One of the TV stations is running a poll asking if Teachers should be armed with guns. Here is a link: WDTN-TV: News and Weather for Dayton, OH The poll is on the left side of the page, about 3/4th of the way down the page. Its just a simple Yes/No/Not Sure poll. As my wife is a teacher...

Does anyone know where I can get small lapel pins, or similar item with the logos for Kubota or New Holland? I would like to make up a couple FEL control knobs with the pins embedded into the plastic of the knob. I recently had something similar done for my Snow Trac and had a custom flair top...

For those who consider him a friend, Brent has only had limited access to TBN recently because his unit was called to active service a short while back. He's been training to go overseas. As with some of the other TBN members, or family members of members who are overseas, I will be sending...

I have some Girl Scout Cookies and other things that I would like to send to a soldier in either Afghanistan or Iraq. I've done this many times before but I always had a soldier over there that I knew and they would distribute the gifts. All the soldiers I know there will be home by Christmas...

A friend of mine is looking to identify a small Allis Chalmers. He gave me some photos of it, his grandfather had this tractor. The side of the tractor has the numbers "314" on it. He believes the tractor was probably made in 1973 or 1974. He knows nothing else about it. From the looks of...

Lots of folks have to suffer with traditional "dial up" modems and the slow connection speeds so I thought I would post something that, while it is not totally new, is something I just picked up and tried. I am a business traveler, my laptop goes wherever I go, connectivity is a big deal for...

The lovely Mrs_Bob went out of town and somehow a blue VW Touareg showed up in the driveway before she returned I'm still trying to figure out how that happened Anyway, one thing I did not get arranged prior to her return was the trailer hitch set up. There are 3 basic types of brake...

Seems like every year I end up replacing 1 of my hose reels. I try to find good quality hose reels, but as I put 200' of hose on them they tend to last 1 to 1.5 seasons. And I have 3 of them, so I usually buy 2 new hose reels every year. I've tried the hose reels that have carts, I've tried...

This seems like it might be a heck of deal for someone looking for a small tractor. B7500 on Ebay

I found this pretty amazing. The power of 1 man, some sticks, and some pebbles!

Well the lovely Mrs_Bob packed up the little yappy dog, our daughter and left last evening. Her sister just had emergency gall bladder surgery. Her mom is bedridden. With her sister in the hospital there is nobody home to take care of her mom. So I get an unexpected 10 days alone, well not...

I have a convertible in storage that I want to restore. The car is in very good original condition, but it needs some help to be a show winner again. It was a trailer queen a few years ago, but I drove it for a couple summers and it needs to be primped up a bit. New carpets, new rear window...

We bought a new Chevy Silverado pickup for work and I had my general manager price out RhinoLiner bed liner. The price to spray a 6.5' bed was about $400, and that was after a $100 discount, from a local licensee. I had already looked into spray in bed liners and had been told by several...

The lovely Mrs_Bob wanted to redo our 'dog yard' to make it nicer, I wanted a new workshop/garage, so we decided to set the new workshop about 150 feet from the house and enclose the area between the new shop/garage and the house with fencing. Chuck at FFC_Fencing, who is a TBN member lives...

Anyone find \"mastodon\" bones on their land? I was out working on the snow trac and came in for lunch and glanced at the newspaper. Not too far from where I live an excavator was doing a pond project and apparently dug up bones from several mastadons! The Indiana State Museum came out to the...
