    3-point hitch basics

    Example. When going from flat ground to a slight side incline if my finishing deck is really loose it will slide sideways and give you a real surprise as the tail wags the dog. Too tight and I get metal on metal wear at the connections.

    Speaking of Phones

    Smart phones were an asset in my last job. Instant communication and pictures with vendors across the country. A big help to shorten tool down time. Critical on the run process changes could be sent in real time. For me, I carried a company cell phone 24/7. If it rang on the off shift I got...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    No farm, no snow and no job ! I walked past the tractor and jumped on the motorcycle. 2 hours later, totally lost on the far side of the Catskills.

    What not to do....

    There are friends and family that I would loan anything to. There are others that I would not give the time of day. I have never gotten anything back in worse condition than when it was loaned. I suspect that the brother-in-law would return the tractor in better shape than when he got it. Kind...

    Where is my lost stuff?

    There is a psychic phone number you can call. Give them your credit card number and they will tell you where to look. I have a draw full of keys that I have no idea what they go to. I'll mail them to you for a nice donation to my venmo account.

    Advantage of being suddenly single.

    Took the motorcycle to Walmart. About 20 miles from the house. The ride home via Vermont was close to 140 miles with a coffee stop. Got home and did not get bitched at !! Perhaps 2024 will get easier than 2023. I may or not may not get up early to plow the snow that may or may not get...

    Learn CPR today...

    My volley FD was very progressive when dealing with bystander CPR. We always gave a card to the bystander for a free PTSD session by a local therapist. Word got out and we always had full classes for CPR / first aid training. I'd like to think it was well spent tax payer money. Instructors...

    Some things in life very hard to understand

    Even the professionals have a hard time finding reasons and actions to help control a mental illness. We have been dealing with this in the home. The psychiatrist (MD) has had the kid on several different combinations of drugs until we hit on what appears to be working. This took almost a year...

    Some things in life very hard to understand

    So sorry to hear that. The stigma of mental health keeps so many from seeking assistance.

    Rural water pressure from well and how to improve

    I found the thread interesting. As for me. There is a 650 foot shaft in my yard with an expensive and almost new pump in it. When something goes wrong I break out the checkbook and call the guys with the big drill rig.

    Can Not blame the hired help

    Went out to plow some snow. Pulled the tarp off the tractor and I see two red indicator lights are on. Oh, no, not a good sign. I really wish I could blame the hired help for working on the plow valve and not turning off the key ! But, I do not have any hired help !!! Oh well, put on a charger...
