I do find it funny (well, sad) that we can get gun and *** adds but can't talk about it on a thread with embedded adverts.
While I have never been a hunter, I grew up around people who survived on hunting and farming.
But it's what keeps this site going....

That is just plain ridiculous.
Maybe time for a better advertising network, one that doesn't shove garbage out as ads.
Don't sweat it. A free forum where we get to talk about almost anything we want, hardly worth a complaint!

I have been part of forums that, in order to battle back against advertiser coersion, went to a paid subscription-based model. Of course most of the regulars were happy to comply, but it was sort of the beginning of the end, as it really curtailed drawing in newcomers.

I want the ads with naked women on tractors ;)
lot more ads, take up more space on page, but I'm ok with that.
it's free...
and I doubt our owner's operation is.
they are probably building a new AI supercenter just to handle our load...
am figuring Buckeye and I broke the last one with all our pics...

Had to move this thread to the front porch due to it getting flagged by our advertising networks for "inappropriate content" including firearms. So rather than try to censor words site-wide, we are moving any threads that get flagged, to the front porch.

I absolutely hate that advertisers will flock to news sites that talk about guns and shootings all day long but when people are talking about using rifles for hunting or in day to day life in the country, it gets flagged as "unsafe" and the networks want us to remove the ads from the pages. But that's the way it is for now.
I don't do front porch. Move it back please..

They all pretty much have the same policies. We've already been banned from one for being rebellious.

Thank you for enduring difficult vendors, and providing a platform for us. Is there any functional difference being in the front porch rather than rural living?

Sign me up! I usually have to wait for @Fuddyduddy1952 to AI some of those, for us.

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.8C [wind chill] and it's presently 16.1C [with wind chill], mostly high overcast with strong wind [still!].

Nothing accomplished yesterday due to the high winds. I did receive an evening call to let me know that a Church gate was off of it's hinges; not due to the wind but due to destructive/bored 'kids'. It's 'school break' for a while = "idle hands". I'll check the situation out later on today when I'm 'in town'.

And it is 'into town' day for a PO stop, petrol top-up and groceries.

That's about it, take care all.

Went a lot easier and now that I made 700 dollars an hour compared to what it would have cost at the dealer would be only fair that is added to my tool budget.
I like that economic way of thinking!

No just need to click a different forum if you are looking for this thread and it isn't in todays posts or your notification list.

Lady Godiva on a tractor? I'm up for that!

The show Landman very well done about things I know very little about. In my mind rougher version of Dallas. Main character very well cast. Holly did not like it though
My boss watched it, and told me "if you watch it, tell me if you see something that annoys you?"
Well, I watched it and there were 2 oil guys who went to use a big pipe wrench on a valve stem, and they had the pipe wrench backwards. I asked the boss if that was what he was referring to, and he said "Yes!"

good morning 60 going to 78

dropping Cody off at the groomer and picking up groceries

finished the the other side of the stabilizer on the van. Went a lot easier and now that I made 700 dollars an hour compared to what it would have cost at the dealer would be only fair that is added to my tool budget.
I often "cost justified" DIY repairs to buy tools...but I don't have nearly as many tools as you do. :) I better get to work with more DIY!!!

Ok, my light duty pond rake is working better now that I'm learning it. Remember, it is made from a repurposed old basketball goal post. It is so ugly, and my gorilla welds are so bad, I won't post a picture to save you all from falling out of your chairs to roll on the floor guffaw laughing...
But I have a couple of before and after of some of the work so far. They were taken at dusk, so not real clear.

There is about 20 feet or more depth of weed growth along the banks. Here is a before pic.

Here is an after pic. I highlighted about 50 foot of shoreline and it made a compost pile almost the size of a volkswagen.

I can tell you this, don't attempt it unless you have a bigger utility tractor with MFWD and R1 tires. I'm using the FEL bucket, with the edge pointed straight down, to back drag the clumps of weeds up the sides of the bank. I tried it with my 4310 and it just laughed at it.

Prayer Bupps and Holly, our Nation, and for peace in the world.

Remember the bumper stickers: "Visualize Whirrled Peas" :)

Good evening all. 70ºF for the start in St. Louis, overcast, trace of rain, windy. Wind shifter from North to South, sky cleared off slowly, and high temp during drive was 81ºF. Made coffee to start day, had some quiet time before GGD woke up, worked on getting packed up. Wanted to leave by 9AM but for various reasons had a 9:45 departure. 9.5 hours moving time 10.9 hours overall. time. Extra stop because bladder not cooperating :(. Truck unpacked, suitcase unpacked and need to set up CPAP. More catch up latter.

Coffee is done brewing. 44° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 60° with mostly sunny skies. .51" of rain yesterday. Rain all day. Kept me inside house. Finished laundry. Except for folding and putting away. Will get that done while grass is drying out today. Then cut the front grass.

good morning all from Myrtle Beach
70 out now and rv a little muggy inside, need to crank a/c down

waking up with my coffee, Kyle what a wonderful post to read.
great catch on the wrench
Mostly, travel safely

no idea what is planned for today, I can't walk the beach, hip really hurts after about 50 feet, so some of those ideas got stashed.

Buppies has a son who lives nearby and I'm going to call him later just to say hi.

weather should be ok for today but rain and a pretty good storm coming in tonight, enough to post gale warnings. Winds will settle down tomorrow morning, from NNE, which is direction I'm heading so wind on the nose, all good. Better if from rear but happy if not from sides.

have a fine Wednesday

57 this morning.03 in of rain last night not much. No rain in sight for next 10 days igh.

Haven’t decided what I think about front porch last time I was there den of inequality was accused of being a conservative plant.

Perhaps now we see who is really controlling the world

Prayers for all our Country
