Physical health. Synthetic Oils. Electric vehicles. R4 tires. ROPS Drilling. HVAC layouts and design. Welding. Home electrical modifications.... Beer. Real Beer. An occasional cigar, maybe not Cuban.

Just FYI - Hulu TV does NOT work if your internet service is cellular based. LTE.

Sounds like a market opportunity for body panels to collect energy for electrics. And I thinks some are already looking at that. Not sure what happens at night. LOL.

34 outside this AM. Heading to lower 40's. Another Winter Storm watch has posted and like wngsprd said, anywhere from 1 to 4 inches are on the way. Hope it will not be as heavy as this last one. I have a lot of branches still in the trees that are split and hung up. Prayers for David, Kyle and...

LOL. existed....Yep!

Routine healthcare, we have come to rely on local infrastructure. Specialized - we travel. That usually means 2 to 13 hours one way. We seek out "the best". It has proven expensive, financially, emotionally, mentally.....but it is for ones own health. We found in the area we have resided in...

I think it was a combination of events fast moving. The storm started as rain and within the hour turned to ice then snow. The traffic was already on the road and just got caught at the wrong time and place. The portion of interstate, in that area, is pretty rural with no exits for miles. Those...

I am a little south of you, Just got power back and steady this early AM. The trees took a catastrophic hit with this storm. As did the roads. 28 South was bumper to bumper from Nokesville down through Fauquier. People trying to bail from the interstates.

I prefer the word acceptance to the word tolerance. I think it is the next step towards understanding.

27 outside this AM. Heading to mid 40's. Power came back on a few hours ago. Everything checked out OK. Good thing I had my generator serviced a few weeks ago. A little Honda, I cannot remember how old type. Think I will invest in a house hookup and maybe upgrade the unit. If we did not have...

Still no power. If you see stories about a 50 mile shutdown and traffic snarl on i95 in VA, THEY ARE TRUE. I managed to clear the driveway, and run to get some food and fuel. Never seen so many trees down in my life. On our property we have at least 3 burn piles worth of limbs alone. Wife lost...

She just thinks very highly of you. ;)

18 outside this M. Heading to 32. Area was fast slammed by that storm yesterday. Got just over 10 inches of heavy wet snow. Roads still impassable, lots of trees down, on property too. No power since yesterday, 3PM. Will check in later. Be safe.

My tractors and utility vehicles have been well equipped at the dealer for simple stuff - -mirrors -arm rests -upgraded seats -welded hooks -and extra remotes I figured the dealer/manufacturer would know best on positioning and placement of some of the above.

Hmm... getting slammed here with snow. Now calling for 8 to 12 inches. Power and internet are in and out. Looks like about 4 to 5 inches already, with a pretty strong wind. Will go outside to check on the animals. gather some more firewood, and call it a day. Should be a fun time around here...

34 outside this AM. Freezing drizzle slop with white like substance on ground. Supposedly we have reached the high for today. 5 to 10 inches of snow are possible. Last night at 11:00PM I blanketed a few horses and the temp was in the 50's. A nice wind was picking up, and well, a storm is upon...

Well...signing off for a few. Happy New Years to you all. No train station rides for anyone! My wife got me some way kool Yellowstone stuff...including a "Don't make me go Beth Dutton on you" shirt for her! Peace, health, happiness and Prosperity to you all. It was great keeping up with your...

I remember my first paycheck and shouting out "what the hades is FICA". I still look at those "deductions". LOL.

I remember the odd and even gas up days/restrictions. You "could"/"should" only fill your tank based on the last digit of your license plate. Good thing my buddies all worked at gas stations. And I had a secret squirrel job.

I remember buying lifesavers candy rolls for 5 cents. They worked pretty good too. I am still kicking!

Send details please. PM if too detailed. Does it have a signal strength indicator? I grow weary of running out back only to find nothing on the cameras. Guess I am getting lazy.

The problem when dealing with people is.....you never know which way it will go.

Makes for easier cleanups! :)

Have you approached them?

It's crap like anything else, just needs rotation and breakup.

46 outside this AM, heading to mid 50's. No rain here, just enough to be confused with dew on the ground. Very dry and too warm for this time of year. I managed to look at another tree yesterday for the wood stove. It sits on what was a really wet part of the back property. I walked right up to...

Seems awful high. But insurance, repairs or bodily injury.....

If our horse go an tear up the neighbor yards or roads, even leaving dumps, I would clean it up. One pile, not so much, consistently, yeah...courtesy.

Spring for a structural engineering report.

48 outside this AM. Heading to lower 60's. Supposed to rain sometime today or later this week. I will believe that when I see it. The weather crew has been abnormally wrong these last few weeks for my area. House is empty again, preparing for the next batch of people. Managed to get the other...

37 outside this AM. Heading to upper 50's. What happened to take the Covid discussions to another thread or place? Why does one poster continue to bring it up here? Why the hypocrisy of some? Kyle, I have a Ryobi, picked it up at Home Depot. Nothing special. It does the job, wife even uses it...

Your area is funded by some serious research dollars at the Hokie nation. Growths been coming your way for at least a decade if not more. I was almost there 20 years ago, but a job got yanked out from under me at the last minute.

I have a Verizon LTE plan through a Virtual Network Operator. Big $$$$ to get. Every month they disconnect his customers due to some billing issue on the 26th in the wee hours of the morning. If the technology doesn't suck, the support and backend services are icing on the cake.

40 outside right now. Heading to mid 40's. Still recovering from a Christmas Eve dramatic event with horses. One had colic during the evening. Needed a vet call. Seems to be OK this AM. Need a few days to recover from that, family trying to get together before the New Year. Unfortunate some...

Yeah. But.... I do a lot of work on multiple computers. Very I/O intensive stuff. Plus the whole compound is set up for streaming services. So I need....instant gratification. And Ping times below 20ms, Jitter <8. LOL. Call of Duty weighs heavily when trying to do work. More LOL.

Was 25 outside this AM, heading to mid 40's. Managed to get all the plumbing parts needed, will attempt fixes this AM as soon as things get settled with the animals. Even got some groceries and gas yesterday. All in all a success following the SO around. Looked like business as usual yesterday...

The thin line between differentiation of anti-viral and vaccines becomes thinner.

I take it the whole gist of this thread is "You must want to be a farmer if you buy a farm". Not so in a lot of cases. There is the whole side of speculation, investment and/or combinations of those PLUS those seeking peace, tranquility and purpose. Funny, I have yet to find any of the above I...

If I tie four routers together, I still cannot come close to that. LOL. Must be.....nice. Sigh...

Ugh. Well the bright side is, there is new tech working and may be available soon. It is just a matter of time. The verizon stuff works for me, but it is not the home internet plan. It is through a Mobile Virtual Network Operator. $$$$$$ The issue with them is backoffice verizon stuff kills...

30 outside this AM. Heading to lower 40's. Feels warmer than yesterday afternoon. That's odd. Maybe I was just in a cold spell body wise yesterday. Anyway, looks to be a good day. Since the plumber came in at what I think is just a way off price, I attempted to do some work myself. Water and...

If your talking about google maps, you as an end user can submit an edit and correction for that. I did, my house location was at my neighbors milking barn. A quarter of a mile, down the road. Lots of missing people and packages ended up there. LOL. Of course, today, I wish I had kept it the...

21 outside this AM, heading to mid 40's. Is chilly. LOL. That's some nice work, Alien. Need more pictures please. Fingers crossed Buppies! Good luck, just keep the positive attitude. David, I hold my phone in my pocket. On the M, it stays in the cab, which has a holder. That's the problem. I...

Sheesh Don. I don't know what to say. I hope that works out for you, really. I think a refund may be in order for that work though. I have had some serious experiences with stitchery and have not come across something that - invasive. For the lack of a better word. I hope you heal well. Get...

Dandelion wine. Better!

Actually, that's pretty good work. Here is hoping they got it all, that is the last of it. and your spirits remain positive. Wishing you all the best in the New Year.

21 outside this AM, heading to mid 40's. Weekend blew by. Wife said all she wanted for xMas was an owl box. So I built her one. Believe it or not, I did not even have to run to the hardware store. Got rid of some scrap wood too in the process. All that is left is to paint/stain it and hang it...

One can always make more money, one cannot make more time.

I had a B for ten acres and horse/barn duties. Driveway grading, snow removal (blade only) and the occasional trip into the woods for tree work. Trail maintenance too. It came along when we bought two more properties. Same work load, except for the increase in pasture sizes and the ability to...

Ahh...no. ARMS can be a good tool for getting more money and or qualifying. Just watch the timing of them against the markets.

Bold boys. Strutting around like that.

Close ditto on Buppies weather report. Too warm. 55 outside this AM, heading to mid 60's. Best of luck today, Buppies. Managed to get the lights all up. My metal roof just scares the crap out of me. I should have gotten the man lift out, but the setup time and movements around the house are...

Then try the movie, with the same title.

Spoiled in most everything. Instant gratification society.

Have you read the book?, "The Right Stuff - by Tom Wolfe"

The March of the Turkeys. Heading away from the frig? LOL.

Cities are already looking at that to fill the gap from vacant office and retail space.

That's not bad with the RTV bundled. LOL.

Ditto with the Buppies weather. 34 outside, heading to upper 60's. I might wash a truck or something today. I did eyeball the second story lights yesterday, just could not get the courage up to try that. Annoyingly, in my mind, I should do it. Still have not recovered the game cams. Prayers...

My wife gets next day deliveries on a lot of small stuff. I find that....incredible.

A few people I know cashed in on their homes and vehicles. Even tractors. And of course, they have their portfolios. They are all renting now, contemplating their next path in their lives.

25 outside this AM, heading to 55 today. Another nice day on tap. Lights went well. Had to get the drill out to hang them though. Those support beams on the front porch are like concrete. Sore from the overhead work. I am getting bold though, it went so well I am seriously thinking about the...

For a first generation vehicle, they seemed to have gotten it right with engineering, ergonomics and the market they are after. Not bad for a new company. There is another link on the site for the "camping experience". "The camp kitchen". Impressed...

A new neighbor actually complained about me shooting in my back pasture. It was the log splitter on some chunky wood. Definitely a city/suburb kind of guy.

Interesting. https://www.motortrend.com/news/rivian-r1t-2022-truck-of-the-year/

Freak them out - "Quantity has a quality all its own."

I had a B for like a decade, Got it the first year they were introduced. No major issues. Seat switch got finicky over time, field repair on a cracked front axle. Served us, well. Just make sure the machine was cared for if you can.

I started a thread in 2006 here on TBN about a remodel. That was one year into working on the property already. Nothing about this place is exactly the same as when it was purchased. Nothing. And I just finished opening our front porch this year to the original layout and style. Two big...

27 outside this AM. Heading to almost 60 today. The weather people are say 57. Need to hang some lights on our "new" front porch today. That should be fun, need to see if I can reach the second story roof line from the ground. I have this man-lift I should use. LOL. Wife wants to go hay...

25 outside this AM. Heading to 55. Was outside mostly all weekend, awesome. Step counter says just doing things around the farm was 5 miles worth of walking each day. Even managed a dump run. And recycled some metal, also. Kyle, you have some talent trying to fix that engine. Ron, did you...

My healthcare plan went down about 30 bucks a month. I had to triple check. It must be that once in a lifetime special. And in six months, I get to kick another kid to the curb, and it is just me and the SO. So there is hundreds of dollars more a month in the kitty. Life is grand!

If it is so perplexing or odd, why is not their rover heading to it? I bet it is just a breakup on their transmission data or a sly photoshop engineer. 😉

Good summary. I might add... 10. I don't care what others see, say or do, I am only interested in myself.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1113051/number-reported-deaths-from-covid-pneumonia-and-flu-us/

Yep. We normally have 400-500 on hand for winter stock. Maybe 100-200 during the summer. And yep, with the woman, she can handle a square bale. The horses just don't do rounds. They mostly rot in the fields when we tried them. The most finicky animal on Gods Earth - The Horse.

I have some with broken antlers too. Seems a lot more than in years past. I really like my Brownings. Had an issue with one, their customer service was unbelievably responsive in a very good way. Shockingly good.

Backs a little sore, that fingernail I crushed a while back, is still attached and most uncomfortable. Even with gloves, it reminds me that it is still there. I guess I need to look for xMas decorations to hang up today too. Positive thoughts on the grain/hay elevator working or next week I...

Frame cracked too...I say all bets are off with the ROPS. Yeah, I would send info to Kubota. You never know, they could engineer the heck out of a future ROPS and the accident you had may save someone else in the future.

39 outside this AM. Heading to mid 50's. Should be a great day to be outside. Got roped into moving hay yesterday. Ugh. 100 bales put up by hand. SO wants another 250 in the loft, so I need to move the grain/hay elevator up front to the barn. Rescued it from Mother Nature a few weeks back...

One can get caught up in the equipment.

Look to the third world countries, or those areas where vaccines are not nearly as available and see if you can justify your skepticism.

I would suspect, that no ROPS is going to fair any better with multiple rolls going down hill. So, how many times did it actually roll?

25 outside this AM, heading to mid 40's. Nice and dry here, just crispy grass. And that is alright by me. Nothing on the agenda today and that too is alright by me. I am giving the wood pile a rest for a while. I found the cat that got attacked by something the other night. Nice and gimpy...

Math or statistics?

Ahh...math needs to be seriously influence by social, economic and geographic attributes.

Don't take this wrong Eddie, but you have two different animals that have drastically different fencing requirements. Are you planning on doing woven for all? Or will you separate your fencing and pastures per livestock?

Agree. Totally. Good that your daughter stepped up. Unfortunate that personal acquaintances and even significant others may not have the skills to recognize "questionable care" when it is being done. But then, an advocate can still question care when one may not be able to. Should have...

32 outside this AM, heading to mid 40's. Road trip to Baltimore and back went well. Only flipped off two drivers in Maryland for seriously cutting me off to where I slammed the brakes and looked in the rear view for incoming. The last guy seemed really bent on returning the bird as he brake...

An interesting story of a plane and remembrance. https://www.panam.org/pan-am-inspirations/634-saga-of-the-pacific-clipper https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2021/12/07/pacific-clipper-pan-am-pearl-harbor/

30 outside this AM, heading to upper 40's. Quite the change from yesterday. I attempted to split some wood, the wood pile is still winning. Three full loads from the RTV to the wood shed. Doesn't look like I made a dent. Road trip up to Baltimore. Not much else on the to-do list. Horses got...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_monolith

Wow. That looks yummy. Think I will have some for dinner tonight. LOL. The kale.

It's the entrance to moon base Alpha. I am surprised they are stumped by that.

48 outside, heading to 70 today. Yes, your read that right. Cloudy, horse care and fence lines are the orders of the day while we move the herds to winter pastures. LOL. That means removing t-posts and letting them on to greener pastures. No round up, move 'em out, cowboy stuff. More like...

30 outside this AM, heading to lower 60's. I don't do weekends much, here on TBN, but then I got all confused as to what day of the week it is. I'll use the snow in Hawaii as an excuse that the world is slipping a little bit. Plumbing issues look to be solved. I need to up the timeline on the...

45 outside, heading to upper 50's. Nice. Ugh...what crazy past few days. So my buddy was a no-show at the splitter duty and that was OK. Seems the plumbing developed a gurgle when the washer was going. Thought the sink might be blocked...so out came the snake. Weird stuff going on, so out came...

Wow. I really can appreciate the craftsmanship into doing that.

Don't forget to add in the design engineers and the installation engineers and their collaboration fees. LOL. <- Not really, more of a nervous laugh.

25 outside this AM, heading to upper 50's. Like close to 60's. Friend coming over in a few to help split wood. Should be fun. Yesterday went well, all heading back to their homes this AM. FIL only blew up at me once, he clogged a toilet. Such is family drama. I stayed in the kitchens most of...

No.

My uncle's knife warranted a rehab. It traveled the world with me. https://www.swissknifeshop.com/collections/swiss-army-knives-by-victorinox Amazon has some decent links for covers too.

34 outside this AM. Heading to mid 50's. Sorry to hear of your on-going battles Buppies. Prayers for you. Stay positive and hang in there. Family is all here and settled in. All three buildings are occupied with sleeping women. Even the dog is female. Sigh.... Will start turkey and ham in a...

Or pear. LOL. (see earlier reply)... Great for pork.

Sorry to hear about the cat. What's a PT camera?

As someone noted, your cell tower has all the right players for streaming and internet. It is just a matter of finding a plan that has no data or throttling limits. You are looking for a data plan, try the service providers sites for HOME based internet connectivity.

You forgot to mention Bradford pears and their off-shoots. LOL.

LOL. No kidding, I had the EXACT same conditions and symptoms. Doctor - "And you wonder why you are having chest pains?" LOL.

30 outside heading to upper 40's. Getting ready for family making their way here for tomorrow. Should be a nice couple of days coming up. Interesting topic driveway markers....I use what they call step in posts for temporary horse fence. They have a step on plastic piece towards the end of a...

Web pages have graphics? I thought the red and back X boxes were script errors. Next you will tell me they have sound too.

46 outside, maybe the high for today. Cold front moving through...now. Need to go out food shopping for the family get together next week. Yesterday was me and the SO. First ever just me and her. I made spaghettis and biscuits after a day of cleaning out a building in prep work for cleaning...

21 outside this AM. Heading to lower 40's. Got busy yesterday with house hubby stuff. Managed to get a haircut, but that was an adventure getting to civilization. A normal 20 minute trip took 1.5 hours. Six accidents all going south on a road I was going north on. Too many Police to count...

eMail. checked account, and date changed from late 2021 to mid-2022. Too bad for me. I figured that out already, just by looking at my address info as a new sign up. But was hoping the queue would have different results. That means I will be over a year in the queue. This process could be...

28 outside this AM, heading to mid 40's. Looks like the first time we will run the woodstove during the day. The wood pile is still winning, looks like I have not even made a dent in it, and the wood shed has three rows of firewood split ready to go. Ugh.... Just planning and coordinating...

People are waiting in line for food. In line for food.

43 outside with a gentle rain. Heading to mid-50's today. Prayers for those ailing. Hope all have a good start to the work week. Looks like the holidays snuck up on us. Enjoy the time with family and friends. Be safe in your travels.

Highly unlikely. Perhaps for a NEW easement. You could try getting a break with your county/state government due to perceived value of land. Claiming that the easement lowers your land value and infringes on your rights to use your property to your full extent.

Problem is, they have guns too. LOL. ...and probably know how to use a mini.

41 heading to 48 today. Yes, spectacular moon. But just a few minutes ago, on the horizon, wow. What a sight to see. Another 500 years, and I imagine I will enjoy the view from a different angle. Never did get outside to just sit by the pool. It was a nice day yesterday too. Guess I mismanaged...

That is exactly what they recommended. I will make a trip to HF and get a look. We will see, my problem is time. I know I have exactly the same amount of time as everyone else, but I just cannot seem to manage it well. LOL.

48 outside this AM. Heading to mid 70's. Then a cold front moves through possibly some rain. Too bad, tonight (actually early tomorrow) is supposed to be a lunar eclipse. I managed to clean up the last of the debris and move it down to the burn pile area. I just don't think I am up for another...

Seems like a low budget moon landing gone wrong. LOL. Thems bright lights!

Don't forget 5G may require device upgrades.

Sounds like a business opportunity to me! I am your new mid-Atlantic distributer.

32 outside this AM. Heading up to 66. Should be a nice day to work outside. Need to finish up burn piles. Still moving debris from septic install. I had thought my grapple days were over when the wife got her tractor. But I can see now that implement that we never got sure would come in handy...

Is a good perspective. Now is a good time to look at what your actually eating and make some changes if one is worried about cost.

Tick...tick..tick... account still says "...late 2021". Sigh....we are talking about serious beer money savings and some SUDT each month.

The secret of life. Not just marriage. LOL.

34 outside this AM. Heading to mid-50's. Brilliant sunrise. Nothing on the agenda. Rounding up scheduling details for a family Thanksgiving get together. Need to break out the calendar and mileage charts. Hope all have a great day. Be safe. Get well soon to those ailing.

Silly question, but is the printer TCP/IP addressing configured? Can yo ping it from another device?

Interesting topic. My wellness days are called weekends. Yes. I am old school. I work until I don't.

41 outside this AM. Heading to lower 50's. Need to check on the burn pile, was smoldering mostly through the night. Do that and getting a roast beef sandwich slider with the SO were the weekend highlights. The log splitter is also at the repair shop. Sigh.... Nothing on the agenda for the...

It's the weekend, and it looks not to be raining. Seems colder out. Guess I need to pay attention to the weather reports. Need to do some more cleanup/cleanout on the milk house today. Move some tools around....find some space. May run down the road for some sandwiches and time with the SO...

I'd stick some drain tile and gravel where you have the water issue. Take it outside the perimeter fence. Are you planning on fencing off the round pen? Or are you leaving it in the pasture area? We used about 10 truckloads of stone dust.

Yeah, that crossed my mind a few times. Still one would think between noon and 5PM the roads would sort of be light in volumes....but no..... The never ending construction zones on I66 contributed too in their own special way.

Very fond of kale chips. But somehow there is just not enough of them to justify the work in making them. LOL

56 outside this AM. Heading to mid 60's, grey and slightly wet this morning. Had to run up to Baltimore yesterday, sort of shot the day. Just love the traffic. Lost an hour in it both ways. Unfortunate, but I have come to realize, I despise driving. I guess this area with all the growth has...

A day to remember and reflect on what others have done to make our country great. Managed to wash the mower, tractor and trucks yesterday. Put mower away for the season. Yippie! Of course this AM it is 46 outside and heading towards 70. A cold front will bring an end to that later this...

Diitto on wngsprd weather forecasting. Showers just passed us. I cannot remember what I did yesterday. Was outside all day. Just cannot get the log splitter running. Time for a new carb probably and a professional. Sigh. Was cleaning up milk house, moving boxes that have not been unpacked in...

Micro-plastics. We all talk about what we can see and feel, but pollution at the micron and nano levels is even more concerning.

36 heading to...wait for it...wait....wait........ 73 today. Mowed more grass yesterday. Promptly got mower stuck in front yard by drainage ditch. That cost some day light trying to get going again. I think grass is done on the "lawn" areas. Need to think about the perimeter fence lines one...

37 outside this AM. Heading to 70. Yep, 70. Think I will just be outside all day today. Maybe find something to wash. Big accomplishment this weekend was either a dump run or snagging coffee. LOL. I did park the bushhog for the winter. If the wind stays down today, I have some burn pile duty...

Oh, someone got their feeling hurt again. Why even bother mentioning that "heads up"......

I plan on continuing on like I always have. One makes due.

I'll third that. Keeps the vampires away too.

I just finished up paying for my new toy! A family member was downsizing, and was gracious enough to offer me this equipment. I stole his chain too in the process, and the SO wrote the check a while back. I'll test it out this weekend on the barn siding, and milk house roof. On the milk house I...

That's awesome for you. The price point is pretty good too. Let us know if you notice data caps or throttling.

I ordered Feb 9th. Less than 24 hours after receiving the eMail invite. The interesting aspect, a neighbor (less than 4 miles away), has been up and running since March. My account still lists late 2021 as expected delivery. However, my address now says late 2022, early 2023.

28 outside this AM. Heading to 54. Should be a nice day. Mowed the back yesterday. Forgot in this weather to take gloves. Man, it was a cold ride. Hopeful that grass will not need to be cut again. Front is on the to do list this weekend. Need to go with wife and get her truck serviced today...

What is the history behind a 10 percent raise desire? No raises or COLA for x number of years? Part of me says you cannot bargain on trying to get a 10 percent increase with what has happened to the economy these last two years. That's being out of touch.

Healthcare costs when employed by someone else are usually brushed aside as an afterthought. At least I never really looked into how much it actually cost my employer. I was only concerned with what came out of my paycheck. Being self employed and having to bare the full cost of insurance...

34 outside this AM. Heading to lower 50's today. May break out the mower, for the final time. One hopes. Need to do some grocery shopping, ran out of coffee. The horror, the horror. Hope all have a great day. Be safe. Feel better Buppies, the warmer weather....should help. Ron, interesting...

32 heading to 54 today. Fired up woodstove yesterday for the first time this season and chilled. Need to get the splitter working. Have zero split wood and split as I go is not an option with the axe. Hope all have a great day. Be safe. Drink a lot of water Buppies. A lot. Hope you and...

46 outside heading to 50. Maybe rain, definite first freeze watch tonight. Sigh.... Hope all have a great day. Not much going on. I took this pick...because it was not a Halloween joke.

Unfortunate, the only decent signal here is Verizon. For me. Neighbors have tried Sprint, AT&T, and a host of MVNO's. They all suck. My issue is Verizon cannot seem to offer their HOME plan to me, yet I can get any other plan available or through another service provider. All of course cost...

Ahh... Yes. Thanks, I did not think it was that. I can get, and do have LTE Service through Verizon and a MVNO. Yet, Verizon says this "LTE Home" service is not available in my area. It's a big rip off to me as a consumer. And Verizon knows it.

Do you have a link to this service offering? Verizon Wireless Internet Gateway Service

Loose lips sink ships.

Just wow on the machine! What a piece of art. Wow.:love:

We are sort of in the process now. Unfortunate the area of focus is on the working class and not the wealthy class. And we are super divided on what the issue is, within the working class. Meanwhile.....it's status quo.

52 heading to upper 50's today. Septic is all done. Reseeded area look like they made it through the last deluge. Recovering from the weekend. Attempted to resurrect the generator and log splitter this weekend since I had some free time. Did not go well. Also freed my hay elevator from mother...

And what is preventing you from having your own electrical sources for power? If you ran out of gas, you would need to go find more. Same analogy as running your batteries dead.

Our real estate agent would not even show me one of our current properties. Said she just could not sell me the property because it was that bad off. She had done the walk through with the wife a few days earlier. So the wife drove me to the property and kept repeating two things: "Keep an...

55 outside and raining. Mid 60's today and more rain. Listening to weather reports last night and you would have thought I should be building an arc. So far, looks and sounds like a nice steady rain. Septic system is all on line. They did a nice job. Wife slipped some guys extras for lunch and...

Speaking of decals..... The Kubota decals on my ZTR suck. Most have peeled off in under three years. The machine is garage kept. What is the issue here? Anyone else having issues with Kubota decals? Sorry for the thread hijack,

They said that about container ships too.

Yep. All fake news. Enterprise will not allow that to happen. /s

Earth flatten is happening outside my window as I type this. Very annoying. :)

The ones landing on the ocean platforms are fake.

Because in a year I might not be here. That is the status now from my address.

Somewhere many years ago, I saw a study that said we have no laid major rail road tracks since the WW II timeframe.

There are some really interesting studies on speed, distance and traffic loads. It will take a rocket scientist to develop the algorithms to generate the vehicles speed to a given point. Why go 70mph only to sit in traffic for two hours at a given congestion point. It may be optimal to go 45...

Same boat for us I fear. I am aware that a few of my neighbors, less than 10 miles away, have the beta up and running. I may be cancelling my order, as that appears to be the only message I can send. It is very frustrating where I live. I do have decent cell signals, but no vendor offers a...

I take quite the opposite approach. Currently in the transportation side of the industry some claims of driver shortages are in the tens of thousands. If automation can handle transportation, and it is making great strides... I am all for it.

Sure, look at transistors tech evolution. You can hold a trillion of them in the size of a wafer now-a-days. Look at how far batteries have evolved from the copper zinc disc days.

Or build a better battery so that the vehicle itself ends its life before the battery.

No wng, Have not. Between Mason Neck and Caledon, those are the two biggest hot spots for sightings of raptors... I will ask a friend who is a bird-watching disciple. He is not into the raptors but is the walking Britannica of birds.

45 outside this AM. Heading to upper 60's. Raining moving in for the next few days. Septic is moving along, excess rock, resurfaced turn around area for driveway. Supposed to get inspected today and then the trucks will show up for dirt work. Ran out of town yesterday just to get away for a...

Yes, YES. Connectivity is not the whole battle. The data plans are the key. Throttling and data limits will make connectivity a moot point.

Everyone has a price. So what do you do when they show up and are serious?

That's called a dentist.

52 outside this AM. Heading to lower 70's. Nice and windy, is drying things up fast. More digging today on septic/drain field. Hooked up to houses yesterday. Bypassed lots of old pipes. Got to examine old tank and watched the fill in. Tank was a lot smaller than anyone expected. Stuck another...

I'll second the trying another vendor approach. Maybe have a buddy tag along that has a different service provider like AT&T, Verizon or someone else. Examine their signal strength and phone type, from the phones setting. Do not rely solely on bar indicators. I'd do that research first before...

I am going on year 16 of a restoration. It has come full circle in the fact that now the newer parts of the home rebuilt from the ground up 16 years ago, require maintenance. In the original part of the 100 year old house all looks done except two floors needing refinishing, a few handles on...

Wait until the insurance companies figure out you are not brushing your teeth at a recommended minimum stroke rate, minimum time and not maximizing coverage areas to include upper and lower molars.

55 outside right now, heading to mid 60's. Rain came through yesterday at 5PM. Just in time for quitting time on the drain field. Only two more tile lines left. Not sure if they can work today since the soils is now....wet. Seems wet....is bad, very very bad. I worked on re-arranging some hot...

For small scale here in "Northern VA" it is breweries and wineries. I just don't see making a living selling "self made", "local ingredients" alcohol, finger foods, tasting platters and sandwiches.

57 heading to lower 80's today. Last day of the warm weather. LOL. Busy weekend. Notable achievement was getting less than half of the walnuts up off the ground. :sleep: Did get that area mowed. And I can walk without rolling on walnuts, in that area. Also, late Friday the tank went in, and...

It boils down to the person. Not their affiliations.

LOL. I get a few of those every few years. It's crazy. As a side note, your personal information still bleeds through.

Yeah...I was hearing that a lot yesterday. I got a good pic of the Lord and the SO looking down on me, just in case something funny happens. And I backed it up too. One can never be to careful with a Wife that knows how-to work equipment. ROTFL.

I tell you all, working that shovel was hard. LOL.

Happy Birthday, BEF. Hope Buppies and Thomas are getting better! Seems to be about upper 50's this AM with temps expected in mid 70's. More digging today on the drain field project. Got another burn pile where the tank is going. Sigh. I thought I had cleaned up the area, but the machines...

How does a farmer make a million dollars? He starts with two million.

Production in some instances, consumption in others. If you know how to play the capitalists current games, you will do well. Or you have the choice to just idle along.

Acorns are cyclical.

Some drama in this thread.

My Amish built shed, which we call our pool house is assessed at over 50k! I found out a while ago, that my assessors office was fond of a google maps like product. ArcGIS is what they use. They determine square footage by overhead pictures. So if something is reflecting a nice roof, like a...
