My 500' well is excellent pumping quality water since 1975, but with electricity going out frequently, I've been researching solar pumps, and found Rural Power Systems solar pumps. The kit comes with everything needed, and seems good. This is for whole house, not just animal watering. The web...

Yesterday I came across a solar well pump. RPS is name of company I came across, and it seems to be good. My well is 500' deep, 6" drilled, excellent water since 1975 when I had it drilled. No problems in all these years, except one pump went out about 10 years ago. From their site, seems I...

This is a hard question I know, at least for me. At first, I had ONE gun, but that is impossible, so I made it TWO. Mine would be: 1. Browning Auto 5 12 gauge, the hump back kind. 2. Browning lever action .22 What two would y'all boys want?

Boys, I just applied for a permit, now need to decide what to get. I know there are a heap of choices, but want to see what ye boys carry. Here's a short list: 1. No revolver. Too thick. 2. I have big hands, but want very small gun. 3. Already have a Ruger Mark II .22 and Ruger 9mm. 4. So, I'd...

Our heat pump evaporator coil just won't drip properly into the drip pan! Ever since we had a new 13 SEER Carrier two stage, Puron, multiple speed unit put in in '03, the thing has dripped condensate! They even replaced it one time. I had it serviced yesterday. Man cleaned outside unit, sprayed...

About 4" of snow here! Canno even leave me driveway.

Since I don't do so good in the mornings, I'm going to start a Good Evening thread!:laughing:

Beautiful day yesterday, but today got kindly cold again. I do think the backbone of old man winter is broken in our area though. That's wha' I say every year. I tell Ethyl, I say "Ethyl, the backbone of winter is broken." She says, "No it ain't."

Wow TXDON (even in abbreviating, I must use all capitols) either drought or flood, eh? Dreary, cloudy here in north Mississippi. Rain coming... Oh me.

Beautiful weather again here in Mississippi Prairie. Yep, there is a prairie. Sipping me second cup o' joe, downtown at local coffee shop, ate a great Cajun turkey sandwich. About 60ｰ here. Speaking of Java, why, oh why does an otherwise good, up and coming coffee shop want to put coffee in...

Wow, ronj, I was thinking Michigan was having a heat wave until I remembered ye winter in TEXAS. Looks like a heap o' other folks have that idea too, from looks of ye campsite. Well, here in Columbus, MS, we finally have some sun again. Rainy season is over now!! Whew, that was depressing, it...

Did I already comment about - wha'? - a Good Morning post goes on for this long!?! We boys ain't got much to do, do we? Heheheheeeee.... Well, there's that big bright warm round thingamabob way up in the air today. Wonder wha' it could be? ,are me world a bit warmer, almost 60°.

Happy anniversary Bup! Well boys, there's a rumor around that there is a kind of big, bright thing way up above earth somewhere that is supposed to give us warmth, food, all kinds of good things, even can darken our hide if we want, and has been known to start fires in various ways. BUT, ye...

Good morning boys. A bit unusual for me to be here this early. Fibromyalgia mess gives me a sloooow start in mornings. Sipping me joe, 38° here in northeast Mississippi, going to 41°, ain't seen nary sun in many a day. We do have a rainy season here in south - November through January. Cloudy...

Hey, mostly, wha' part of Missouri ye in? We're kind of wanting to move here, Springfield area, but in country. Our problem is about all our friends are here, not many in our GA retirement place, a bit lonely there. Oh well, let's hang in boys, we're gonna make it.

Well, about 50% of me roots are Scottish. Ok,stuck in Missouri because of ice on roads. Was supposed to leave for Mississippi yesterday, but roads slick as a peeled onion. Have to go through those Arkansas mountains from Mammoth Springs, Hardy, and if we make it to Black Rock where delta meets...

Boys, boys, I'm in Missouri a few days, 5° this morning! Windchill -15°! Me old bones canno' take it. But I saw that even Miami was only 65°. Whole world is cold. Me old truck fired right up, but she was like me, groaning, complaining about that thickened fluid in her veins.

Even here in Deep South, a good day to be inside. Oh me, I canno' wait for spring to come! Reckon it's warm here, 36° or so, yo y'all boys up north, but cold to me old bones.

Thanks boys for the birthday wishes. Now, back to our regularly scheduled program: rain. mist. fog. more rain. Oh me, this is getting to me. "Rainy night in Georgia. Rainy night in Georgia." Sing it Lou. We need someone to sing for us here.

Thanks, boys. I'm 66 now, been paying into SS since I was 12, wha', 54 years now? Never taken a dime yet. Yep, chances of gubmint going belly up are mighty high, mighty high.

Well boys, I reckon I was born on a nasty, wet, rainy day like today, me birthday. Oh, by the way, this is a news fact: Gubmint is going belly up end of this month, not nary a dime left to pay anything. I know this because I'm due to start getting me first gubmint check next month.

Boys, the south does have rainy season. Every November - December, and spreads into January. Oh me, a miserable damp cold that ye walk through. Ye push the cold damp air as ye walk. Chills ye right to ye olde bones I tell ye. 45 of those chilling º here this morning, grey clouds all over the...

Birthday, and New Year!! Happy! 28º at me GA house. Nice though, no wind, sun out! Burn me pile of limbs today.

30º here at me GA place, very damp. Chills ye old bones right to the core. Plus - I got that nasty flu on Christmas Day! Took flu shot, but it missed this mess. A bit better now, but y'all boys hang in. Hope ye don't get this mess.

Morning, or, afternoon boys. Rainy weather here in Georgia before and after Christmas. Augusta area had the most rain ever recorded for December 24. Plus, Christmas Day - I got that ridiculous flu that's going around! Took flu shot, but yappari, didn't work for this kind of flu. Woe is me woe is...

Oh me, spend some time cleaning the pool. Hep me, hep me. We ain't got nary sympathy for ye sod, not nary bit.

Good rainy season morning, boys. I've figured out that yes, we do have a rainy season in America, in the southeast anyway. November and December, every year since I've been kicking. Only took me 66 years to learn that. Rainy, cold miserable day all in all here at me Georgia place, Mississippi is...

32 early here in GA, then went down to 31, not up to about 42, supposed to be another good day! Me Mehicanos are here working on me carport soffit, other boys working on wife's screen porch off her office we had build last year, so it's bang bang bang bang, eyeballs and elbows at me place this...

52ｺ here at me GA place this morning. Been absolutely fantastic weather lately, but rain supposed to come today. Which reminds me of some stuff I have to do outside while it's still dry... Oh me, work is pushing me, and I don't push easily. A lot of purple finches (they're actually kind of...

30º here this morning, fire going, beautiful day, sunny and no wind. Me belly doing good from yesterday, and leftover just now for lunch, mmmmmm... Hope y'all boys had a great Thanksgiving Day too! And good weekend, and safe travels, if ye have to drive anywhere. Keep'er between the ditches boys.

A damp 54 here this morning. Rain, rain, hard rain, Sunday, then a bit more yesterday. I say, yes, we do have a rainy season in the deep south. November! Rainy season I tell ye. Got to start my annual 11 gazillion leaf raking chore today. I have a system, start at back of house, buildings, work...

27ｺ here at me GA place this morning, yesterday was absolutely beautiful! Perfect outside working weather. Today should be similar, with rain coming in here too tonight. Old Ron way up in Michigan, man, that's the ticket - get in ye RV and come on down south!

I even use that stuff too Roy. Mainly though I'm wanting something to kill bacteria or wha'ever, fungus, y'all know, them bugs that are always trying to kill us and our equipment some way or another.

Speaking of gelling diesel, y'all boys up in COLD country, can ye just try to run ye tractors in winter too? I know ye've already thought of this of course, but seems that's really the best thing to do. Even down here in fairly warm country, mine sits too long sometimes.

28º here this morning in GA, but getting to mid 60s today! Great. And, me builder boys finally came this morning to finish me screen room deck and addition to carport. Whew, be glad when that work is done! It's always something, now, I'll need a pole barn to put travel trailer under since it...

Oh well, glad I've got a good supply of firewood. That's all. I canno' endure the cold well. I cannot'. And look where I live. Whew, y'all boys up north, I don't see how ye stand it.

Oh me boys, here it comes! The cold. Me old bones just don't like cold weather. 36º here this morning, very windy after rain all day yesterday. The tropics keep calling me...

I knew the Good Morning thread would be the first one here today! 24 this morning in GA!! Whew. Me old bones ain't ready for winter. At least I have a warm fire going...

Aand now, back to our regularly scheduled program: still ho' here! As usual, even though I awake at a decent hour, whew, takes me some time to get going. Well, y'all boys have a good, heart healthy day!

Good late morning boys. Whew, it takes me a loooong time to get going these days, fibromyalgia mess, etc. Wake up early, but just canno' get going. Okay, yes, back to regularly scheduled program. High 60s going to high 80s today, still mighty hot! I still do better in summer than winter. Think...

About 68° this morning here in GA. Time for my second cup of coffee. Got to finish my wood cutting, clean up today. Whew, one thing about owning ye own place, no matter which easy chair ye are in, everywhere ye look there's something needs doing.

70º going to about 88 today, and heat index way up according to radio weather man this morning. Whew, I sweated like a ______, fill in blank, yesterday just piddling around. Going to get a new chain saw to do some clean up cutting.

No chill here yet, but coming soon enough I reckon. Another "Rainy night in Georgia…" here. Cloudy this morning about 72º going to 80s. A bit cooler. I'll be complaining about the cold soon enough! Happy Sunday boys!

Here in Deep South, still ho'. Yesterday was 94°, whew, brought the sweat out while I was rearranging my lumber pile - again. Reckon we'll get cooler weather soon enough, then, I'll be crying for some warmth. Me old bones don't do good in winter.

Not much change in weather here yet, lot of rain yesterday, Rainy Day in Georgia for sure. Kept me from doing my limb clean up job from last storm. Still in 90° area this week. Y'all boys have a good, safe day.

sixdogs, oh me, I read that word, standoffish as - stand of fish! Excuse me while I go make another cup o' java, stronger this time.

Cooler here finally, going to 89° ye olde weather says. I might go to me dove spot today...

Well boys, first day of dove season here in Prairie Country MISSISSIPPI, but way to ho' for me to go to my stand I reserved for this year. Have to wait for a cooler day.

About 70ｰ her in Prairie, but getting ho'. Dove season starts Monday, I have a place reserved, but might be a bit warm for me. Supposed to be a cold winter though. Have a good day boys.

About 70° her in Prairie, but getting ho'. Dove season starts Monday, I have a place reserved, but might be a bit warm for me. Supposed to be a cold winter though. Have a good day boys.

66° this morning in the Prarie, but going to 90°. Better than it has been.

It got so ho' here the other day, some local cows in a corn field froze to death. Corn started popping, cows thought it was a snow storm and got so cold they kicked off. :shocked: :shocked:

rsw, yep, I think the bird is indigo bunting. Wish I could say I took the pic, but I didn't. One of my hobbies is bird feeding in front of my large window overlooking our woods. So far, I've identified 47 species. That includes buzzards, crows, etc., anything that's a bird got on me list. I...

rsw, man, ye done lost me - unless ye're cleaning ye thingamajig early in the morning when it's cool. We're in the dog days here. Ho', mighty ho' lately. A foul kind of heat too. Won't be long I'll be longing for some warmth. Me old bones don't like the cold.

I'm thinking of having a 34x36 lean to added to the 32' side of my block garage (separate from house). It will be same 4/12 pitch tin roof, 6x6 posts as needed, gables covered, but rest open. Actually, this might not be a lean to, but more like an extension off garage, the 32' side. How does...

About 70° here this morning, really nice morning. Going to about 93° or so... Wait, weather, heat index on radio... High 97°, heat index, 106° - wow. Next week, worse they say. Oh well, I like summer a heap better than winter! I sweat like a race horse, but we have good well water to drink and...

Well, 72ｰ here in northeast Mississippi too this morning when I finally stirred. Me old fibromyalgia seems to tell the difference in the barometer. Looks like some of the TEXAS (ye MUST write and say TEXAS in all caps) rain is headed our way. Stay safe boys. Huh? Not nary 72 one half or...

Well, 72° here in northeast Mississippi too this morning when I finally stirred. Me old fibromyalgia seems to tell the difference in the barometer. Looks like some of the TEXAS (ye MUST write and say TEXAS in all caps) rain is headed our way. Stay safe boys.

Good morning boys! Had to change from air conditioning to heat this morning. Cold front moving through. Had me joe, dealing with daily pain, but usually gets a bit better after a few hours. Y'all boys who do not suffer from fibromyalgia - get down on ye knees right now and thank The Lord ye...

Ye need ye coffee, Colombian water, java, joe, Swedish gasoline, JD.

Hehehee, yep, me too, but it was '69-70 for me. Now when I go back it's good. Except the ridiculous flashbacks, but that's just like fireworks, and I like to always sit with me back to a wall.

Humid day here, but I love warm weather. Just talking to me neighbor who was digging on stump, I started sweating. He got it out, but not with the F350 diesel (it was F350, not 250), and got some poison ivy in the process. He's doing good, using his Deere 650, '80s era he said, nice little...

Well boys, woke up this morning to old boy across the road trying to pull a stump with a diesel F250! He had to make a new drive for all the cars they have and a daid poison ivy laden tree is in his way. He cut the tree to about two feet, but that stump is solid! I was sipping me java watching...

If me wife takes her SS a bit early, will she still be able to get 50% of mine at her full retirement age (66)? I've searched and researched, but canno' find an answer to this one. I'm 65, not taking SS yet, she's 64. So, we would like for her to begin her SS, then switch to 50% of mine when...

62º here this morning, one coffee so far, cooked me breakfast all by myself!! That's about the only thing I can cook, I make some good eggs. Looks like a beautiful day, except for my doctor appointment.

Wow, Ontario is warmer than here in Georgia! 43° at me house this morning! But, sun shining, should be a nice day. Finally no rain. Good morning boys.

Yes, a very Happy Easter to is all! Low 50s here, high today only about 58 - whew, still misting rain. Oh well, some day, some day Old Sol will again come out. Soon to church, my local church has two services every Sunday, 8:45 (man, I canno' do that anymore!), and one for my body - 11 am...

Yep, rain here in Georgia this morning, and 50°! Rain here all day yesterday while I was driving here. Well, my grass cutting plan for today will have to wait until Monday. But it'll be wet ground. Easter Sunday is supposed to be sunny, Monday too, so maybe I'll cut Monday. Have a blessed Easter!

Well, due to my pain, my "good morning" today is at 11:57 central time! Can hardly get going about every day. Me batteries must be a bit weak. About 40 something this morning here, still a tad cool for me old bones. Y'all boys have a very GOOD day doing whatever it is y'all do.

About 30° here! Frost on me windshield. Sipping me java, which I wasn't supposed to do for a fasting blood test, but I forgo'. Got to remember that tomorrow... Have a good day boys.

61° now, but low of about 40°. Rain, rain, rain. In Mississippi it looks like it's raining all over the world.

Low 60°s here this am, but a beautiful spring day, birds chirping like they're happy. Feeder full of goldfinches and a flicker or two. Not using heat nor air so far today. Again yesterday, used both! Daug, keep on coming south!

Well, yesterday I used heat and ac! Turned it all off last night, but had to turn heat back on this morning. Beautiful day here in northeast Mississippi, but spring is having a tough time breaking through. Eeehhh, think I'll get me second cup o'java...

42° this morning in Columbus. I was thinking, I wonder if this means a cool summer? Year round summer, year round summer... That's wha' I'm needing.

Oh, wngsprd, that does hurt. So sorry to hear of ye loss. Our chocolate lab mix is about 9 now, I'm already wanting to get her a younger brother or sister to help us train. Rain again here today, and very cool for April 6. Heat just came on... I've learned that I was born for the tropics.Year...

Oh me Ron, now that pic is my idea of THE WEST! Where is that?

29° at me place this morning. Got up to about 67, but I couldn't get going! Actually, fibromyalgia pain keeps me from ever getting started until about noon - every day. Today was worse. Please, warm weather, I'm waiting on ye!

26° in Mississippi Golden Triangle. Me bones ache. Fibromyalgia kicking in bad. I was born for tropics.

Just looking for opinions from anyone who has actually used a Nest. I've been reading about them since that came out a couple of years ago, and it seems like it would be just the ticket for a house we have. Them boys are a bit proud of em, but might pay back. What say ye?

Y'all boys up north don't know nary humidity. Speaking of which, humidity is going down around here since yesterday. Feeling a heap better outside. Now, I'm wondering how our hurricane season will be.

What time ye want me there, mostly? :cool2:

Moving slow here as usual for me. First cup o'joe is done, breakfast now. Cooler here, storm in gulf must be affecting us a bit. Hope our coast fairs good this hurricane season!

That's a great looking tractor! Well, seems weather here in northeast Mississippi is beginning to change a bit from summer pattern. Cooler this morning, and cloudy. We'll be into hurricane season soon, and sure hope we our coast does okay this year. Never fully recovered from Katrina. Still...

Must be about to rain everywhere! Same here in Mississippi prairie. Low pressure, and causing me old fibromyalgia pain to kick in worse today. Moving slow, as usual for my mornings. One good cup of coffee so far. Watching Todd Carmichael finding coffee on his Dangerous Grounds show! Met that...

Well, happy birthday there, top! You whippersnapper.

Great, brin! Need that cool air now! Good afternoon/morning! I woke up about 11 am after driving 400 miles, arriving at 3:45 am. So, me day is messed up! Truck lag. Oh well, glad to have another day anyway, even if worn out.

Rainy season here in GA! An unusual summer for sure. I don't think I have ever seen so much rain and cloudy days here. About 72 here now, and won't get so hot today. Sipping me java now, moving slow, as I always do in the morning. Daug, drive ye RV on down! Hookups here too. I have a small...

Damp drizzle here in GA too, and cool. Sipping me first cup of joe now, going to see my brother in law who just had his bladder removed - bladder cancer, doc said cancer is all gone now, but the old boy said he's so weak, if he tried to snap his fingers, he'd break his arm. It's about a three...

Good morning, boys, from Tokyo! I'll be going to bed soon, after I eat a snack. Looking forward to getting back on me tractor! Y'all wake on up and get started.

I found a Kubota T1600H for about $1,700, and know nothing about these lawnmowers, except that Kubota makes good tractors. It has about 450 hours according to the ad for it. I have read about the hydrostatic fluid being a bear to change/flush air out, etc., but otherwise I can't find much...

Hope this helps - a site listing non-ethanol gasoline in U.S and Canada: Ethanol-free gas stations in the U.S. and Canada

Ok, I finally got a tiller for my JD 2210, learned a little how to hook it up and use it (new to this tractor stuff). I had already tilled this garden spot a couple of years ago with a hand tiller, but to avoid roots/rocks, I first used my subsoiler to go over it a little to break any more roots...

Since I joined this forum, I hardly ever come here any more simply because I do not like the way it works - technically, I mean. Example: I cannot stand how no matter what I try in user controls, it always takes me to the very last post in a thread! I want to read the posts from the first one...

I have a 48" Bush Hog rear mower behind me 2210, and wonder if there is a way to connect a bagger that could pick up leaves. I'm trying to get ready for fall and getting tired of raking. I only have about 1/2 acre to do, but been raking it every year. Can't afford much... I use the leaves to...

I got this thing from Harbor Freight for my 2210: Top photo shows my mower attached without the Quick Attach thing. Bottom photos show the iHitch type attachment. In the bottom photos, everything is connected except the top arm. How do I attach it? I went by local JD dealer today, and mine...

Subject says it all, almost. I have a mobile home, 1964, 10'x50', that I want to make into a flatbed trailer. I searched this forum, and now am having some doubts about doing this after a few things I read about laws, etc. regarding using old mobile homes for trailers. The widest part will be...

Okay, found this forum too, and like it! I think I will be learning for a long time about my JD 2210, let alone about farming/gardening! I am from farming stock, but city born and raised. I hardly know enough about farming/stock, etc., that I don't even know the questions to ask:o ! Anyway...
