Something to think about, Sustainable is a word tht is sometimes over used. I believe it is proper to produce all we can, but without gluttony or waste. It is difficult to find a balance between what we need and what we can produce and still assure we have what we may need at some...

The government wants to tell us what to plant how much we can plant and set the price for what we produce. It wants to find a way to over ride the laws of supply and demand. Farm subsidies have been somewhat successful but come a long way from being fair and just

I have a 40X60 Marval Brute here. We put it p in 1975. It may have a little more wall space then the old Quonset. but does have some wasted space. It serves our purpose I guess. The Miracle Span was popular when we put this up too. Don't know why we chose this one. A steel building doesn't...

Thoughts and prayers from here too.

I have an 1989 250. Is it air in the clutch system or is that the clutch don't entirely release? I believe the slave cylinder is fastened to the fire wall. After time the fire wall becomes less stable so it don't work so well. Some put an adjustable push rod from the slave cylinder to the...

Soapweed made a good point about the merri-go-round. But if they put at least one foot on the ground and help push we tolerate them.

Interesting pictures The old thresher looks quite small, but it does have galvanized metal sides. The other looks like a horsepower hay press, saw one of them demonstrated at a threshing bee one time. The one I saw had a large spring that compressed as the horses went around. Horse really...

It seems that a lot of people are having trouble with their computers. Viruses on top of viriuses. Mine hasn't worked right for the past six months. Have put 2 new hard drives in it in the past year. Now I have the windows 7 version in but I am still not satisfied in the way it works...

Flying S just about says it all. It just happens that today is my birthday, a big one. It's easier to look back then to look ahead. There are some things I would like to get out of my craw. When I came home from the service at the end of the Korean war, my main concern was to start to put...
