    More advice needed on Lawn Care Equipment

    I have a Still "weed wacker". It is currently set up to use the string. I am thinking about swapping out for the plastic "arms", but wanted to get persons opinions on this setup. I am tired of having to open up the spool to straighten out how the string is mounted on the spool to get it to self...

    Anybody been doing any grilling or bbq'ing?

    I did finally get to smoking the turkey. Turned out great and will be doing it more, especially for lunch meat for the week. It was just a 9 lb breast and did it at 250 for 2 hours. Was done at that point, so I quickly shot the temp up to 375 to get an extra crisp on the skin.

    Turkey Smoking Tips?

    So I got the temperature controller hooked up to my ceramic smoker and used them last night. It is going to be a dream to use. Not that the smoker did not hold heat well, but it did need checking every hour or so to make sure it was not too hot/cold. Going to smoke a turkey this weekend and...

    Starting Monday June 8th... Back to no more political content.

    This poop is starting to drive me batty and I think that the relief valve with the virus is no longer needed. There will ALWAYS be something to discuss with the political world, so to try and find a time when there is nothing is impossible. I do appreciate EVERYONE'S restraint from making...

    That time again...What are you paying for propane?

    So I just got a letter from our propane supplier, saying that we could lock in at $1.499 a gallon. I looked back and last winter we were locked in at 1.249 a gallon. Does not seem like a great deal to me, but I know the price can fluctuate and was wondering what others pay and if they think 25...

    Amazing Talents

    It just boggles my mind what some people can do. So life like. None of these were done with a CNC, but they can do some pretty cool things too! Then there are the folks who are such die-hard trend followers (apologies to anyone that this might apply to) that they will take a flawless mahogany...

    If money was not an issue...

    Thanks to Slimcake for veering us off the "you know what" topic. Here is my attempt.... So, if money was not an issue, which three "toys" would you all get. Included in the no money issue is anything associated with it, like storage, maintenance, fuel, etc. The ONLY caveat is that these three...

    my furry friends

    Nice pics and cool stories. I would love to see your setup(s) for the bird feeders. There are several bears roaming our woods and, although we knew we had it coming, the bird feeder was removed from it's pole one night. I have a few ideas on how I want to set things up, but am looking for any...

    The "NEXT TIME" ?

    There are lots on this discussion board and elsewhere that are worried the actions put into place due to this virus outbreak will be repeated in any future events that are similar. To me, this is a very valid concern. I was in favor of the quarantines and stay at home orders when cases started...
