    Workout time

    Back from vacation with the wife and decided the post travel day was a good dead tree dropping day. Got one good size and three smaller ones on the ground and cut in to rounds. Will break out the orange Friday and bring them down to the wood yard to split. I have one large one that is dead and...

    Trailer hitch ball stem won't go into drawbar hole.

    May not be right but is sure is easy. I use the Pats Quick hitch to pick and move my trailer. One side of the lower 3pt hitch in to the trailer hits, lift and go. Lower to drop when you are done. I’ve used the HF quick hitch in the past as well. No raising or lowering that trailer jack

    Read your phone while walking?

    People don’t use them on the line because if you are caught you lose PTO and then your job. We have tons of video surveillance of the lines and overall plant. We had a couple guys get written up for not waiting on a contractor and using a step ladder without training. Big sheets of sharp glass...

    Read your phone while walking?

    We just banned using mobile devices and walking at work. You can have them in you but you need to be in a Green zone and stand up against the wall if you are using your mobile or any computing device. Way too much stuff that can hurt or kill you. If you want to pay the stupid tax, do it...

    Blue tooth ear buds. Which are best over all for noise reduction, music, and noise cancelling.

    Not that I’m aware of. They do make an OTE model that is Bluetooth. Lucky for me I upgraded my tablet well before my flight. No issues with the Apple adapter and the headphones but my tablet is Samsung. Way too many movies on my micro sd card to convert to Apple. The Bose ITE are as good as my...

    Blue tooth ear buds. Which are best over all for noise reduction, music, and noise cancelling.

    I tried the isotunes but they were DOA. Their support frankly sucked and did little to help so I returned them. Not impressed at all. I still have my over the ear Bose and used them up till I replaced my tablet and no bayonet jack. I have a pair of Sony noise cancelling OTE. But nowhere as good...

    Blue tooth ear buds. Which are best over all for noise reduction, music, and noise cancelling.

    I went from over the ear corded Bose with noise cancellation to the Bose ear buds with noise cancellation. Excellent product. They fit well and cancel the noise great. My big concern was with comfort on long use. Did a 3 hr 45 min flight Saturday with no issues. Happy with my selection

    Polaris work

    Yes it’s an 800. 2006 model. The wrap does great cutting down the heat. Metal was in good shape when I wrapped it and she is barn kept and rarely gets wet. I rode it for a half hour and sat on it idling for another 15 min back on the trails. Usually I’m riding with my right leg up on the front...

    Meat Birds

    Final numbers for birds. Cost came out to $2.25/lb. Spent the better part of today packaging and freezing them. This time they gave everything back. We asked to keep bone and skin on breasts so they ended up giving us the backbones. Lots of meat on those and great for making soup stock...

    Fireplace cleaning time

    Broke out the chimney sweep kit and got the flue cleaned out. Ready for the first fire. We burned it 5 days a week last winter. A bit of buildup but not too bad. Took around 20 min with prep and cleanup

    Birthday Gift

    And you can build them in any color you want. HF red will go well with his grey side by side. Maybe I should start taking orders……..

    Birthday Gift

    Was tasked by the boss to come up with a birthday gift for her brother. Not sure this is what she had in mind but it was a fun little project. $29 for the horns and compressor and $52 for the HF drill. Took me about 1.5 hrs to disassemble, make new power leads, sand down the inside of the...

    Meat Birds

    Plus membership, the plus 1hr each way to get there for me. We do Sams. Similar pricing but an hour away. We go maybe once every couple months. Doing the math, my birds will butcher out around 9 lbs each so one of mine is 3.6 Costco birds. And that would cost you $17.96 or $19.96 since you...
