You got another, "Been there, done that" from me. In my case it was the bush hog I tripped over. I let the three dogs out late at night. They ran round the side of the house and all hell broke loose. I took off to see what was happening and run round the back of the tractor. I ran round...

That's why we stay down here. Not many people head north for the winter. :) Just to let you know, it was freezing all last week in East Texas. This week it's in the 70's. I look a bit silly working outside in thermal underwear, T-shirt and shorts. You never know when it's going to turn...

Dude, that is really cool!!!!! :wow::wow::wow:

Man, those are pretty cool. Congrats.

Are you and I married to the same woman? :)

Marshall, you're a nice guy. You even replaced 2 burst bales before he left. Me ... I must be a real a**hole. I reckon that my responsibility ended when I had the trailer loaded. I wouldn't have replaced the two burst bales, I would have charged the trucking company for materials and labor to...

How long are you gone for? Many years ago I spent a couple of weeks in Australia, mainly on the west coast. I'd love to go back again. 2 weeks isn't enough time to see a country that large. I loved the place and I loved the people ... and the beer wasn't bad either. :) New Zealand is the...

Bordercollie, don't get me wrong, now that I've got it I'm not going to get rid of it any time soon. :clap: I got it because I was getting older but really I was just tired of being beaten to death walking behind that Troybuilt. I haven't used it too much at the house the last couple of years...

I'll sleep easier knowing that we both use the same first line of defense. I have 3 lab crosses and nothing or nobody can come within 50 yards of the house without me knowing it. Also, like yours, that's where their responsibility ends. "Lick them so hard that they'll die of chapped skin"...

BC, I don't have any experience with either of the brands that you mention. I've never even heard of the Simca Phoenix. I run a smaller 52" Kuhn behind the little 24hp Kubota and it's worked flawlessly over the years. It's one of those implements that you use a lot when you first get it in...

Thanks for the update. I must have missed it first time around. I'm glad that you and your family have turned the corner. Good times ahead!!!!

I think that just about covers it. :) Welcome. Stick around. I think you'll be useful here. :wave::wave:

For as little as you put in, I think that it'll be OK. Don't feel bad about it. I seized up a leaf blower because I forgot to mix in the 2-stroke oil. My S-I-L has the record though. While talking on her cell phone, she put diesel into the radiator instead of the fuel tank on the ol' JD...

John, sorry to hear about your wife's condition. Alzheimer's is a terrible disease, not quite so much for the person who has it but for the loved ones who look after them. My wife took care of her uncle and and looked after his business affairs for almost 8-years. As for me, I'm a retired...

That'll work. Good one. :respect:

Snow isn't usually real big on the agenda down in East Texas although we did get an inch or so last week-end but, as far as being prepared and equiped, I do try to be ready for most short term emergencies.

I didn't know you could get aircraft tires for your tractor. Those things are bullet proof ... literally. I saw a news report some time ago where the cops tried to shoot out the tires of a highjacked plane and couldn't do it. Aren't aircraft tires essentially slicks though? Put me down as a...

That wasn't what I expected at all. Funny, funny, funny.

I'm glad that they worked for you. Some adoption agencies and shelters will veto your application if you say that you use shock collars but I think that they are a great training device. I've always used them, or I should say, my dogs have always worn them. I bring out the collars, rattle the...

That is really cool but I agree with bczoom, someone has waaayyy too much time on their hands.
