I’m making an educated guess as I’m not familiar with that Kubota model. Engines often are used in a variety of machines/applications. What might be in a tractor or excavator could also be used in a generator set, refrigeration unit or marine application. They sometimes have “extra” oil fill...

Still chilly enough I can leave them on the freezer for a while…….

Prep for Sunday dinner. Sprouts and mini taters will be oven roasted. Asparagus steamed. Wings will be appetizer and grilled, then in my own wing sauce. There’s several rib steaks hanging out on our freezer in the garage drying off a little. The steaks will be seasoned with a blend of...

Dan - that sounds really good! We’re still a ways away from herbs (snowing now), but always enjoy taking stuff right from the planter box to the stove. We have cut our pasta intake lately (carbs), but I can work some nice sauces into a variety of things. I enjoy making pasta, would love to...

Dan - that looks great. I'll have to look up the Vodka Sauce brand. In addition to the cream, try adding a little good Parmesan, Romano, or similar cheese you like. I would keep a nice cheese sauce, often with heavy cream and a parm or Romano on hand. I'd temper the tomato sauce with it...

All larches/tamaracks are deciduous conifers. Eastern US plantations from Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) from the Depression through post-WWII era were often Japanese species, but very similar to the Eastern Larch (if I remember correctly). All of them are popular timber species for a...

I was in no mood for adventures or jocularity.

Continued on driveway project. Cut a couple slits through the driveway with the tractor.

Peeling shrimp ticks me off......🦐🦐🦐🦐 Love shrimp, and should feel fortunate that we can buy it. Flashbacks to my Restaurant days.......cooks on previous shifts would "short" their successors when they were too darned lazy to keep the prep up..... 🤬 I would often have to dedicate valuable...

I used to get my first woodchuck (ground hog south of us) in the third week of March. Bagged a lot of them by May 15, when the grass was tall enough to hide them.

I have a Porter Cable cordless 16 Gauge Nail Gun. Battery is fine, but the charger is not-so-much according to my meter. :oops: Porter Cable Chargers are very expensive. That ticks me off. 🤬 PS - For $20, I was able to find a replacement charger. Good to go....:)

I drive rural 2-lane roads almost exclusively. This morning a tractor, minus trailer was moving somewhat slowly ahead. I was 2-3 vehicles behind the tractor. Little friggin' import SUV was right on my bumper.... Swayed into other lane and onto the shoulder as if to pass..... At a red light...

Beautiful day yesterday to start working on 15 yards of crusher run for the driveway. Great part of being retired, I can take a couple days to distribute as needed. I always will go back with the boxblade over a few weeks to adjust as necessary. Geddy helped…….of course….😉 Neighbor...

Deleted. Duplicate.

Many years ago a new co-worker brought something to my desk with a QR code on it. I asked him what that was - he said you scan it with your phone….. I picked up the handset from my desk phone and held it over the QR code…..the coworker stared at me wondered if I was that stupid……😳 😳😳 I did it...
