My mother always said I was an accident looking for a place to happen and I’d be lucky to survive to see age 20. She wasn’t wrong, because I was very lucky on many occasions. Change that photo and your story into 3 photos showing the evolution of fun. Well, make it 4 to include the results of...

I have a HaulMaster QH, and 5 different implements for the 3-point system that all claim to be QH ready. News flash: no two of them are actually anything alike, meaning on 2 in 5 (the box blade and the chipper with some finagling on swap) actually fit the QH when I got it, That also required...

Looks like some threw away a perfectly good gate (right above the tractor). That pile says a lot about the culture of our country and the reliability of appliances. Bet my refrigerator is older than most of the appliances in that pile. If it ain’t broke, I sure as heck ain’t buying a new one so...

I ALWAYS got the last two words in with my folks. “Yes (no) sir or Yes(no) ma’am”. The only variants were who I was answering and whether the answer was affirmative or negative.

I pride myself on my reading comprehension, and have deciphered some atrocious spelling and grammar many times. But no matter how many times I read that, I’m still a lost by ball in high weeds on that one.

The radio base is about the size of the foundation that the idiot previous owner put in for a basketball goal next to the driveway. I’ll give you three guesses where the main water line was, and the first two don’t count. I won’t go into detail about how I found the line while jackhammering the...

I really dread the day that happens to me. I have ballast in all 4 tires (courtesy of the dealer) and oversized tires to boot. That’s gonna make a mess if I lose the rim seal.

Grew up on venison. If we couldn't catch it, kill it, or steal it, we didn't have it. I dressed more than one by myself. One of the worst conflicts I ever had with my stepfather was knowing how much venison was in the freezer (because I butchered and wrapped every piece of it) and deciding I...

Well, maybe it ain't as big as it was, but there's still a lotta ouchy in that big glowing pile. That's gonna be hot for days. Keep an eye on it.

There's just a whole lot happening on that sign ......

If only we could pay our taxes with farts. If ya gonna tax something, the tax should be paid with that something, right?

I worked for and with many very well educated idiots in the nearly 50 years of field service as an engineer. It’s unbelievable how many MS degree holders couldn’t engineer their way out of a wet paper bag.

When I was a kid, our local county extension agent would advise on the mix of diesel and ammonium nitrate fertilizer based on how high you wanted a stump to fly and how big the stump was. Not so much anymore and they will likely just give your name to the ATF and FBI. I can remember loading 30...

That dude's got some serious pipes.

Dat's a big ol' stump! I dug one out like that by hand in my mid 40's. Me and an F-150 got 'er dun! I won't lie, though. A small tornado had blown it over May 1, 2005. I just finished the job. It took me nearly 6 months to clean up all the trees that little tornado put down, but it was...

Beavers are considered pests/vermin in some areas. At one time, they had no bag limit and no scheduled season for hunting in Alabama. Not sure if that's still the case now. This was because of the amount of timber they destroy in lower lying areas, particularly the river deltas. A fur dealer...

Is any DIY structure build EVER finished? Make the thread, and link it in here. I'd like to watch too. I built my own shed from the ground up. I did everything except pour and finish the concrete, but I did do the forms for that, too. I went with a 24x35 (36 roof ridge), and found out real...

Hooked up to the little yard trailer (5x7) to haul off the leaves I picked up with the Husqvarna rider. Four trailer loads, despite removing 7 trees this summer. But no water oaks means the leaf season will be over a lot sooner. I use a bagger on the little Husky and dump the baskets in the...

Is that pine that you’re bucking? I learned pine wasn’t very good firewood a long time ago but could be that was opinion more than fact. A grapple is pretty good for that purpose as well.

That would be the relatively low flow rate on the LX models for the FEL. The solution a buddy of mine came up with was to use the rear remote to power the head on his Grand L. He also added a cylinder to help position the point of the auger with the 3rd Function. Really cool setup. Probably a...
