i knew tons of folks who worked at briggs. actually, that f...ing around was known to happen where i worked also..........literally, in the QC lab. at briggs in the 70s. there was so much vice on 2nd shift the police raided them, on a couple occasions. friends worked there and said it was...

sounds like you "have been there" in terms of dealing with, or living with, the euro policies. i laugh now but try to go into a ceos office in the usa, he's behind schedule, and tell him, you can't build the rest of your hospital because some of the material is coming from europe and...

such a shame it isn't used in schools they way it could be. someone gave it to me when i was very young and that part where the rabbits lived in a warren that was protected by the farmer got my attention. once in a while the farmer makes a withdrawal, a rabbit goes missing and NO ONE...

i've told the story where the beer workers threatened a strike in milwaukee in the early 70s. company said if you do, we leave. union struck, companies left town. By the time the 60s rolled around, in milwaukee, if you could get a job in the brewery that was better than a city job!

i bet he personally doesn't pay anyone's salary. he's an employee, not an owner. ( probably got a real nice stock plan so he's kinda an owner) he may provide enough value to the co that it grows etc, requiring more employees but...... big difference was it adam smith the economist who said...

i have been there my friend. i never sexually assaulted anyone but on a couple occasions i got caught doing things that would have cost me my job.....if i was working in a non union situation. Hard to believe the crap we got away with. i've got some great stories about the 2nd shift antics at...

i read that and after working 10 years in situations almost exactly like JD factories....... i don't get the skilled but tedious comment. Tedious i get. seems to me most tedious jobs are not skilled and most skilled jobs are not tedious. Semantics?

i usually don't tappy tappy during the day but just saw that jd is on strike. good luck getting service parts!

i grew up on lake michigan so theses ponds down remind me of mud puddles but...... my neighbors grandson the other day, out of the mud puddle in granddads back yard!

bonny

neighbors to me are like employees. lots of good ones out there but it's the 1 bad one that i tend to remember. 1 bad apple can do a lot of damage my granny use to say, it only takes one bad apple. she was right.

texas has a town named level land

good for you way to late for me, good luck

i think either one of the oil companies or car companies did just that. Was it L.A. that had some sort of early mass transit and they bought it and shut it down.

yup i remember as a kid. we had just moved across the lake to milwaukee wisconsin but the parents would down load us to grand parents once a summer. freeways not built yet. could it have been called the clipper? cars and people. hard to believe a 6 year old and 7 year old allowed to make...

thx again yesterday i was cutting up the branches of the white oak for my neighbor to use as firewood. he's real sick and old and just loves to to sit and watch the fire. the branch wood cut to 18 inches is perfect for him and the white oak burns good. it was about 7pm and i was tired but i...

indian head ski resort, dead center of the UP......south center. ski lift stops and i'm 1/2 way up, very windy, no trees, little snow tornadoes. at least 30 minutes, too high to jump. coldest i've ever been. they closed the hill later that day due to the cold! i have a friend who went off...

at the end of the day, the sun is responsible for everything.....except the sun itself, blame that on gravity. i think the ancients had it figured out father sun, mother nature

and skiing.....probably the "best" skiing in the region is in the U.P. certainly the coldest!

i've taken out thousands in the last 2 years...weedy trees

when i went to disney land. epcot, the exxon exhibit told me oil is from dinosaurs. could both disney and exxon be lying to me?

i do it every single morning. i hold a branch out ahead of me i call a spidey buster but.... every morning i get a mouthful of webs and bites in odd places.

unrelated i see you are from beecher city i grew up in a city that had a street named beecher. it had a meat market on it. does beecher have a meat market?

a comment was made a while back that burning wood is carbon net zero because the tree had been capturing carbon it's entire life, just releasing what it had been saving. can't the same logic be applied to oil and coal. coal is dead plant matter that had been saving carbon all its life and oil...

top 10 picker chet atkins said he was a cgp certified guitar player

thx setting them won't be a problem, i've done many fence posts but i'm wondering about the lifespan of untreated white oak. and how that compares to the lifespan of an almost 70 year old geezer. i bet the oak lasts longer than me! just cutting those suckers tells me they are hard as rock...

there is a member from kansas i think who designed and built what i call the teater totter pedal. to me it looks perfect! one day i'm gonna build one. i have the mx5800 with hst and........ arthritis in my right hip so bad after 10 minutes i must get up and walk it off. then i'm lucky to get...

My house building budget got blown outta the water, i was in the crosshairs. I can afford to build a nice shed, i'm just not going beyond budget. It's a problem with me, i will cut my nose off to spite my face. so, with building some kinda shed for my tractor in mind.... i have an almost...

you did all that by yourself? GOOD ON YA!

many wealthy shirk their obligation legally. it's called the tax code. it would be nice if they cleaned it up..... ask the national association of accountants and cpas if they want to clean up the tax code. of course we could just fund more government employees and then Bernie Madeoff etc...

beats the alternative

good for them, i know they are out there. my definition of a hobby is probably much more limiting than most. and as usual, don't matter.

yea, i knew that comment would generate examples exceptions, and thank goodness for the exceptions. in the end, it don't matter although i find people with true hobby's to be interesting people.....to me. just 1 example, i've been going to music festivals for 50 years.....90 % of the...

Freud said a man needs 2 things, mark twain said essentially the same thing love and work he was referring to males, not **** sapiens in general. i've always said, it takes passion to have a real hobby. how many women you know have a real hobby? once in a while........my mom was a golf addict

budget? what's that. here's my standard response. 1. tell me 1 thing the government does well...please. 2. Virtually everyone i know is very close to or related to a government employee. many guys i know can do what they do for a living only because Mrs works for the county.

that is the standard excuse. we are doing a lousy job, have always done a lousy job, will continue to do a lousy job so....fund more positions. how about....shrink the govt and let the private sector do it?

good point but, in my case, i do not get close to any incline that puckers me up.

I traveled for work so i speant a lot of time in restaurants alone. i got used to it and always brought a book or magazine. i would watch older, i assume married couples, and notice that in many many cases, there was not much if any conversation. now they are looking at their phones.

it's been almost 2 years since i got my tractor and the BH has never been off. i use it all the time, not every day but almost every time i'm out and about i see a rock or stump and i just gotta rip it out. i drive around with the BH in what i'm calling the standard configuration, it sticks...

i will sell anything........ except my bmw dogs and piano

i think VA would beat N.C. in terms of property prices. Northern VA kinda skews the average but still, in general, i think VA more expensive.

then.....where's the soft ****?

i got just what you want....brand new bachelor style 2 bedroom house with separate garage/shop/apartment. 55 acre tree farm. lots of room for horses. close to the coast but not the gulf. close to the mountains, reasonable climate, close to rivers, duke basketball, great golf courses, kubota...

sold my house in pinehurst about 1.5 years ago and the widow buyer wanted me to pay to have a tree removed. i agreed but..... she wanted it all done prior to closing. i wouldn't let them touch the tree until after settlement. all i could imagine is some tree guy dropping the tree on my...

a co i was representing made shielding solutions for MRI imaging locations. MRIs are very sensitive to all forms of energy but rf signals are the worse. they don't like magnetic pulses either. they had thousands of dollars worth of test equipment, transmitters, receivers, network analyzers...

that's pretty much how the power co does it guy told me they inject RF signals and look for the leaky wire.

old friend works there, kubota in GA. he has something to do with seats.

it's been long time but i'm pretty sure i was in school about 3 blocks from where Dahlmer lived when all that went down. if memory serves, he worked at Ambrosia chocolate which makes the base product for many chocolate manufacturers.

mix greed and hope together and it overwhelms common sence

i've been thru 26 real estate closings as a private individual, some seller, some buyer, a few with realtors, most without. In my case i would find a local real estate lawyer to "review" the transaction, keep their eyes on things. Back east we are forced to use lawyers for real estate...

me too. i took a train from milwaukee to chicago to buy my first new car, a 1979 honda civic. they ran out of allocation so they told me i was first on the list for 1980 civic, at an increased price. I objected. The sales guy told me, politely but without any room for misunderstanding, if...

i like dragzilla

my grandparents retired to portage lake in houghton hancock mi in the 50s. I guess that was before snowblowers and snow mobiles? Not sure how you survive and what do you do? Back then winter sports were not that popular. We had to live there for a couple of years when i was young and i...

me too. Alta Utah ski area, lost.

Yea, in my mind bluegrass is about the musicians, not so much the singers although the stanley brothers are/were something. Nice you can play with your son, mines a drummer and that's tuff! I can play a little 5 string banjo but my hearing is so messed up the twang of the banjo gets to me...

being a hungry man fried chicken expert i must thank you for pointing that out. As i said, i've lived on them for over 20 years but recently have been wondering......has someone invented a new way to butcher chickens? Not unusual to get 2 or 3 "hunks" of chicken that are unrecognizable, always...

I been close twice, both times on the golf course. 1st time with niece and nephew. hit a tree 30 yards away, all i remember is this huge explosion and then the sky full of debris, pine bark i guess. 2nd time, on pay phone in golf course clubhouse working. i saw a big ball of light and some...

Nothing to do with evs or french engineering but..... i came in for lunch yesterday and the Movie Goldfinger was on. It was the scene where the asian guy, odd job?, was "alone", driving that early 60s black continental with the suicide doors. Just like the one in animal house. I think he had...

around here many of the real estate agents will stage it themselves, mine had a storage locker full of stuff.

I read a good way to smooth trails was to drag a tree. So happens in the last 2 years i have cut down hundreds if not thousands of weedy trees, nasty undergrowth stuff that varies from, 1-4 inches, 4-5 different species. I leave the big ones! i've dragged these tree bundles over the same...

I met a guy who hunts hogs at nite in central florida. he says they get as many as they want. I asked what do they do with the meat....the bodies? He told me the only meat they saved was from young females and that a big male was nasty. He said that, not me! What surprised me was no one...

i'm guessing dad is the banjo player? just a guess that's some fine pickin! The IBMA is in Raleigh NC right now. Been going on for a few days, annual event. What's that? The International Bluegrass Music Awards......like the oscars or grammys for bluegrass. In that world, it's a big deal...

i read they sold many many more 409 badges than 409 engines. she's real fine my 409

i think it was 1979, lake michigan froze all the way across which they said was unusual. That's when i thought, you can shove all this ice right where the sun don't shine and i headed south!

now i see how you get 3-4 meals from one chicken

i did exactly that with an invasive plant called kudzu, back on the 80s. i literally cut each stem by hand and dabbed on a bit of something, probably round up. it worked and didn't take all that long

i read... time is what keeps everything from happening all at once

Quonset Hut For Sale.....not mine! I was not sure where to post this. Every time i try something like this it comes back to haunt me but.........maybe it will help someone. I ran an ad on craigslist trying to sell excess metal roofing and mentioned i might trade for a tractor shed or...

i've always heard ben franklin invented the lightening rod and did not patent it. sort of like his gift to humanity?

another interesting thought is....the beginning of time and....if there was a beginning, what was before?

growing up a few of my friends moms baked bread, mine did not. seems the bread makers had lots of kids. at about 14-15 years old we would go to my buddies house if his mom as baking bread. his mom would throw a loaf of fresh hot bread at us just to watch the commotion, fighting, cussing and...

i got a free cheap tape measure at a trade show once, probably from a competitor. it had the 8 inch mark twice. in other words, it went from 5 to 6 to 7 to 8....then 8 again. took a while to figure that one out.

here's a new one for me yesterday ups shows up. i haven't ordered anything but you never know. he pulls this envelope out. I said son, if that envelope requires a signature, you can shove it where the sun don't shine. He laughed and assured me it didn't require a signature. He mentioned he...

i did that 20 years ago and got the stink eye from everyone. 20-30 years ago gift cards became all the rage. Personally, i'd rather get a gift card than a sweater but not the point. One Christmas we were all sitting around opening gifts and it was one card after another. If the one you gave...

Round abouts require a person to make a decision. Stop lites tell you what to do. Some people are decision makers, others need/want to be told what to do. Put a square peg in a round hole and see what you get. Peg ( peggy?) ....freudian, no pun intended

not many with the 260, what a find!

as a kid one of the school trips was to go to chicago to see the german sub on display. all i remember was it was so small.

same thing...on the freeway, beautiful clear day. .i went to pass this big f250 going 55, right lane. All jacked up with loud exhaust. he'd accelerate as i tried to pass, you could hear the rpms on his POS grocery getter. young couple, chubbies, maybe 25-30? i'd slow down, he'd slow down...

commander cody was my neighbor, or so i was told. i lived on a golf course just south of greensboro nc. one of the first houses you saw on the way in had a wrought iron gate with musical notes built into the design, i asked around and was told that was his house, never met him. I think he...

Foor deck? and they made fun of me for loose zeros.

here's a trick i learned the hard way. if you are having trouble pounding the rods into the ground, run a little water down the rod, just spill a little on the rod and it becomes much easier to drive.

update on loose grease fittings....aka zeros.....aka zerks...... i couldn't borrow a tap so back to Harbor Freight. I was able to chase the threads on the fitting but for some reason, there was orange paint on the threads on the tractor side? i was able to get the metric 10-1 tap to start but...

walking the dog on the logging trails behind my place in oregon we came upon a small group of elk, about 4-5 crossed the trail 20 ft in front of us, i grabbed the dog. what we didn't know was we had split the herd and 1/2 had not yet crossed the trail. the 3-4 that had not crossed decided to...

Catch 22

thx, i forgot but it's fun to look at the comments

a family friend put 3 kids thru college and bought a big house on a lake mostly from doing body work on cars that hit deer, in southern wisconsin probably shouldn't say it but, i'm the only one in the family not to hit one....as of now. very few deer out here in the woods, not much to eat...

well educated? probably not.

in our case it was a stick.....more like a club, about 12-18 inches long with a knob on the end. granny said she used it on leprechauns.

loose zeros? the dreaded auto correct got me again.

my tractor, mx5800, is almost 2 years old and just passed 300 hours. soon after buying, during an early greasing, i broke off one of the zerks because it was loose. not the end of the world but a PITA to get out and then difficult to find correct replacement, until i went to the dealer. I...

interesting ditty on the news last nite about how some young gal has made a business of collecting what i'm calling distressed glass. i think it's basically old broken bottles that for 30 years have been tumbled in the surf of lake superior. she makes jewelry out of it which makes her $.

my buddy painted his car in the early 90s, ended up working for the co. it was a mid 60s 12 cylinder ferrari, i drove it up and down the street....maybe 1/4 mile....red

There is a big traffic circle in pinehurst nc, it's been there for years and years. 2 busy state highways meet there, at 90 degree angles. Both hwys are 4 lanes and usually busy but must be narrowed to 2 lanes to accommodate the circle. Most the residents i knew did not like it. Pinehurst is...

i got to wear i could pull the engine on a pre super beatle in 15 minutes....maybe less........ a few wires and linkages, 4 bolts, an empty tire (no wheel) under the engin and pull the exhaust. gettin it back in was almost as easy.

i've seen stop lites at round abouts not sure if here or europe but i remember thinking something's wrong.

me too. i sold it a year later by owner, which was my first by owner transaction. i ran an ad in the local paper....it said, duplex, x$, 14.5% FHA assume loan, no rate change no qualify . the phone rang off the hook, nobody cared much about the house, it was that below market loan they wanted.

yea, you buy the heater from a catalog and hook it up to your gas line. man, i had a few old vee dubs in wisconsin.....that's just stupid!

funny...i been to mccormick place many times...they could put a lot of hay in there. i also rode the train from milwaukee, just north of racine, to chi town, a few times. my buddy had some kinda cush job with the railroad. we sat in the caboose and drank beer all the way there and back.

ho ho ho

fat, sweet, salty. those 3 "food groups" are the ones to watch out for. because they are both necessary and very very hard to find, we evolved to have this huge urge to eat as much of that stuff as possible, at every opportunity. fast forward to industrialized food, mickey dees, Starbucks etc...

my buddy runs a bluegrass jam on monday nites at the 1840 town that he hand built over the last 25 years.....amazing accomplishment. He has cowboy weddings and is doing fine! His wife likes to sing one song in particular and she belts it out! 5 pounds of possum in the headlights tonight!
