Good morning!!!!

[txdon]

Ok Kyle I saw you drop him off. But don’t worry I turned him around and he’s heading back to Giddings.

Poor little guy, nobody wants him.

Proves that you can park at end of the lot and some hump will park beside it.

That's what i thought when i saw it.

Randy- I too have a long history of respiratory challenges. Those steroids work really well, sometimes "too well" by masking symptoms. Longterm use can result in lifelong side effects. The inhalers always "wired" me. I am relieved to read that you are/might be calling someone. This is a really sucky time of year to get a bad respiratory illness. It seems these Springtime illnesses last forever. Is Ellen showing symptoms? You and she were "exposed" to all kinds of "foreign" pathogens during your trip(s) and social interactions. Please take care.- J

Don- I like the rat snake picture. Nice size too. Around here that would be considered a large snake. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for sharing the plant based diet information too... There is a lot of contradictory information on the internet (surprise, surprise). My/our dietary focus is to address the auto-immune inflammatory cause and effect process. A lot of what you have provided on cholesterol management applies.

I was never a car guy, except for wanting to drive. But i wish i had my grandfathers car, probably a 40s car. I believe it might of had a rumble seat. It was garage kept, dont remember my grandfather driving it. It was sold at his estate auction in the 70s for $300. I was in college at the time, when i heard that i couldnt believe it. I would have loved to of had it. I didn't even know they were having the auction.
Will have to ask dad if he remembers the yr and model.

I could use one of those!! I started another post in owning/operating about my 3 point PHD. First time I tried it, screwed itself right into the ground up to the gearbox....not real fun:shocked:

My neighbor has a 6" auger for his 3PT PHD, and he says every time he uses it, it screws itself into the ground and won't come out. He now uses a 12" for the small stuff, and I copied his lead when I purchased my 3PT PHD. The ground is very rocky here, and I rarely get more than 2' down before the bit gets stopped cold by something. Then out comes the iron spud bar and two handled PHD for hours of backbreaking exercise. I've often thought of rigging a hydraulic cylinder to the 3PT version, but have yet to find a good how-to on it. But I see a fencing campaign in my future, so that's on the list.

Proves that you can park at end of the lot and some hump will park beside you. I can park my Corvette a city block away from everyone and come out to find a piece of crap next to it.

Taken several years ago, when I thought owning one of "The Legendary Driving Machines of Germany" wasn't the PITA it turned out to be. I waited on the a-hole to come out of the store and back his truck off my hood. No damage, but it was so close I couldn't see any daylight between the two vehicles.ullinghair::muttering:

spent two hours cleaning up my garage in the pouring rain, felt good getting it at least partially done. Taking down my sunroom setup as almost everything is out of there.

electronic rain gauge says about 2 1/4 inches, manual one says a little over 3. I trust the latter to be more accurate.
that should be just about it for day.

David/Sodamo, surprise your wife some day on a routine errand by pulling up to a long boat full of native Hawaiian rowers.
Just going to the Doc's honey...
Actually, how often do you have to island hop?

That auger driller contraption drove those 10 7' posts in 2 hours.

Those two guys told me that they owned the drilling rig and trailer and rent skid steers for each job. They were from Maine.

I need a dog fence and I have no clue how to site it with the given "necessary (wife) parameters" and existing property layout. I am morally against those invisible fences and I do not think it would stop a St. B. only irritate it.

 

[jbrumberg]

Drew- The last time that I surprised my Wife the tears were not of joy. The "surprise" Dobie puppy went over worse than the surprise trilobite fossil. Wifey would probably love to have a surprise of a canoe full of muscular Hawaiian rowers. Wifey does want to visit Hawaii :wink:

It stopped my neighbors st B. That was one mean dog.

I have a little 1 man auger that would take like 3 hours to drill a 4" hole just 24" deep. I think I just need to learn the curve of the big one.

Saw that thread. I use my phd on 20hp massey with no problem. Just little down, then pull to clear the dirt. I also use 12" auger.

 

[toppop52]

JB, to answer your question, Ellen is not showing symptoms, I think this was starting before we left home last week.

There is usually a simple explanation for any contradictory information and it can be found here using the search. NutritionFacts.org | The Latest in Nutrition Related Research
If you do find contradictory information that you can't find the information on just PM me. I think I have heard them all and researched them all.

Doubt is what is marketed, but don't buy it, look deeper. Here is an excellent example how the consumer is confused about butter.

Tried a new hitch in the ranger receiver, still won't go in.

 

[Ed of all trades]

Good evening all, Went to the grocery store today and the rest of the day was doing little things in the house.

Drew, I enjoy rain and almost never want it to stop or go away.

Buckeye, could you measure and if it is close grind a hitch to fit?

Randy, As you already know, don't fool around get checked out. Prayers sent.

Prayers sent for those in need. Ed

Have you tried modifying the trailer side?

Probably what I'll have to do. Don't expect to use hitch much, had the ranger over a yr before trying it. I was going to throw chain over the ball when attaching my pallet drag, instead i pushed chain inside and put a hitch pin in to hold it.

They were calling for downpours, so far just light sprinkles.

Found neighbors cat trapped in my barn again, good thing i went out there.

 

[jbrumberg]

Don- Thanks for those links. I checked them out. They are now bookmarked. I have no problems with PM's and PMing, I rarely do, but I really appreciate the offer. The way it's going I probably will. My cholesterol is not great either, but my primary doctor feels not high enough to justify prescribing statins and mess with my already messed up liver. Cutting out the high cholesterol foods will not hurt.

When it comes to a lot of "scientific" research studies it appears that the funding sources usually get the desired results for which they are paying. I learned how one can lie with statistics and skew experimental designs and findings in grad school.

Randy- Thanks for sharing about Ellen. I am glad to read that she is not getting sick. It's bad enough that you are sick. I hope that you can get some sleep tonight.

BEF- Thanks for sharing about your neighbor's St. B. and the invisible fence. People assume that all Saint B's are "saints". Some are not. I do not scare that easily, but I met one St.B. when we adopted our last that did. A scary product of a backyard breeder If it is in the best interests of Brogen I would consider an invisible fence. He would not be outdoors unsupervised in any event due to possible interactions with the local coy wolves, porcupines, or upset momma bears.

Just got cobbler #5 out of the oven. We are eating one every two days. And no, we are not gaining weight the cobblers are just fruit and oats and spices. They are an excellent breakfast and/or snack.

My Dad, before he died, changed his corn field into a coastal field. This year we found out that last years coastal did not take and my mom will have to get the field replanted again this spring. Arg.
