Someone here would know lily's better than me, but I thought Tiger lily's had spots. Me...I'd cut around them if possible otherwise transplant them. They're very pretty.

Bacon. There...I said it! Actually anything hog. I think I'm allergic to it! My S-I-L is Thai...stinky fish (rotten) I can't stand. We used to have a Vietnamese buffet...wow that was great (French influence).

Asian & India Indian are quite different, right? India Indian is some of the best & healthiest food on the planet IMHO. I sure miss an Indian buffet near us pre-Covid!

Where were you when I was a kid? [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji38]

I especially liked the pallet jack races and pallet roller coaster except for all the splinters.

Should paint it black.

Anyone know the spring dimensions for the one that goes at the panel top back? I assume it's one connecting both panel? I can make one if I know diameter, length, etc. Thanks

Not that pretty but on an old pine tree stump

I just can't get rid of that mountain picture![emoji848]

Yes they were on ebay. They seem to be in good condition. My old cub was naked without them.

I bought a pair. Disregard.

I like that shed's look. It looks a lot like a log cabin but wouldn't have the maintenance. That would make a great hunting cabin if made bigger, and a nicer porch on it. Wonder where you get siding like that? (Or is it just me that likes it?[emoji1]).

Anyone have side panels in good condition for sale? Pictures & price+shipping appreciated. Thanks.

I'm on the way darn it! [emoji39]

Oh no...at my homeplace my grandfather planted bamboo on other side of lake dam. It's spread acres around. Bamboo is a type of grass I understand. I'll add horrific plants here in Virginia also: privit, honeysuckle, fox grape, multiflora rose, Japanese stiltgrass, ivy, poison ivy, johnson...

How about "Misery" by Stephen King? James Caan (as with good actors and actresses) was so believable.

Oh no...another great actor gone. [emoji17]

I thought of something today (sometimes I do that [emoji38]). A few weeks ago I had a white pine die and had everything run through a chipper. I have loads of it I used as mulch around trees. I remembered years ago someone told me never to do that, because I'd be putting diseased mulch around a...

Bradford Pear are really pretty in springtime, all the white blossoms, except after maybe 20 years cut them down & start over. Years ago I lined our driveway with them, but this afternoon some wind gusts (40-50 mph?) another tree-sized limb down. We just noticed it so cut 8ft lengths I'll haul...

Movie Theaters! I bet some of the funniest stories could be told...experiences there. My wife, early 1972 we went to an old theater in downtown Lynchburg, Va. (Warner). I'm 19, 6ft 125# super skinny, she was a skinny 17yo. Theater was almost empty so we sat in middle, large drinks & popcorn. The...

It's down on the brush pile. Something ate the fruit.

Alcohol DOES damage the brain after all...

I have fruit trees I planted, apple, peach, pear, etc. A few days I was amazed how well they were doing, a plum tree loaded with fruit, healthy, vibrant...next day or two dead! Leaves shriveled. So I chained it to tractor bucket and pulled it up by the roots...trunk about 6" across. Now I just...

You're correct, however, it can be unhealthy air to breathe. My parents put in a Fisher stove in 70s. "Airtight" Momma Bear. Even slowly opening door, smoke puffs out. Smoke out dampers by a wind downdraft sometimes. It's not healthy breathing smoke, and Dad (rip) had respiratory problems, never...

Wife & I hiked to the top a few years ago. Is the restaurant still there down below trail? I remember menu said "it's so good it makes you wish your goozle was as long as a fence rail".[emoji38]

My Mother used to make almond stuffed dates. They were great. Dates are high fiber.

Good morning all & happy Father's Day. I just got my stitches out (eyebrow area) at local walk in from injury last week. So much better.

I bought these two last night at a local Walmart. $16 Roundup concentrate! Should I go back and buy the other bottles they had? They were sort of hidden in garden section, probably still there.

People are amazing. My father in law passed at 90 twenty years ago. He was in the Army entire WWII, basically walking from Normandy to Berlin, fought in Battle of the Bulge. In his 80s, his knees gave out & walked with two canes. Had handicap mirror tag. He & my wife pull into a handicap spot &...

Our Golden Retriever would see my wife dumping the cat litter box, then run there full speed. As she got there she would flip over upside down, sliding in with her mouth wide open so the cat poop went right in her mouth. Every time. Clay litter covered cat poop. Delicious!!!!!

This is what you said: "Probably the only safe bet is high-end fine arts. They are recession and inflation-proof, they are proof against supply chain issues. Art outperforms the market." "Oh yeah baby. My niece's work sells at $50,000 - $75,000 a pop she has an agent in Chicago and another in...

I understand protecting one's privacy. Looking at an artist's work isn't that.

Yes...praying all the best for you...[emoji120]

Now I'm confused. Art is a good investment yet a successful artist's work cannot be seen? I always assumed art would be sold either by the artist who has a website or through a gallery or other third party website.

Wow...she must be some artist. Maybe show some of her work...love to see it. The average working person out here couldn't imagine paying $50K up for art though, even if it is a good investment. For 99% of the population they'd be better off going to yard sales, Goodwill stores or checking...

Certainly fine art can be a good investment, but like everything you have to know what you're doing plus it most likely is going to be expensive to start with. Then, like anything you buy it must be insured, a risk of theft, damage, etc. Then you pay an auction fee when sold. Getting to the...

Looks like a collaboration between Dr. Seuss and Walter Mitty!

If automakers had any sense they'd design a methane powered car with a hose seat to carburetor

We have a bear here. A neighbor said it's about 350#. Scratch marks right outside one garage door. I heard it a few nights ago when I was in here!

I needed 27 OSB sheets and bought at $25/sheet a few months ago. If you have a project waiting I would buy at $22.65. It depends on how bad you want to build something.

.

That would make an interesting print!

I got 6x6x10ft pressure treated posts $35 Lowe's and did this project today, cut in half, three galvanized 12" bolts to existing 30" 6x6s, then chain galvanized 6" bolted to it. 90+ degrees and 153# wet lumber wasn't much fun, glad it's over. A 6+ft fall wouldn't have been much fun either.

I've always been fair with my insurance company. Me...I'd figure out what tractor was worth before the damage. Then cost to repair it. Then see what insurance company would pay me. I'd add my money to that buying a new tractor (I'm with Dodge Man on that).

We've been here 42 years, 15 miles away before and never ever heard of a tornado. I saw one in the 60s in the mid-west.

Thanks all. I offered my chainsaw, tractor with grapple services but between our fire/rescue+power company+VDOT there are 100s of workers. My heart goes out to the people who lost everything and it started raining again! Here's a 2 minute aerial drone view! Our place is a short walk from there...

Why are we looking at the Dow 30? Supply & demand. Here are the statistics:

Tornado missed our place by about 2000 feet! We're so lucky. Guys looking at "nothing " used to be a trailer there down a side road. Some injuries, no deaths...some missing cattle & pets.

We had a tornado come through less than 1/2 mile away! Our road is closed...incredible devastation. I'll post more pictures later if I can. Some houses & garages flattened. We've fine here thank God. Lost power 3 hours. We've never had anything like that here, S. Va. & high elevation.

"I want a strong president whether red or blue who has citizens best interest at heart."

^^^yes^^^Theres a war on fossil fuels.

IMHO you have to look at the big picture. The way I see it things tie together. It's not as simple as big companies raise prices because they can. Ask the average person on the street "are you better off today than you were, say, 3 years ago". Of course they would say no. Now I'm a conservative...

Do you believe our President when he blames Russia for high fuel prices? The national average for a gallon of gasoline was $2.38/gallon when Trump left office. Today it's $4.60/gallon. What is your reasoning why that is so? I can only speak for myself and imagine if I were the CEO of a big oil...

I'd follow you for those too![emoji39]

Mental illness. That's the common denominator. What normal person would kill another, especially children and innocent people. Most people have never heard of the Bath School Incident that happened almost 100 years ago. And NO firearm was used! Yet 38 children killed, 6 adults and at least 58...

That's the woke plan...hate nasty petroleum eliminated by raising prices, make people embrace electric. Forget all the progress we've made lowering carbon emissions, forget plastics and other coal/petroleum uses, pollution from lots of the electricity production and all the...

Thanks...but I'm trying to use what I have on hand. I already have chain (3,200# load limit), galvanized bolts, etc. I can get six 6x6x10ft treated at a good price & cut them in half. Chain at 42" sounds good.

Bottom line is anyone on either side wanting to lessen the environmental impact on Earth the best thing is not to have children! People are what's causing problems...right?

I wouldn't be moving it, so no permits or insurance required.

Same reason all shootings happen...mental illness. Guns don't shoot by themselves. We need mental hospitals.

Around here 6x6s aren't much more than 4x4s. Didn't consider rust...so either paint it or fasten on outside of posts. It would drip down to a gravel 4ft walkway. [emoji848]

I have binoculars...it's not pretty. [emoji51]

I forgot height...it's a simple slanted roof, I can touch the back so about 8ft tall in back, I'm guessing 10 ft in front (11 max). No tunnels there to here. Basically it can go one long backroad that does cross a couple main roads.

Sort of a stupid question, but about 45 years ago my Dad (r.i.p.) and I built a small horse barn. We used oak sawmill (rough cut, random width) lumber and poles. I'd guess it's about 12ft X 50ft. Four Dutch doors. Shingle roof (no leaks)...but nothings really plumb. No wiring. I'm thinking I...

Anyone know about Geothermal Energy? Years ago when my Geologist brother traveled around the Scandinavian countries lots of homes were heated that way. Basically free energy since the Earth's core is so hot. Also no environmental impact. Just one of so many choices we have available. Guess what...

Actually I was lucky...and that garage must be strong! I just had a few hours on it, and I literally was up in the rafters so quick...then I eased back out.

Can anyone guess what made these two big dents over a garage door? Two hints: 1) it happened right after I got my J.Deere 2) I was suddenly looking up at the rafters [emoji38]

Few more.

Some roses and peonies here.

I'd be concerned over the raw fish also. I tried it once and found a worm in it. I told waitress that must of been the bait.

We couldn't stomach steak tartare. Our friends & neighbors eat it...basically beef sitting in a dish of blood [emoji1785]. They should see it under a microscope! [emoji2962]

My grandfather would say it's a privilege growing old. Grandmother said it was a curse.

If most of your teeth are OK, I'd probably get implants. Me...I inherited bad teeth from my Dad (rip). He had dentures in his early 20s, 30's for me. Dentures are great IMHO.

I love peaches, except raw.

Great tip! One I discovered is Blow Off spray is cheap at Walmart. Some fine soldering jobs (electronics) heat and blow solder away. A toothbrush removes splatter. Holding can upside down you get freeze spray (I've removed warts with it [emoji1]).

IMHO the best thing the elderly can do while they are of sound mind and before they need nursing care is estate planning putting everything they own: house, property, belongings, money, etc. in the name of a trusted sibling. That person also has POA. That's not that easy since it must be 100%...

Yesterday I threw a couple ground hog smoke bombs down hole then quickly shoveled dirt over it. So far so good, nothing has been back, if it was in apparently dead or out it moved away which is good. Neighbors cat comes over here which is great, haven't seen one mouse, mole or chewed wires...

On my John Deere I bought an open center spool valve and mounted it on right side on arm rest cover beside PTO switch. Hoses I measured and had a local NAPA store make with ends I needed. The power beyond I just unplug and plug into the valve. Other valve hoses go to top link. I got a grapple...

I have my granddad's wagon he made in early 40s...junk yard parts it has a 30s Chevy straight axle. It's wood frame but made a steel box for it, great for shoveling gravel or anything. I put a 2" ball coupler on it. My place is very hilly and it works well.

More information would help. Is this a tractor you just got...like that? There are different ways to go about it...but how I'd do it. I'd get paper, pencil, multimeter, masking tape. Tape about 2" over wires near connector ends. Number them 1,2,3,... Meter on ohms, Rx1. Short leads...be sure...

My 2 cents are think of it this way: How old are you? I'm 70, and installed a new (barely used 1 hour) horse stable cupola fan. My luck...the motor quit, fan was a gift from a neighbor. I was going to replace motor, etc. The heck with it! I ordered a brand new fan for $400. Point is if I get 15...

Yesterday I was using a hydraulic top link and it squirted hydraulic fluid above the seal, I'm thinking where it screws together?...a tiny but of course high pressure. It's not that old (1-2 years?). Do they make rebuild kits and how do take it apart? Guessing I'm thinking it's about 22"...

I had to use Sodium bentonite clay around the drain pipe.

Well, again...I do understand the balance of nature also, having lived here 42 years. I don't hunt, rarely ever shoot anything. Years ago we had everything here, then things started to disappear. By me planting bushes and food sources I've made it more conducive for wildlife, yet things are...

Strange, my 40 volt Greenworks I've never thrown the chain and used it a LOT over the years. I'd be sure the bar and chain are OK, rolling it around by hand. Easy to adjust and tighten by hand...no tools needed.

I have a long brush pile where a pasture drops off to a steep bank into woods. I planted bushes there also. That's when I started seeing return of rabbits, etc until whatever this predator is that I need to get rid of.

We have lots of groundhogs making a mess tunneling under buildings. I lived in the country all my life...just wanted opinions. I've seen lots of wildlife, I don't hunt...never hunted. I've had coyote move in which decimate other animals. I understand the balance of nature but when I see rabbits...

.

We used to have lots of turkeys, quail, rabbits, etc. but rarely anymore. I set hunter cameras and know we have coyote. After getting horses we haven't seen coyote. Near the creek I saw this hole dug about 10" across, large dead rabbit near entrance (stomach missing), a couple hours later...

We used to roll old tires down steep city streets. One took down a screen door going into a kitchen.[emoji2] Greater fun hearing people scream!

Looked up "electric chaps" I got The Village People

Who could own just one screwdriver? This is 1/4th of the ones I have.

I say that now! [emoji2] Plus they have a brain!

True, but our idea of canned food is to have about 30-40 cans maybe, using oldest first. I know preppers having 100s in different places, usually buried vaults. One guy's got flooded and had 100s of corroded cans!

Says out of stock though.

For cutting trees and large limbs I use my Sthil MS291. For real small trees and up to 4" limbs and pruning a Greenworks 40 volt on Walmart clearance a few years ago that works well. I carry it and an extra battery in truck.

I know people who hoard canned goods and ammo. The canned goods expire and who do you shoot the ammo at?

Bear on right has ear tags?

[emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] My wife said "whenever you rig something you're asking for trouble". I'll just order a whole new fan. It's not worth the hassle otherwise.

I never knew anyone photographed top of my head!

I pictured original motor name plate & more here. I have a Hunter fan in garage that I removed from my Grandfather's doctors office. He bought it used in the 1930s, I remember him saying it came from an old department store. Blades reverse by a mechanical lever you push. It's unbelievably...

Forgot pictures:

Yes...3 wire. So should I: Replace just the motor. I have two, the squirrel cage similar one & I have two industrial pedestal fans which same diameter blade, but 1/2hp bigger motor (2 speed)...they ohm out fine, work well, I'd just use one's motor, it will physically fit. Or just buy another fan...

Wow...thanks! I thought ground green wire to hot or neutral low resistance sounded weird. It's 24ft in air so nothing will touch it but I won't use it. Thanks so much. I'll take measurements...hopefully I can find a motor & trash can this one.

We removed the cupola fan in horse stable. It has a 3ft square wood mounting frame fan is attached to so we made a 36.25" square box out of 2"×10" lumber. When first installed we tested it with extension cord, black & white wires poked into plug. It worked perfectly, running over an hour, even...

I'm removing my new but defective horse barn cupola mounted fan tomorrow and found this squirrel cage one I had. It's old but I lubed motor and fan bearings and it runs great. Opening is 14"X16" (exhaust). It seems powerful, bench running blowing stuff around the garage. Heavy...it was in loft...

All switches have contacts and something to open/close them. You'd have to take switch apart to find that answer, something obviously is worn, contacts corroded, etc.

To put this in perspective, and I was born in 1952: Price of gold per ounce 1952: $34.60 Price of gold per ounce now: $1,973.71 S&P 500 ...If you invested $100 in the S&P 500 at the beginning of 1952, you would have about $159,065.19 at the end of 2022 Eviscerate me...that's ok.

I was thinking #1,8 &17 posts would answer, however... 1) I ran fan in garage a few times just to be sure it was OK...just 2 wires, hot & neutral. 2) we installed fan in cupola. 3) we ran extension cord up to it...just poked the 2 wires in cord socket...it ran perfectly. GE motor, I'm...

You're correct...and I did think if that and quadruple checked it. I even used things like a beeper (black is hot), ground to ground is zero volts, ground to white neutral zero volts. Hot to neutral 123.6 volts. Then I tried extension cord off of another breaker/outlet circuit...same thing. This...

Oh...I forgot to thank everyone for replies. Thank you!

Here's what I did this morning as I explained it to the contractor friend who was helping me: "The motor is bad. I tried down below connecting motor to extension cord...hummed & didn't turn. So I went up on scaffolding connecting motor wires right to cord like we had before & same thing. An...

If you have a home now I'd wait. If you didn't I'd put a trailer there temporarily since you have well, septic, etc. Our neighbors brother bought a nice older but fairly large travel trailer $1,500 then sold it after a couple years & house finished. Predicting the future...who knows. I had a...

Fan doesn't have speed settings, just a GE 120v motor...(I'm guessing 3/4?hp) capacitor start.

I'll make lots of checks tomorrow. Thanks all!

I installed a fan and a light in the horse stable. Fan is 120v, 5.5 amp. Light is 35 watt (300watt equ) LED. To test everything I used a 50 ft 14 gauge extension cord, wires just pushed in socket. Worked fine, and I let fan run an hour or so, even cycled it a few times. Today I wired in conduit...

Yes, only available on line and at a good price. Some places in pastures horses made a mud pie, those I can temporarily fence off until grass well established. Yard is different. Many things you can order online much cheaper even if a store has it in stock.

2,137 French porcelain dolls.

That turkey would have disappeared a week before Thanksgiving anyway...

I'm sure that included the carnys and the bearded lady...at least the ones I worked with.

Looked around and a clown with a huge red smile got his size 22 yellow shoe caught...

Once clean you could snap a rubber cap over Zerk.

No. That would be a circus gorilla driving Moss's Suburban with a load of rare porcelain French dolls.

I helped circus day before they opened. They usually ran circus for a few days, maybe a week then moved on. The day they moved I watched them pack up then leave. That afternoon I'd go back looking for stuff left behind which is when I found the chair. I tell people top is chewed up since it was...

I didn't mean to start a TSC persecution. A new one opened less than 10 minutes away. Very convenient for hardware sold by the pound, red top woven wire fence, cat litter & supplies, bird seed, horse supplies (medications, Weaver tack is ok). Overall our experience has been pretty good.

Since it's "Cool & creepy things found on your property"...would a gorilla classify? In 1952 my birth year, a train derailed off of Lawyers Road, Lynchburg Virginia carrying Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey circus animals and 35 gorillas escaped into the woods literally 2 miles from our...

That's true...which is why I save bags & receipts. I've had TSC seed not germinate, some wasn't old but manager said some is "stored and cooked in a hot trailer". I certainly know I can buy better seed elsewhere but like last night saw some $165/50#. I can't justify that. What I should do if...

Returning to things found when I bought my place 42 years ago there were old sheds here. One was full of stick furniture. Original owner lived here 1930s-late 70s.

Over two weeks ago I ordered (4) 50 pound bags grass seed, hoping to get it in a few days. It's been above freezing lowest at night, and we've had amazing amounts of rain. It's raining now. No such luck. After a week I called main customer service number..."You'll have it tomorrow". I wait a few...

Yes, I did that. The fellow I order from is a Certified arborist and landscaper. He said my choices are good ones. He orders from a nursery and I'll contact them about ordering others, some need full sun.

Some people here plant cypress for privacy along road. They grow fast. The ultimate would be two rows, the one behind staggered between first row.

I'm happy with our trees, shrubs & flowers except I made the mistake most people do which is planting trees too close. A few years ago I planted two red maples about 20-25ft apart. At the time seemed like a mile away, now limbs going into each other.

Wife picked one, I the other. Star magnolia and pink dogwood. When I called they said forcythia is fine also. I'll order & pay for other trees to plant different places.

Forty years ago I planted a long row of white pines along the road, tiny now as you see fairly large. Great thing is privacy and needles kill grass on embankment so no weed eating. Power line (7.2kv) crosses road up to our transformer. A pine died under lines years ago, stump rotted away. Trees...

They delivered my rear blade to the company who built our horse stable, about 20 minutes away. There they loaded with one of their fork lifts onto back of my truck. At home I unloaded it with forks on my bucket. Easy peasy. That's when gas was $1.89/gal so maybe $5 and an hour of my time.

Wow!

I agree. Cats too (don't forget them!). People who love animals are good people. Animals are basically good while most people are good, but there are some really bad people unlike animals! To me this is an interesting story: my dear wife grew up in the city, although spent all the time she could...

Did warning light say "your tire is screwed"?

I was thinking my chart answered the question. If not...how simple would it be to fill bucket with leaves? A cubic yard = 27 cubic feet (3×3×3). Get a big cardboard box and measure it, say it's 3'x2'x2'...so it's 12 cubic feet. Dump leaves in box.
