    Thunderbird Email Client Trouble

    Thunderbird has a built in feature to export the entire data set that contains all of your saved emails, all of your email contacts, and all of your settings. It will do a export with up to 2GB of saved data and save it to the location you select. That way, if you lose everything, from a failed...

    BT601backhoe to a BX22D

    It a BX backhoe is stored on a wheeled cart, and strapped & sticked so it doesn't sag over time, they take up very little space. They also can be moved around with one hand by one person on a reasonably smooth concrete floor. The pictured cart is from BXpanded. This is an old photo, now I use...

    BX 1880 VS Gr2120

    William1, go take another look at post #27 in this thread. You need to buy what works for you, with your situation at your property. Prior to acquiring my second Kubota BX machine, I ran several John Deere X 700 series machines. I picked up a used X 700 first. This unit had a carburetor...

    Even though there are a few more days of black powder/muzzleloader season, I am done for the year. My Girlfriend has been experiencing some back issues for over six months now, and she is scheduled for some fairly invasive spine surgery early in January. Many appointments in the next ten days or...

    After I got the wood heating pellets situation squared away at the house, I managed to get some more time out in the deer woods. On Saturday, December 6th I had an opportunity for doing some handgun deer hunting. That fancy heated/insulated portable blind shown much earlier in this thread? I was...

    BX 1880 VS Gr2120

    William1, You have to analyze & decide what works best for YOU for your personal situation. Your land, your grass, your obstacles in that grass. I have a pair of BX machines. That choice works great for ME. The most recently acquired BX 2370 is a dedicated mower with the 60" mid mount deck. It...

    We heat our home with wood pellets. I spent so much time doing hunting season preparations this year that I slacked off preparing for winter. We already had three tons of pellets at the house and needed two more tons for winter completion. Back about a week and a half ago, the local highway...

    Deer season, opening day for rifle season kicked off with a "BANG" on Saturday, November 15th. My adult son, and another hunter, a great friend, hunted with me on the hunting/recreational property. My son (age 43) successfully harvested his first deer ever, a nice big doe by 07:15AM. My friend...

    And you are correct. The trip planning, was to get on I 95 south of Richmond. Doing the trip in both directions as I did it, completely avoided the metro mess starting at Wilmington, Baltimore, DC & suburbs, and down to Richmond.

    Yeah, The Interstate highways are a double edged sword. Especially I 95 and I 81 near Harrisburg, PA. If I had taken the back roads between upstate NY and Charleston SC, I figured about four to five days in each direction. I only had about nine days total available for the trip blocked out on my...

    ^^^^ I had to look up your location. Warrenton, VA May into June this year, I did a 2500+ mile trip on my Harley Davidson Road King. Solo trip, just me. From upstate NY south on I 81, east on I 64 to the middle of VA, then an overnight in a hotel. Next day, east again on I 64 over near Richmond...

    The first visible/sticking snowfall at the recreational property this season. Here at the house, green grass. Rec. property is similar elevation and around 20 miles away. The white background really improves deer spotting! IMG_1927677606 by cee_Kamp 32ACP, on Flickr

    Several more pictures from later this afternoon. This one is a VERY nice example of upstate NY/small piece of woods whitetail deer. I hope I get another chance to see this one through a scope equipped with crosshairs! Has anyone noticed the location here? Look up the page a bit for the...

    Lots of rain & wind recently, so not many incoming deer pictures. This morning it was somewhat sunny, cooler and much less wind. Several pictures arrived here at home, and finally, it seems the rut has started. Bucks are on their feet during daylight hours, and cruising around for does willing...

    I need some help here! Metalworking people.

    Quite some time ago, most of the counties in upstate NY were shotgun only for big game. Why? Dumb a** regulations and politicians. Lead pumpkin ball one ounce lead slugs for deer and black bear. Smoothbore barrel. Effective range? 75 yards, maybe 85 yards. Then copper solids/sabots/rifled...
