Hope it isn't too bad. At least it didn't do this -

This is what came to my mind when I read your post..... The one among you who has never done any wrong thing may throw the first stone.

...the stupidity of it kind of outweighs the tragic part. Man Dies After Attempting To Shoot Fireworks From Top Of Head

Ok. I don't keep up on the rules for that. I buy things to use, not look at.

I've been wanting one for a long time. I had to set my limit at $4000 and I figured it would go for a lot more. I started it at $2000 and it went in $500 jumps until someone else got in ahead of me at $4000. The spotter looked to me for $4500 and I said no, figuring I was out. The auctioneer...

That could be tough. I thought about cutting my own out of plexi-glass until I found out a real window cost $40.

Thanks everybody. 23 hp When it happened, I was more aggravated at how long it would take to sweep up the mess than replacing the glass. That safety glass explodes when it breaks and goes everywhere. Years ago, a truck crossed the center line and nicked my truck mirror. The impact was enough...

The beans were dry. It was sunny and breezy all day and I was picking in the afternoon. This is the first time I've ever had to pick beans in the mud. I don't expect it to happen again. I'll stick with Troybilt and flat ground. And my new toy -...

I finally overcame the cheapskate side of me and bought a back-saver. Scooping 25 heaping wheelbarrow loads of sawdust with several more to do as well as facing having to shovel several tons of rock under my new deck helped convince me. Really though it's more about the time it will save than...

After 4" of rain two nights ago, there wasn't much choice but to go play in the mud. I had to peel my shoes off a week ago to do some garden work because I was sinking a lot deeper than I was today.

I planted several potatoes (red) & cucumbers and pumpkins (black) yesterday. Green beans are just popping through in the blue. The green is tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, lettuce, and zucchini. I've been planting about 160' (four 40' rows) of sweet corn every week for a few weeks in my other...

The people that see our country being destroyed from within do think about that.

If they try doing that as things stand now, THEY will be starting a second civil war. There are far too many people (including many police) that believe as you do. I believe our economy will collapse in the near future. No economy in history has ever survived when the government went into...

Just a helpful hint- You need to delete your first five posts. It may have made sense where you copied it, but it turned into undecipherable gibberish when you pasted it.

I would use a different adjective, but that isn't allowed here. The highways are full of drivers with no brains or courtesy.

I'm an old dinosaur, so I use dinosaur oil. :old I buy and drive older vehicles, and older engines don't work so well with synthetic. They tend to leak or burn it. Oil changes on the semis at work is every 25,000 miles. When I had my own truck, I changed it every 20,000. On my cars and pickups...

I got the floor and 1 stair finished and stopped because I had other things that needed done. I still need to finish the other stair, the railing, and retaining wall, then level the dirt and get rock underneath. I'm also going to fasten metal underneath to keep it dry and park some of my...

About 20 years ago, the sawmill I was working at burned down. They brought in a Woodmizer LT40 fully hydraulic to keep sawing while they rebuilt the big mill. I ran it for a couple weeks. Of course it wasn't as fast as the big stationary mill, but I thought it worked pretty good. I have read a...

It's low now because I scraped a little deep with the skid steer. When the deck is done and I put rock under it, it will slope away from the house like it did before. You might try this - http://www.theeasygarden.com/threads/sawdust-as-a-soil-builder.16015/ It's cold enough to snow (below zero...

I do dumb things like that all the time. Somehow I've never broke a bone in my life. What we'll enjoy most is being able to use the back door. The old one was so bad, I was beginning to wonder if it was going to collapse when I walked on it. The house was holding the deck up on the one end. I...
