    Ridiculous Temperatures and Wind Chills

    We all better get used to this. The polar front is now more unstable during winter, so wide temperature swings are occurring. Whether it has anything to do with climate change, I don't know. However, I do know one thing. The so called wind chill factor is somewhat inaccurate. A more detailed...

    Remember Ruby Ridge?

    Most of the FBI's rogue efforts were done when J. Edgar Hoover was Director. After that, the vast majority of questionable FBI actions started out as legitimate law enforcement. Sometimes, those actions turned out badly. Sugar happens.

    Electric wood splitters

    I have a Boss 7 ton. It very good for firewood length logs < 1 ft in diameter. It'll do bigger stuff if you're careful. It's quiet and easily moved around. It works with my EGO power station or an outlet.

    Knowledgeable mater growers

    Yep. https://www.gardeningchannel.com/growing-roma-tomatoes/ I'd go instead of Roma with San Marzano. It's prolific, easy to grow and makes great sauce.

    Daily Chuckle

    That's funny but it's completely wrong: https://fullfact.org/online/wind-turbines-energy/ A wind turbine generally produces 20 to 25 times the amount of energy that is needed to construct it

    Stock up on fuel

    I don't know what it's like where you live but around here none of the gas stations with diesel pumps have fuel. The only places that do are big truck stops.

    Is it true all Americans want higher gas prices?

    This thread is great. It makes fun of electric cars and high gas prices at the same time!

    LED light bulbs

    Our house is all LED also. My advice is to buy them from reputable company. There are a lot of poor quality LED lights on the market and despite claims that they last forever, the cheap ones will burn out in a year or two. Also get a smart speaker device like Amazon Echo or Google Home and buy...

    Service in NY. Adirondacks Near Brant lake?

    The Kubota website shows 3 other tractor repair sites, Pittsford VT, Middlebury VT and Salem, NY. I can't say much about any them, but if you have your own trailer and don't mind driving, Greenville Saw in Greenville, NY has been good to my B3200.

    Buzzards=STIHL HT 131

    I also have an older HT 131. Until this year, I only used itin its usual manner .... to cut low hanging branches on live trees. But we had a big windstorm this spring that took down a few big trees. A couple of the oaks were on the ground but the higher branches were wedged in nearby live trees...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I went to put my backhoe on after taking my landplane off. When I went to line up the BH to the back of the tractor, I couldn't move the stabilizers independently. Both levers moved in unison. After thinking about this for awhile, I consulted the gods of Youtube: It might be helpful to others.

    B8200 Backhoe and loader options

    I'm saying this somewhat tongue in cheek but tractorhouse.com has a B8200 with 618 hours, FEL and cab at auction. Unfortunately, it's in Quebec and you're in VA, but you could buy the one in PQ, ship it strip it and then resell it locally. Since the one you have is a gift, it might be plausible.
