I'd divide it a little differently, but don't want to get into politics. Let's just say everything South of Augusta is a bit different...

You guys suck. Sadly, I could move my stash in a morning. In a pickup. A half-ton...:cry:

Absolutely NOT! The only thing I hate worse than heat is heat with humidity. Got to 96° here yesterday, and I can spit in the Atlantic Ocean with a following breeze. Grandson said it got to 112° where he lives inland a hundred miles. Fut dat. Marginally cooler today, but grocery shopping...

#2 on the list. #1 is that I married a Maine girl who already owned a house and a chunk of land...

During my time in Uncle Sam's Canoe Club, I spent time in Virginia, the Philippines, Florida and South Carolina. I don't DO heat and humidity, that's one reason I live in Maine!

Googled some pictures and that it for sure. Thanks!

Not sure. It was likely from the 20's or 30's, bolt action. Load a round in the chamber, close the bolt, pull a knob on the back of the bolt to cock it, pull and turn to put it on safe.

We may be related...:D I got my very own Winchester Model 12 Featherweight in 20 gauge at around 12 or 13, and an "O3-A3" (Springfield MilSurp 1903, variant A3) in .30-06 when I was old enough to hunt on my own. Of course, they reverted back to Dad when I left for the Navy... Had access to...

Ya know how some married couples have an "Our Song" from their dating days? Well, the Mrs. and I do, it's "Bony Fingers" and it was on one of those table-side juke boxes in a diner! A real, old-fashioned, railroad car-styled diner! Long gone, mores the pity... The only ones I don't have...

I'd have teared up myself. I was never closer to Viet Nam than Japan and I never did anything even remotely dangerous in my Navy career. Pretty much everything I did or worked with has been obsolete for decades so I can safely say nobody gives a rat about my Navy experiences. As for a "final...

I'm 74, fat, bald, a great-grandfather and been married over 50 years. I ceased giving a rat's rump what anybody else thinks some time ago. It's very freeing.

Daughter keeps a pool for when her grandkids visit. Bought a bigger pool so needed a new pad. That's grandson Casey holding the rake up and great-grandson Jayden manning the laser level. My job consisted of riding around in the Cabota with the box blade getting the base some where close and...

Hispanic gent (citizen...) has a mowing business, plus general handyman service. I've kept his mowers running for several years. Contacted me a couple of days ago, wanted to know if I was interested in a job helping him turn an old garden back into mowable lawn. Paid, of course. Sure, why...

My last job before I retired was working in-store sales at a lumber yard slash hardware. A customer brought in a used gallon can of paint and wanted to know if I'd shake it up for him. Being a slow day, and he being a good customer, I complied. Should've inspected the can first. Bottom...

And social media, cell phones and Anime cartoons! (Get off my lawn...) :p:D

All good advice. Lincoln, Miller and Hobart are the usual suspects for the Home Shop welder. I'll just add one thing: MIG welding can be deceptive. It's relatively easy to lay down a bead that looks great but has about as much strength as a wad of bubblegum. Unless you foresee doing a lot...

You been spying on me? :rolleyes::D

Thank you very little ;):p:D I've had a hydraulic top link for years and love it, especially with the box blade. I've wanted to put a tilt cylinder on my B2650 for a while now, even tried building my own. Fail...can't get a big enough cylinder short enough with homemade brackets. None of the...

^^^Another reason why Rule Number One is no observers within 50 feet or more, depending on what I'm doing. Had a guy that insisted on watching me cut an overgrown field with a rotary mower. Second time I stopped I had to get ugly: "If I see you within 100 yards of me, I'm going to load up and...
