    Daily Chuckle

    A lot of people sure got their panties in a twist over, wait for it, a beer ad? Sounds like a serious case of fragile sensibilities.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I can put on enough clothing the keep warm in here in the frozen north, but I can't take off enough clothes the stay cool in the heat down south. At least not enough to be able to go out in public, and I get REALLY cranky in hot weather. I'll take the snow any day.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Spent a couple of hours mowing the yard with the BX for the first time in over a month. It's been so dry here, all that was growing was the buck horn and crab grass. Also spent another hour and a half trimming a lot of branches on the bottoms of a bunch of trees that I mow around and were...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    About 1:00PM the power went out, just as I had started sweeping as my daughter and family are arriving from Florida this evening. Waited about an hour, the neighbor behind me called and said the utility company's help line said it would be at least 4:30PM until power would be restored. Drat...

    BX25 won't crank all of sudden

    If the starter drive is engaging the flywheel, it's not the battery. BTDT. It's probably the contacts in the solenoid, as I had the exact same symptoms as you describe. I pulled the starter, disassembled the solenoid, and there was a little copper tit on one of the contacts that wouldn't let the...

    Do you all remember your first concert

    Uriah Heep at the Notre Dame ACC on March 28, 1976. The arena was so filled with pot smoke when the lights came up it was a green cloud. I had to threaten a couple of tokers sitting in front of us with bodily harm if they didn't put the weed out, as it was making me nauseous, and I didn't want...

    Drive in movie theater

    We had two close by a long time ago, the Midway Drive-In between Goshen and Elkhart on US33, and the Starlite on old US20 at the west county line road. The Midway was torn down and a Sam's Club went in, the Starlite became a Wal-Mart. Lots of memories of times at the Midway! My old '59 Buick...

    JD 54" blade on my BX2230

    Since my JD430 has been relegated to snow blower duty, I decided that I would make an adapter to mount the blade on my BX. The blade is almost like new, has only been used three times, twice for snow and once to level a couple loads of base material for my shop drive. That was in '84 and the...

    A rare sight

    Now you know why you don't stand under a tree during a storm. Years ago I had lightning hit a large poplar tree in the front yard, blew a six inch wide strip of bark off the trunk from the ground up about 30 feet. Five years later, power went out in the house, long story short, the buried power...
