Hey folks, been lurkin here for a while and figured its time to say hello. Semi retired truck driver, finally got some time to mess around on my little piece of land. Runnin a Kubota BX23S that I baby pretty good, plus an old John Deere LX176 mower that just wont quit, and a Land Pride rotary cutter hooked to the BX. I like doin my own wrenchin when I can. Lookin forward to learnin from y'all and swappin stories.

From a "newly minted retiree"......Welcome sir!

Looking back, I am unsure of how I found time to go to work.....I'm "busier than a one armed paper hanger"...;)

There are lots of talented and knowledgeable people here to learn from. 🍻

Well be prepared to be even busier than before retirement. Hung the keys to the Peterbilt up and the list got bigger. But it is nice to go out to shop and wrench on all the toys. Congratulations on no mo dot or funny books.

So... Hey! This site is pretty awesome, everyone but the guys who already posted in this thread are great, the guys above me a sketchy. ;)
Retiring is better than working but the boss (yourself) is still a problem you cannot get away from.
