    Bad move, I loaned my tractor to my neighbor and need advice

    Last fall my neighbor asked to use my 600 Ford to cultivate a food patch for the critters. He managed to tear up my steering box someway and left the tractor setting in the food plot. I kept asking him if he covered it good with a tarp, which he assured me he had. I'm confined to a wheelchair...

    The Battle of Peleliu

    CKain, My father was a career soldier who served 25 years. He was a 22 year buck sgt. rifle squad leader with the 31st Infantry AKA The Dixie Division or as they called themselves The Double D. He served in New Guinea, Borneo, The Dutch East Indies and The Philippines. He always questioned what...

    Vietnam photos

    Preacher, I was there from 08/67-08/68. I recall Tet very well. I looked at a few of the pics but quit. I would like to get a goods nights' sleep and don't need any help in having bad dreams. My cousin was killed in country, 1966 and I volunteered to go. From the way things are looking in this...

    JB Weld revisited

    Robert, my neighbor works with Belzona as a salesman and he does repair work for them. Their products are not cheap but they are well worth the expense. One common job for him is repairing chipped or cracked edges on expansion joints in concrete slabs. His product will take having loaded fork...

    Blowing out a carb with compressed air?

    . Billy. I agree about the guitar strings. They work very well, when I change all the strings on one of my guitars, I save the old ones to give to my tractor buddies that don't mess with guitars.

    OT/chiggers

    Smallotwner, the coal oil or kerosene trick had been used around my area for years by loggers and surveyors. When we had a small lumber mill, the loggers showed us how to use it. I heard some of them say how much it helped, but the down side was the smell would get into the laundry and their...

    OT...Thoughts about death

    I made it home from Viet Nam a young healthy man. In less than 5 years I found myself paralyzed from the waist down due to an automobile accident. I've often considered ending it all over the last 40+ years but I considered what it would do to the ones I would leave behind. About 15 years ago, a...

    Propane Torch Won't Stay Lit

    "Glenn F.", try just barely opening the valve enough to light it, wait until the torch head gets warm then increase it. Older stuff sometimes is better than what we are able to buy today.

    Asbestos air ducts

    I agree with all that recommended to leave the dang stuff alone, if possible. I was exposed to asbestos while in the service. We used it in rope like links as a fire proof grommet. It was attached to the outer edge of the stainless steel fire wall or shield that went around the the aft end of a...

    truck smells of cigars

    If the smell of ground coffee offends someone then I have no other advice to offer them, except the following. This is OT, by the way. The medical community has been studying the relationship between people that are cynics and late life dementia. It seems that folks that find fault with...

    truck smells of cigars

    I do simple repairs on guitars. Occasionally someone will bring me one that will reek of smoke due to their exposure in smoky bars. If I can access the inside of the guitar body, I place a small bag of cheap coffee inside. I contain the coffee in a bag made of an old almost worn out cotton Tee...

    OT: Killing grass in corn

    Dr.Walt, I have just (yesterday) applied this recipe to some honeysuckle and other weeds invading our garden. Did you have good success when you used it? I sprayed yesterday morning but got a little rain in the afternoon. I applied another dose this morning. Thanks in advance for a reply.

    OT: 125 years ago tonight,(Johnstown Flood)

    I agree with MarkB, it's a good book. I read it and would recommend it to anyone that enjoys reading. The flood is also covered in the History Channel's series " The Men Who Built America". It shows how little Frick, who worked for Andrew Carnegie, cared about his workers. Many people believe...

    Rifle for tractor

    Bought my son a new Henry .22 LR for his 13th birthday, paid about $200.00 back then. It's a nice shooting rifle but I wouldn't depend on it for shooting hogs or coyotes. If you just wound them all you did was educate them. Get something with more fire power. A .223 or bigger would be my...

    Boar hog questuon

    When my father and I were keeping 10 sows and a boar, we castrated them and cut their teeth at about 2 weeks old. Like my Grandfather, we would stick them head first in a small bucket for the castration.
