It has been my goal to build a long loafing shed for attachments. Back up, attach or detach and be on the way. Hopefully some day.

Or at least the tow tractor could have linked directly to the trailer, under the first tractor. That looks like an old Massey which has no frame.

They were probably saying "what took you so long, we've been waiting".

I had the evening milking, my next older brother took the morning. We always had about 4 cows on the family parcel and milked them to bring to the house and also to feed their calves. I had 6 brothers and 2 sisters and each one of my sisters had 7 brothers. Big family. I was the tail end...

I had a Sugar Hubbard winter squash do that 2 years ago, but I saw what was going on in advance and cut some of the wire mesh out to allow the squash to grow. This year I was repurposing the wire fencing and I wondered what the heck is this hole in the wire was from.... then I remembered, I did...

I have low, low hour L5450 with a Bradco hoe, without looking, it has somewhere around 500 hours. Barn kept, a beast and my favorite tractor. Low hours due to being on a remote property. That 5 cyl engine is SMOOTH and never needs glow plugs in our marine climate (down to 15 F).

Same here, but their route is nowhere near 170 miles. I'd guess 25.

I did that with a ceramic disc* and it hurt like crazy. I got vey little sleep that night and it seemed to take a long, long time to grow out. To this day, that nail separates from the skin farther down than it used to. * fancy word for a dinner plate. But hey, flip flops would be okay...

We are in our summer lull right now. The travelers won't be back from Canada and Alaska for a while yet, the resident's young are out of the nest and there is plenty else to eat. It takes a few days to go through a quart of food at this time of year.

My parents used Mercurichrome (includes Mercury, a neurotoxin) on us kids. Twitch, twitch.

Don't, just don't. Buying something made under out of country specifications is NOT the same as buying direct out of country.

Exactly. The last thing I need is some drunk's family successfully suing me because he hit my immovable mail post.

I have mine on 4x4 cedar posts set into brackets in concrete. I'd rather the snap-off of the 4x4 than a lawsuit given the day we live in.

I still love the sound of those old time Homelites. Newer saws remind of of 4 banger car sounds compared to big V8 sounds. Not that I want to go back to old time saws for cutting, but they are nice to listen to. As is my 496 ci V8 🤣

I think attractive women are from their 50s to their 70s. Less than that, they are girls or young ladies for the young bucks. Christy Brinkley at 71 (as Fuddy shows) is the cat's meow. Don't get me revved up on Dana Perino, the hottest woman on Fox.

For those that want to get their ducks in a row and not line up their balls.....

Yes, the balls give you up and down if you are using an FEL, in addition to side to side. Not as important if you are hooking up to the same pickup receiver as when you unhooked the trailer. On a FEL, fork frames with a built in receiver as Slowpoke has sure are convenient.

I'd just get a set of these. Telescope the receiver side a few inches longer so you know that you are under the trailer side if you line up your balls just as the picture shows...

At least they addressing the issue.

Referencing top handle saws, my Stihl MS192T seems to have a torn boot between the carb and saw ("intake manifold"). Flexing of the handle seems to be the issue is my guess. Curious if anyone knows if Stihl modified the boot to tolerate the flexing?

And then what? 🤣

Growing up the party line that we had consisted of us and the neighbors on the same road, which indicated a physical requirement, but it let us know our neighbors better (when we needed to butt in and ask for the line). Later there were other people from nowhere near that were on the line that...

Those are the same three CC saws that I carry.

I guess to them I have been driving collector cars my whole life. Currently 1983, 1999, 2003 and 2008. Wife's car to me is a "brand spanking" new 2015. I referred to it as our "new" car to a neighbor the other day, they laughed and reminded me it is 10 years old.

For me I think it is that the research time is way, way more than before the internet. Back in the day if I didn't know how to do something, I asked someone who did a few questions and went at it. Now it can be analysis paralysis.

I often see parts of bugs in the feeder trays when I clean them out. I figure it is off of their bills (technically they have bills, not beaks).

Or a dog with thick fur. My neighbor tried that with his malamutes, after a year for looking for his dogs every other day, he put up a fence.

Same here, when my wife has to get in the passenger seat of one of my vehicles, she will invariably ask something like how to turn on the heated seat. Me: the what?

Sometimes it is a week to go across the country (WA to NJ), the last time it took 1 day to get to that NJ distribution center, plus a few days to deliver. When it is a week, I am on pins and needles. They will take a wire, but that is expensive and a pain. I wish they did free ACH transfers.

Maybe thinking that if the envelope was delivered, the recipient might not open it for a while, giving them more time for the washed check to process? I am curious if you mailed it at a Post Office? Every 3 months I need to send my LLC's funds to my trust company so they can report federal...

Wait until we talk about old man's flat butt and needing suspenders because belts have nothing to hold onto.

So you are the one. Some of my trees are just growing their leaves back now, took a few years to recover. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

The GVWR of the new trailer.

Yes, those are very, very nice looking. Here, I am still waiting for a nice green.

A neighbor young lady down the beach used to take two dogs out on her paddle board at the same time. I was always amazed. She moved away, unfortunately.

What will they think of next? 🤷‍♂️

You sure got short. :eek: Pants sizes consist of two measurements, the waist size (first number) and the inseam length (second number), typically represented in inches.

I have a Kombi 130 from shortly after they came out. Rock solid.

I got down to my high school weight of 170 lbs. I went from 6'1" to 5'11+"and the waist from 32" to 34", maybe 33". So while the weight went back, other dimensions seem to have permanently changed.

So THAT is the pot at the end of the rainbow?

Maybe not a skinny 100 lbs., but 125 lbs. and 36x24x36 would be worth impressing. Posting for my son.

Nice one. What is its GVWR?

I once saw a person on a construction site that had his steel toe boots painted to look like flip flops.

I have never had to transport a roller that size. Is it normal in some parts to pull them down the road like that? I'd trailer it.

He must have been a city dweller.

400 pounds would be what? over a half gallon a day if he had birds all year if my math is correct? If he has them 6 months it'd be over a gallon a day? You sure it wasn't 40 pounds?

Good job!

First saw I ever used was one like this, but without the bow bar. Back when Homelite made real saws.

Interesting that they don't call that bath and kitchen paint yet they show a bathroom on the can. They do label the paint/primer combo as bath/kitchen. Thanks for the link. Eddie mentioned an exterior paint, which might also be an option.

I have already removed the old sheetrock. I had the air tested ahead of time by a licensed mold guy, there was nothing bad going on as far as breathing goes and that was shared with the tenant. The roof issue was repaired about 6 months ago after which the mold came back through fresh paint...

The replacement Mold Tough drywall is up. I see Zinsser has a paint/primer combination for indoor baths and kitchens, is that any good? I typically don't go for combo paint/primer. As far as exterior Zinsser mold resistant paint as mentioned goes, I found some for wood. Any advice on the...

The only mushrooms I ever eat come from the grocery store. I see them all over in our wet climate but I certainly am not going to eat any.

That must have been in the John Travolta dance era so you could show off your buns .

That is true even without a thick wallet. If I am driving for over an hour, the wallet comes out of the hip pocket or I'll be walking like old Walter Brennan with a bad case of diarrhea desperately trying to make it to a toilet.

Yes. Until they spread to my side of the fence ☠️👽☠️

Many of the after market rollbars are no longer available. My understanding was that lawsuits largely shut that business down due to lack of testing and lost lawsuits. That and the dwindling number of pre-rollbar tractors still out there reducing the consumer base. I could be wrong on the reason.

I am sure red helps, but you could always add red to the feeder itself, or to the imitation flowers where they drink. There are many colors of flowers out there, I think they figure it out. I routine see them come up to my security cameras thinking they are a feeder, hummingbirds are curious...

The only home brews I see are 4:1 water to cane sugar ratio. So clear.

We are both in the pacific northwest. I have loads of hummingbirds, including Rufous, going through 3/4 quart a day. You report you used to have many and now hardly have any. No offense, but I'm sticking with my method. The birds are there. I met someone yesterday that goes through over a...

Hard drives also put an end to having to handle all of those floppy dicks. Hey, that's what the girls called them.

I religiously use the 4:1 ratio of tap (from well) water to pure cane sugar, even to the point of reading the bottom of the meniscus. The only twist that I have always done is that I boil the water in the microwave without sugar. I pull it out while still boiling and dump the sugar in...

I don't plant wildflower packs, with our mild winters I am too afraid that some will naturalize and become weeds. We have too many of those as it is.

Odd, I am north of you and we have had Rufous migration since late March, right on schedule. You might be on the April path, but it is May now, so I am not sure what is going on your way. We are actually on the downslope of the migration pattern here, I am down to about 1/2 quart per day. It...

I used the wrong description, the fan does vent to outside. The dedicated vent is on the same attic wall as the gable vent.

Apparently I had a typo. I had that area reroofed by a roofing contractor and he started at the bottom.

The previous DIY owner did that, I had that area reroofed by a roofing contractor and he started at the bottom. Both my home inspector and I missed that that portion of the house was re-roofed when I bought it. I usually will not buy any house with significant DIY. I am guessing they had some...

I just bleached and painted, trying to save the effort of replacing the underlying board. The bath fan does blow out the gable vent. The underside of the roof looks fine but the top side of the sheetrock is somewhat grey. The previous owner roofed that area starting at the top and worked his...

That is the primer that I used, but I used a Benjamin Moore mold resistant paint. Good to know about Zinsser Perma-White.

I have a rental that I bought a year and a half ago that has had a nagging mold problem in the shower ceiling. The previous owner did a partial DIY reroof which created leaks above the master bedroom and bath when the wind blew which may have been contributing to the problem. I hired a roofer...

I bring my "long wood" out of the woods to the wood shed which is on a knoll. Long wood for me is 90" long, a length I can carry a few at a time with my grapple out of the woods. I pile them up, high on the knoll and cut them to five 18" lengths. I place the splitter in vertical position lower...

They sure are. I was at the tail end of a large catholic family and, apparently, my parents did not have much time to teach me things. As the story goes, our GSD "Bullet" taught me how to walk. There is film of it somewhere, he would sit down beside me, I would grab onto the fur on his back...

Same here, seldom ever need to cut a tree down.

I agree, it is a very impressive splitter, but I wondered what they were going to burn that wood in. It certainly can't be what we in the US have as traditional wood stoves. Lots of BTUs in those pieces, but like you say stacking them is a nightmare. Back in the day, I worked at a paper mill...

That would be a way to slow down a car thief, out a knob of a different gear pattern on the stick. Not that many thieves know how to drive sticks.

My dad was a hold out, we had a B&W TV until they stopped selling them at the store. Not that TVs went bad that often, but he was not the type to buy anything if what we had worked. Same thing with 3 on the tree, all the vehicles he bought had those until they stopped offering them.

I wouldn't have needed to cheat, I watch Leave it to Beaver reruns while eating breakfast.

Looks like 4 bolts holding that road sign in the middle of the round-about.

Agree, the returning birds do. The first location I hung a feeder always gets the most visits.

Getting close to spring peak season here, going through about 3/4 of a quart a day.

I agree with part-time, the leaves look more like collard greens than cabbage. Mine that I let go wintered over and sent seed heads up, which it looks like yours is doing. Did you not grow collards?

I recall reading that when the US car manufacturers first started having parts made in Japan, they contracted for certain specifications expecting to have to ride herd on the Japanese companies to meet them. After the parts went into service, the US companies noticed a drop in the failure rate...

His reruns are still on here early in the morning on an over the air TV station. RIP.

At least you didn't run over it with your tractor. I've never done that, but some have. I always set my saws down in the bed of my truck or next to a big tree.

Speaking of tape measures, I recently bought an engineer's scale tape measure. Feet with decimal, no fractional inches. Haven't used it much yet.

In College one of my friends was completely bald at 20, he bought all the booze. I ran into him not too long ago, he looked the same, I aged.

I'd think being on one tote would make it top heavy and flip.

Many of the ones that were here were made for much larger lumber than what is harvested these days. So they'd need new ones anyway.

I have one in the cigarette lighter in one of my older vehicles, the charger has a cigarette lighter socket plus a couple of USB sockets. The digital voltage display is nice, a lot easier to read than an analog meter on the dash if you are trying to tell how many volts your alternator is...

WOW! In full scale gardening mode out here.

Sorry, I meant thumb tip to middle finger tip is 9". Actually 9-1/2" if I really stretch it, same from thumb tip to little finger tip. Thumb tip to index finger tip is only 7-1/2" and is for when I am cutting for the local charity. They want 15" wood, so span that twice. 18" for me and 15"...

Rear handles are very nice for limbing. Just keep a good grip on the handles if the tip catches a branch you did not anticipate.

One calls me sweety, or sweaty, I'm not sure. You're old when you can't hear the difference.

I ordered some brass 3/4" female pipe thread to 3/4" male garden hose adapters. They have been in transit for a month and not scheduled to deliver unto April 11th. My guess is that they are coming from China. Glad I ordered early.

When I stretch my hand out, the thumb tip to index fingertip distance is 9". After each cut I hold the saw with my right hand, then span my left hand twice and eyeball a spot on the log for the next cut. I am within a 1/2" of 18" each and every time, depending on gloves or not. At the end of...

Every bull we had I called Otis.

Neighbor plants all kinds of exotic plants in their yard, I just hope they stay put. My yard is almost entirely native plants, or non invasive. English Ivy is a huge problem around here, amongst Himalayan Blackberry, scotch broom, tansy ragwort, poison hemlock.....

The trick that I have heard is to parallel a good battery with the dead battery with a set of jumper cables, then connect the smart charger. The good battery will keep the voltage high enough that the smart charger activates. I would take the good battery off as soon as the dead battery has a...

Thank you for treating Buddy to Sweet and Sour Chicken.

I loved George Foreman ever since he was young and trotted the American flag. God bless George and and God bless the USA.

yank it.

I have 3 of the NOCO chargers (two 2 amp and one 5 amp) and one Optima charger that I rotate around. Amazing how long the batteries are lasting.

Our Piebald deer seem to have died off or the trait regressed. I have not noticed Piebald in our Roosevelt elk but it does exist.

Koda is one beautiful dog!! Absolutely gorgeous. I wish my dogs would stay around me like Koda does for you.

I am getting over 10 years on AGM batteries in tractors, up to 15 years at the most. I do pull them in the off season and bench them on a maintainer.

8.5' high would do it !! Nice work.

I routinely prune the lowest branches off every year trying to create the first branches too high for deer, elk or cattle (depending on which property). Elk are mostly on one property and one of the orchards on a second property does get grazed by cattle 2 or 3 times a year. That one has stout...

All 4 are under cover. All exposed to cold, none are heated.

Poor little dog, doesn't anyone around have a leg?

No it won't. You will just have LA battery issues.

Voles here go under the hardware cloth below the soil level. They also in a few cases climbed up on top of the hardware cloth and chewed the bark there. I can't seem to win. My thought was to paint the trunks with plant guard, but still use hardware cloth. I have about a dozen young trees...

Thank you. That concept makes a lot of sense.

I don't know, I was looking at my sock drawer today and was thinking that I need to buy all new socks. I had a hard time finding any without big holes in the toe area. When I'd find two, they did not match.

I don't know enough about engine designs, but if a "factory delete" could remove the emissions for 4 years and leave the rest of the engine as is, could they not just add the emission carp back on in 4 years? Or 8 years, 12 years..... (if we keep winning the WH)?

My old L5450 hydraulic shuttle with an Everclutch does not roll when shut down. I have always assumed the clutch was engaged because it doesn't roll. I have never needed to pull start it, it always fires right up, even without glow when below freezing.

I hear painting the young tree trunks keeps voles from chewing on the bark. Anyone know of this? I have lost numerous young trees to voles.

So it is off gassing that creates the corrosion on lead-acid batteries? I always thought it was the acid wicking up past the posts. I learned something today.

I cage and prune fruit trees up until the lowest branches are above our Roosevelt Elk's nibbling height, before removing the cages. Roosevelt Elk are the largest of all elk, so deer are not an issue. Of course, I use larger root stock and pick from orchard ladders. Our elk are brutal on older...

I have never had terminal corrosion with an AGM battery due, I assume, to the gel not being fluid instead of liquid seeping up past the posts. That makes AGMs worth it right there to me. Not sure exactly why I don't have corrosion with AGMs, but actual experiences do not lie.

I completely agree. I go to great extent to not buy anything made in China. I don't always find made in USA like I want. But nearly anything outside of China has benefits to me.

I hit a sack of concrete on the freeway on my right front wheel with my old Mercedes diesel 240D at 60 mph (downhill for those that never drove a 240D). I thought to myself I would need front end work, for sure. I took my hands off of the steering wheel afterwards and it drove straight as an...

New dog on the right?

Have you thought of putting some counterweights hanging off of the back side of that lid to balance it and make it easier to open? Looks like it would be heavy. Maybe you have already.

I was following something similar except they were 1x6 fence boards. They were flying every which direction.

Ascending the first camel hump now. We have year-round Annas Hummingbirds which account for the neck, between the camel humps and the rump level (base level of activity). Our first hump is due to Rufous Hummingbirds going from as south as Mexico up to as north as Alaska for the summer. Second...

We occasionally leave a cow that has died for the turkey vultures and eagles rather that burying it or giving it to the local game farm. The local game farm has meat eaters (bear, lions, etc.), but the managers are picky, the cow has to have died within so many hours, etc.

Over there I am surprised they don't just add a bus pass around their neck and let them ride for free downtown.

The last paper that I subscribed to online had the daily printed paper format option, where you "flipped" pages. Maybe they all do. I found that the best, it only "presented" each story to me once. I found some of the other formats jumbled up where the same stories would come up during...

I worried before my first colonoscopy because of all of the negative comments that I had heard over the years. After it was done, I sure questioned what I had heard. It was a breeze. I cook in our house so taking the prep wasn't as bad as some of my cooking. Snip the polyps while they are in...

My BCS is only 9 HP. Nice machine, I use it as a garden tractor. Where are you located and what HP is your impressive machine?

agree.

I would think that there is so much money in potential Alzheimer's cure/treatments that it would be a world-wide priority.

Ask for a female doctor, they have smaller fingers. Just pray they don't have long fingernails. :ROFLMAO: Once my male Dr was on vacation and the front desk asked if I minded if a female Dr did my prostrate exam. I said that it was okay with me, but are your sure if it would be okay with...

My last one was 3 years ago and they completely knocked me out. I am probably due for another. My wife went in for hers 4 years ago and told them she did not want to be completely knocked out. In the recovery room the Doctor told us they had to stop because she was complaining. I told the...

Sex is interesting, but it's not totally important. I mean it's not even as important (physically) as excretion. A man can go seventy years without a piece of a$$, but he can die in a week without a bowel movement. — Charles Bukowski

I completely misread your post. I thought you had all those speakers connected wirelessly around your house. Looking back, your post says wired. I must have misinterpreted the "WiFi streaming" and thought that you were broadcasting to your speakers on WiFi.

Creative. Good job on the modifications!

Never even thought that Dolly might have had a husband. Lucky man. RIP Carl Dean.

I still have my old JBL L100 speakers waiting for me to do that. I never saw who took this picture back in the day :ROFLMAO:.

Is there any latency between the different brands of speakers?

I inherited my wife's grandfather's tools. He hoarded things and could never find anything. So I ended up with about 15 hammers, about 8 hack saws, about 12 electric drills,,, you get the point. He kept adding garage bays since he had a deep city lot to keep everything in. I think the...

I have not seen a Huskee log splitter in that configuration. Do you not need a vertical position?

Yes, you could have sold me one. I don't need it yet, but I sure googled them when Moss posted about them. I like to be prepared. Trouble is finding what you "prepared for" many years after your "prepared for" it. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Is that the "where's the beef" lady?

Yes, but it makes great "big kindling" for me. If someone tried to use it to heat, it is "gofer" wood. Put it in the stove and "go for" more. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Our Cottonwood Poplar is horrible firewood for heat, but starts the fire very well. Almost like big kindling, if dry, fires up easy and then it breaks down to coals. I use it to start the fire in the morning and move onto other wood. From a BTU standpoint it is about half or less than a good...

Split up about 10 of these poplar rounds today. I don't like poplar as firewood, most don't. But my morning wood has always been poplar, burns fast and hot and then is done. A good way to start the day

Pong was the first and last video game I played. Wasn't there two speeds to it? I googled Pong and there was no code to it, it was a hardware based game. Interesting, but understandable for the time.

Our "local mail" slot is completely gone. We do have a "misboxed mail" slot for mail put in the wrong PO Box.

Agree. Had they stayed as a mail order company rather than going to brick and mortar they likely would have been the next Amazon. When they went to B&M their assets became too valuable.

Well, he got it up. He might need medical care if it stays up there for more than 4 hours. Looks like a photoshop?

Was that after the Eagles put in their 2nd string QB? I think/hope KC is on the downslope as a team. Inevitable given their draft position after being so good for so long. I respect everything they have done, I just get tired of seeing the same team up there year after year.

I only pay by check if there is a fee to pay online or by credit card. In the last 2 years it has only been a roof repair contractor, an appraiser and an HVAC contractor that received a check. So basically everything is online. My tenants pay by an automatic ACH (transfer from bank to bank)...

I committed to completing 3 projects this year that I started 3 years ago. There is nothing more permanent than something put in temporary.

Been there. Nearing mile high. Beautiful country.

I predicted the Eagles, but only by 3. No way I wanted the tomato heads to win. I was overjoyed to see the Chiefs punked. Take your TV commercials elsewhere and focus on the game. Jalen Hurts the Chiefs.

Same state, and maybe county, as you. No tree protection laws would stop you from taking out a few trees. I do it on a regular basis. If any of those trees are western red cedar, they do not like their surface roots covered, they typically die. I can't tell on my phone what type of trees...

Bird was a great man and great mentor on TBN. RIP Bird !

Go Eagles! Chiefs, flop on your Swifties.

Eagles 27 Chiefs 24 No 3-peat

I am not sure that was nerves. Who spells it "E-L-G-L-E-S" ?

I'd get one of these for about $30. Cheap, foolproof real battery amperage tester.

I sure hope the Eagles beat the Chiefs. I am tired of seeing the tomatoes win the big game.

I switched from old style briefs to stretch boxers or trunks (not sure which they are) to keep things in position. As old man's buttt set in it decreased the back-end load which was loosening up the rigging. At that time things kept falling between the cracks up front which was impossible to...

On my first trip to the east coast, I took a shuttle to get to my destination, I forget in which state, and the driver kept mentioning the Appalachian Mountains. After a while I asked when we would see them. He cursed at me and said that we have been driving past them for the last 1/2 hour.

Back in the day when a young buck that slope didn't seem as formidable as it does today. 😱

Below 0? Holy carp! I am hunkered down at +28F at night.

Another advantage to a single level house.... You'll have a better chance of surviving a fall off of the roof. A good friend fell off of his, hit grass, broke his back, but it was repairable. He no longer goes on the roof. Me, I have a 4:12, so easy to walk on (so far). I typically use a 10...

Well, here is next weekend's prediction Eagles over the Commanders Bills over the Chiefs I expect both to be close games.

One downside to a single level house is that they can be expensive to heat/cool. Heat from lower levels rises to heat upper levels. Not so in a single level.

Eagles did a good job holding off the Rams and the Bills luckily (and I mean luckily) escaped an OT against the Ravens. I don't know how anyone can play in those temperatures, but I guess that is football in the NE.

When I was young, 18 years old or so, I worked for a carpenter. After building a few houses with him, I noticed that he always built 1 level houses. One day I asked him why and he told me that he targets retirement people and when people get to retirement age, they do not want stairs. He said...

Commanders over the Lions, I did not see that coming. Holy Carp. Gotta hand it to the Commanders, though. Brought in veterans, drafted a top, top QB and added a great coach. All in a one-year fell swoop.

Elk are so dang tall, it would probably end up in the cab if he was going much faster. But then we have the Roosevelt elk out here, a fair bit larger and taller than they are back your way.

Rams 27 Vikings 9 I was not impressed with the Vikings against the Lions and not against the Rams. 18 points total in two end of season games? The Rams are better than their schedule indicates. I pick the Eagles over the Rams this weekend but watch out. My dream Super Bowl is still...

I thought the Eagles looked fairly good, but I missed the middle section of the game. I was rooting for the Bucs; I have never been a fan of anything from Washington DC. No surprise on the Bills/Broncos game. Lions should beat the Commanders Chiefs should beat the Texans Bills should beat the...

I do both. For some reason I gravitate to the woods and in-ground gardening more than in-water "gardening". (I also raise oysters on my tidelands)

It is a pallet hovercraft.

If you loan them out, make sure they fill them back up with electrons before returning them. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

No, the liabilities and consequences are nowhere near the same. Being on the road with an out-of-control trailer due to improper tongue weight is not equivalent to knowing the load you are picking up on your loader in your barn. Maybe some on here have never seen an out-of-control trailer and...

One thing I appreciate about AGM batteries is the lack of corrosion on the terminals and lack of corrosion onto battery cable ends, auto body parts, etc. I also like to buy batteries with both the side and top posts when installing in a side post application. It sure makes charging and jumping...

I was going to do something similar with the loader on one of my tractors but quickly realized I could approximate the weight by how the loader was responding.

Note that the Californians don't mind all that water going through turbines on the Columbia river between Washington and Oregon rather than bypassing it. They'd rather kill more salmon as long as they get their electricity for EVs so they can be so green. Amazing. Sorry, I digress. Back to...

Pallet with a stuck drain plug

Are the TBN jail cell bars made of pallets?

That would work, but there is $200 bucks right there and then you have to un-hitch and re-hitch.

I understand the math and thought that might be where WinterDeere was going, but the setup was not described in any detail. So fair game. Didn't really matter anyway. Who is going to set up the arrangement you describe on a bathroom scale while someone is loading their trailer with a fairly...

I didn't have a bathroom scale that would read the 15% of my 10,000 lb. load (1500 lbs.) which is what I consider proper loading. What are you towing that a bathroom scale would weigh a proper tongue weight? I got my hitch on a promotional deal that included a 2" drawbar in addition to the...

It did work well. Pictures below were from my first attempt doing it with my phone in my left hand. I shoveled out the left side of the 3rd picture (which was mostly ash plus tiny coals), then made one more pass back the other way without holding the phone and it did a good job. Ordinarily I...

I have the bazillions of free streaming stuff, plus I pay for YoutubeTV and I get Prime because I accidently signed up for it back when and never cancelled it. Then also an over the air antenna to get the free broadcast stuff (about 60 more channels). If I can't get a game, so be it. But...
