Re: Coming to America

If you get in touch, tell him I said hi! We emailed for a while then he went radio silent. Hope he is ok... How you loving that over the road stuff? Kind of "amateur hour" at the truck stop these days! Lots of new guys that really don't get very good training. Or they don't listen. One of ...

Re: Gardens

Bluebird update. I took pics of the 5 eggs on 17 May. Yesterday I looked again and there are at least 4 young birds, fledged out and just about ready to learn flying! And we have gotten about a dozen blackberries so far....if I ever get a chance to plant them out of these pots, I bet we will get a l...

Re: Gardens

And the bluebird nest reported on in the "where is everyone" section needs updating! There were 3 babies that survived the first batch and now the same pair is working on another batch, starting with 5 new eggs! I have been trying to not bother them too much....

Gardens

Well, that subject should be generic enough to mean just about anything to anyone..... For me, it means strawberries, blackberries, Amaryllis, peonies, and potatoes. For now. I planted some Amaryllis seed last year in pots and got 9 beautiful medium sized bulbs for the effort. This year, am planting...

Re: Canadian Dirtbags

Once in a while, I go back through the past...and revisited this today. Last post here was 2015. Last post from them was in 2017. Curious how they are doing now and if their experiment continues....?

Re: Hay, and the unroller.

Not exactly on thread, but so much isn't.... I ran across this and since most of the people here are of the mature persuasion, it is likely that most can read cursive. And I have heard and observed from younger ones in the family that this is not being taught in many schools any more. This looked li...

Re: Hay, and the unroller.

Well, I had an interesting small engine search today. I have a 1976 Sears Craftsman rototiller that needs a breather tube from the crankcase to the carburetor. I call this the killer tiller, because there is a fatal flaw to the design that Sears told me years ago requires it to be returned, presumab...

Re: Coming to America

The two biggest issues I have had are dealing with the car dealer, and dealing with the bank. The car dealer, because they are car dealers, so struggle to behave honestly, and tend to be surprised when pulled up on it. And the bank, because they don't understand that a green card is a representatio...

Re: Coming to America

After inappropriately posting on another thread about this, I figured I should start a new thread. Why South Dakota? It's where my mother in law lives. on the western side of the state. What kind of trucks will I drive? Big ones, they are what I am comfortable in, and there is generally plenty of w...

Re: 1170 watt system on my "Midlife Crisis Recue Unit"

I have discovered I need power at the farm and the local utility will not provide for reasonable price until I have a house footing and some building going on, so I am gonna get some solar for small things like drills, water pump, saws, etc. Nothing solid yet, but this is my first post to warn every...

Re: Covid-19

Well, our little corner of the world has become more relaxed relative to covid. The vaccination seems to have worked. A dozen or so friends/family who have caught it survived (only one did not and that was early last year), and there have been only relatively mild lingering effects. We have even be...

Re: Tiny house on a trailer

This is the entirely wrong thread for me to post in, but seems to be where all of the action is. I'm moving to the States in a few weeks. Have been approved for a green card, have the visa stamped in my passport and plane tickets booked. Will be driving trucks in the near term, so may have the poss...
