Brother, your from Pennsylvania? Try a half teaspoon of real maple syrup in your coffee, it doesn't take much! My wife is out collecting sap right now. Good stuff.

I just wonder... Under what authority does the gubmint have the power to regulate any of this? It's not in the constitution.

And I forgot to mention, for the last 2 years we burned almost nothing but ash for 2 years thanks to the boring beetle. I only took down the cherry to make room for my orchard. The cherry definitely burns hotter. The woodshed greenhouse really seems to get it dry.

I use a 25 ton hydraulic splitter, I've never tried splitting cherry by hand so I couldn't tell you.

When we bought our farm, it came with a 12X24 corrugated wood shed. The south facing wall was rusted out. After welding up the old steel frame we used the poly clear roof panels as the wall. So I kind of made a wood greenhouse. It is full of cherry that was cut and split last spring and has...

Even though it's been reported that lucky charms is healthier than steak, I'll take a steak every time! Nice looking beef. 2 Del's and a strip in between?

Your #3 choice look nice and affordable too.

That is a great idea! I live in snow country too. The 933 looks perfect. I would want 3 though, wellhouse, sump pump and pellet stove.

I bought my nice Ariat boots in black and kiwi polish works fine. I keep them looking new. The only reason I don't have a pair of Tecovas is I can't decide on a color!

Congratulations

49 degrees and rain here in NW PA. The good thing is, you don't shovel rain. God bless,

My wife makes a pickled jalapeno called "Cowboy candy" it is excellent. Just the right amount of heat, great flavor. I use it on everything, dogs, burgers and sausages.

The snow is falling up north here, now its chili season! I won't do the reaper either, the hot covers the taste. I'm a Thia 4 on the scale, I was told "Heroes go over 5, don't be a hero".

What caliber are you using?

I have 2 pair of Ariats, one pair for working the farm, one pair for town/church. Both my pair are well broke in and stand up just fine until someone knocks them over. Im planning on getting a pair of Tacovas, they are nice looking boots and are supposed to be quality.

Antlers are nice JK, but every big one I've ever shot was tough eating. I pick my deer like groceries these days!

"I got a friend" right up there with "I know somebody". Makes you an Xspurt! Yeah, I went to college too, the academy was tough, very tough. Probably why you didn't go. But don't let that stop you from expressing yourself on matters that you have no actual experience in. Lots of that going on...

Not holier, just honest. Most all are, they swear an oath and take that seriously. And you seem to know alot about a field you never worked in. Kind of, what, Niave maybe? Got most of your opinions from cnn and msnbc I guess.

It's usually the type of guy that is a bit dirty or compromised that thinks everyone else is also. We dumped that cheap swill in the storm drain behind the station.

Yeah, I held that wall for over 30 years, rarely would we find a thief amongst us and they would be prosecuted to the fullest extent. It was rare, almost non existent. Get a few too many DUI's?

I think mine are Lymans also, I haven't gotten that one out of storage since the move.

And go to prison...

About none.

Very nice setup Sig, I use a hill for my short range backstop(100 yards) I still need to build a backstop for my 400 yard range, now that I have my backhoe moving again! Safety first!

A soap opera, with horses, cattle, helicopters, lever action Winchesters and Colt M-4"s! I could do with less "language" and "Love" scenes though. Rip with the rattlesnake was epic... I'll probably watch the next season...

Amen Brother.

We would love to go full time too.

Same here, I wish I could find some way to use the hide, I hate wasting anything. And NO I am not a hoarder!

I shot on my high school rifle team too. And I own the same Rem. 580 sights and all!

Our deer are big here, lots of farming going on, they eat well. My Aunt owns a beef farm, Angus, we eat well too! Only raised one pig, came in around $3 a pound.

Don, If you are only getting 35# of meat you either need a smaller caliber or shoot them less! We get about 75 to 90# pounds off the average 2 1/2 year old doe, yup doe, better eating. The meat IS the trophy! We have egg producing chickens but buy our chicken, last time it was $17 for 40# of leg...

Well... yeah, so?

We use those yellow "snatch 'em" straps we get from Harbor Freight.

Well now, that's putting it bluntly. I think most are concerned about giving your post a "like"...

Newbury, you need a cousin with a Dozer! Much easier!

What your doing is deflection. A BLM operative that was photographed in the building, at the time the DC police (illegally) shooting a protester, is not in custody.... Neither is Ray Epps, another government employee. Look it up. Same or worse crimes, vastly different outcomes.

And BLM was doing much worse for more than 2 years leading up to that, Burning down entire sections of cities, "Mostly Peaceful". You outraged? I think not.

Like when they attacked and destroyed federal buildings in Portland? Police stations? Most were NOT prosecuted, hell, IF they were even arrested lefty politicians were quick to bail them out. Strangely, about 450 American citizens are being held without bail, and some without charges. By...

Amen Brother...

Some people keep more than that in the bedroom!

There you go!

I paid $3400 USD for my well used Case 580 CK. The pins are still tight, she has plenty of leaks but she works and runs great. I am replacing hoses as I need too. I don't mind too much, it was affordable and does everything I want it too. I know I can get my initial investment back anytime I...

It was not a pen, it is an old dairy farm and this was a pasture. I couldn't even imagine the smell if it was a pig farm!

You're right, but it was my cousins dozer. I had to wait on his schedule...

Well, I finally got through this. The $183 hoses did not fit, PIA to get returned and refunded. Found another place, Stiener Diesel service that did the hoses right, for $55! Got them on in 2 feet of manure water and mud. My good hunting boots started leaking. My wonderful wife actually helped...

It seems to be the new normal, sadly. The world is being repopulated with unraised children.

I'm about two miles from a paved road! I actually don't even have a trailer big enough to haul it. The idea was that it would live on the farm, there's always something that needs dug up or moved. And yes, she is old. The rims really could use cleaned up and the front tires are trash too. I...

Oh she's an early one alright, 1967! She is supposed to weigh in at around 9k. The bald tires on it now appear to be AG tires. The fit would be much tighter if they had lugs still on them! Thanks for the wisdom.

That's why I listed the manufacturers names, from talking to the locals all tire brands are different. They say one thing on the sidewall, the tape measure says otherwise. My neighbor has a backhoe that he just put tires on, now he can't get to his battery door without removing a rear tire! I'd...

North Western PA, I have to be honest, that is not hard hunting them, just having a rifle handy during daylight hours. We only shoot the ones near the fields and garden, if they are out in the woods we don't waste the ammo.

It's my first real big piece of equipment. I use it in an agricultural setting. I believe it has 14.9 X 24's (IIRC) on it now which is bigger than the original tire size. Armstrong on one side Firestone on the other, both baby butt smooth. I've been told that different manufacturers sizes are...

Pickled Ham Hocks, just found them online...

WE put in 18 fruit and nut trees last year, we did a complete wire cage wrap around each tree about 3 feet in diameter. lots of work, but it worked.

Good advice right there. I load for probably 15 to 20 different calibers, and I learn new stuff all the time too. I've never loaded or even fired an all copper bullet yet.

I shot 19 this year, most from the porches with either 22/250 or .223. My wife scored 11 with her 5.56 or .243. 30 total. They will reinforce for next year, good marksmanship practice and load development. The fight never ends!

Well done 'Ol Chap. That's living up to the screen name RiSKY!

That is sad. Sorry to hear it.

I have fond memories of the "Dinosaur Burger" Girard Dinor, Girard Pa. Sadly now a memory.

The worry song, Joe Walsh

Reach for the sky, Billy Squire

Wheel in the sky, Journey

I tried that too, the ground is very soft and I can't seem to get a grip on it.

183.89 to rebuild the power steering hoses! Ouch!

Knee high boots Brother! My cousin supposedly has a dozer... We will see. The spousal unit dropped the hoses off to get rebuilt, they should be ready to be picked up on my way home.

It had no steering whatsoever. Oh, I did it at about 3 pm, honked on it till dark, probably just made it worse! My weekend is Monday/Tuesday.

Ever have one of these that just doesn't end? I mean by leaving your Case 580 CK buried 2 feet deep in old manure with 2 blown power steering hoses? I'm at work now knowing what I'll be doing when I get home...

Haha! The truth will set you free!

Ah, come on man, It's just one more law/regulation!

But they do...

I use almost 100% wood, we have a pellet stove back up.

Way cool Brother.

Anyhow, back to the '94, I have used Murphy's oil soap and water to "clean" the smoking smell off wooden furniture. I wouldn't use it on the steel though, just the stocks.

Has anyone noticed most cities now reek of marijuana smoke? It always smelled like a roadkilled skunk to me. I don't live in a city anymore, but occasionally I work in one.

Thanks Brother! It was a loose fitting, it looked fine until I yanked on it!

Hello, I have a JD 790 with a 419 front loader. I switch between a plow and a bucket. For some reason after taking the plow off the pivot arms won't extend as if you were trying to dump the bucket. I've pulled the dipstick and the tranny/ hydraulic oil appears to be full. I read the manual and...
