What a difference 5 months will make.

We've changed over to the 'stuffless' toys and the Nylabones to chew on.

Thanks for the updates jk. Many of us have followed you from the start.

I hope you bought yourself dinner first. 😉

Maggie is 5 months old and 48#'s now.

He's filling a large drum inside the van with diesel. The drum had a 1" strap holding it in place. I first thought he's filling farm equipment but I figured I'd ask here to get more opinions cuz it was odd.

Ok, I just found it curious and wondered if it was kosher. It's not like I purposely photo'd his face or called the police. Thanks

Why would anyone be filling diesel in their van? Farming equipment? Central Florida. Seemed odd.

Our new addition. English Cream Golden Retriever

Ok, to add to this. It was in the teens a few of the past nights and mid days in the 20's. I did start to buy diesel at a new place when I also get off road gas but it's not a pony tank but I will not buy there any longer and grab some 911.

Ok I was able resolve with heat gun and everything is back to normal. 🤪 It looks like the tractor will spend the next two weeks in my garage til we head south. Now I have to break the news to my pickup. 🤣 Thanks to all.

Thanks. I'm trying the heater but may put a heat gun on aswell

Hi. GC 2410, I haven't used my tractor in a month. Stored outdoors now for the first winter, temps in 20°'s. Battery is on trickle charge and I turned block warmer on an hour ago. She started up fine but died in 30seconds. Hmm, seems like fuel issue. Look under at fuel filter, full. Shut off...

We get it free because they don't deliver to our home but they'll only give the smallest box for free

I am getting another quote but I'm anticipating it being similar and why I'm wanting to install a system myself. I've done pex work before with either crimping or using Shark connectors. Here's what the system quoted would be. 48,000 gallons

We're building a new home and just priced a salt water softener. WOW, have prices jumped in 5 years around here. Sure, the two systems I had installed previously were before COVID but I feel they're just using that as an excuse to gouge us. The other two salt systems to eliminate iron and hard...

Never big enough. 😉. I've filled my 36x42 with vehicles and "precious keepsakes" 🤣

Can you do it now without making a groan sound? 🤓

As a school photographer who gave away combs 20-30 yrs ago, I'd always shop around for funky colored combs to give away. The kids loved them but then the nurses made us adopt the practice of "comb and throw away" Sorry kiddos, blame the nurse so we ended up buying black combs so the kids didn't...

Reminds me when I had Molly blessed last year. She sure didn't understand why this minister was throwing (holy) water at her. 😂

I thought it was fitting to post this here as a laugh

If those EBITDA's are correct then he'll have no problems selling the business. And then he can open his own dispensary.

Must be speaking of Willy Nelson because ol' gator wouldn't be bringing politics here. 😉

and who might that be gator?

I know I'm old but I still enjoyed the dental hygienist leaning up against me but cushioned by the hefty air bags. 😉

Hmm, I'm 63 and last night it was 0 but most nights it's once. I do drink about 8oz of iced tea at 8-9pm.

Twice? At only 50? Time to cut back on that liquid intake after 7pm. 🤣🤣

Thanks, Molly was 13 in May but she fought through diabetes, deafness, 2/3 blindness, neuropathy and a year after being diagnosed with bladder cancer. We spent a week in Boston for radiation and has been on chemo treatment as well. She was a fighter but she finally couldn't continue and we had...

Well, we knew this day wasn't far off but you always hope they hang in for years beyond bodies are able to. It was not to be. Molly crossed the bridge today to doggie heaven. Rest in Peace sweet girl. She will be greatly missed. With grandson at 1yr old.

Come to Laconia and join the few hundred thousand already here

Create a fake gmail account to give them. I've done that to give good reviews to my commercial stores when corporate required us to get a minimum amount of reviews. I did this cuz I hate to bug customers to do them.

She probably just hit no receipt instead of paper only.

While some want to deny the food inflation by buying "deals" the inflation is real.

There are still some around but like Winter Deere said, not as many as years ago. They were a Mass. based corp. The Fribble! My kids loved the clown sundae

I'm generally a casino blackjack player but while I winter in Florida for 4 months I play Texas hold em poker with my fellow community residents. It's a $10 buy in and .25 antes. We play for around 4 hrs every tuesday night and I almost always lose $8-20, I consider it cheap entertainment.

My wife was also told to freeze a water bottle and firmly roll your foot over it to exercise it.

Get your wallet ready and then you'll have to schedule an appt with a dr who knows what they're doing.

Could you take a pic of yours on your machine now?

GC 2410. I'd like to replace the 3pt stabilizers. Anyone find a decent priced non-oem replacement?

I'm remember Radio Shack asking me for my ph number in the 80's. 555-1212 was my go to 🤓

We would usually have a fountain soda or ice tea with our diner lunch but their prices have gone to $3-4$ now. I'll now get an iced water and now they do the same labor for free. We used to chuckle when we saw seniors only get water and now we are doing the same. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Put in a fridge and recliner and you never have to leave!

Ya, the burger flipper is getting $20 so guess what the secretary making $22hr wants now?

My wife made the mistake by spending 1500 at GoodFeet. Whatta waste. She ended up going to a podiatrist who gave her an injection, put her on steroids for a few weeks and got her buying good shoes. Much improved in time.

Tour company name? How many days did you do?

True. Crazy that some would still call them a necessary evil. 🤪

Not sure but just in case. 😉

Happy 13th Birthday Molly. She gets her birthday treat.

If you don't think the fire and police depts are needed I'd suggest you eliminate those depts and see how it affects your safety and property values. My town has neither water or sewer depts and yet we do just fine with property values very high.

We drove across the country our first day there and as dodge man said, the roads are narrow. We're cruising in our little Nissan on the wrong side of the road and you can see the hedge had a band of hedge missing about 3' up. It was only an hour in our drive going 80kilometers (55mph I think)...

You don't want to hear what the locals reportedly do there when their bladders need emptying. 🙃. Still a must to do.

Beautiful GF clock and 9/11 memorial. 🇺🇲

How you enjoying their food? We weren't thrilled, especially breakfast.

Why not include two beauties?

I'm sorry to hear that Fuddy. My deepest sympathies. 💔

Great photos. Enjoy the history.

The ditches on our road are approx. 12" deep so you drop and raise as you reverse. Easy. Good luck

Your avatar. It's your cats tongue, right?

I like my RatchetRake because I can backblade the leaves and debris out of ditches and shape them as I go along. Then take rake off and scrape up the leaves or blade it across the road if just stone and silt. https://www.ratchetrake.com/video_compact_tractor.shtml

Ditch work with my Ratchet rake. Always needs to be done after the winter snow plows.

Ireland is a beautiful country and should be appreciated. We will return with a better camera and return to the many castles, ring of Kerry, cliffs if Moher and the green pastures with the old churches.

Trying to cross state borders looking so innocent. STOP IT! Border walls, NOW!

It's your wife's car, right?

Gold design around the perimeter? 😂

Salad bowls from gas stations!

Everyone snowless in the northeast again? We are in central NH

You just have to ignore them for awhile. 😂

No show store.... I guess the kids just go to Walmart and try them til they find a shoe that doesn't hurt?

We were prepared!

The Cardinals bested the Sox that year unfortunately. Shoot. Ck your pm's Mo. I sent you one.

Just curious. How will you getting an EV help with the noisy truck mufflers?

Buy a Stanley? Nah, I have half dozen of the free Horror Freight ones hanging around.

Anyone see the 1,000 acre Texas solar panel farm that was totaled by a hail storm? Good move

None of your business but I certainly don't get a check but answer my second question you avoided

You don't know what I deduct yet you brag about your handout. What would you tell the working poor who take 0 deductions about your handout?

Perhaps you should recite that to yourself while shaving.

It's a business deduction. Your handout the same?

These people think nothing of getting the 10k handout that's funded in part by their neighbors but would never think of knocking at their neighbors door and asking for the handout but if the distribution of monies is done by the gubmint then all is well.

Yup, I need one in Florida and have one up north. Idiot plumber must've swapped the lines in the guest bath. Oh well, make note to bring it down next year. Ya right, like I'll remember that 🤣

I haven't seen them in years! My truck came with the white lettering so I've replaced with same. Bleach brite works well on cleaning them and I've tried to keep it original. She sits in garage for the winter.

It wasn't to many years ago that whitewalls were blue til washed off. My '11 F150 still has Goodyear white lettering but the new 150's seem to be all black.

The cars seem to do fine in your garage with battery disable or on trickle charge. I leave my golf cart plugged in for 8 mos we're not here.

I don't care what mode they use as long as they teach basic math so the "youts" don't need a calculator or register to figure change. Our schools are graduation HS kids with third grade level of math. Real good.

They're doing a good job now without nuking anything. 😬

I worked for a guy while in college who maintained a synagogue and we'd have to set up 20 chairs for the Saturday service and 150 for Wednesday night bingo. Priorities 🤷🏻‍♂️

We purposely spent $650 on change dispensers connected to the pos (point of sale/register) to avoid confused uneducated staff making change. The manager fills it and the staff have to hand out the bills the pos tells them to give. We must make it easy or they'll be giving wrong change their...

That and Alexa is where I've drawn the line. Nope I'm in FL right now and turned on the roof wires to avoid ice damming after 22" of snow in NH and the look at cameras to shut off when it's melted. How could you not love that? lol

I fall into the category of loving all the WiFi gadgets and the like. Granted I'm talking about multiple locations residential and commercial, I have 23 WiFi switches/outlets and more than that WiFi cameras operating right now. I don't carry all my keys all time and if I go off for a few days...

Funny video if you want to feel old. 🤣

MTV was hard rock at one time and VH1 was more soft rock and pop. Both ere entertaining for awhile but MTV changed to junk tv now and VH1 must be gone.

There was Smitty's in Tilton (more than an hour from you) that had meals served during the movie and I believe they still do. We went once and it was pretty good.

I'm not in New England at the time but my plow guy we received 22" in the lakes region of NH. Yikes

You're the youngest child in the family and you're eligible to collect SS.

Auto insurance is crazy here in Florida but it's no wonder when you see the commercials or billboards where the ambulance chasers advertise the huge settlements (250k-$2mil)they get for small accidents. I got a small dent in my rear bumper and the dealer got $4k from my insurer. The insurer...

Lets try to be mature and not make this personal and closed. The economy sucks and 75% of the people agree.

Ya, we were working on getting manufacturing back a few years ago and then something happened. Hmm, I forget...😉

I've seen a few Cali based flipping shows use assembled on site cabinets and always assumed they were lousy mdf with plastic feet and therefore lousy. Not the case?

Don't worry it's an election year so the msm will bury most negative economy stories to help their guy.

I photographed a huge urban HS (in Massachusetts no less) in the late 80's and early 90's that had JROTC along with a firing range in their HS. We thought nothing of it other than Good for them, preparing for the armed forces.

You have no say in the leadership in this country who continue to overspend?

Seriously? What do you do when your hot water heating is leaking, walk away or shut off the main?

See what pols Tyson Foods is giving money to and how they vote. ie: Follow the money.

You're doomed! 😂

I get the digital version emailed to me but haven't seen a printed version like you for years.

Occasionally on my son's cape but eye dormers help with climbing to get to the other dormered side which I believe is a 4 or 6/12 to clean out gutters that are unreachable by extension ladder. Like I said, it bothers me more now than it ever did. I used to have a standing seam metal roof with...

It's gone away like the ash tray.

Who needs bell bottoms? Never mind, you're too old! 😂

I'll still go up on a 10/12 roof at 63 if needed but I'm not as comfortable as I once was.

I'm the youngest of 4 and I'm old enough to collect SS. I'm not for 4 more years but my mom said she now knows she's old. Ya, you're 87, you're old but still going strong.

I've always see the ground down in residential and up in commercial and hospitals. Ultrarunner?

Yes but do you mount with the ground on top or bottom? Also, do you put screw lines vertical or horizontal? This is important stuff! 😉

Why, to my knowledge, they still haven't been even mentioned about being inducted.

IMO, a few alphabetically that should be in before many others. Bryan Adams Greg Allman Bad Company Badfinger BTO John BonJovi Boston Joe Cocker Etc..... https://ultimateclassicrock.com/artists-not-in-the-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame/

But ABBA and Todd Rungren is. 🤪

She didn't even think she deserved to be in there. Someone talked her into it so she responded with that new song. Bass ackwards 😉 Like she deserved to be in there before Boston or Dave Matthews. Joke

Diversity over everything else. There are 4-5 that deserve to be in there already.

Casual agents for arguments? We can discuss and disagree on music and never argue. Let's go for casual discussions.

https://www.iheart.com/content/2019-10-15-15-outrageous-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-snubs/

I've been noticing the inductees being inducted into the RRHOF and who during the 60-80's still haven't been and I think it's a total joke. They should just change the name to the Music Hall of Fame. Seriously, Dolly Parton in before Foreigner or Boston? There are many more that weren't rock...

Number 5 for me.

It looks like it can only be done in the News Feedback section. Post New Scroll down to News Feedback and you'll see a tab for polls

It just happened again. I'm on this tablet with personal and business for over 6 hours a day. It has only happened on tbn. My wife who has the same tablet who doesn't come on here has not seen it at all.

Didn't my screenshots show the url? securenetguardian . top

I'm just clicking on tbn and this pops up. I do not have McAfee. I use a bookmark on Safari. Don't care for the app.

Yes I do. This is for the administration.

I use an IOS tablet completely updated. This hasn't happened on any other site.

This is what I do.

I received both of these McAfee screens while on TBN today. I could only hit upper tab in order to remove.

We saw him about 6-8yrs ago in a 3k seat venue. Thoroughly enjoyed it as I've always been a fan. He did stand for the concert IIR. I've also seen him online, fb maybe in an interview. He certainly had a bit more hair in the 70's. 😂 edit: it was actually 11.5 yrs ago. I don't see where I can...

Do you feel like I do? 🎵

PH had a huge influence on me in my early 20's for which I am grateful. He was a common sense man with values I tried to emulate.

Anyone who thinks the medium and lower income folks aren't struggling due to high gas, food and clothing aren't paying attention.

I hate the tongue bars. Why do you want to advertise that?

The Christopher Walken one was good because we like love him

What was your CB handle?

I'm not looking to start any political conversation but no one I've spoken to is opposed to LEGAL immigration. Put in your paperwork, wait your turn and don't allow any taxpayer funded handouts. The end.

Newcomers... you mean the illegals?

Transistor radio was good for AM radio to find talk radio especially Paul Harvey and the Red Sox games

Priorities.

Ban from Front Porch and Rural Living. Allow them to add to the tractor forums.

We spoke occasionally and he would not hold much back in his posts. I'm pretty sure he was finally banned. I'm not sure if he returned with an alias but I doubt it cuz he couldn't bite his tongue.

I recently went over the 60yp hump so I'm not sure I like your classification. 😬 I told my kids 35-55 was middle aged 55-70 is sr citizen but as they went over 35 they no longer agreed with me.

We're men, we're not supposed to care about feelings. 🤣

It was brought up because we were talking about people who whine to the mods

Or when your son (the cop) tells you about the new young recruits they have hired. 😬

It's M's playpen and he makes the rules but in my experience, he only acts when someone complains and that can be a snowflake mod or member. edit: it's like someone whining about someone using a nickname for them, petty.

She loves it as well. Sure, the large grocery delivery costs her $10 for the driver tip but she'd gladly pay that to save her the hour of fighting the crowds. We'll reconsider it when they undoubtedly raise the membership after this honeymoon period.

I've had a member complain about my sig who is anti-gun. He also has been discussed on this thread. There are whiners who need to get over it. Look past what bothers you.

My wife recently signed up for Walmart premium membership for $40yr which includes free delivery of her groceries as well as any item for free shipping or delivery. $0.10gal off their gas and free Paramount+. Good deal. We expect the fee to rise but we pay Amazon Prime a lot more.

That's how my uncle in rural CA raised his boys. It was strange to a New England city boy but I now see the advantages of it

Are you guys suggesting that the Stihls sold on Amazon are big box store quality? and less than small dealer quality?

I hope he gets more than just 10% 😉

The member we've been discussing was either banned or went away the same day this thread started and the day after the GW thread was closed. 🤔 on edit: Now I'm seeing activity Sunday and today so someone's changed it.

Dopey

After all that, I'm going to add a receptacle below instead of that funky plug combo. It just looks weird. Thanks all

I see the decora highlight now but I'll pass at $28.48 with shipping. thanks again tho

Other than a power hungry postmaster once every carrier I've had have been very good,

Just pointing it out, that's all.

Does everyone know that any post you make on Front Porch doesn't add to your count? I'm sure that's why they move certain high count threads (except the GM thread) to that area.

There is one member that if you use shortcuts of his name it becomes *****. How does one get that special attention?

Don't you hate it when your neighborhood has a meeting about the troublesome neighbor and you're not invited? 🤣 sending you a pm Rusty

Just chilling. Her diabetes has left her with neuropathy in her rear legs and drags them on the sidewalks here so now she wears sneakers so she doesn't bloody up her rear toes any longer. Almost 13 so one day at a time.

Ok. I only looked on Amazon. Thanks again

Winner.... Thanks I tried this this am and all is good. I may decide just to add a receptacle below cuz it is an open inside bay. Thanks all!

Thanks grs but the house has decora switches.

Easier to preach than to practice sometimes.

Then my posts would never be seen!

Please explain to me a bit more

Decora ? Don't see it

The 3 wires lead up to the fan/light

Hi all, I'm looking to add an outlet to the double switch plate I have in this toilet room so my wife can get in a nightlight. I knew I'm supposed to use a gfci outlet in a wet area so instead of adding in an old construction outlet below, I decided to put in the combo switch/outlet shown below...

There's a couple of sitcoms we enjoyed and bought the complete set of cd's and when we watch them, there are scenes that are never shown on tv because they were cut to squeeze in more ads.

If my Patriots can't be in then I'm rooting for Buffalo, our fellow AFC Easterns.

Yes ditto. I got the bolted on hooks which work great lifting anything with chains. I also have the ratchet rake which I use for cleaning out ditches from rocks and leaves.

I keep my pins and necessary wrenches and punch to get old pin out in a plastic horror freight ammo box on the tractor with me so I can swap out anywhere, anytime

Nope. My blood likes to run fast with any little cut though

Having to take baby aspirin.

To us it was when the baseball players seem like kids.

When I've installed my chains, I've had to be sure the connectors arent sticking out more than an inch or they'll rap against an arm under the left rear. I forgot now what that arm does but it needed straightening out after it hit continuously after a storm.

Littleton store?

Isn't your motto... "Why do it today if you can put it off til tomorrow?" 😂

Merry Christmas from the PixPup Molly!

We're getting 1-3" of rain so I was out making water bars on the road to allow the rain to get past the snow and ice and into the ditches. Time to get out of snow country for the winter.

Recent storm

I drove by exit 167 today and it didn't seem to be that much. You got lucky in your area. 👍😂

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but Ive placed a drop light under my hood of a rv that was stored outside for awhile. I had signs of mice before chewing an air box and nothing after I placed the light and closed the hood.

I use my ratchet rake for ditch cleaning, gettin leaves and rocks out. Good tool for that issue.

I use a product called Pull it Out on oil or hydraulic stains on my blacktop but that is a huge area to paint this stuff on.
