I rented an apartment in a house in a Detroit suburb in 1969 and they had one similar to that there.

We had 8 milk cows when my Dad bought the farm, he kept them for a few years, he kept the best cow (5% milk fat), sold the others and bought some beef cows. I drank a ton of raw milk, we made home made yogurt and churned butter from her cream. My Mom made squeaky cheese, I think it might be a...

Our school had a paddle in the Superintendents office, holes in it and it was called the board of education. I never got whacked with one, but one time the English teacher tried to hit me with a ruler, I caught it, broke in half and gave it back to her.

I had been somewhere, so my window was open. My GSD loved to go for rides. I was taking the GSD and Cocker out for a p*** call and when we went outside my 100 lb GSD jumped though the window into my 1980 Datsun 4x4 pickup. They can read us like a book, he knew I was going somewhere. He looked...

This stuff didn't sting, you're thinking of Merthiolate, which was red and really burned. I was shirtless sitting on the hood of my buddies 66' Mustang and I fell off and got some road rash on my back. My brother applied Merthiolate everywhere and oh boy did it sting.

Over here, many are on a 45 degree angle hinge, so when the plow or anybody hits it, it flies up in the air and comes back down.

I know my fabricator could mount a drawbar on the bottom of BH, I've thought about it. So far, no need. I would never mount a trailer hitch to my BH bucket and having the stick cylinder holding it in position. I do it with my 4 wheeler, but it only weighs 600 lbs.

When I need my BH and trailer somewhere, I hook my 4 wheeler to my BH bucket hook on my L3540HSTC. Then I come back with the 4 wheeler for the B7100 and the trailer. It's easy to drive my trailer backwards in 5th gear, it's a CMI 4k dump, works great. A long time ago, I posted about my B7100...

I left a blue paper towel in my pants pocket that went into the wash, it came out in perfect shape.

I mess with my ex-boss (used to own the company I worked for), now my friend that he's cheap. He's Italian and in Italy they say they have porcupine pockets.

My arthritis made it difficult to change implements on my B7100DT so I retired my Woods RM48 and bought a Husky zero turn, now I just keep my box blade on all the time. Bought and started using the zero turn in 2022, in the fall every year it's loaded with grass stuck to the bottom. That's with...

My ex-wife made me fat, too good a cook, before our divorce I hit 235 lbs at 5' 7 1/2". My classmate died at 33 yrs old, I thought he died from a heart attack, he was also heavy. Because of that I decided to lose weight. Of course she laughed at me. I told the wife, one plate for dinner (not 2...

At 18 yrs old 5' 8 1/2" 155 lbs, 60 yrs later 5' 6" 207 lbs. Two things getting bigger, my waist and my feet.

I worked with this American Indian, everybody called him Indian Joe. He would work with us on poured concrete walls. Other jobs he would do was high rise steel buildings, when her worked with us he never laced up his boots. I hope he did on the other job.

When my Boss changed the boom cable on the P&H 215 crane he always welded the two ends together with a coat hanger.
