested. I have a vintage garden tractor - a...

Good Morning (like it is really early) 12:01 here I had a pretty busy Wednesday, and not a bad day as such. Salvation Army pick-up scraps this morning, and delivered a bunch of banana boxes to them that I no longer needed. Egg delivery Physio Therapy Appt on my dislocated shoulder - therapist...

Being in Western Canada it is very difficult to find out anything about this brand, let alone finding any Dixie Choppers that are for sale. I first became interested in Dixie Choppers upon seeing the 2004 ? show of Orange County Choppers (OCC) that featured them. I do not see a forum thread...

get a 40 ft shipping container for the extra security, as it requires a specific towing vehicle and trailer - less of a target / opportunity when it is sitting on vacant property. whereas a 20 ft shipping container can be picked up and moved (stolen) by almost any suitable truck with a tilt...

I'm a little confused Sheamus... you bought 15 acres out of town, planning to build - some delays, bought the Bobcat (nice machine) currently living in town, renting, Bobcat is in a friend's shed, things in a holding pattern until able to build So we don't have to rush into building or buying...

BEF - people request to join the R&RR group, then they get approved or denied, and once approved they are permitted to post. The posts are not individually "approved" as such, but the posts are monitored for appropriateness... unacceptable posts are deleted, and person might be blocked for a...

uggh I just checked our group status. It is private, family friendly. We approve all member join requests, and monitor the posts to avoid posts and comments that are not welcome. It is pre-90s vehicles. Rusting and Running Rides Private group · 85.1K members

I'd join your group. I'm a moderator in a car group that has 85,000 members, I'll have to see if there are changes in that group.

BEF - wow that's weird. We had a low flying police chopper flying over the house at 100 feet recently. That thing was noisy at such a low altitude.

Thomas - i see what you did there :) BEF - son is confused with engine noises perhaps, oh well

toppop52 - glad that you checked in, still praying for you RNG - I think shooting the drone is acceptable (so long that it lands on your property) and then when Jerk comes to retrieve it ... trespassing applies. call police to gather the evidence, and bill Jerk for garbage disposal wasn't...

Happy Fourth of July - enjoy your evening

as others have noted, Kubota has a few nice Zero Turns with the 60 inch decks I have no personal experience with zero-turns yet, as I have been researching / shopping only. I recently bought a used 2012 Cub Cadet zero-turn (gas), delivery is pending. IF I could have afforded a new zero-turn...

m5040 - i was referring to my vehicle's timing and occasional backfiring, not suggesting that it was the same for the tractor. I'll clarify my comment

landruma, was the tractor purchased new, ie with full warranty ? or was it purchased used, and there was no warranty transfer ? the length of warranty appears to vary, depending on part all the best in getting this sorted

I get a similar but rare backfire in my El Camino ... in that case, it has been suggested to me that the timing needs to be adjusted

LS - it's all part of your charm BEF - nice cub cadet when i was travelling to the dump today (a 5 min drive) I saw a moose calf that was standing in the centre of the road. I think it was probably only 6-7 ft tall - about the height of my pickup, so not very big yet. I only saw this one...

Good Evening, took the 1979 El Camino to church this morning, then had to jump start my friend's 1965 Valiant after the service. THAT was a photo opportunity that I think everybody missed :) Sermon Series is starting on Philippians, and I get the impression that I need to read that book 4-5x to...

I could have a lot of fun with this :) Dear Elizabeth ...

I had to fill out a form of several pages, detailing the trip / check boxes ... indicating where I stayed (hotel, residence, travel, meals etc) on that trip it was 3 days with relatives (no extra efforts) and 2 days in hotel (with all the extras ... meals, restaurant staff, housekeeping, hotel...

YES, they did. Very political and deliberate. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but this one annoys me - here's my take ... Global Warming COULD NOT BE DEFENDED. A very specific definition that defied the results. Easy to dispute. CLIMATE CHANGE is a far more generic term, meaningless...

is that a good thing ???

I've been busy with other matters, no seat time in over a week. I'll get back so it shortly. Zero Turn is almost ready as well.

Good Morning Everyone ! Sorry but I am so far behind on this thread, that I can't reply to 12 pages, so this will be just and hit and miss with update. Canada Day was good, enjoyable and a full day. Normally there is a parade and all the cars are part of that. This year there was no parade...

reading this initially, I wasn't sure if the job was for income or a personal project / repair. Unless time is urgent, i think nature dictates that you wait it out until things dry up. i wanted a Sea Can delivered in May - it was too wet, everything would get stuck, and the ruts left would be...
