    Evening all:

    WHY! I just got the bid on the carb I had mentioned prior, I think I may need to join carboholics anonymous :rolleyes:!! $241 with shipping and tax, somewhat rare carb, and from looking at them over the years I figure that I stole this one, wasn't going to bid on it, but now am glad I did. I think I have enough carbs now and will stop at 6. :facepalm:

    Can’t recall the size motor they are running, they did get out to race this weekend though, so must have figured the thing out. My former boss ran a 360, crazy how many more horses they squeeze out now from over 20 years ago.

    Ya know, it's just like the pay per view (or whatever they call it) where they promised no ads, and now there are ads... and the same thing for ad free radio by subscription that is sneaking ads in. They want their cake and they want to eat it too. I'd be looking for a new insurance company. I've priced Geico and they are nothing special. It's easy to find the same insurance for a better price.

    A little something every chance we get.
    I'm not annoying my life for $5 over 6 months. I will annoy them until they make it work. There are no deals that I haven't look at.

    And this is why they do it. If no one will hold their feet to the fire they will suck your (and all their customers) wallet as long as you're alive.

    I want the discount, but not sure I'm going to keep the app. It's annoying. I can't even use the phone in OB where it's through the car. I don't have to touch the phone. What difference is it between talking to the "radio" or to people in your vehicle?!?!?! If I "have to" use my phone in the truck (or even in the car) I keep my eyes moving and pay attention to what's going on around me. But I guess there are enough idiots out there that don't pay attention, that the rest of us have to pay for it.

    Got rid of a couple pest racoons. I fail to see the purpose of their existence. They're just big rats IMO. Been working the issue for a while. Several mornings now, no coons on the deck. So far so good. They're persistent and always hungry, which I can use to my advantage. Plus, they no doubt have a litter close by. Even better! I Just grit my teeth and do what's necessary. Wife doesn't agree with my battle plans, so I don't talk about it. She notices their numbers dwindling. My conscience left the building in 1965.

    Good morning! Happy Monday and hope you all have a great schedule of things you want to do (porch folk), and things you will tolerate to get the job done (donut makers).
    Light travel schedule this week, 2 nights out, possibly three.
    Big pow-wows with chief today,:argue:figuring out why they are trying to take money outta my pocket. I'll be around the farm and end the week there. Tractor time coming up! :thumbsup:

    Good morning. Monday in the vacation week. We leave Thursday afternoon and today is Costo day. I need some replacement parts for my hearing aids and a few other house items. Cooking a chicken for dinner.

    Be cautious with that X-mount. Make sure to use the rubber "butterfly" retaining strap that goes with it. I ditched that mount after having a phone slip out of it when I hit a bump coming off an exit ramp and watched my fairly new phone fly off my handlebars and slide down the shoulder of the ramp about 15-20 feet. Admittedly I'm using a handlebar mount on a motorcycle which entails a bit more risk to my phone than inside a truck. I have since ordered a slipgrip mount which is phone specific and has never failed me in over 5 years.

    I had the whole family came by, I had to trap one after another and used what I believe was same method as yours to get rid of them.

    Yep raccoons give me problems as well. Started with dog proof traps, but they tore up everything they could reach while in them. Then a live trap and hauled them to the mountains. 20 mile round trip. Probably they beat me home. No problem for a while, but now they are leaving huge (as in bear size!) piles of poop in not so nice of places, such as a decorative rock next to the front porch! Time to set up the live trap again.

    Good morning everyone! Have a great day!
