Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

toppop,
I learned long ago that if one cannot do a better job than the other, do NOT criticize, ridicule or laugh at whatever it is they accomplished. You do weld better than me.

I might do grind better than you!

I picked a good day to work from home.

Looks like one of my paint jobs when the clear runs.:laughing:

Only company making 2 reciever style adapter wants $59+ $8 shipping. I built mine with $75 worth of parts and 4 hours labor! What a savings! No laughing at the welding!

Not laughing at your welding, Randy, you used enough black paint. I am laughing at your economics: They're the same ones I use.:laughing::laughing::laughing:

When someone asks me to weld something for them, I tell 'em I'm a much better grinder than I am a weldor. Sometimes that works and they go somewhere else.:laughing:

Don took a few chapters but i see you finished off the stump before it finished you

I had a couple lucky breaks, when the trunk and root ball broke into moveable pieces.

The Kubota is out of service with it's FEL hydraulic cylinders off for repair. No I did not break them on the stump, they were leaking before I guess the life span of the seals is about 15 years.

How did your tax amount compare to last yr? Gettting less back means you just didn't loan the govt as much.

I havent done my taxes, are the new deduction changes in effect for 2017 taxes? I thought they just went in effect for next yrs 2018 calculations.

There were some tax deductions that "expired" at the end of 2016 that were supposed to be extended for 2017, but did not get 'approved' for the 2017 tax year. There was a note stating "when the legislature renews the extention, reviews will be necessary". One of these were energy efficiency deduction (which I still had a $4000 deduction that couldn't be used in 2016 due to overage) another was mortgage insurance premiums. There were a couple of others which I can't think of right now. My income went up by $9000, but my withholding also increased proportionately (didn't change w4) the loss was solely due to the loss of these deductions. The new 'exemption' amounts don't come into effect until the 2018 tax year.

Don, our tractor's are going out too. Where are you getting them rebuilt? Mind if I ask what the price is?


Drew, hope you get it sold "without a hitch".

Where o where is David Sodamo?

farmer, glad you boy is good to go. I'm guessing your wife was in lala land until the meds wear off, and then the pain. Dry sockets suck.


Ron, interesting about the UTI/dementia connection. My wife is researching the probiotics and how they can really help your overall health.

Prayers for all.

Yes you can ask, but since I didn't ask I won't be able to tell you till it's done. Ron might remember from last time. $120 comes to mind. The kubota dealer on Hwy 71 is doing it.

Good evening all. 28F for the start, overcast, light breeze. Very little freezing rain fell here, just enough to require windshield scrapping, not much in rain gauge. High temp was 48F, wind picked up for a while, sky became partly cloudy. Removes some ash from WBS then revived it, Men's meeting this morning, followed by battery in wife's UPS dying. Trip to Sherman replaced the battery ran some errands while in town and lunch at Red Lobster . Bike ride upon return home, no nap today .

Kyle;

I would be interested in her findings.
