I was at home for lunch today and spotted our local Red-tailed Hawk chowing down on a squirrel in my neighbor's front yard (see attachment). He wasn't too concerned with me being "up close and personal" with him. Of course, I was using all 10x of my optical zoom. Here's a close-up - and he was...

Did Muhammad get \"moderated\"?????? It appears as if our venerated webmeister started a thread, and it got deleted! (see attached) OK - who's the brave moderator that pulled the trigger?

Will \"Search User Profiles\" ever come back? Way back in the old days, when I first joined this site, there was a search function that allowed you to scan user profiles for pertinent matches. For example, PT425 owners in Wisconsin, or Kubota L345 owners anywhere. I used it all the time, and...

Looking for help in diagnosing a major problem with our lawn tractor. Our church bought a Scotts L17.542 on 8/30/02 and it now has 120 hours on it. After locking it up last week, with no apparent problems after mowing the church lawn, today it wouldn't move. There is a disconnect lever in back...

Does anyone know what FAS.exe does? It is running in my secretary's home computer, and shows up in the Processes section of Windows Task Manager (she has Home Edition). She brought the computer up to the office so I could "fix it", but I'm at a loss. At times the computer (a newish Dell...

I am considering an upgrade from my current tractor, and the Century has my attention, specifically the 2535. The big dealer in the area puts the C-50 loader on this tractor, which is a good thing, I think. However, in comparing the specs, it seems to come up short against most of the...

I stopped by a Tractor Supply in SW Fort Worth this afternoon and found some real bargains on various King Kutter implements. In talking to the sales guy, he said that KK was changing their standard TSC color from <font color="brown">dark red </font> to <font color="yellow"> yellow </font>...

I'm considering dumping my cable service and going with satellite. Is there a real difference in the basic programming, customer service or signal delivery between these two providers? I'm in the DFW area with a clear view of the southern sky. $35/month for 60 channels plus locals and DVR...

Cooper\'s BBQ DocsKnotInn mentioned that he had ordered a special anniversary package of meat from Cooper's (the mecca of Texas BBQ) in Llano, Texas. I made the pilgrimage myself on Saturday and have the pictures to prove it! As you approach the front door, you first see all the pits where the...

I just received an e-mail from Country Home Products that their 3-point hitch chipper is on sale for $1799 with free shipping. Sounds like a good price on a good chipper from a good company.

Northern Tool is handgun \"friendly\" I just did a google search to find the hours of my local Northern Tool and Equipment store, and saw this post. Having seen other discussions about some box stores that didn't allow concealed handguns, I thought some people might be interested.

You know how people are always taking a picture of their baby sitting in the wildflowers?

I just got a flyer that has about a dozen King Kutter implements on sale at Tractor Supply. For example, the 5' rotary cutter is $508.50. This may be a regional sale, but I checked 3 Texas locations, and the same sale is going on at all three. It may be time to get Larry a helper.

Just ran across this picture from 1966 of my Dad and his 3 sons. (I'm the good looking one ). Dad was a WWII USMC officer (looks the part, huh?). However, his first claim to fame was in 1937 (at age 16) prevailing in a competition to find the best scout in his SE Texas region. He won a...

On the way to work this morning I noticed that the city was digging out a large collection pond with a track hoe. Things weren't going so well when I went home for lunch. The bank had collapsed and the JD was sinking.

We've been clearing about 7 acres on top of the ridge for a potential home site. I finally cut some of the mountain cedar (ashe juniper) below the dropoff toward the creek so that we can actually see further than 100 yards. We've got lots of live oak, post oak, cedar elm and other smaller tree...

Help! I got down to the in-laws to pick up the tractor and head up to the ridge, and found that the rubber pipe on the hydraulic line just behinfd the filter had split and all the hydraulic fluid had run out. Replaced the line and refilled the reservoir with 6 gals of fluid. No action on the...
