He's not. But I can understand his guys looking out for him. I hadn't met those guys a couple weeks ago. But now they know me. I haven't been involved in any physical instances, but I know someone that was at an incident where police were called. Lots of language was exchanged that the...

A couple weeks ago I stopped an Amish farm run by Amos Miller, if you don't know how that is, google the name and select the news list. First, he's a super nice guy, I like his entire family. But anyway I stopped by to ask him if we could use his walk in reefer in July to hold some extra...

Plan your trip properly. Your way out, make it all uphill, so it's all downhill on the way home.

We made dinner in the trailer lastnight, we've been doing that just to get practice with serving. Doing it again tonight, making burgers and testing a couple of ideas using the broiler. We harvested all the peppers we could find today. I have the wife and kids working on getting things...

That rock is surrounded by Air Supply.

I have some of those. :)

I do my best to buy vintage tools to use in my workshop. The oldest one I have is a Sprunger Jointer made in 1958. I have a lathe from 1962, Radial Arm Saw from 1977, Table saw from 1987 a Rockwell full size Drill Press from 1965. Some of them needed fixed when I got them, the lathe, I'm the...

Another one for you fogies.

We took the trailer out for a test drive after putting new tires and suspension on it. Rides a lot better and is more stable. I fixed the tow mode in the truck, and pulled it up a rather steep hill without any problems, then took it down the highway. It handled perfectly, tracked straight...

Huge isn't it? It weighs almost 1000lbs. I think I know which shop one of them ended up in. I had a local carriage shop fix the top to my large canopy. They were using an industrial machine, but not one like that. Nice young Amish man fixed it for me. Those going into Amish shops mean...

Only "I" can? Who gave me this responsibility? I do not accept it, neither do I accept the responsibility of preventing forest fires.

Here's one probably most have never seen. Under 20 of them were made in the early 1900's. Not many of them are left, but those that are still working all reside in Lancaster. This one was in Holmes County Ohio in a harness shop that was going out of business. They had two of them and both...

Even thought I didn't sleep lastnight I spent the day working on the trailer. I picked up to heavy duty rubber anti-fatigue mats to cover the floor. Got it all cut to fit and attached some to the step ladder we get into the trailer with. Now I don't feel as though I'm gonna slip off when...

My plan is to get and modify a pair of rigid Molle panels so I can choose different kinds of pouches to use. I don't like big bags that everything just gets dumped into. With Molle pouches I could do a large bag on one side, a tool kit, and pouch for my tumbler of ice tea and a first aid kit.

It'll cut stuff other than Stainless. I had smoke billowing out of the workshop while drilling, combination of the oil burning off and the insulation inside the door panels. I've broken and dulled so many drill bits working on this. Probably more than 40 at this point.

I would order that board, I'm sure it comes with the 6A version. Also order the 12A version of that component. Install the new board and get the mixer running. Then remove the 6A one and install the 12A version. Swap boards when the new 6A version fails, then fix that one. Then you always...

Me too, but then my time is worth $15,000/hour. :)

Starting to feel better. I did take the bike up to the store the other day and made it back alive. But still don't have a lot of energy to do much, mostly because I'm not sleeping well. I did get something done that's I needed for months but I've been keeping the door off the cabinet. I...

A few weeks ago I rode up to the grocery store with my trailer. I hadn't used the trailer for a while and neglected to check the tires before leaving. I didn't notice a problem until I loaded up 4 gallons of milk, a water melon and two cantaloupes and some canned goods. Both tires on the...
