Melanoma killed my father. I have a 41-year-old niece (sister's daughter) battling stage 4 metastatic melanoma. My son and I have had numerous atypical spots biopsied and removed. A couple of times...
Lots of good advice above. I have a Massey Ferguson 1760M (60 HP) with a cab. I have 50 acres about 1/3 pasture and 2/3 somewhat wooded. I shred the wooded portion at least annually to keep down...

Out the back door at our weekend place. We can't have a garden there or much landscaping. The deer have destroyed most everything we've tried. I do like to look at them though.
I have a 36" griddle that I bought at Sam's Club, their brand. Bought it on a whim thinking "this is really cool, what can I do with it?" Took it to our weekend place, where it's not unusual to have...
I'm in Texas and have the same problem. I've finally given up, at least as far as trying to keep my cast iron tops looking "new". I clean 'em up best I can, and keep 'em waxed and slick. But they are...
A few wrenches, sockets, 4" angle grinder, but the real HF gem I own is their 3000 watt quiet inverter generator. I was seriously considering buying a Honda and in the course of researching that...
I built one for my Aunt a few years ago using also using the create-a-bed kit. I agree with Jamie, it's a big job. If I remember correctly, the kit calls for 5 sheets of 3/4 plywood. It turned out...
I've had a reader from HF for 6 or 7 years, it was the cheapest one they had at the time. I have used it quite a bit, and it works well.
I'm a folk/bluegrass/acoustic fan mostly. Here's the first verse of one of my favorites from a North Carolina band called the Avett Brothers:
When my body won't hold me anymore
and it finally...
I have been a fan for 40+ years. There are several collections of his columns available, I have them all. He's 96 years old and still has a reasonably active presence on social media. He and my...

I'm a little late to the party chiming in here, but here goes: We are on our 4th RV: 1 travel trailer, 1 gas motorhome and 2 diesel motorhomes. I'll echo the comments about diesel being the way to...
I take generics...if my Doc approves. My daughter has epilepsy. Of course she must take anticonvulsant drugs, and will need them for the rest of her life. Without going in to all of the details,...
I still have my father's old wooden tool chest. I know exactly how you feel. Thanks for sharing this.
I'll echo the comment about test runs in scrap wood. On my first build I glued up some pine 2x6 and milled and routed it alongside the "good" stuff. When I made a mistake in the pine, I'd just plug...
I have a 20 something ton model I bought at Northern Tool 18 or 19 yrs ago. It gets moderate use. I like it a lot, you can either use it horizontally or the rail pivots up to allow vertical use. ...
This was a continuing problem for our ATV's that were only used during hunting season. After cleaning/rebuilding/replacing a few carbs I discovered Stabil fuel treatment. Now I don't put gas in any...
I live in Spring, Texas, just north of Houston. I usually buy lumber from one of 2 places. Houston Hardwoods or Clarks Hardwood Lumber. Both have a good selection, will custom mill for a fee if you...
We've owned a motorhome for a long time, started with a small gas engine model, got a little bigger diesel and now have a 40' diesel. We love everything about traveling in it. The best source I have...

I have been playing for over 40 years. If there is any way to toughen 'em up other than playing, I haven't found it yet. I usually play enough that it's not an issue, but even a few days off equals...
My parents wintered in their RV in the Rio Grande Valley for several years. a couple of the resorts they stayed at had pretty well-equipped woodshops as an amenity. Don't know how common that is,...
Speed reading. I took it when I was a senior. Just about quadrupled my reading speed and increased my comprehension level over what is was before. Served me very well in law school and in my...
I built one about a year ago using a kit purchased from Rockler. Took me about a month from start to finish, working nights and weekends as I had time. Nothing particularly complicated about it. ...
