Did anyone else wonder if the title was some euphemism? No? Just me huh.

My understanding is most cultures that eat goat cook it very low and slow because it is so tough. Wife wanted goats on the property, but I don't want to deal with trying to keep them contained. Little buggers will chew through anything. (Or just climb over)

I get it. Unless someone fights the fight it will continue. Of course, with commercial pilots you usually are talking union and that is negotiated. Effectively, you agreed to it. The union really doesn't care if you keep flying except where higher average pay boosts the leadership kitty. I...

I never answer a call unless I know who is calling or Maybe if a contractor says someone will call and the number is local. Usually just let vm handle it. Most don't even leave a message.

Funny, the same thing applies to tractors, but many people will not believe it.

It has always been this way. Businesses don't exist to create jobs, that is a positive By Product of successful business. If you are in business solely to create jobs, you will soon be out of business and those jobs gone along with it. The fact that some people cannot understand why...

One of the risks we take living outside the nanny infested cities. We buy out here because we want the freedom, how can we get upset when others do the same? I suppose neighbors could raise pigs or something nearby that would make it a less than pleasant wedding experience. Or, just talk to...

The FSLA of 1938 required employers to pay hourly workers time and a half for hours worked in excess of 40 per week. He wanted to require OT, but could not legally not pay "overtime pay". That's what mandatory OT is you have to work extra, but you still get paid time and a half.. unless your...

Let's break this down...max years of service is not age discrimination. And yes, those laws which set a maximum age are illegal and discriminatory. Like any other illegal law, they have to be challenged up to the Supreme Court to be struck down. Regardless, we are talking about...

Travelall added 4WD first. Until then, you just had a station wagon.

No, the only place where age discrimination is legal is when it is proscribed in the constitution. Meaning, it sets age minimums for some public office. The only way to set age maximums would be to amend it.

How to recognize an article written by someone who knows nothing about which they write. "One of the first things McCardell did was strip 11,000 middle managers from the workforce, most of whom were experienced labor negotiators." So, most of 11 THOUSAND middle managers were experienced labor...

Dad bought a Travelall in 1973 when he retired from USAF. We had a Scout II (owned by the dealership) from about 1974 to 1982. One of the vehicles in which I learned to drive. Of course, ours was red and white. Uncle drove an identical one except his roof was white, ours was red. You are...

I would expect a lawsuit for age discrimination. Completely fair to discriminate on competence. Illegal to discriminate solely on age...unless of course you amend the constitution.

Have your representative show up in swimwear?

Pretty sure the older folks are more in touch with prior generations than younger folks. Young people, as a group, just don't know what they don't know. Most of us us thought we were brilliant and invincible at 21. By 41, most of us knew we were neither. The tests are just to weed out the...

No thanks. It is worth more than 400% now that is is developed. :)

I do low key worry that these same charlatans will try to 'buy' it without me. I wonder if my sort-of DIL could send a cease and desist letter.

(y):cool:🐶

Not sure...I saw a guy at Dollar General the other night with 3-4 ~10-12' pine trunks in the bed of his pickup. Smuggling? Maybe that's how they transport the Ash. What's left when they uproot the trees? Ash holes.

Not to mention hoodieman. Not everyone ages the same. Definitely better to do cognitive.

Today in the mail I got not 1, but 2 cash offers to buy my property. I'm so lucky. One offered me 55% of what we paid for the land 2 years ago. The other offered 73%. The house that I will likely finally move into this week cost 3x the land price. I think I'm going to pass on their...

The problem with the Senate is the 17th. The Senate's job in our republic is to represent the interests of the states. When state legislatures decide, they put the old ones to pasture, even if only to further the careers of themselves. Another way they could improve would be to have committee...

Frustrating for you. Root cause may be this. ^ Some people don't treat other people's equipment like it is their own. Even friends. If I were your friend and I broke your tractor, I'd be paying. But that's just me. At least if you run your machine yourself, you know exactly what happened.

Um, this one confirms your version.

Ok, try this one. Read under Aftermath. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979%E2%80%931980_International_Harvester_strike For those who want the shorter version: The strike severely impacted the company's financial status. International Harvester lost $257.2 million in the second quarter, for...

Nah, just has bought in so far to the union storyline, he cannot fathom that it was more fantasy than fact. I know lots of people like that. Good people, but too trusting when they were young.

Read more carefully. Cub Cadet was invented by IH. They didn't sell it to Cub Cadet, they were Cub Cadet. They sold the entire line, name and all to MTD. Read Cub Cadet's history. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cub_Cadet Sold due to financial hardships. One of those hardships was the UAW.

Still losing money. The 'official' rate is currently 3.7%. That excludes food and energy. The real inflation rate is much higher and about to bounce up again.

Saving dough during inflation? Throwing money away. Invest that dough. Buy land. Even if you take a short term hit, land will always bounce back strong.

Not factual. Cub Cadet was an IH brand name for its line of garden tractors. They sold the brand and the business to MTD in the early 80s. My family had IH dealerships and I spent many an afternoon mowing on various cub cadets.

Who can say? Maybe if allowed to negotiate his own pay and be rewarded for excellence performance, he would have done better.

I don't think it going to 2024 is a big surprise. What would likely stop that is people having no money and wanting to work or intervention by DC.

Oh no! I think the neighbor got Ultrarunner...

How country are you? There are folks that live in the county on 1-5 acres right next to a bunch of other folks. They are fixin' to get on each other's nerves. Smallest places near me are 15 acres. Only 1 or 2 can be seen from the road. I hear more cows, roosters and crows than anything else...

I drive by the Priefert facility every so often. Their tractors have their own branding on them.

Zoom in on picture. He read your mind...its a 40.:)

Yes and no. TYM bought started the process in 2016. Acquired all of Kukje (Branson's parent company) in 2021 and made the name changes in January of this year. Every Branson model is still a TYM model with the same numbering. My point was that the models didn't change when TYM changed the...

With a G hood ornament?

Branson is TYM

I think that is useful. Let people know, but ultimately, it is up to them. If they have a fire that gets out of control, hold them accountable.

She was only a centrist if you compare her to the latest crop of extremists on the left. She was very far left of center, as were a majority of her constituents. Not a knock, just an observation. That guy from WV is a centrist.

That's a weird looking tiller on there. :)

Historically, luxury vehicles were engineered to exacting standards, but were finicky about lubrication and environments. 'Tough' vehicles were engineered to be able to take a wider range of conditions and use lower quality fuels and lubricants (as availability may be tough in remote...

Using it, absolutely. Replacing all (or even most) their fossil fueled equipment with it, no. SpecOps is very small volume compared to the rest of the military. It makes sense for them to use quiet EV in-theater. How did they and the EVs get there...Jets using oil based fuels. Tanks, jets...

494 or 474? 494 is another step bigger. Mine's that size, but we don't do snow down here. The white stuff means stay inside until Mr. Sun comes back and melts the mean snow away. :)

That's what I love about TBN. People channel their inner Vanilla Ice..."...got a problem? Yo, I'll solve it..."

Wife always preferred white. Dark blue or dark green for me. Current fleet is 2 X medium blue and 1 red. When you buy used, color is not a deal breaker (most of the time...still don't think I would buy an Electric Lime (or Yellow or Orange) vehicle.

I thought any self-respecting cheesehead (my younger 2 are bona fide cheeseheads) would never pass up a brat for a frank. Those are for kids. You know the drill. Boil them in beer, finish on the grill. Man, you're making me hungry just thinking about it. Gotta head up to Karl's in Menomonie...

Bwahaha! Imagine the 3rd Army lined up waiting for superchargers or the clouds (or day) to break so they can fuel up from the sun. Diesel is much more portable. The only modern alternative is nuclear...not yet ready for thousands of tanks with little reactors.
