Put a camera pointing at it and you will know. Probably a squirrel looking for his burried nuts and finding a darn tater. Try Yukon golds someday. They're our favorites.

Mine has the lock but even if it didn't, my rear remote doesn't float when centered. Guess you don't need a lock but do need a remote that has a float position for that to work.

Here's the one that we make by the gallon and love. A friend's grandmother gave me the recipe before she passed on because I loved it and and she never gave it to anyone else so I shared it so it didn't die when I do. She developed it during the depression for a Jewish family she was a maid for...

Some wild caught salmon with air fryer steak fries tonight.

Most around me sell soil, gravel, mulch, and compost by the cubic yard. Home centers sell bags either by weight or cubic ft.

Heck with cooking when you can get a cooked chicken at Costco for $4.99. It was very god 😋.

Time to replace the stairs with an elevator. Your gonna need it eventually just to get stock down and builds up as you get older. Probably cost about the same as all that lumber did to build the protection devices for a Redneck elevator . If someone complains about you running a machine shop...

I put a Michigan on my bx years ago and it fit well. Nice ride when mowing. I just put one of the Vevor seats on my Chinese mini excavator to get more legroom and add a safety interlock operator presence switch. It's nice and has many different mounting holes. Comfortable but not as rugged and...

Don't they sell a 7 degree to 10 degree tapered bushing for repairing tie rods. I know a friend of mine used one years ago where he just ran a standard 10 degree tie rod reamer in the spindle and the bushing locked on place when the tie rod nut was torqued through the 7 deg inner taper to fix a...

I needed a new burner email account to verify who is the worst spam generator site after you setup an account, so I recently signed up for AOL 😁. I didn't even realize they're still around. They were my first online service after bulletin boards in the 80s. YOU GOT MAIL plays in my head every...

Time for a CNC lathe 🤔.

It's not just software updates. Quite a bit seems to be pandemic quality and cost cutting catching up. Supply chains offshore with engineers thousands of miles away doesn't help either. Sure, it's only 5 to 10 percent of production affected but not fun if you get unlucky. Takes 6 weeks to even...

All we can afford anymore is veggies. Beef prices are crazy 🤑. Today's lunch. Baked potatoes on the Kettle with fresh picked chives and last years veggies from the freezer. That rabbit running around our yard was making me hungry 🐇 and then was stolen from the sky 🦅.
