Couldn't help it.....😜 Mexico Antique $5 Pesos. https://www.ebay.com/itm/134356705818?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28

I'm a bit of an electronics nerd, and two years of StarLink at the Kentucky farm has been amazing. Two WiFi thermostats go into vacation mode anytime we are more than 60 miles away from the cabin, and turn back on before we get home. EcoNet Rheem WiFi water heater that also goes into energy...

I have no idea, but picture this calls it…..

Picture this says it's a Mockernut Hickory, also known as Hognut, Bullnut, White, or Whiteheart Hickory. Picture this is not always perfect, and usually does better with leaves.

After digesting all the responses this might be the biggest indicator of whether you should do it or not. if he’s willing to mislead his wife, why should you have full trust in him?

Yep, partnerships are harder than marriages! And if you each own 50% it can really get ugly. As good as my business partnership started, it ended kinda sour. But luckily I owned 51% and could prevent a complete lock down. We finally settled with what our attorney called a "reverse Chinese...

I built a floating platform with a hutch and feeder for domestic ducks about 12-years ago. Basically made a 4'x8'x5/4" treated lumber flat deck and put a 4'x8'x2" piece of insulation foam under it. It worked great until a cold winter where the pond fully froze and the coyotes or other...

And they are HUGE in avionics.

You sound like a do’er, and in short order you will be tempted to get involved in another smaller business - so you don‘t get bored. Take my wife’s advice and wait until you get bored to take such a step. Otherwise you might lose this great opportunity to enjoy the fruits of your labor. After...

I'm not educated enough to argue either side of climate change. But I remember being taught in school about multiple ice ages occurring on earth. According to Utah Geological Survey, at least 5 ice ages over the last 2.4 billion years. With the last one beginning 11,000 years ago. I'm not...

This is stale from an old memory, but: We sold our Indiana business and retired to Florida in the early 2000s. Income tax on the sale of our business was the compelling reason to establish residency in Florida beforehand. (I think Tennessee would have had the same benefit). But I seem to...

I do not. But I do use camp.Cuddeback to save and classify many of the photos. Primarily bucks of interest, but also turkey, coyotes, fox (rare), bobcat, rabbit, raccoons, birds, dogs, trespassers, etc. Unfortunately a glitch in the auto renew of the camp subscription lost all my saved images...

I've mentioned here before, a few years ago we stopped feeding and took our annual corn and feeder budget and started adding CuddeLink cameras. We've put cameras at locations we think are most appropriate and now have about 1 camera for every 10 acres on 550 acres total. Interestingly, as we...

This thread got me into raccoon trapping and I've had decent success with the DP traps and marshmallows. But a side question. I have a "gut pile" that is about 120 yards from the cabin, so I can get opportunities to take out a coyote or three. And this is where I dump field dressing of deer...

I don’t own any land I regret buying. But there is a piece next door I did not think I could afford at the time, and I deeply regret not buying it when I had the chance.
