My tractor is hydrostatic drive which it needs to be. It's really easy to use but a camera is a must. I'll probably fabricate something simple to help keep wood chips from occasionally flying up. Small clear tarp would work.

I guess I'll soon have 40 attachments! [emoji849] I recently got a stump grinder which does a great job but leaves a foot deep pile of chips and dirt. I have 40 pines all in a row to do. I was thinking about a rake like this TSC or similar. 1) if I use it for small limbs, sticks or leaves does...

I used the MechMaxx today and it works great. They did leave one step out of instruction manual though. Installation is straightforward and I feel stupid in hindsight. Thankfully I didn't have to cut the PTO shaft because it was a perfect fit. The included shaft has a slip clutch end that goes...

Years ago a neighbor was killed. He was a passenger in his friends pickup and at an intersection said "whoa", his friend thought he said "go", they were T-boned by another truck.

My wife saw the upper frame and said Wow! We can put a plywood top on it and make a nice display table for my Halloween decorations in the living room! [emoji849]

I just received the MechMaxx stump grinder I ordered. I had tractor ready with pallet forks on to unload it, now I'm putting it together. It came with tools even and it's packed in a steel frame. [emoji106]

My Grandfather had a Taylorcraft then later a Cessna which I rode in as a little kid. It would shut off at high elevation and he would say the carburetor is frozen...but it will thaw out on the way down. [emoji43]‍[emoji94] Then sometimes he would say he felt faint and I'd have to take over...

I have a confession: [emoji848][emoji37][emoji2962] I have three Intermatic T101 timers. Each in a different shed used for holiday decorations. One we put a lot of halloween decorations down driveway and it's wired to an outdoor socket. I set it on at 7pm, off at midnight. It would run up to 7pm...

That doesn't make sense. A treadmill you're getting necessary exercise and you can hold both sides, then try just one hand...it's still exercise and way less chance of falling. Stationary bicycle also seems good.

Years ago I heard a funny one. In the mid 60s I saw The Spirit of America record holder and a fellow got pulled over for speeding. Officer said "Who do you think you are...Art Arfons?". "No" guy says "I'm Craig Breedlove" which it really was! [emoji38]

I have a Cyclone vac, Echo PB9010 backpack blower and Agrifab sweeper. Sweeper works best brushes up because leaves on top of grass.

You need a schematic. It will be easy with a printed wiring diagram. A simple test light is really all you need clipped to a good ground, be sure it lights at battery + and starter. It should light at alternator.

You can call your local police department NON emergency number and explain you'd like to test your phone for 911. I've done it in the past, no problem.

My Dad had a variety of cars throughout the 60s-70s and one '72 red Duster I really liked, then he ordered a '75 Valiant smogger that had constant problems. The start of anti-pollution crap.

I had one for a while (I collect AMC cars [emoji849]). At the time the designers were after a smaller car with same interior room as a large sedan with lots of glass, no blind spots. The running gear was fine so I saved the 258 six & Torqueflite trans. Esthetically it was a design flop, but...

My wife suggested a treadmill for walking 2 miles a day. You have something to hold onto.

I first learned to drive a 1947 Packard like this one. They were great cars.

One I still have...my first car, '66 Rambler American 220. Pix from newspaper years ago.

About that age my parents took me to see "Tom Jones", 1963 movie...that and about the time James Bond 007 movies first started coming out which I saw with friends. I saw the entire Tom Jones although my Mother seemed "uneasy". [emoji38]

I can HEAR it! Distinctly. Used one so many times. Left: "fffwwwooooppp...thunk...", Right: "PPPHHHSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHhhh!!!!!".

I have a wheelbarrow load of peeves.[emoji38][emoji849] Today a fellow shows up to give a price on replacement windows. We've been here 45 years, old house but completely remodeled except small back porch has original windows. Four small windows, replacement simple vinyl ones. Guy shows up in...

Today's peeve: I go to a local gas station to fill truck and six containers of gasoline & diesel. Swipe card, press button and LCD screen lights up blaring "music" I hate (rap) and ads for crap. 10 minutes of loud rap & crap! [emoji2959] Whatever happened to peace & quiet and do people have to...

When I met my wife in 1972 she made dandelion wine in one on those 5 gallon glass bottles people put coins in. I helped pick lots of dandelions, it had oranges, lemons, sugar & yeast in it. After sitting for weeks it got pretty nasty looking and this big blob would float to the top, air would...

Kale is a superfood. All joking aside everyone we knew who didn't like healthy food are dead! Lots of people eat for taste...Twinkies, McDs, candy, etc. I remember Jack LaLanne saying "if man makes it, you don't want it". Per Mayo Clinic: Nutrition superstar Kale is a nutrition superstar due...

Unless the walnuts are on a golf course the smaller ones would do a better job I'm betting. Most yards are far from perfect for the $4K one to work. You need 1,000 of these: [emoji2]

I insisted on a PSA test. It was very low but what I understand it doesn't 100% mean cancer-free.

Our family physician retired after 40 years in practice. Nice guy...huge hands. [emoji37] I see his replacement a year ago...this petite very nice Asian lady, with tiny hands!!! [emoji2] I get a physical "everything is great!" she says! . . "Aren't you going to check my prostate?" I ask. . ...

I think I searched "ho" instead of "hoe".

Don't Google 'Dutch hoe'[emoji849]

Y'all need a Bag-A-Nut !!!!! [emoji106]

Anyone like homemade apple pie right out of the oven?

Growing up on the farm there were only 2 trees when Grandfather bought it...black walnuts. He was a physician in private practice and the elevator operator lady had vitiligo like this photo. My Grandfather gave her walnuts for the juice tannin and it worked well covering the splotches.

I ordered the one you showed Friday in green since I have a JD. They have a camera on sale also. [emoji848] Maybe I should add to order...

Not me. I'll remove the muffler & use a lower oil/gas ratio making that baby SMOKE while I blow leaves with a fat cigar going! [emoji38]

A lot of people want a 'one size fits all' vehicle which I'm thinking is why crew cab large pickups are so popular, a 4dr family sedan+truck, but just like I have a variety of tools I bet there would be a market for a small inexpensive truck. I see a lot of Mitsubishi minicab trucks around here...

I bought a Samsung yesterday from Lowes. It was $400 on sale for $259. My Lowes card discount paid for the tax. Wife really likes it especially because the cavity is ceramic and easy to clean. Much larger than one we had.

I have a low spot with an old woven wire fence at bottom which is where I dump leaves. That's my pumpkin patch. They grow like crazy in that area when it rains all those leaves hold water and apparently supply nutrients pumpkins like.

I also have an Echo PB-9010T backpack blower that will blow leaves into the next county. I can quickly blow leaves out of sheds, bushes, etc. then sweep them up. We've come a long way from the 1950's when we raked them up with a wooden rake onto an old bedsheet.

I have a Cyclone rake and other equipment but I use this Agri Fab sweeper a lot. I removed these two parts (black lines) attaching a rope (at blue line- rope is red dashed line) that goes through an eye bolt I put on mower arm rest. Adjust sweeper brush high does a better job. Then I back up to...

Glucose monitor you wear on your arm. Wife uses Libre 3+. No more test strips and check often as you like. She uses her phone app and alarm lets you know if too high or low.

You got me thinking. I have 40 white pine trees to cut and the tree service was going to charge $100/stump. This Mechmaxx has an excellent rating and I'm thinking I ought to order one. I can use it occasionally in the future also. Pines are all about 2ft diameter +--. Have you used it yet? Seems...

It had a Quaalude dispenser and vibrating bucket seats.

Old joke...: Fall was upon a remote reservation when the Indian tribe asked their new Chief what the coming winter was going to be like. The modern day Chief had never been taught the secrets of the ancients. When he looked at the sky he couldn't tell what the winter was going to be like...

I was with my Physician Grandfather when he passed in mid 80s. Private practice, Osteopath/Surgeon and was still charging $5 for an office visit. He was dressed & going to his office when he had a massive heart attack, 87yo.

I have the one my Grandfather made 70 years ago using a '32 Chevy straight axle from a junkyard. I put a HF hitch on it, the old one was worn old. It's been through the wringer!

Electrolytic capacitors. The highest failure item. This is half the junk that needs to go, except bike & tools.

We sold used TVs and personally I'd pay 10%-20% more for new with warranty but people are "funny". I could write a book.

I'm a (11 yr.) retired TV repairman for 43 years. I started and retired at the perfect time. I still have a tube caddy, vacuum tubes and tube tester. I have a 1956 Westinghouse 21" console that a friend's (rip) parents bought new for $650...almost $8,000 today. That's the year my Dad (rip)...

He got his replicator and transporter mixed up.

You're REALLY old if you were a waiter at The Last Supper.

We get these cheap ones for many reasons (besides being cheap [emoji1787]). >They don't leak, just don't over-tighten >We put several out scattered around, so they can't fight over food >Sugar water goes bad so these don't hold much so get fresh fluid >Easy to clean

We had a Briggs and Stratton kick start motor on a homemade go cart as kids similar to this one. I put a straight pipe on exhaust. 3/4" pipe thread I believe. A long pipe sounded like it was running underwater, short pipe wasn't good either. It was 4 cycle. I'm guessing it was about 2.5 to 3hp.

Our lake we shot snapping turtles, but never others. They can remove a finger or toe!

YKYO when it takes longer to empty your bladder than it used to empty your bowels.

I tell my wife about me by the time you realize it's a good one, it's out of production.

Now THAT I'll look in to. My genius (![emoji849]) wife told me today she would open the door checking on food as it was cooking. Of course the door safety switches would shut it of but I told her NEVER do that! Maybe I'll just order a cast iron cauldron for the fireplace! [emoji2959]

I'll order one. A few $Mil?...PEANUTS![emoji1]

Best bank for the buck. Mid-size, not for a 20# turkey. I bought a new one a year ago, wife tried heating tortilla chips and it burned cabinet at magnetron. The turntable bottom area is rusty also. It works but needs replacement. Best would be a simple knob type but looks like they're all...

You can use a smoke bomb for ground hogs, put it in a hole and run your leaf blower into it. Any other holes the smoke will come out. Have a shovel & dirt handy to toss dirt into those holes. There are youtube videos showing technique.

No. Mine is a "B" scheme. I had an "A" exactly like that years ago. From the factory they had a Carter AFB carburetor, just changing that to a Holley 750 double pumper & recurving advance made a huge difference.

No, of course not...

There a fellow in Texas I talk with occasionally who has a mid-'70s AMC Hornet with a 1979 J.C.Penny battery. The battery he said is now a conversation piece. For 46 years it still starts and runs fine. Batteries are really strange. Sort of like the light bulb that was turned on in 1901 in...

Ebay pump...

I'd be upset with Kawasaki not Deere. My troubleshooting ways are unorthodox probably because of 43 years of that I had to be creative. It's either fuel or spark problems. I'd start with fuel. On ebay you can order these universal 12V fuel pumps for $10. I'd get one and several feet of 5/16"...

If it makes a sound I'll say "Ah-ha! Auditory hallucinations and phantosmia".

Thanks for "phantosmia" which I'll now say to the wife when I expell gas in the car. [emoji2]

That's the one I ordered from Amazon in May. $25

Obviously never had by aunt's beef stew! [emoji38] A black snake was in a closet a few years ago. It had a metallic odor like copper. Do you have a pet dog or borrow one to help locate it?

It's either: 1) shower with a stronger soap 2) a dead animal, mouse, rat, etc. 3) paranormal. You need Ghostbusters or a priest. Sometimes when I smell something weird like that my wife says that's the first sign of a brain tumor.[emoji2962]

First, I understand buy the best and cry once, but FOR THE MONEY has anyone experience with this tiller from Rural King? Attachments are all great, and a tiller I could use but at 73yo and probably 5 to 10 hours use a year...$630 for this 6ft one seems like a great deal. I have a few pasture...

Don't. It was hilarious![emoji38][emoji1787][emoji23]

Wife and I feel good but after I became 70 every chair, sofa, bench even a tree stump I see calls out to my weary behind.

$42 for tires They were white and all less than 3/4" [emoji849][emoji23] I inherited my uncle's toy collection from 1930s-1950s, mostly cars, trucks, airplanes and some farm equipment. Some the rubber tires were disintegrating and there's we just returned from a week Pennsylvania vacation...

I just hollered to the wife "Tony Curtis died!". She yelled back..."Again???!!!" [emoji38]

Here's a peeve: Sitting in a booth in a restaurant and some 400+ pounder sitting on the other side thinks they're in a rocking chair or has to get up 12 times for buffet or bathroom trip waddles. The whole time you're trying to eat it's like riding "Tornado" at the Calgary Stampede.

Yesterday I noticed my 26 y.o. Holsteiner mare back legs above the fetlock had bloody spots. I put hydrogen peroxide on areas which foamed a lot, then hydrocortisone cream and then gall salve (to keep insects out). Today it looks some better but curious what others think. What's strange is it's...

Yes I wish I had my 2 stage 175 psi compressor outside. I would have it on concrete in a small insulated room with door. About 5ft x 8ft would be fine plus garden hose storage. I have an air hose reel which is handy for outside. I should have insulated everything before moving things in and you...

Could be. I have Seven Dust...would that work?

I have islands I planted in the yard with a variety of trees, flowers & bushes and most I planted a Dwarf Alberta Spruce tree. I planted when they were about a foot tall and water when no rain especially first 2 years. The most recent one has this dead/brown area at base. Others (3 to 9 ft tall)...

Friend just sent me this:

If I have to spend the day cutting trees gas is the choice. Recently a tree fell across our driveway and I used both gas & battery, especially when one gets pinched! I hope gas & diesel will be around for a long long time. I just looked up corded (120 VAC) chainsaws. I have two here and they're...

It's all about the chain...correct? A sharp chain running at the right rpm & torque will cut properly. Yesterday I cut an 18" at base cedar with my Greenworks 18" 80v saw (wished I known about the one for sale I would have bought it for a spare). Checking different sites of all things Walmart...

We live here! [emoji38]

My wag is the seat safety switch. I would check it.

Snake I took outside with long pliers and released it on sidewalk. I'm not sure what it is. I heard even venomous little ones are bad. It had a white mouth.

Actually both of these pictures I just took...one is a deformity the other is what-the-h*((-kind-of-snake is this???[emoji51][emoji33] Behind the house over the hill I planted a row of white pines. One grew a witches broom. The other just now I'm in my garage, of course the section with my...

Curiosity is all.

Lots of investigations would be just the wife and me, sometimes alone and some with the group. Ghostec has fallen by the wayside since the founder passed a couple years ago at 86 and two members at 69. Way too much to write here.

I'm the world's skeptic with investigations and most things can be logically explained. After years of investigations I couldn't define what a ghost even is. Something has to be very profound for me to believe it's paranormal. Some things defy all logic and there are unfortunately lots of...

Where are you located?

Me, I'd probably want to wear gloves something that old. [emoji106]

Sort of like this:

Lots of choices. There's a metal (brass) Basilica stand, from basic to ornate. The basic one could be fabricated easily with brass parts like a lamp base, the top if you know a metal fabricator or buy ready made. Attached to a walnut wooded base, basically a box with drawer. Over the years I've...

I had our gravel driveway paved 35 years ago and again 2 years ago. Best thing I ever did. No dust/dirt tracked in house, so easy rolling anything on it. No weeds or buying gravel.

This was in a white pine near house just now. I haven't seen one in many, many years.

I got one of these large 1 liter steins and every evening it was Breyers homemade vanilla, a banana, whole milk, Hershey syrup, Ovaltine with whipped cream on top. Every evening. Then pants went from 34, 36, 38, 40 & I had to punch holes in my belt! [emoji38] They ought to have this sticker on...

I think he said "double aught spy". Aught as in "double aught buck" shot. 007= zero zero seven, popular at the time so a 00 spy.

What's interesting to me is the lady had AGS, had severe red meat allergies then acupuncture treatments which cured it. It seems illogical but it worked for her.

It's a very long story in my case, how I became interested.

That's different than an investigation. We've investigated many places and there's a technique using equipment. A place like that IMO would have lots of activity especially with jail cells in the basement. I have lots of audio/video that would make your hair stand on end! (Unless you're like me...

A neighbor had red meat allergy from tick bite. We're now seeing lots of seed ticks that are larvae I believe, pin head size.

I wish we could go there. I would bet $ it's haunted.

I'd love to do a paranormal investigation there, I bet it's haunted. [emoji106]

I can't make it out and that "home" looks like a large asylum! [emoji33]

I got this today. Vevor top link. Mine the pipe got damaged and I got tired of fooling with it. I'll keep mine for a spare. I removed that safety catch on it and didn't use hoses or banjo hardware because my hoses connected to it fine. $142 from Walmart online.

Yes it was a goof. They're pretty within a few years and super fast growing and inexpensive but a bad choice like bamboo, privit and lots of other things.

Years ago I had a friend, engine builder and SS/A drag racer. The started his engine one day and it didn't sound right, then saw something coming out of a header collector. With pliers he pulled out a shop rag. Then he remembered he laid it over the Holley Dominator the night before.

She's had an Endocrinologist & family Dr. The point I was trying to make was her blood sugar levels were ok with 50 in am, 50 in pm. Then Glycoshield she uses less insulin. Yesterday zero insulin just Glycoshield. Hopefully with that no more insulin. The CGM charts blood sugar throughout the day...

I meant 50 UNITS not cc. Her A1C I just asked is in the 6's.

It is a Peeve...correct?????

My wife was on 50cc insulin (Novalin 70/30) at breakfast and dinner. Now since she takes a dropper of Glycoshield she takes 15cc insulin in morning and that's all. She wears a Libre 3+ CGM and her alarm goes off in evening about 11pm sometimes 3am and her level is below 70...usually 60s...

While I was at it I cut this big limb also. It was always in the was limbs touching the ground almost, trying to mow the lawn.

This morning this was blocking our driveway. No wind at all but yet another huge limb snapped off of a Bradford Pear I planted many years ago going along driveway. My truck is hidden, full of brush. Two heaping loads and two more tomorrow. I was thinking today was going to be a relaxing day...

I have a friend, a great mechanic but ends every sentence with "and all like that". The strangest thing a few years ago a guy leak-down tested our propane system. All was well, but everything he said he incorporated the word "wise" into it. "I put the guage-wise on your propane line making sure...

Two years ago we bought a new Kia Rio. It has 9K miles on it and since new it's had a "dead spot" in acceleration if you're driving any speed, hit brakes then nail it, it hesitates then goes. It can be dangerous pulling out somewhere and a car/truck appears. JMS makes a module that you unplug...

I just got hoses from Discount Hydraulic Hose in Pennsylvania. Good price & service.[emoji106]

I was thinking the same thing. If I had my camera I would have taken a picture, but I insisted a clerk go with me to prove I was being honest. The clerk took a picture and showed it to the manager who said no. I was sure they'd honor the price. We've all bought things a customer put on the wrong...

Get some white spray paint. Do this after midnight. Don't answer the door.

That's why my Dr. recommended Valium (Diazepam) because it stops a person's overreaction to something (bee sting or other trauma). Certainly check with your own physician first. They're inexpensive, easy to carry. That's why rescue people even if the victim cuts their leg off tells you to remain...

Unfortunately the beetles attack those also from what I read. I'll want to do as much research as possible before planting & having these cut down.

I just spoke with the Virginia county forestry agent and said he would have loggers cut them as some suggested here instead of paying it's making a little money. He believes the pines at the homeplace are Virginia Pine. He's going there to be sure. I could take my backhoe or there's a tractor...

Superglue. I was going to mention that. Is there such a thing as medical grade? That would be good to stop bleeding I'm thinking.

Must be because I ordered what they had left! Edit: They just called saying they didn't have enough to supply a kit. I said just send what you have and they couldn't. [emoji3525]

Nitrile gloves? Maybe oxygen if you have room. Glucose for a diabetic maybe. I carry a few 5mg Diazepam (Valium) with me my Dr. swears by it, bee stings & trauma because he said the body over-reacts to things. Peroxide. Bar of soap.

I just returned from my homeplace, 15 miles away. There are I bet 10 acres of these evergreens that are growing like crazy, from little seedlings to 20 footers. I looked it up and I believe they're Longleaf Pine. This is one I just pulled up by the roots & put in a pot here & water. If that's...

Snap trap with peanut butter is better. A poison mouse can kill a cat, probably a dog also.

We have a huge boxwood in front yard. A landscaper friend said it must be old they grow 1/2"/year.

Based on my homeplace not far from here I would never plant bamboo, honeysuckle, kudzu, multifloral roses, privit, trumpet vine, etc. I'm always fighting poison ivy & sumac, paradise trees & privit. Growing up my Grandmother next door loved gardening & said the only way to get rid of so many...

My wife has been type 2 diabetic over 30 years. She was on 50cc insulin morning and 50cc evening. She ordered this weeks ago now on 15cc morning, 15cc evening. I believe based on her family all diabetic (and she was adopted), my family no diabetes the difference is her family drank lots of diet...

I was hoping for this. [emoji2]

My cousin just retired from the DEQ, but I had a long talk with a fellow worker about it. Hopefully something can be done.

In my pumpkin patch one is growing through a fence. I'll have to cut & patch fence when it's ready.

Another day, Another peeve...[emoji849] At my homeplace where my 98yo Mother still lives and I was born 73 years ago I remember when Grandfather had a 2 acre pond put in 1954. Spring fed and until a year ago clear water. You can see Google satellite view how grey/brown the water is now. About 40...

I believe the bugs are spreading. One by one they die off and at the time 40+ years ago I gave some to a neighbor which he planted. His are dying off. You see sawdust at the base and hear bugs chewing from 30ft away.

I'll explore different options. The tree service charged $400 for one tree I certainly understand. If they cut 20 it wouldn't be $8000 because their men and equipment would all be here. My wag would be $2500(?). Everything chipped would make a huge pile and that's worth a lot to me.

This seems interesting to know. That is a good price.

In 1960 a $29.95 coffee maker = $220 today's dollars. A pound of coffee was 75 cents so $1.88/40 oz. =$20.70 today. Basically you made out like a bandit on the maker and coffee about the same.[emoji2]

I'd be tempted to make a Bible pedestal like this, easy if you have a router. Then you could make an acrylic or glass top which would be just a cover to go over it. If Bible is 12"×14"×10" cover would be, say, 13"×15"×11"

Today's Peeve: And I'm 99.999% sure everyone can relate...can't find sh*t! [emoji2959] The string trimmer I'm using just ran out of string. No problem because I have large spools of different sizes. I can picture it exactly where it was, but it's not there. No one stole it and I'll find it three...

My Mother has one like this, you toast one side then flip it around to toast other side. She uses a pop-up toaster from the 50s now.

The service I've used is amazing in that they don't leave a twig or sign equipment was there (ruts). I'm talking to wife about a nice fence, but she wants a hedgerow. A fast growing hedgerow would probably be the best option but I don't want something I'd have to trim or pay trimming. Low...

Cypress Cypress are everywhere. This is what you want...but this is what you see!

The only thing is loggers make a mess and that's our front yard.

From our house to secondary road is about 500ft. There's a ditch along paved road and my land up about 3'-4' above road. 40+ years ago I ordered a few hundred white pine saplings, spaced 10ft apart with dibble bar along road, up drive, etc. for privacy. They were perfect at about 6ft-10ft but...

I haven't read most threads but the homeplace and this place used to be gravel, now asphalt. I read many years ago in Farmer's Almanac an old then fellow wrote an article about it and he used an old watering can and filled it with used motor oil, old gas or diesel and went down drive with it...

About 30 years ago a friend's Dad who was 55 at the time asked me about health insurance. My advice was shop for the highest deductible you can find because $10,000 isn't the end of the world but $1M would be for most. At the time my wife & I had Anthem Blue Cross & we still do & Medicare now...

T shirts I had made. I had a favorite one from the 1972 movie by the same name. The first and only(?) X-rated cartoon. Robert Crumb did the artwork. My original t shirt disintegrated after 50 years (why? [emoji38]) so I was able to sent stickermule via photographs having it printed on black...

I just have fun with those: >Emergency contact? 911 >Sexual performance? I don't understand the question. It's something I remember doing many years ago and I enjoyed it. It was like checkers only I and my female opponent were naked. I usually won but sometimes let my opponent beat me. >Any...

I have a 70yo car with the factory spare, WWW bias ply Goodyear that's become hard plastic, still holds air. I have Grandad's small trailer he made from a '32 Chevy straight axle that has red rubber inner tubes. [emoji38] I recently replaced tires on an 2011 Mustang, 12K miles the original...

None for me either. Chiggers is a different story.

Gramma had a flux capacitor

Here's a peeve. Buinesses of all flavors that send you emails, sometimes several a DAY!!! I used to delete then the outrageous ones I report as spam. [emoji2959]

Ozone generator works wonders

Order Grandpa this! [emoji2]

In grade school milk was 3c and everyone went nuts when it went to 5c. "Chocolate?" the lady would ask. "No, vanilla is fine" I'd say. I still have my Robin Hood lunchbox, dents in it from the school bully's head.

Oh those said sure you can help! Gosh you're kind of cute!...then I woke up from my nap.[emoji38][emoji849]

We have zero mouse/rat problems. Zero

Here's my peeve of the day...I offered to help these two young ladies with their tractor and they said "Get away you old bald grandpa!" Or something like that. My hearing aids need batteries. "Maybe it's out of gas" I said and they said "I'm sure you have enough for six tractors!"...so I left...

My Dad was in the Navy in WWII and one sailor had Undulant fever from drinking unpasteurized milk. We buy it from the Amish when we go to Lancaster county Pennsylvania.

Absolutely! Here's her yearbook photo. Friends told me she was fired for breaking a boys arm when she was a teacher in Texas! [emoji33]

We had a really rough grade school teacher who was built and looked like Gomer Pyle's Sargeant Carter. She had five rulers held together with rubber bands and would bend your fingers back whacking your palm so hard your hand went numb. I hit someone with a paper wad and she said "come HERE!"...
