    Fergie's in ICU

    How did that happen? It looks like it hydrolocked. Was fuel leaking into the cylinder or coolant?

    Stuck, really stuck

    I have become a huge fan of these traction pads. They really do help to keep the tire from being sucked back the mud hole once the initial suction is broke. They also work amazing for being stuck on ice. Highly recommend.

    Heavy Duty Compact Tractor

    The JD 110 Backhoe was a commercially designed compact TLB. Kubota has the B26 and the L47, but like all things Kubota, they are not built heavy. They are on the lighter side of equipment specs.

    Entry level California home costs up 88% since 2020.

    I think the housing problem, in 10 years, turns over due to demographic problems. In 10 years, most of the baby boomers will be gone. They, right now, capture over 50% of the housing stock between 1st and 2nd homes. The family formation rate is not high enough to absorb all those homes with...

    Parents with dementia, how dealing with that has gone.

    I had my data guy run the prevalence of dementia running in families today... It came back with a 88% confidence interval for a given z score. That correlates to around a 94% chance. Not zero, but still significant. See below. "While both maternal and paternal family history can influence...
