Great story CalG

Prayers. Did he have family?

Happy Birthday Ron! I hope you have a blessed day, and your foot gets better. Also hope you get a big piece of cake. Speaking of eating sweets, have any of you heard of Warren Buffett's eating habits? Drinks 5 cokes a day. 7 times the normal amount of sugar a day. McDonalds breakfast biscuit...

Looks like you're ready for an Outdoor national !

Great pics! I hope you realize how blessed you are. A wee bit jealous of some of those rides. :)

You are strong. People can be strange. You do look like him. Thanks for sharing. You can click on his profile name and see his posts dating way back. My dad left me when I was 8. We were glad the alcoholic/playboy was gone. Skipped the state and never paid child support. Grew up...

I need to buy some tractor tires. Notice anything funny about this Wallyworld webpage? I Need 2 new front tires and rims for our bigger tractor. We made the mistake of letting the dealer load them with water. Rims rusted out badly and messed up the beads. Anyway, originals are 23 years old...

Wait a darn cotton picking minute! Weren't you on morphine yesterday or day before??? Everyone puts their pants on 1 leg at a time. Except those of us who have been there done that. :)

Complimentary, no charge, with love from Texas. :) Heat dome has been over us, and is shifting to the east coast. Hope you get them passed fast! Sorry about the pain. Prayers. g'night y'all.

Prayers. I don't even know what to say, but we are here if you need to talk about it more. 50 is very young. How much runout? If there are any chips or debris in the scroll/jaws, they will runout. Most 3 jaws have a way to indicate if you just finger tighten the bolts that mount the chuck...

Happy Father's Day to all the dads here. I know there are some great ones in our group. I agree, happy birthday to the U.S. Army! Haven't had a chance to watch all of it yet but watched the first 45 minutes. My work/University puts a lot of officers in our military branches. We have some...

Absolutely great pic Ron! Thank you. Inside job would be my guess.

I have 2 friends that cut, rake and bale hay. After them both separately baling hay this past weekend, they both called me and told me they were worn out. Both said they were ready to give it up. Each have 2 a/c cab tractors plus non cabbed tractors.

Similar to you and Don, we had 17.78mm. Unexpected. Billy, condolences to your wife and family. Hard to lose the last of a generation. my mom is the last of 4 siblings, and she has only 2 nieces and 1 nephew left out of what used to be 8. 1 of her nieces really dotes on her, since she has...

FriendWithTractor, aaahhh the excitement of new land! It looks good. Is it for sure yours yet? Thanks for the pics. Please keep us posted as you re-tame it. Would love to see it, if you give it a haircut. Happy, did you have Starlink satellite? My friends that have starlink rave about it...

Ahhh, but when I eat too much, I feel like a pig and I sweat! Took at least 5 gallons of oil to Walmart for recycling. Watching Pro Motocross outdoors today. Some good racing. Celebrated oldest daughter's bday, she made travel plans for her birthday. She had some friends over. Didn't want...

Glad to hear Della is back in action. Scotty, it takes a while to grow a thumbnail back. Did you drill a micro hole to relieve the pressure? Ouch. Popgadget, hope you didn't cut off too much with the peeler. Buppy's prayers for Holly and getting your equipment going. Ron, great pics. Love...

I'll bet that Triumph 1200 twin has some low end grunt.

I'm a big fan of box turtles. Had 2 for backyard pets when i was in middle school. They'd come up on the porch to get fed. Not shy.

Good morning!

Sounds like a really nice trip. Hope the place wasn't too sentimental...did you find any cool old stuff to keep? 2 maybe 3 questions. Didn't they give seniors some sort of extra discount? Aren't they only allowed to raise a max of 10% per annum (which is ridiculous too)? Glad you beat them...

got the small shredder blades done, fresh GL5 lube in gear box, promptly went and cut about 3 acres of fairly deep grass, had to go kind of slow because I only have 25 pto hp to deal with. Grass has not been cut since last year. Gator is sold. Nice puppy Buppies. My best friend lost his 3yo...

Sold our old Gator today. Sale went easily. Church was good. Wife wants me on a diet to lose some belly fat....she wants me to go low carb, but not totally carb free. Putting the new blades on the old Deere LX5 cutter. Need to suck out the old gear lube in the gearbox and put fresh. Been...

asbestos socks? :)

Prayers for those fighting the fire, especially those trapped. Been a long week, and I'm behind. Monday was off for Memorial Day. Still jimmying with the headlights on SUV. Just when I think I have them fixed, they act up again. It is a short or shorted connection for sure, I can "Fonzi"...

Sorry to learn that Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty has passed yesterday.

And some gave all. Memorial Day remembrance. I hope all will take a moment to reflect. If you know a gold star Mom, Dad, Wife, Son, Daughter or relative, reach out to them today. Prayers for our fallen and our active duty troops.

That sounds delicious. sorry about the anxiety. Prayers for y'all. Billy, hope you can save the hemlocks. I don't have any strawberries, but I'm celebrating with some chocolate chip homemade cookies with some ice cream. Prayers for our team, our great Nation, and for peace in the world.

Saturday night I shredded after dark for about an hour or so. My rear facing light is out. Need to do some electrical testing of the turn signal switch, and the light switch. Front headlights work, but are a bit dim being 23 years old. There's plenty more to cut, as I only did a few acres...

Groupies from the 60's !!!

Hope y'all get some rain soon too. It is hit or miss.

Popgadget, I feel the same about small tires. I just did a small 8" x 2" tire on a small electric scooter. I gave the brick and mortar store $17 for a tube you can get 2 on amazon for $10. Hard part is getting the tire back on without pinching the tube. Put a tiny bit of air in the tube so...

Got up, fed the kitty, let the flock out of the coop. Since wind was dead, started spraying some Round up. In the 30 minutes, the wind started picking up, but I was done for around the house. researching the couplings on my 430 loader's dual SCV connections. Not sure if the threads are...

Parent Robin and a young un.

Beautiful Phil! sorry about neck. Ron, is that a robin? We have one down here at work that hangs out under a huge oak tree. There is a sprinkler system and the ground stays damp most of the time. Hope Della keeps getting better. Hard to keep a dog with energy chilled. Guess y'all can get...

That's a tangled mess BEF, hope everything is ok when you get it out. I would use heavy duty sheet metal shears to cut through. Drew, I hope the new SUV works out well. At work, working on a trinket giveaway thingamajig doomaflatchee at work. Will make a couple of handfuls of them for the...

Sounds to me like the pipe has lost its support inside the wall. They usually are shored up with clamps on 2x4 supports. If the wall leaks onto the supports, it will rot over time. Can someone get to the inside of the wall from the other side?

Bo, did you get new rims? I need new front rims and tires on 1 of our tractors. Rims are rusted on inside badly.

Annual Full coverage for FJR 1300 is about $400. here in Texas. And I'm over 60 years old with 50+ years of experience.

Thanks for the update, and prayers for Dona. Prayers for Buppies and wife. Been busy at work and home. Son getting academic award next Wednesday. 3 more years of high school to go. He's been exercising like crazy. Got the yard mowed today just before a storm brought maybe .25" of rain...

We've had lots of rain all around us, but not so much on us. Some places withing 20 miles have had over 8" in last 2 weeks. We've had about 1" Beautiful postcard weather day. 78F and a breeze. Motorcycle has leaking fork seals. Might try the thin plastic seal cleaner first. Reminds me I...

Bought some more stuff to work on projects.... LX5 shredder blades on sale at JD New battery for older HPX Gator (about to sell). Thought I was going to put on the new headlights on my SUV. Turns out, I must've thrown away the old ones back in 2021. There was a pigtail I need now to revert...

RNG where are you? (Car 54 where are you?)

Be careful with that nubooboo. Friday y'all, I'm worn out. Even though I had a relatively easy week.

Don, mowing may end up something like that.

Hope they don't pee you off too much. True story, Friend just took his truck in for possible trade. Expected about 10-11K, which is inline with KBB.com They told him they'd text him the numbers, as he left for work. He got the numbers, only $6K trade in. For a 2020 Ford F150 XLT Supercrew...

You are right. Fencing is expensive. I don't really want to cross fence my place, mainly due to price, but also due to convenience. I am applying for a wildlife exemption.

Rich B1, I've been wondering what you've been up to. That is a beauty. I am a fan of thumpers, but also a fan of most all bikes. Wondering how the vibration is on that thing? My friend has ridden the Husky 701 thumper, and he says it hardly has any vibration. IIRC, The engine in that bike...

Spain and Portugal as of now are not sure of the power outage cause. I've read that some companies buy some of their really large power distibution equipment from China, and that it is computer controlled.....not sure if that had anything to do with it.

Mowing has become more of a chore, than it is stress relief. Tractors are getting old, have to spend time and money keeping them up. To mow, or not to mow. Thomas got the message, without the question. :) At the risk of sounding like a broken record, SpeedQueen offers a no lock lid model...

Here's a question for all of you guys, and there are many factors..... I only have a 6' mower for 24+ acres, open cab, and I've been cutting it since 2002. Anyway, I've had my fill of seat time for mowing. Still have to do other chores that I don't mind so much. Been having to repair hydraulic...

You know they didn't give that much for trade in. If you want it, offer $3ish, then let them text you. There is no warranty etc.

Been a week. Got way behind. Hope I didn't miss too much. Autistic daughter has been very problematic. Our state doesn't have the best services for mental patients anymore. It is a toss up whether you can restrict a person's rights of liberty (when they haven't committed a crime) vs letting...

I agree. Buy the new one. It would have to be an old collectable to fetch same as new price.

If big pharma finds out, then they'll both be states for sure.

Changed oil in the Beast. Holds a full 5 quarts. Still has blowby, but plenty of power.

mostly, again condolences to the family. Wingsprd and Ron, great pics! Thanks for sharing.

Still dry as a west Texas popcorn fart here in Giddings. We already have cracks in the ground. Supposed to rain tonight and Easter Sunday. Happy Easter to all of y'all.

Have a buddy who raises goats, maybe 20-25 depending on season. He takes his to Fredericksburg TX where they have buyers from all over the US, and they usually claim fairly high prices. He has a long bed truck with a camper and hauls a bunch over there in the bed. He keeps telling me if I'll...

Do you take the injector out and clean it in the tank too? What kind of cleaner did you add to the water?

too many women on "meds" these days maybe?

Glad to share some of our warmth with y'all! It has been blowing like crazy off of the Gulf of America. Down here, I would guess maybe an LLC which would limit your liability? I love dogs, but they are high energy (and a lot of work) when young and I hope you have the energy. Companionship...

Now back to our regular programming on this channel. Enjoy watching your progress jk. If you the bermuda hybrids work up there in your climate, they are great for erosion control and drought proof. We have bermuda called "coastal".

BE CAREFUL, NEVER STICK YOUR FINGERS BETWEEN THE KNIFE SECTIONS, they can move even when not expecting them to move. My 9' sickle doesn't take much HP. But it won't fit on my Deere 4310 due to just not big enough between the tires and such. It also takes a good amount of 3pt lift to raise...

You sure made that kid's day, maybe changed his life. Prayers Bupps and wife. Hope you get feeling better. No fun being sick when nobody else around. Can son bring you something to drink for fluids? Sold my old 2003 car to an old co-worker for his daughter. He's an engineer who fixes all...

How did they get the ingredients to the steel mills back in WWII ?

I have a 9' Deere 350 sickle bar cutter. It is one of the most cantankerous contraptions I have ever used....But once you have it hooked up to the 3 point, and get going, things fall into place for trimming the pond. They are also high maintenance. But they do the job as good as anything I've...

Lou, prayers for you. I have skipped around on this thread because I got behind about 5 days. I hope you got the heater blower mower working. It is record high 90 F down here right now.

Buckeyefarmer, pop you a chalkline to help keep things straight with warped trex. Use shims to push out or whatever you need.

Buppies, very sorry about Holly's predicament. My grandfather had dementia that went from bad to worse. His mind was going back to the 50's and 60's, wondering where his Buick was, who took it, why can't he go outside and find it, call the cops to report it stolen, he was always trying to...

Mostly, very sorry for your brother's passing. Prayers and Condolences to your family.

Oh on another story, a friend who graduated with me got GBS. She went to ER and was sent home with flu meds. Her daughter is an RN and told her to go back to ER and get tested for other stuff. She got tested and a specialty doctor was at another hospital and took her on. She had a therapy...

Hopefully the economy will BOOM and we will need to quadruple steel output.

Oh, my SUV headlight low beam is still acting up. Put in new bulb, and now new relays for Hi/Lo and parking lights. Just ordered a new turn signal stalk which has the dimmer switch in it. Sometimes you can play with the turnstalk by clicking the high beams and the low beam will start working...

You can be quite the comedian Drew. : Hey wait a minute....I thought you were the mechanical contractor??? Oh my Don, condolences for you and Karen and the extended family. Is this the BIL that the family lives in Richardson? Sorry about the truck getting rear ended. Hopefully dealing with...

Good to hear! Get some rest. Prayers. Happy 38th to you and your wifey! Prayers Ted and Dona, sorry about your brother. May he rest in peace. hope the new to you truck works out. My mom can't get into our higher up truck right now, even with running boards. Her arm/shoulder tendons are...

Good morning! 58F to start, going to 81F with 15mph south winds straight off of the Gulf of America. Off today, taking mom to her cardiologist appointment down south. Son left early for his JV tennis tourney about 35 miles away. Wouldn't teak last longer if a good polyurethane was applied...

Sounds like my daughter. She didn't have her HS send a transcript at the correct time. Then tried to hand deliver a transcript, only to be told "It has to come direct from the HS in the US mail"... I told her to retake the SAT to try and score higher but she drug her feet giving excuses. Now...

That's a great deal Scotty! Those things sell like hot cakes to contractors and such. If you don't want it, you can sell it.

Keeping my eyes open for dewberry flowers.

so I have had to turn adblocker back on. The ads are getting rediculous even between posts and also the right column... Stiil not working great. Anyone pay for and use surfshark?

Santa must've got stuck in the mud. Glad he finally delivered.

Frits the flowers look nice! We have bluebonnets blooming down here right now. Also looking for the dewberry vines blooming now, to hope to pick some next month or early May.

hope your free range post wood works out. Church this morning. BBQ'ing burgers now. Wife and son are arguing how well done to cook the burgers. Wifey makes 6 oz patties. 80/20 ground chuck. PitBoss working great. A few years back I bought a pair of replacement headlights for our older...

Wagtail, don't let all that wine make you late to the parade!

Saw this and laughed, thought I'd share it. :)

My 96 1/2 YO mom is in similar shape. She can go out, but has to use a walker. My wifey pushed her around in her wheel chair the other day. Congrats on the new engagement. At least he asked you. Big shoes to fill to be your daughter's hubby. I hope he is a good guy with good intentions...

Hope it works out, thanks for sharing with us.

glad you still have your Texas pin. I got it for you at the cotton gin museum store in Burton Texas. Thanks for all the recliner reviews. Ron too. So our local furniture dealer is not so big. They told me that they gave up lazy boy due to the raised threshold of units they would have to...

Phones will still boot up, but only can dial 911. You can still access wifi internet and run the old apps on my old samsung. I was just told the dealer in my hometown is sold out. He said that the factory took a week off to re-tool. Says he can't keep them in stock. I did find out they...

Condolences and Prayers for you and your family Ken.

Happy Birthday Phil! It is a PITA to change phones, for me I have so many apps from work that require dual authentification. Plus there are some old apps that dont work on the new android. So I had to keep my old phone simless, for my ODB code scanner and a small diameter bore scope. Hope...

glad pine missed the cabin! that is one fancy chain saw! I'm waiting for a chain saw chain with PCD cutting teeth. Prayers Buppies and Holly. Hope they can get her better, for both of y'all's sakes. Sorry about your squam cell. Prayers for a clean getaway. Lou, I had mine out maybe 5 years...

For my retired friends. ;)

Sears Ted Williams 5.5 hp small air cooled outboard. I don't have an ultrasonic cleaner but wish I did. It would probably work. Keep a tank of 100 LL aviation fuel around, and before you store your engine, run AVgas thru it. It stores for long periods. It is easy to clean out most small...

Good old, old school vernier calipers. I have to use my readers to get an accurate reading. I think I'm up to 2X but if I need to see really really close then 3X.

Down south, what made corners greasy was when we had a cricket population explosion, at night they would be attracted to the street lights on the corners. Then they would get squished by cars. A little morning dew or a slight rain, and guys were wiping out in the corners. Flat track started...

Happy birthday to Popgadget's wifey Erica. Sorry and prayers for your dad and uncle. Prayers for Ted and Dona. My mom fell, while trying to do a U turn with her walker. I'm sure she will be bruised up for a while, but she says only her ankle has a little pain. She's trying to not be a...

Prayers for a diagnosis and treatment to help. We have to give our autistic daughter meds to help calm her down. In fact, we may need to go up on the dosage as she's put on weight. Oh man, and I was trying to get away from carbonated diet drinks because they seem addictive. Seems like I want...

Very cool, especially my hat is off to those who can play them. Lone Star Back Roads Prayers Buppies. I try to pray for divine inspired cures and healing for mental illness every day. I prefer light earlier in the morning, and darkness sooner in the evening now that I'm older and not water...

Way behind here. Busy at work. Watching my mom since last Saturday. Have to take her to 3 dr appts next week. Prayers Buppies. I was just listening to a radio program that talked about people losing their memory. They said the people imagine all kinds of untrue stuff, but often believe it...

Sorry about the reaction. Hope you're feeling better soon. I have debated getting the shingles. My mom wants me to. Popgadget, I just sent a Jet 13x40 to our surplus dept and it got auctioned off, unless another university personnel claimed it. It had had a new motor put in it about 4 years...

you're turning into a lumberjack. wow Billy, that really is a crystal clear emerald color. I can only guess it is not frozen due to the flowing spring water? Looks like fun for all. I'm thankful you can still go hiking like you do. Hope you get the skunk before it gets you or Della. I got...

I know you usually have to switch a gear to go from metric to imperial on many lathes. Some have a double gear that you can take off and turn around and adjust the fitment. Since I do so little press work, my main likes on presses are having a gage, and having the low/high 2 pump handles. It...

Prayers for you and your wife Buppies. I have had 3 family members, grandmother, step grandfather, and Father in law that had lost their memories. Short term memories were shot. Long term stuck around on my GM and step GF until the end. My 96 yo mom still has fairly good mental capacity...

My wife found this ice flake in our backyard. About 6-8" diameter. Any of y'all ever seen this before?

Prayers for your dad and your family. Enjoy your hike with son! Old George was a smart man. Glad he did not get killed in Revolutionary War. Could have been a total different outcome. I guess they could soak their fake teeth in whiskey or something to keep the bacteria down. Son is getting...

That Buehl is cool! V&H engine too. Full confession, I've only ridden a few old school Harleys, but the one I got to ride for about 40 miles was an Eric Buehl 1984 FXR. It vibrated like he'll until you got up to about 80mph, then it smoothed out. I couldn't have ridden it much further. One guy...

Was 20F this morning, wind chill 7F

I'll try to explain how I feel. Imagine a scenario, where an investor came to you and said "RNG, I need your talent to start a company, I want you to buy in a 5% interest, and you'll be the primary on getting the company moving. Oh and I'll pay you a 6 figure salary until the profits can...

Maybe try some vitamin B complex? My buddy says it is working for his male Golden. He feeds his dogs $$$ dog food, and sometimes a can of salmon added. Ken, hope the dog gets better. Buppies, hope the power comes back on, and that you have heat. Daughter and boyfriend came to church, and...

I rented a 3 pt tiller once. The top link hole was so wallered out, the tiller just bounced up and down, also due to the tines being so dull. Waste of $$$. Learned that day. Look over the equipment before you rent it. Note problems with the management. taking care of mom is busy and...

I told my buddy "the FJR is so heavy to roll out of the barn backwards, it is fine once you get going though." He said, "shut up and start lifting your wife's weights!" LOL

close to 1.5" here 2 days ago. Real Cold is coming on the 19th, 20th

great super sleuthing!

Condolences, I liked the picture of him on the Yamaha. Looked like a 2 stroke model street legal model. Somewhere overseas? Scotty, sorry about friend. Buyers have higher rates to contend with. Hope they come down. I'm glad to hear you're nearly ready to sell. It is always some math to...

Been enjoying the warm 80F days. Today's high was 63F

Keep it! Put a full knobbie on the back and use it for a trencher. :) While I love thumpers, had TT XT yamahas, and brother had the hondas, I would look hard at the more expensive CRF450RL. Lighter which is a biggie in my book.

I went for a quick "scooterpop" yesterday in the 80F temp down here. Was really nice. I needed it. FJR 1300 has great horsepower. Good torque from 2500 rpm on up. Being a 2009, it is only a 5 speed. The newer ones have a 6 speed, but I've heard the 6 speeds are not as durable. I have no...

Glad to hear stepson will keep a job. Hope his surgery will provide relief. I can't imagine what all he's been through recuperating. Ron, thank you for the thoughtful advice. Glad you had a "team" to help and found a place to give her good care. Thank you popgadget. My mom is trying to...

wow, been too busy to give a decent reply, but have been lurking. May have missed a page of posts or 2. Plenty of guys feeling bad, or have worse symptoms. Prayers to our team. Big life changes for me, my mom has come to live with us for a while. My sister wants to put her in a high...

Met Bird a couple of times in person. Actually went up to Denton to attend his birthday party many moons ago. (about a 4 hour drive one way). Maybe it was his 70th celebration. Many TBN'ers were there. Many that I'd like to know how they are doing these days. He was a big foundation here...

Oh my....sorry for your troubles.

I'm missing boo boo too. I think I found him. 3M views · 31K reactions | That sprawl technique 🤣 | The Appalachian Podcast

forecasting nice weather for the weekend, but rainy before then.

Wondering if the shipyard workers are the same sailors that need a job in the winter? Looks like a new definition of cold working in the winter on those boats..... "Colder than a shipworker's bottom in Thunder Bay in the winter"

You explained ohmic sensing very well. When me and my student worker were fighting it on the torchmate, we ended up running a 2nd ground wire to clamp to the material, and that fixed it because the table's ground was intermittent. Torchmate has pierce height setting, along with matl thickness...

You don't have to worry about me going that fast for anything over a half mile . My other buddy's with the custom turbo will bury the tach at redline in top gear. He figures it is close to 180.

Prayers for wisdom and healing.

Wouldn't you know it? My long time buddy with health problems gifts me this FJR1300 wonderful machine, and then it snows and stays at or below freezing...Full disclosure, I don't like to ride in weather below 60F anyway. Don't have the gear for cold. This bike doesn't have heated grips. But...

Ouch on the $200....Yamaha snowmobiles handle great in the snow, but I may have heard they are going to stop making them? The FJR handles great, still getting used to it, but no riding in snow or freezing weather...I don't like to ride below 65F to be honest. Ron, you're a better neighbor than...

Way behind here. Thanks for the heads up. I've not ever heard of being turned down for warranty work due to a missing receipt because people can change their own oil (which I do). And here I was thinking hyundai and Kia had those great 100K warrantys.... We got about 3" and it is still...

waiting on my daughter to take me south to retrieve motorcycle and visit mom.....

I believe most of the clubs are waning around here too. We have 2 local Lions clubs, not sure how well attended they are. When I was a young little league baseball player, my home town's Elks Lodge sponsored our team. It was their first year to sponsor and boy did we have some nice new...

Ron, beautiful pic of the moon. I can even see the "acne" on the eastern edge. Sorry about the high bills. I have heard that exporting LNG, will keep gas prices up or even higher. I want some new nuclear plants here in Texas. The kind that works when the sun don't shine, or the wind don't...

Hope he heals fast. Found out a smart kid from a poor family is getting to come to the college I work at. I'm so happy for her/them. Thanks for the prayers guys. Have my student workers at work doing different things. 1 is doing autodesk fusion work for me, another is updating a Wire EDM...

Prayers for LS125 and wife.

Looking good! I would enjoy. :) Glad your shoulder and knees are good to go. I sick the squirrels with a 9 lb female chihuahua, that let's 'em have it with both lungs barking as she chases them up trees. Really fun to watch. Hope CA figures out that the pine needles will burn like jet fuel...

I'm way behind. Thanks for the prayers and thoughts about my mom. Prayers and condolences to NHBX and family. Not easy losing a loved sibling. Parkinsons is horrible. My mom got moved to a skilled nursing facility (actually one wing of a nursing home). about 20 days worth, clock is ticking...

26F here. Burrrrr. Feels like 21F. awaiting sunrise to leave for work. Prayers for our team. Stay warm.

27F with 18 wind chill this AM. Not quite Feb of 2021 yet, but there's still plenty of winter left.

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers for my mom. Sister said she ate a tiny bit, but would not eat any more the rest of the day. Sister told her "if you don't eat, I'm leaving." and even that didn't get her to eat.

Thanks for the prayers team. I feel like I'm unprepared for all the tasks of being the executor of her will, if my mom passes. 29F and 18 wind chill.

Way behind on posts. My mom is in the hospital again with congestive heart failure and FLU. The flu has kicked her rear. I honestly don't know whether she'll make it or not. Not looking good at the moment because heart/kidney function knocked down to 34%. Doc says possibly heart...

Yes, Happy New Years All !!!

We've had a few mornings 30-32F here at my house. No deep cold though, and I'm glad for that.

Prayers for Dona and family. Thanks for sharing. I asked my wife if she knew any daughters in law from CO. She knew of 1, but I don't believe a match. We put 1 of these on barn cat, and it seems to work...

Watching!

Glad nephew OK, sorry about the acid reflux. There are some things I have to be careful with. No Bell peppers for one. Too much peanut butter or chili can cause a bit of acid. Sorry about wood shop mishaps. On a lathe, things "blow up" in milliseconds. Also, I might warn you to wear a mask...

Glad y'all can stay warm! Weather guy yesterday morning said the High temp record for down here was set in 1950's Hope the heart Dr gives you good report. Neighbors texted if we've seen their little french bulldog who must've ran off when they were pistol shooting. He's been here before, but...

We cooked 3 roasts. Mashed potatoes, roasted asparagus, roasted carrots, cranberry/cherry fruit jello, pumpkin crunch, rum/chocolate pecan pie, dutch apple pie, home made fudge. I made a big pan of gravy. If anyone left hungry, it was their own fault. Wifey made everyone Starbucks coffee...

My niece wanted to go to Vanderbilt, she pitched a fit. She was valedictorian, and had a full ride at U of Tx, I wish she would've gone to A&M. In Austin, she got caught up with a bad party crowd, and it complicated her life for many years. It is good that you are having this talk with the GD.

Merry Christmas to our TBN family. We've been through a lot of life together. Hope and pray for many more. and for peace in the world.

Weather guy says there are 3 pacific waves coming this week. Hope you don't get too much of that weather. Hope your gift card didn't get jacked by the postal system thieves like ours did last year. It is a big problem. Not sure why they can't catch them.

Even though I haven't been to the Adventure farm, I have to say it seems to have people with imaginative minds coming up with things to do. It takes a lot of money and planning to put together a tree farm, orchards, strawberry farm, tulip farm..etc... I guess they are closed thru Christmas...

ding ding ding winner winner chicken dinner! Good memory Ron. Within eyesight of Don's parents' place. Welcome, I saw it on FB and loved it. Thank you for sharing. We are praying. You gonna weld bulldozer tracks to a battleship? :) I saw on the link that they are backordered thru Jan...

So an old buddy "gifted" me his barely used Pit Boss Austin XL model, because he wanted to downsize to fit better in his garage. Caveat is, when he plugged it in after not using it for over a year, the auger seems to be loose, but the auger motor won't turn it. It seems to try and spin the...

Someone on here might recognize this church. I thought it would make a nice Christmas card to all of you. I wish you all a Merry Christmas, and to remember the Real Reason for the Season.

Thanks for the tips on scanners....seems they go from low priced to over $10K Thanks for the tip, that was quite the pillow mess. So my phone upgrade to new Android won't let 3rd party software load, unless they go through the Google play system for security check. Apparently Torque hasn't...

That's a great idea. While on the subject, does anyone recommend a particular OBD2 scanner? I need one worthy of helping me figure out which airbag circuit is messed up. Really nice day, got up to 66F, light breeze. No breeze right now, but temp dropping fast. Short days.

Our autistic daughter has developed a real sour outlook on the world. She has a memory of an elephant, but bad memories push out the good memories. Wifey and I are praying about what to do. Life is too short to be glum. We were never promised an easy life. Try to find the joy in our daily...

Should last 100,000 easy. Double or more if kept lubed. Dodge trucks have had problems with them going out early. I'm sure others too. why you mad at your oatmeal Mostly? Sorry about your Magnolia tree. As a private first class, I was tasked with picking up magnolia tree dropped flowers at...

Don asked about the value of old coins....saw this in my emails. https://hibid.com/texas/catalog/592763/dec-18th---22nd-seattle-sage-coin-auction?utm_source=Iterable&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=campaign_12046180&utm_content=texas_goldstandardauctions_12_18_24

Prayers for Dona and Ted. It is almost 80F here, the a/c is running. Breezy winds from the south ish. Church was good, went to Whataburger. Need to go treat ant mounds. Hope all have a blessed week.

Hope the lexus works out well. I had a chance at one with similar circumstances, my buddy's mother. They were wanting top dollar because his sister was involved, and it turned out she had a fairly expensive wreck in it, and that is why they were pulling her DL. Didn't end up buying it. Hope...

OK, with adblock off, I'm also getting pop up videos on my home computer here on TBN. Besides the ads on the right margin, and inbetween each post....arghhh. Turned adblock back on, still have ads on right, and at bottom, but not between each post as of right now.

No food plots needed. Might plant 1% of land with wildflowers. Lady said not to "use" deer as one of the reasons. Said need a LOT more land to basically provide for deer (like they never would leave the property if it were large enough). So, birding, including song birds and migratory birds...

Wifey did not sleep much at all last night. She has so much pain, she has cried twice today. Took her to Dr. gave her some muscle relaxer pills. Hope she can get some sleep. Since she is out of commission, I'm taking son to my work's holiday party. Hopefully prime rib or some great steaks...

Sorry about the limp problem. 20c sounds good, welcome to the Good Morning club. bom dia!

Marines are reopening an old Army airbase just 25 miles south of Camp Lejeune. Not sure if anyone lives nearby, but it will handle everything the Marines fly. When the officer be "chewing on some arse"...Hope you get a nap today! My poor wifey has been dealing with neck and shoulder pain...

Yes, looks like the eye in the sci fi movie! I have sympathy for you. I may have spoke about the helo flying crazy low over my home about a month ago. National Guard Blackhawk. I wrote in a complaint and they denied they were low....should have expected it. Will have to take video at night...

PJS, glad to see the new leg working. I hope it helps lift him up after a really bad accident.

Ted, prayers for Dona, you, and her medical staff. Also for divine healing. Please vent all you want, that's what we do here. Yes, a special time of year. Lit the first candle at church today. My buddy with the new house, just bought a 98" Samsung TV for $4000 on sale from $5K. I told...

A stack of these is what is used in a cnc mill's spindle to provide strength to the pull collet which grips the tool's pull stud. It will take some engineering to get the right number, diameter, thickness of each washer. They are spring steel and will work for a long long time...

Possum. It's whats for supper.

Special prayers for Dona and Ted (and family).

Not sure how many will show up over here today. Time to start cooking. Ron, that is a fantastic plate of artsy cookies.

Sorry about your Hospice kitty. Happy Thanksgiving day to all of y'all! I pray for peace in this world.

You might research belleville washers to get your force with less space. McMaster-Carr You need about up to 3/4" of movement. With these, you can put some on each end to save space maybe? you stack them in opposing pairs to get your force/distance needed like this, ()()()()

Ted, You both have our prayers. Like Don said, you need to be strong for her (and I say to be doting too). Prayers for her medical staff and for divine healing. Thank you for sharing. We care. Happy belated birthday David, hope for many many more trips around the sun. That's great! Keep...

Happy Birthday to mpham's wifey from Texas! Hope you had a blessed day and a huge piece of cake. :)

If a cat did that to me, it would never enter my home again. My cat is a barn cat, and she actually doesn't like to come inside. We brought her in for the ice week in 2021, and she just stayed under an end table. Of course, I live in south Texas too, so there's that. I need to go prep her...

I had to make 2 trips to Wallyworld to dump off my 8 gallons. glad the wallet was found....sorry for the hoopla of cancelling cards to be safe. When people can't control their pets, especially if they are aggressive, makes me mad. sorry about the grand father passing. hope your situations...

So sorry and prayers for you and your family's loss. I can relate with a close first cousin, who I tried to help rehabilitate. And a nephew. Both made many, many bad life choices from as young as 13 years old. Thanks. Hospital groups are sometimes pushing their own plans, which if it works...

Sad. Condolences. Way too young. RNG, you're up way to early for the left coast. Elon says he can make rockets faster than the agencies can return his paperwork. I believe he wanted the real deal so the corporate hospital can get more $$$ I love my MD, but he does work for a "company". I...

I have Don's old electric splitter. It works OK. I am bad about not splitting wood while it is green because I usually only take down oaks that have died. The big rounds are tough to split. You can cut a notch with a chain saw to help. Not sure how yardmax 6.5 is getting the extra power...

M7040, prayers for your brother.

Lou, it does seem like y'all are on a spending spree too. Hope the new vehicle works out for your wifey. Ingress/egress is important when you can't scrunch up to get in anymore.

BTW, my wife said she bought a couple of chuck roasts that she's going to cut up and make.......beef stew. So that must be "the thing" this week. Ron, glad your neighbor "dragged" you away from chores for a bit. :) Love the pics. Stay well. Don, hope the new vehicle is a good one. EV's...

and vice versa! Looks like you and Della are having some good times and making good memories. It would be nice to live up there amongst our team of friends....I have pondered that before. Beef stew and biscuits....yummy. I'm having my beef broth, because I'm having a colonoscopy tomorrow...

I have cleaned up my neighbors trees that have fallen on my place, and I have cleaned up my trees that have fallen on their place. I'm just trying to be neighborly.

Ok, I didn't remember you were going off grid. You need something to carry you through the night and cloudy days. I'm not a fan of batteries. i helped with research projects on many types for years. I know they are useful, and I can't live without them either.

Hope it gets better and your on your feet soon. Ouch! Prayers. Sounds like a nice burial. Prayers. Wags, sounds like a rare sighting. Stuff like that only comes out at night around here. We don't have echidnas here.

Are you talking about whole house backup batteries? edumacate me :)

Ok then but why the battery backup? Isn't that redundant, or did I misunderstand your earlier post about batteries?

Happy Birthday to son! We tried Febreze and all kinds of aerosol sprays to try to mask the smell, but ozone works, while the others didn't.

With more and more cordless tools, I find my compressor sitting a lot more.

Wondering your choice to provide battery backup over a generator for short term outages?
