just got my pick-up truck back from my mechanic.
Some sneaky rats got into it and ate some wires near the carburetor.
It disabled my truck and I had to get it towed.

I just bought a NH boomer tc45DX with all the bells and whistles,
loader, forks.  This tractor is just too big for my property. I traded

And who has the best eggnog recipe? 'Tis the season, and I've

How long do old-fashioned glow plugs last? I don't know when they last
worked in our old Allis Chalmers 5150 tractor, but I just bought a new
one for $96.40, and it looks fragile, with a 1/2" coil of wire inside
a metal sleeve.

Night has descended, on Freedom, in Britain.
Is this the next step in our loss of Freedom in America??

thought this winter I'd try a round of tanning the pelt and making
something out of it. I did skin one muskrat and tanned it but the hide
