    Who rides motorcycles?

    Last Monday in Alabama for me.

    Infested with UTVs?

    If they were operating in a 'something close to sane' way, I would not be whining about it. If they are sideways in a turn, on the wrong side of the gravel road and force my family to swerve off the road, I'd call that "impeding" other traffic. I'm not talking about Arly maintaining the trails...

    Infested with UTVs?

    I don't want to tick anybody off, but is anybody else a little tired of the side-by-sides and UTVs crowding into the formerly quiet woods and small county roads? I'm not talking about a guy working with his UTV to carry fence posts or animal feeds... I'm talking about all the wanna be rally...

    What's your favorite stuff?

    Haha... should amend the title of the post with "... OTHER than beer." Yep, hard to beat blue Loctite... and the tools in that 'oldest toolbox you've got' - that you use the most.

    Who's had cataract surgery? Feedback wanted.

    Glad it's gone well. Yes, once that second eye settles down, you should be in good shape!

    Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

    I've always wondered at some of the bobtail box trucks with a lot of box behind the rear axle being able to wheelie if they were loaded right. But since we're showing off wheelies, I had to:

    Who's had cataract surgery? Feedback wanted.

    Interesting. I was under the impression that once you chose a lens, you were stuck with it and it couldn't be changed. I've heard from many people that they were not happy with 'monovision' on the lens replacement. With my desire for depth perception in motorbiking and sports, there was no...

    I think my Schrader valve pins rusted (?)

    When I went to air up my tires, my fronts were low, since it's been a little too long... And then I noticed I'm missing a valve cap on the inside of one rear. As soon as I put a gauge on it, it started leaking. Great. I go over to the bench and get a good cap and screw it on. It wasn't...

    Who's had cataract surgery? Feedback wanted.

    I was told there is an older technology of less-expensive multi-focals that used a radial focus method and one of the drawbacks were some flares and halos. i was told this was minimized with the Symphony lenses. I've found the night vision is perfectly clear, and the only artifacts I can...

    Who's had cataract surgery? Feedback wanted.

    I haven't had the time to read the other replies, but I'm also 56 and I just had this done a couple of months ago, with those same lenses. My experience has been excellent. Previous to having mild cataracts, I had to use readers for anything closer than arm's length and prescription...

    What made this lawn damage?

    In the Ozarks, we're getting those from Armadillos. They can really make a mess of the lawn. You can spot them doing it at night, and they're not really smart. My sons use them for target practice.

    3/8 or .325 chainsaw chain?

    I don't do much cutting except for trail maintenance, but I have a stack of .325 chains that I keep sharp and an old Stihl 025 that refuses to die. I always thought that when i needed to replace it, I'd go up to a 3/8" - but can you tell me why you hate the .325 size? I'm curious. I do feel...

    Roy Jackson has died.

    He will be missed by so many. Thinking of his loved ones.

    Road Side Mowing with a Sickle Bar

    I always wonder how those sickle bars hold up against tougher terrain and rocks hiding in the grass. Probably why in my neck of the woods, they use a 15' batwing with one side disengaged.

    How **NOT** To Use An Excavator

    That guy in the excavator is SURE lucky that cop was more interested in de-escalating than defending himself. Cop could have been killed pretty fast. Yikes.
