    Wife said what?!?!

    Seems to me, if you get real sick you are better off with either great insurance or no insurance? 2 buddies I play bluegrass with have just had major operations, cancer and heart work. Both in their early 60s. Neither had insurance but both got new F150s, leased. I couldn't believe it but...

    Really Ticked!!!!

    I was going to buy some guinea hens this year to help manage the ticks etc. I've read too much on the subject and now i'm confused. In my case I don't want the eggs nor do I want to become a breeder. Initially I thought that they are very very low maintenance but I continue to read that if...

    Why do we like trails so much?

    Whoops The eggs are inside the bubbles, hundreds in each bubble. I think the black spots are eggs, millions altogether? If each bubble were an egg, I hate to be the frog!

    Why do we like trails so much?

    For the last year my miles and miles? of trails were impassable due to the rain. It's been dry now for 5? days and forecast dry for the next 5. I hope it's true but i don't believe it. I'm so so thankful for the few dry days we have had. I literally begged the septic guy to dig mine asap...

    Invisible Fence Wire Break

    I'm stuck in the dark ages. For whatever reason, I had the wire break a bunch of times over 5 or so years. I finally bought a 500 ft roll of wire, split the underground wire circle in 1/2, tested both sides, ID the bad side, split it in 1/2, keep doing it. I did have a real good idea where...

    Statute of limitations

    I been doing my laundry at the laundry mat now for 9 months since I moved into the camper. While I should be thankful the laundry mat is there, I still hate it. Since I'm single and avoiding the virus, i found buying new underwear a good option.

    Skid Steer bucket for L39

    I Just tried to sell the 6 ft bucket that came with my mx5800. Very little interest in central nc. I replaced the original bucket with a skid Pro 4 in 1 which is both heavy and expensive. Based on suggestions from the forum, I decided to keep the original bucket. I put a ratchet rake on it...

    Mower style advise needed.

    Good idea re making a drag from logs. I知 gonna try that although I致e much less area to do. It was suggested that I try to drag a tree behind to finish. It works. Before I drag my pile of cut weedy trees to the burn pile, I always take them for a ride up and down trails, it really works well.
