    Holiday weekend!

    Well, I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing right now... I had plans to leave 3 hours ago. Instead, I'm watching the forecast like it snow season... They are calling for some really nasty storms on Sunday. Large hail, winds, etc... I don't want to take the truck and trailer just to have them...

    Friday Night, Lights!

    So I have seen the lights once near Land'o Lakes. My mom has said, a few times she would like to see the lights. She has a number of health issue that makes traveling harder... So I woke her up at 9PM and told her we were going for a drive. We were on the road by 9:30. One of my friends posted...

    New John Deere x590

    You know about the John Deere place in Hobart, right. He specializes in late 80 to early 2000s. And a few random models that have that cult followings... Not sure if I'd get my money's worth out of the loader... I'm sure I could find projects but only have one that. I'd really like to do for...

    New John Deere x590

    Nice and you have a more property than me. Good to know they are worth the investment. I did see the loader but they don't have one for the new x500 series. My understanding is the old 400 and 500 were closer to what the x700 are now. First snow this year I did a few neighbors drives and the...

    New John Deere x590

    No, from my understanding that is on the 100 series models. I think just the box stores carry those. I believe the dealers start at the x300 line. Not sure where your oil drain is but, mine is just far enough that it will clear the frame even at a slow drip. If you look at the very first picture...

    Value of memorabilia

    I have been extremely busy with my own projects I put off, totaling everything from this event and starting a golf outing fundraiser for the fire department. Normally, we try to space them out a bit more but we were getting swamped with people asking for tickets to that as well. Those tickets...

    Value of memorabilia

    So I just talked to him and he was good starting at $10 he said he would meet the winner and give them the whole back story on the photo. As he said, "he could go on for hours about the picture..." Like I said, he can talk and keep it interesting... He realizes it is a niche item, but as you...

    Value of memorabilia

    Not harsh at all, I know it's a niche market and that is why I was asking. Most of the people that attend are local, there are a few that may be are not because they know someone connected to the fire department or one of their friends invited them, that type of thing... Including a dinner is...

    Who's Been Out

The kids had basketball games that did not want to miss. The first weekend I figured, not a big deal we had all winter. The second weekend we did go...

    Value of memorabilia

    All right so this is completely off topic but I'm sure there's others that either are involved in or attend functions like this one so I'm looking for a little input. So the fire department I volunteer for holds a firefighters ball as a fundraiser. Basically the events very similar to a wedding...
