Ah man, I hate to hear that. Fingers crossed.

Now that's the kind of advice that I need. I'll let my wife see it. :) Speaking of my wife, I can tell you what her favorite tool is ... the telephone. Whenever something breaks or goes wrong around the house, she picks it up and calls me. Her work is done. :) Favorite tool, that's a tough...

Finished my third mowing today. Man, the yard looks bad this year. I haven't had this many weeds since we moved here 14 years ago. I sprayed pre-emergent back in November but I guess it's worn off and since I didn't do it again at the start of spring, I'm paying for it now. I've already...

I'm sorry, I don't know how much experience you have on your tractor or what kind of conditions you're working so if it seems that I'm insulting your intelligence, pardon me. On my Kubota, if the radiator, heat exchanger and oil cooler aren't kept spotlessly clean it can lead to it starting...

I don't know anything about Genseal. I've always used "Slime". I know, it's one of the auto store products but it's almost always worked for me. I don't pay any attention to the quantities it says to use on the jug. I pour in 2 or 3 times that amount. I reckon that in a tractor I'm not...

I don't know anything about Kioti's but I have noticed a couple of them starting to show up around my little piece of heaven. There's a dealer about 40 miles away that is finally starting to make inroads into the Deere/Kubota monopoly around here. From what I read, their reputation is very...

I put off my first mowing until 30th March, just before we took off for a week camping at Lake of the Pines. We've been back about three days now and it's looking bad. I'll cut it this afternoon. I also mowed part of the pasture yesterday, not all of it, just the part up along the fence...

Make the most of your retirement vacation, it could be your last. My experience of retirement is that it has no vacations, time off, no week-ends, etc., etc. :whip::whip::whip: Only kidding. If I'd have known that retirement was this much fun, I'd have done it years ago. Congrats on the...

Maybe the distance between the impeller/vane and the housing(s) is too large.

Gary, that's not the prettiest thing I've ever seen. :wink::wink: I don't know a whole lot about small water pumps having never owned one but I am familiar with larger pumps and I'm hoping that the principle is the same. My understanding is that they are mini centrifugal pumps. Assuming that...

Yea zoomer but not everyone has a missile silo. Some of us have to settle for a little bit less. :yum::yum::yum:

Good. I'm tired of seeing all these guys build stuff with absolutely perfect welds. My welding sucks and I don't do enough of it to get any better but I do have a buddy who is the best welder I have ever seen. Everybody needs one of those. He just shakes his head in disbelief when he sees my...

Maybe if I took the Sat dish from the RV and grabbed one of the satellite boxes from the house ..... Nah, that's way too much work. It's just there so we can see one of the local stations and find out when it's clear to come out. Actually, you could live down there for quite a while. The...

That is one nice looking trailer and a sweet looking combo. I'm jealous now.

Well that's an interesting idea. At times I feel so dumb. Here am I, working on ideas to resist the blow, including filling it with a couple of hundred pounds of cement so that it can only be handled with the FEL, and all I have to do is construct something that would turn a full blooded...

I have no need for a small stock trailer but as Doc said, I didn't think that it would last long.

You betcha. Our House actually has a sunken basement surrounded by earth and 15 inches of the hardest darned reinforced concrete that I ever tried to drill in to. Down there is a/c ducting and natural gas heating, also 2 x 50 gallon gas water heaters. That's also where I store our camping...

I am retired and have been for a number of years but you're right, the last few days have been pretty rough. :) The forecast today was for showers during the day with thunderstorms this evening (they were wrong again) so I put off the spraying until later. I did run in to town and picked up...

You guys keep throwing those ideas around. I'm sitting her taking notes and I'm not to proud to steal anybodies good ideas. :)

The last few days the weather has been beautiful in East Texas so I thought that I better get it in gear and start doing the things I've been putting off for the last couple of months. Last fall and during the winter, as I stopped using various pieces of equipment, I cleaned them, lubed them...
