Good Morning Guys, Ct, 34 to start going to 49 with rain all day ! Light rain now getting heavy later ! Kyle , prayers for your son, hopefully nothing serious! 🙏 Frits, prayers to your son also, hopefully you can talk him through this and get some counseling! 🙏 Hope all have a good day...

Good Afternoon Drew, Sorry your having so much trouble with the green house project ! After hearing what you have gone through, I probably would have given up long ago ! I admire your determination! My next door neighbor who has 15 acres just north of my property, just built a nice green house...

Good Evening Dennis, Dennis, yes when out in the field I do the same thing ! It’s used a lot to go back to the barn and get all the tools I forgot ! Or carting rounds of wood to the backside of the barn for splitting ! Probably not even doing the 15 mph ! Have a good evening!

Good Afternoon Guys, newbury, yes I am in the same club ! Was going to move to Vt and then my kids decided to have 4 kids during the pandemic ! :) Now I get there occasionally, which is still ok, but I am not a fan of taking care of 2 homes ! PopG, nice bike ! I really lost track of vhow...

Good Afternoon Guys, Ct, 22 to start going to 36 with a lot of wind making it feel much colder! Work day to day ! Hope all have a blessed and safe day! 🙏

Good Afternoon Plowhog, That’s some serious snow ! If you travel on Sunday , be careful, some drivers are not !!

Good Afternoon Guys , Ron, I’m betting there are a lot of people reading your post that wish they could retire at 62 ! For me back in 2008, the economy fell through the floor ! I had 20 years at PB, so technically I was able to retire ! Also both our sons were out of college so I decided to...

Good Morning David, Well I clicked on the expresso link ! Wow that thing looks amazing! I will be interested to see how that works out ! Also will be interested to find out what the final verdict on the Scag is ! Have a great day ! 🙏

Good Evening Check, Sorry to hear that you sold the lake house ! I am guessing that you thought that through before making that decision ! As you stated, the price was right !

Good Evening Bill, When you are trucking that far north are those roads mostly dirt or are just the main roads paved ?How far north do you haul ?

Good Evening, Ron, I retired from Pitney Bowes in 2008. That was my last full time job, although I have worked part time here and there for some time. Now I am only working one day per week, and thats more for getting out of the house than anything else ! Although a few extra bucks a week does...

Good Morning Guys, Vt, 28 to start going to 48 ! Looks like a partly sunny day here in the Green Mountains. We are packing up today and heading back to Cotaxicut ! I did get a fair amount of rounds of ash cut up yesterday for next years fire wood ! We got a light dusting of snow last night...

Good Afternoon Dennis, Yep,I have the Farm Boss also and I have a smaller Stijl 025, I think ! Kind of wish I had a small limb saw also, but I don’t ! Actually using the Farm Boss today on an ash that came down in the last storm ! That thing will really cut when the chain is sharp ! But kind...

Good Morning Guys, Vt, 7 to start going to 36 ! Sun is up and the sky is blue ! Some shop time today to clean my mess out there, maybe a bit more work on contouring the seat pan. Had a tree come down on the north side of the property, I may try cutting some of that down to see if it’s any...

Good Afternoon Plowhog, Yes indeed I have first hand experience! 😉 On the seat, yes I try to remove most of the stock with the band saw and that angled Vee on the front I use a hand grinder to form that ! Then I trace that profile onto the boards to the left and right of it and then finally...

Good Morning Guys, Vt, 12 to start going to 22 ! Cloudy now with some light flurries ! A stark difference in temps from yesterday! David, I have start issues on my 1982 Wheel Horse, 12 hp. I think it’s an issue with the ACR. I can still get it started but it’s difficult! Of course I wish you...

Good Morning Guys, Vt, 32 to start going to 45 ! Uncanny for this time of year here ! We got in about 8:30 last night , long drive at night but not much traffic ! Sitting in front of the wood stove trying to get it going again ! Seems as I get older, I’m not a fan of long night trips ! But...

Good Morning Guys, Ct, 15 to start going to 38 or so ! Sunny now, hope it stays that way ! Work today ! Hope all have a blessed and safe day ! 🙏

Good Morning Guys, 2017 Ford F150 5.0 L V8, Super Cab with 6.5 ft bed. I use it everyday, occasional saw mill runs for wood working projects! Also occasionally pull my 22 ft pontoon boat ! It’s been a very good vehicle so far, bought it new in February of 2017 so 7 years old.

Good Evening Scootr, The terminal price for heating oil this past Friday was $2.87 ! It’s basically the same stuff as dyed off road diesel ! We mark it up about $.80, unless it’s a large account, then it’s cheaper ! Of course your in California where everything is more expensive ! 😉

Good Morning Guys, Ct , 24 to start going to 36 ! Nice sunny day so far with little to no wind ! GM, Dennis, yes I agree ! I have a Honda motor on my log splitter and also on our 8KW generator! Never more than two pulls ! They definitely have it figured out ! GM Bill, the gator tail I had...

Good Afternoon Again, Ron, just curious what you used on the threads ? Teflon tape or something else ! Bill, I feel the same way, love the duck but not a real fan of the sweet orange sauce ! Fried Gator Tail is very good, if you go south you should really try it !

Good Afternoon Guys, Ct, 17 to start going to 35 ! Nice sunny day ! Last night Kathleen’s BD party went off real well ! About 30 people attended! We were on the 19 th floor of the Omni Hotel in New Haven, beautiful views of the city ! We spent the night there, that’s why the late checkin ...

Good Afternoon Guys, David, maybe you can talk Kyle into machining a LH nut ! Or better yet find out if NacMaster Carr stocks it ! English or metric ? I could do it for you if I still worked at Pitney Bowes ! Unfortunately don’t have those capabilities any longer ! Drew, all I can think of now...

Good Morning Drew, I’m thinking Dennis really doesn’t want to look at fried Muskrat ! 😂😂 Wife making chicken soup for me, just a little more palatable!! 😉

Good Morning Guys, Ct, 26 to start going to 34 and then temp falling off the Cliff tonite ! 😒 Dennis, that is an astute observation on your part ! Where did we go wrong ? 😉 2 1/2” so far, still snowing ! It was supposed to stop an hour ago ! 😂 Took Kathleen to the hair dresser at 9 because...

Good Evening Guys, Hi Phil, Yep, Kathleen and I are not feeling great either ! Beautiful job on the bowls ! That live edge stuff is quite unique ! Very nice ! Our sons and DIL's are throwing a surprise birthday party for my wife who turned 70 back in the beginning of Februrary ! I just hope we...

Good Morning Guys, Ct , 26 to start going to 38 but with a pretty stiff wind ! I agree with PopG, reading TSA will definitely put you to sleep Buppies ! 🙏 PopG very nice repair on the mower, should last many more years ! Buppies, is it possible to get a little walking exercise in during the...

Good Evening Guys , Plow hog, beautiful dog, sorry for your loss ! I would feel just as you ! David, we have very similar chairs here at our Ct home ! We bought these stretch plastic covers which have a felt bottom ! So far they have worked out well ! Also wondering how your making out with...

Good Morning Dennis , First try taking some Zicam for that scratchy throat ! Works for me usually! The scams out there are unbelievable, I wish these people would find a real job ! 😒

Good Morning PopG, Nice job on the deck repair ! I like the state of art CAD repair on the irregular patch plates ! 😉

Good Morning Guys, Ct, 20 to start going to 32 ! We got about 9 or 10” of snow yesterday! The wet heavy stuff ! Bright and sunny out there but pretty cool ! Kathleen wants me to grill steaks tonite, so I need to clear part of the deck to get to the grill ! 😉 Scootr, happy birthday to your dad...

Good Morning Guys, Ct, 28 to start going to 35 ! Still snowing but expected to slow up by early afternoon ! Good Morning Phil, First get well soon, anyone up before Ron must not be feeling well ! Yes on moving the truck into the garage, just way to much work to clean it off ! We have about 6"...
