A beef burgundy with barley pilaf and spinach.

Extended forecast looks okay. It’s about my normal time to change over. Geddy helped. Planning on a load of crusher run for the driveway shortly.

That stinks. Couple weeks ago my GMC 2500 got one. 🦌😡 Gotten a bunch over the years, but it’s been a LONG time. Left side mirror gone, nicked up both left doors and the box. Guessing pieces of the mirror did the paint/body damage. Not deep but very noticeable. At 6 months old and 3,900...

AFM Disabler? Or similar name if I remember right. I drove my 2017 truck in Manual mode and 5th gear. Took out the 4/8 cylinder issue. I think Tow/haul switch ON might do same thing? My current GMC 2500 HD with 6.6 doesn’t have that feature, but fuel efficiency isn’t stellar either…

They’re noisy. Almost as loud as peacocks. (Distant) Neighbor had them years ago. I would occasionally plow their driveway. Sometimes the snowplowing job got “fowled” up…..😳

Italian Baked Steak (Pizzaola?). Had a sirloin tip roast that should work well after thick-sliced into medallions and browned, then sauce put together in the pan with the drippings. I often bake or braise, but used slow cooker today. Be good with some imported pasta and salad.

As you indicated, I would be very concerned about the head gasket diagnosis. Heads/head gaskets can be a problem, but could also be other issues.

Curry marinated beef sirloin pieces and veggies from the grill. Quinoa with some other veggies, along with sautéed mushrooms.

That's an impressive hemlock log. Chains would have helped. Wasn't driving it, but lifting the log that high while skidding reduced front wheel traction. Front chains, or ballast in the loader bucket might have kept the front tires planted to get it out in one piece(?). Glad you got...

Site seems very slow today......2/22/2026 ~ 2pm Eastern US time. Wasn't on long - - just wanted to pass along in case there is something up.... Everything seems to be normal on my side. Did note there were almost 4,000 "Non-members" on the site at the time. Not sure how they tax the...

Let's back up a little...... Is this a rear-mounted snowblower, with two (2) hoses that connect to the rear of the tractor to operate the chute? You operate that chute by the using the lever you showed in your photo? The singular control for your rear remote (pictured by you) has nothing to...

I have a pair of chains for the fronts of my BX. Never been out of the box…..similar issue. I think about trying them each Fall, but so far the box stays under a toolbox with the rear chains that I NEED to use each winter. ❄

True. Suitcase weights may not fit on some tractor models with the loader on.

It's no help to the OP, but I've said many times that 2 feet of snow and -14 degrees F help prevent a lot of stuff.....gators, snakes, etc., etc. Guess I should add cholla cactus to the list. 🌵

We’ve had a few things from Amazon delivered by USPS recently. Each time the routing updates seemed to have the package going in circles a little before delivery.
