    Smell Mystery

    Im glad you mention skunks because that is another smell that just seems to carry in the air a lot more in winter here in florida. I just wonder if he's actually smelling propane or something else.

    Smell Mystery

    Yea I'm curious if this would actually be propane, or just your septic tanks vent stack. Have you tried climbing up and taking a little sniff at the vent stack just to see if it smells the same to you? Foggy mornings will hold smells like this. I have always noticed here in Florida, in the...

    Let'm die!

    This is why threads like this end up locked, and discussions of certain topics blocked. I've responded here and tried to follow the thread some. So many of the posts here on this topic are quite honestly just so low brow, so driven by politics, conspiracy theory garbage, and complete ignorance...

    Best implement for 1/2 acre plot

    rg006, I have some thoughts that I feel may be useful to you, because you are in the exact same boat I was in a year ago. I also use the exact same tractor, an L2501. I also now own both a disc harrow and a rototiller and have had experience using both in my garden, and in my initial application...

    L2501DT Hydraulic Level Dropped Quickly

    Was going to say 100% was overfilled, but it seems OP has already corrected the issue. One thing I have noticed with my L2501 is when you check the hydro oil you need to do it in the exact same place everytime, with all the hydraulics pulled in exatctly the same, 3 Pt all the way down, etc...

    VOIP?

    We use VOIP for all of our phones in the government office I work in. We just upgraded to this phone system this year. The phones themselves are really nice, enterprise level phones with wireless, blue tooth handsets. The VOIP works well but we have noticed one little issue. Occasionally there...

    Giving away garden veggies

    My garden spot right now is about 50 x 170 or so. I have room to expand it if I want to but this is a lot of room so far. Half of my garden was dedicated to nothing but the watermelons. I had 18 crimson sweet, and 6 jubilee. I planted them at a 10-12 foot spacing on mounds. By the time they were...

    Let'm die!

    I spoke previously about the whole mandate causing nurses to quit. It is going to be a lot of nurses. It is not isolated. This also just broke recently, further highlighting the issue...

    Which to buy L2501 or L3301

    2 years on my L2501 now. The differences in the 2501 and 3301 are very little. If I was going to upgrade above the L2501 I would go to the L3901, which is a more substantial jump. The one thing to keep in mind however is what are you actually getting between these 3 models. They have the same...

    Giving away garden veggies

    Nice to hear about your garden harvest forky. I have the same tractor as you, the good ol L2501. One of its many uses for me is to also grow a garden, and I also just acquired a new tiller for it. I didnt get the tiller in time for this years garden, but I cant wait to use it next year. Ive been...

    Let'm die!

    Sheepfarmer, its funny you mention that article about the over medicating dementia patients. I just read that same article this morning. I forwarded it to my wife as well in case she misses it because she will enjoy reading that. The article was very good and does highlight a problem. The only...

    Let'm die!

    This reply is a very rambling sorry for that, but I try to go over the issue in a way that gives some example into the problems of the industry from my perspective. The regulations in long term care facilities is very strict, and it comes from all places. Some are state regulations, many are...

    Let'm die!

    Yes, that is the same story in all of these facilities. My wife says that the system is structured on staff requirements from the 70's and 80's but that the workload as increased exponentially. My wife, as DON, can not simply add an extra nurse on each floor for example, which would help...

    Let'm die!

    You may be right in that not every single nurse has dealt directly with a covid patient, but I can tell you that covid, and the whole response to covid, has impacted the entire medical profession from the top right down to the bottom. Many hospitals are of course being slammed as they are...

    Let'm die!

    It is the former, 100%. Agencies are killing nursing facilities. They pay great, recruit like crazy, but then the nurses from them have no accountability to the places they work. They are also notorious for no call no shows, again, I assume, because there is no accountability to the facility...

    Let'm die!

    Wow D2cat, sorry to hear about your wife. Im sure this has been a struggle for the both of you. As I read your post and the description of her symptoms one condition did come to mind. May not be this at all, and I'm sure a dermatologist would have considered it, but just in case, because it is...

    Accidentally put 85w-140 in my rck48-15bx (48" Mower) gear case.

    I recently purchased a rototiller, which as you of course know has a similar gear box as a mower, driven by PTO. My rototiller actually calls for 85w 140 in the manual, in both the pto gear box and the larger side gear box. I think you will be fine. The oil is a little "thicker" than 80w 90, and...

    Let'm die!

    Well the mandate from the president has been announced. One downside to this mandate is it is about to stress the healthcare field even more. My wife has had several of her best nurses, some of them at the facility over 10 years now, who had already come to her and say if they mandated...

    Let'm die!

    Yea, when you have numerous patients intubated, on vents, and oxygen, you are dealing with a large body of high acuity patients. This puts a high demand on the nursing staff. Before my wife went more into long term/ rehab care she was a nurse in the cardiac ICU, where she often had high acuity...

    Let'm die!

    D2 You make a good point here, and thanks for sharing this story. This highlights part of what I meant in my previous post by a media that just goes looking for a story to sensationalize. The media is 100% hyping covid. They have been since it started. However, you do also have some hospitals...
