Sawyer Rob says no one brand is best in all sizes, but he seems to favor Allis/Agco/Deutz. I grew up favoring Allis-Chalmers; like the orange tractors, from G to 220.

I have caught up on the 65 pages I was behind. Tulip poplar is not a poplar. Can't believe no one has said that yet.

People were talking about coffee. I don't drink coffee, but my wife has family members who grow a bit in Guatemala, where we were to celebrate our 40th anniversary. Had a good time, but it was too short.

Been out of the country for three weeks; looks like I am 65 pages behind. Is this some kind of record?

I usually find his posts to be entertaining. I know nothing about multi quote, barely ever try to quote anything myself. I find it awkward on my phone and am hardly ever on the computer. But then, I’m from the twentieth century.

One meaning of “nevada” being “snow covered”, looks like you are already there.

Just sayin’

June 18, 2019. I think we missed the boat on the float plane. (June 18 is my birthday).

I think the “too fast for conditions” (Illinois, where I grew up) and “following too closely” (Georgia, where I live now) are usually used to cite someone when they have hit another car or something. You can hardly argue with it when the definition of following too closely is rear ending the...

On getting older (been there, done that), aches and pains (got a few; too few to mention, but I will mention them) and things that don’t work like they used to. I noticed that my metabolism seemed to slow down, i.e., weight wanted to accumulate, at about 40, 50 and 62 1/2. There were also...

I first saw this type of device in the “milling and sawmills” forum on this site. It was by “BobL.” Find a post by BobL and there is probably a link in his signature line to it. “Chainsaw milling 101” used to be a sticky at the top (but doesn’t seem to be anymore). BobL started it and was a...

My dad and a barn full of milk cows never liked time changes either.

I will share this information about mangos. I just recently learned my sister is ‘allergic’ to mangos. Skin lotion with mango in it causes rash, itching and other symptoms. She declined to try the hibiscus-mango smoothie. I turned it down because my chemo makes me sensitive to cold.

Chainsaw chaps are good protection from flying sticks and stones and poison ivy if you are weed whacking and it’s too hot to dress fully.

Using a bottle jack on its side has always worked for me as long as the pump side is down. Obviously, my sample size is quite small.

Different church, different culture, different language, etc.

But good advice and what actually works sometimes can be quite different. I found my wife in a different church, different country, much younger. Fourty happy years ago.

I remember a movie or TV show, I think it had something to do with Alaska, where one guy was complaining about not being able to find a good woman. A friend asked where he was looking. It turned out to be in bars. The friend asked if he was looking for a drinking partner or a life partner...

Since I couldn't find a picture of the grille/smoker, i went out and took one. Not in use, and no, that is not a steel drum on top. That one burned out, so I stuck this together from scrounged material. Some from a shelf and some from a van partition and maybe some other material, other...

This is not the grille, but it's close, about 10 feet away. This was just a couple months ago when my son was in from Seattle. He was on his way to Buffalo to join his then girlfriend (now wife) and her family for a couple days before Christmas. Snowed in for a week. Life's too short not...
