Today, my wife and I brought home Lucy, from a rescue. She’s wonderful, 3 years old and is for some reason, sticking with me. It may be because I always have a bunch of liver flavored treats in my pocket. She was hit by a car when she was 9 months old and had to have her left rear leg...

I own several EGO products: hedge trimmer, blower, 18” chainsaw and a 20” push mower. They work well. I also own a gas powered zero turn mower (Deere z655). I use it for roto tilling and broadcast spraying (pulling the devices). I have been eyeing the EGO riding mowers, but mowing 7+ acres of...

I have been looking for a station wagon for my fiancé and I believe that I have stumbled across a fake or scam listing. It’s for a 1961 Chrysler New Yorker hardtop. I had sent the ‘seller’ a message (email) via the website and hadn’t heard from the seller for a couple of weeks, but finally did...

I am installing a tow kit in Lucy, my fiancé’s 2021 Bronco 4WD 4 door. It’s a Blue Ox set. Got one side done. Electrical will be done once the mechanical mounting is done. Driver’s side, fwd is to the left: View from underneath, fwd is to the left. I’ll cut the rods hanging down after I...

I have installed a whole house filtration and softening system in the house. It consists of an iron filter (that backflushes), a 100 and 25 micron particle filters and a water softener. Pex pipe is easy to use and I have a combination of crimp and push on fittings. Next is to replace the water...

Happy Independence Day! We still live in the most wonderful country on the planet! Today, I am attending a family reunion at my Uncle and Aunt’s house (my mom’s youngest brother and his wife) and we expect about 50-75 people to attend. As such, I am going over to their house this morning to...
