    Best TV antenna

    Also pay attention to the cable used between your TV and the antenna. The weaker the TV signal and the longer run to the antenna calls for a good quality coaxial cable. Probably RG6. Some times its a trade off of cable length and antenna height. The longer the cable run, the more loss of signal...

    I miss fall plowing!!

    WOWO was a great, powerful station. But 20 years ago, a New York station on the same frequency bought WOWO and got approval to cut back their night time power so that the New York station could up their power to 30,000 watts.

    Fallout from Derecho

    Wouldn't any dairy farms or others with a need for silage be able to go in and chop the downed corn? But I'm in Ohio and I have no idea of Iowa based dairy farms .. and perhaps they already have their forage needs planned .. including their own downed corn.

    Paint on new cedar siding

    My home in SW Ohio has about 40 year old beveled cedar lap siding. It has always been covered with Olympic Solid stain. The stain has never pealed off. But the sun side does weather over maybe 5 or so years and needs re-staining all too often. As an aside .. I wish we never covered our home in...

    need a new printer

    Any time that I buy a printer, laser or ink based, I first look for the general specs that I'm after, second for the possible models, I look at the reviews, lastly I look to ensure low cost third party toner or ink is available. Those three criteria must all match before I would seriously...

    I must be getting old , corn planters

    I'm a retired engineer but grew up as a farmer kid on a smaller farm back in the day. I do watch a number of farming related videos and am constantly amazed at the size of the equipment that the BTO's have and even some near-BTO's have. It doesn't seem to compute in my mind that they can...

    In the Lancaster farm newspaper

    Now that several big slaughter / packing plants are closed, probably for at least a few weeks ... what happens to the swine that are fed out and ready to be processed? Surely will not be like the tens of thousand chickens killed in just the last few days.

They currently have their COSTCO 'Kirkland' KS9 aids for under $1600 for the pair. These are very high...

    Farmer Tyler Ranch ?

    There is a ton of YouTube videos dealing with farming. Some post videos at least a few times per week. Many have excellent video equipment and drones to give very high quality results. I know this is an income producing activity for some. I get a kick out of many of them in that I grew up on a...

    My How Farming Has Changed

    This video shows how much farming has changed since I was a youngster growing up on a farm back in the 1950's. This young farmer is riding on a ~ $500k or much more tractor & tillage rig while playing a game with his ride along niece. They no doubt are comfy warm and the noise level is such...

    Adding 100HP to JD Combine

    In the video, they were changing to a much larger corn header and hence the desire to boost the HP. I believe they ended with a boost of something like 25, 50 and 100 HP .. each one selectable from the JD's operator's panel.

    Adding 100HP to JD Combine

    This may well not be new to many here .. but it was to me. Here is a YouTube video showing the steps to crank up the HP of a JD combine to 100 more HP. Its certainly not clear what JD thinks of this: my guess: not much! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZazWWBQVQA

    Ransomeware?

    My church's primary PC was infected with a ransomware a few months ago. The crook left an email and demanded something like $10,000 in bitcoins. All of the data files on the pc were encrypted. I emailed and said we're a small church and no way we could pay that. At the same time I took the pc to...
