Growers that worked for Bo Pilgrim told my 6 weeks was the target to be ready for slaughter. At 8 weeks Pilgrim broke even and grower make very little profit. Chickens i've raised didn't have all their feathers at 6 weeks.

Sooner or later everyone has a similar problem. 50% of time the problem is with one of the safety switches. The options are. (A) Have dealer come haul tractor to shop. (B) Use a multimeter to systematically test to isolate problem. (C) Ask folks on line to take guesses then follow up on each...

That's what my buddies said.

Remarks about Wal-Mart's remanufactured batteries likely originate out of hatred for Wal-Mart .

After a successful fishing trip we wanted to cook a few. Friend had his electric knife in the grub box but there was no electricity to run it. Noone had experience nor suitable knife to do it old school. I said we can just plug into the block heater on my F-250. Snickers and guffaws...

Possibly bad bearing? Might raise it off ground and set on cribbing then listen at various points with stethoscope, or poor mans wood handle screwdriver. While it's in the air check for warped wheel or poorly seated tire bead.

After reading about the guy who installs a stop valve in line when fixing leaks an idea came to mind. Dig to line midway (75') and install a stop. If it still leaks install another stop midway of first stop and where line begins. 3 and possibly 2 stops could narrow it down to digging up 20'...

If I was planning to go to the beach I wouldn't let news people influence it much.
