Wife and I are lucky, we will celebrate 67 in a few days.

Speaking of Nutria, back in the 60's I was the bookkeeper for the worlds largest mink ranch, and part of he diet mixed daily was Nutria. At the peak season after the kits were born we were feeding...

"Crooked as a dogs hind leg"

Very enjoyable, Jim

Very enjoyable films....what a change from today, everyone dressed in suits, and not a huge person to be seen. Where did we go so wrong?

Another vote for the garden way cart. We had one for most of the forty years we had the farm, worked like a charm.

My 1873 house had a walkup attic that was fully plastered and floored, a nice attic, as attics go, but there was an addition perpendicular to original house. I took my trusty Sazall and cut a new...

Ditto on the Tomcat plastic traps from HD.....they work like a charm. I use peanut butter, never tried sunflower seeds. I caught 15 last year after they ate thru the garage weatherstripping, I'd had...

I remember back when we bought our first house back in '62, there was lots of redwood in the lumber yards available at a cheap price. I put up a martin house on a redwood 4 x 4, a twenty footer...

A friend of mine, a former cemetery manager, said many people use a 6" piece of PVC with two end caps glued on, will last forever in the ground. Not too elegant, but does the job.

Owned one for 37 years until we sold the farm and moved to town last year. The best source for any kind of info on these tractors is Yesterdays tractors ,com. The forum is loaded with people who are...

Moses, years ago my wife and I were in a very tight situation and really had no choice but to cut spending to the bone. I mean we weighed every penny we spent. We even gave up the daily newspaper to...

We got married in 1953 and had a Mercury 9 phone number and we still have the same number, now dialed as 639 xxxx. I don't remember when they dropped the Mercury. Seems to me we might of started out...

I have a house built on a slab with only 6 inches to ground level. I'm thinking of laying pressure treated 2 x 4s flat and going with some kind of decking over that. Do think this will rot out with...

Go for it, Pete
Many years ago, in 1959 to be exact, I built a plywood sailboat from plans in Mechanix Illustrated magazine. My first big woodworking project. It was a 14 foot international 14 class...

I bought my shopsmith in 1959 and have used it almost daily for the drill press and once in a while I use the 12" disc sander. When I need something on the lathe it gets used also. I haven't used the...

I bought a used er10 in 1959 for $100. Best money I ever spent. My son bought a later model a few years ago, what a piece of junk. The old ER was a heavy, well built monster. I made many projects...

My old twin tank emglo compressor has sprung a second leak. I repaired the first one with JB weld a couple'o months ago and now this one, which I JBed last night. I'm sure there will be more in the...

My 1874 farm house is built of cypress lumber. Several years ago I combined two rooms and a hall into one big room and saved a bunch of 2 x 4s, full 2" by 4". I scanned these for metal before working...

Want to make a headboard for a kingsize bed with a couple of reading lights built-in. I'd like something small, the lights, so I can partially hide them. What would be a good choice, and how high off...
