    Sunburned!

    I have been reading about the snow and seeing the snow pictures all winter long. Kinda made me envious because I rarely see snow in the Houston area. Well, I know some of you folks are sick of snow by now and ready for spring. I feel your pain. Now you can feel my pain. Today I spent four hours...

The fellow doing the work will be using a 425 hp Steiger/Case/IH tractor and 20 yd. scraper. I had no idea how big of a rig he owned until he showed up yesterday and...

    Are canopies safe?

    I am referring to the ones supported only by the ROPS. It seems to me that if your tractor rolls over that the ROPS may do it's job in protecting you from being crushed but what will protect you if the canopy itself is crushed and is pushed down on you as you roll over? I was giving this topic...

    Dual monitor computer

    Recently my computer video card died so I shopped around on the internet for a new card to replace it. I wanted to buy a good one because the last card had poor resolution and viewing photos and other graphics was a disappointment. I shopped around and compared brands and prices and features and...

    My wife won a vacation!

    I just thought I would pass on a little good fortune that passed my way recently. My wife likes to enter contests on the internet. She is not picky... cash, cars, furniture, home giveaways, vacations... anything with value. One contest she entered a while back was being sponsered by an online...

    Bare concrete floors inside the house

    Well, maybe not exactly bare but pretty close to it. My wife and I just watched a show on HGTV where the folks were building a new house and did not put flooring over the bare concrete in one room. The contractor made a few cuts lengthwise and widthwise with a circular saw to make the floor...

    Found this in the grocery store

    I found this as I was walking by the magazine rack in a local grocery store so I bought a copy and scanned the cover to show you what Martha Stewart's new magazine looks like. A subscription would make a nice gift for any of you who might have a friend or relative living in the Big House.

    Rara avis

    Yesterday while driving from south Arkansas back to southeast Texas I saw something I have not seen in probably thirty or more years. We were traveling between Homer and Minden La. and as we rounded a curve in the road there stood what looked like a roadrunner right on the edge of the road. My...

    TC33D stalled, died

    Scratches on my tractor hood

    Even though I have only put 110 hours on my TC33D I have managed to put several scratches on the hood. The scratches were made by limbs scraping across the hood while clearing underbrush and making burn piles. I have not made any attempt to get the scratches out so I don't know what will and...

    It was sure good to get away to the country this past weekend after working massive overtime for the past six weeks. My wife, our seven year old grand daughter and I loaded it up and left the the big city last Thursday night looking like the Beverly Hillbillies on moving day. I had my...
