    Computer Geeks - - Home Computer Anti-virus, security, etc.

    I quit using aftermarket anti-virus products years ago, and now use Microsoft Security Essentials, it's free, and have never had a problem. It updates itself automatically, and doesn't slow the system down like some do, especially at boot-up, when many do a complete system scan and slow the...

    Diesel Fuel Caddy

    I hate using 5 or 6 gallon diesle fuel containers to fuel my JD and Kubota tractors, so I've been looking for a 15 or 20 gallons barrel to make a portable fuel caddy. I mentioned it to a friend, and he gave me a plastic 15 gallon barrel that he had no use for. I rinsed it put with water, then...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Used the BX to clean up the area around the new water well I had installed last week. I hauled 6 or 7 bucket loads of excess fill away to a low spot by the driveway to my shop, and used some to fill in the ruts in the yard left by the 70,000 lb drill rig and the excavator that dug a trench from...

    As a practicing atheist, I refute your argument that morals are based on good or evil, that's nonsense. Morals are what allows a culture to adopt a set of rules that mutually benefit the whole and the individuals. There is no such thing as evil, it's a crutch made up by religions to scare the...

    We've priced ourselves out of business

    The 1970 Nova I have been restoring for the last few years needed a lot of new body panels and pieces, I found a couple of NOS pieces, the rest I bought from AMD, who has them made in Taiwan. The body man said they fir pretty well, no real problems. I had previously bought a pair of made in...

    How often do you change oil?

    On my BX. every 50 hours, which is about a year. I only use it for misc. chores and yard mowing, which I only do about 10-12 times a year. Occasionally it gets used for snow removal if it's wet sloppy snow the JD blower doesn't like.

    Photo shoot anything lately? Random Photo Thread

    Shot this a few tears ago, one Sunday morning when I came out to the kitchen. I believe it's an American Kestrel, with some snow on his head.
