    Making post plumb--Helping neighbor

    Yes its at least 4 inches. The gate is on the ground at the "moving" end. Not sure how it got that way. I was thinking about using my auger to dig around it, move it to plumb and concrete the enlarged area. Do you think that would work?

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    My neighbor's husband died unexpectedly a few weeks ago. She asked me to fix her non-functioning gate to feel safer. The post is about 5-6 inches from plumb. Anyone with tips tricks on how to get it straight please go to "projects" and help me out.

    Making post plumb--Helping neighbor

    Guys. I need some help. My neighbor's husband died unexpectedly a couple of weeks ago. They had a non-functioning gate that she now wants to function. The metal post is really in the ground but not plumb--probably 5-6 inches off. I removed the gate with the FEL and then I tried to...

    With all due respect I don't think you understand how corporations actually work. 1. A corporation cannot vote. employees of said corp can. 2. A corporation pays its employees (whether the corp. pays taxes or not). 3. Those employees (who CAN vote) then pay taxes on the income/money they got...

    Interesting take. Im fairly certain the millionaires know who the names of the folks they contributed to or against. Maybe not?

    Absolutely. If congress doesn't want 'loopholes' (another word for a legal deduction--just sounds sinister, which the media likes) fix them. There is nothing wrong with doing your taxes and taking advantage of all deductions and 'loopholes'.

    1. What is the problem with taking advantage of deductions and loopholes? Do you refuse to take the deductions you are entitled to take when you do your taxes? 2. A corporation cannot vote. Individuals within it can. Corporations are their own entity in the law--that's why they are sued...

    Good thing that doesn't happen now!!!! Oh wait, the pipeline union workers voted themselves right out a jobs by doing what the union said. In fact FIRST thing Biden did was make them unemployed.

    That's a good point. I guess at some level everyone is paying taxes. My thought process was geared toward income tax, but I can see issues with that also--spouse not working, kid in college.

    If you don't know who the current P/VP are you should not be allowed to vote. I also agree that if you are not paying taxes you should have no say in who runs the country.

    Head Scratcher??

    My left rear tire is giving me fits. Every couple of months it will lose air for several days (sometimes just a day) and then just stop. Example: Last week it was low so I filled it, next day low again (and I mean visibly low), this went on for about 4 days. Filled it on the 4th day and now...

    A question for the gray beards

    We all feel this way sometimes. Usually it passes--sometimes it doesn't. If it doesn't your decision will be made for you. In 2020 both our children were off in college. Covid hit and the schools were shut down so both returned home. It was uncomfortable, having four folks used to 'doing...

    California does it again!

    I don't think you are understanding the issue. If my trucks are legal in 49 states and not in california the problem is NOT the other 49 states. This whole 'the sky is falling" is getting old and tiresome. People are not the cause of this warming. 1. According to the same set of...

    Woodstock in 1973

    The only thing I can think of (imagine) is the smell. No showers, hot, muggy, no bathrooms... and hippies are not the cleanest of Americans--I'm just saying. I can't imagine.
