I tried one of those extended (36") watering wands from walmart that has the adjustable spray head, worked ok but if you have lots of stuff in the gutters, not so much. I had some scrap/left over pvc pipe and made a 48" wand that will attach to a garden hose, a flow control /on/off valve, has a 90* bend near the top and a short extension with a fitting that one of those "power washer nozzles" will screw onto. This nozzle is brass and non adjustable, aka a boring nozzle IIRC. It will push lots and lots of crap down the gutters to the downspout, even the granules knocked off the shingles and those acorns as well. Reduce the times you have to move the ladder and climb up/down alot.

I gotz a pellet rifle you can borrow to pop it a time or 2, might leave your stuff alone then.

The owners manual should tell you how to get the mower to move w/o the engine running. It sounds like there is a possibility of low/no oil since you stated there was oil on the ground. That oil could either be engine oil from the motor or from the hydro pumps. Were there any leaks on the floor where the mower was stored??? Might just be a blown hydro hose to the pumps which could be controlled by a fluid level sensor.

I remember watching a lot of the launches/returns on TV whenever I could, but I was 14 back when they landed on the moon, so I had other things on my mind as well. I watched or recorded the anniversary shows to watch later. Going back to the moon would be a cool thing, but the expense would be very high, and not sure if country could really afford to do it. There would be so much bickering about it, it would diminish the accomplishment(s).

Seems like the moose knew a good thing when he/it saw it. LOL

Gas jumped $.10/gal between 8:30a and 3:30p today in Lenoir City at the Wiegles on 95, just off exit 81.

A lot of people have had to go thru what you are facing. IMO, I would buy a new laptop as the new ones already have Windows 10 loaded on them, so you should have "fewer" issues than going thru the upgrade from 7 to 10. I went thru the upgrade (forced is a good word to use) due to other software I use, so. Ended up being a big PITA. I got tired of the issues, so just went and bought a new one with 10 on it. No issues after that. You could just get a "Chrome" laptop for internet if that is all you do with a laptop. Other software is available but the Chrome computers have very little storage on the laptop itself, so you usually have to end up using the "cloud" which is another whole adventure in itself IMO. I have an Acer Chrome laptop (10-12" screen) that I use at times, works fine no issues but I do not store any personal info on it at all. My other laptop is a HP 14" screen with 10, Outlook, (email/calander/notes/tasks) that I use the majority of the time as I do keep Outlook open 24/7 to keep me headed where I need to be at times. LOL

I've even seen some F150's in use by TN Troopers, mostly the weight watchers, but's kinda cool to see a PU looking like a bumblebee. LOL

Rural King had the Ruger AR for ~$500 a week or so ago. I keep thinking I "need" or "want" one, but just can't seem to make the effort to actually buy one. LOL.

Would love to go to the CWS just to experience it, even more if UT would be there. LOL

Well, I guess pigs can fly now. The world is ending, the world is ending. LOL

Good to see 'em win the big one. Now if UT could get past the 1st rd in ANY NCAA tourney, it would be a break through.

Been on the local news, it's sad in many ways. Prayers for the family.

I'm in favor of it. I spent an entire chapter or two of my life on the phone (work related at the office) and now I pretty much despise a phone. I have a cell phone to keep the peace at the house (happy wife, happy life thing) so she can call or text me when I'm not home or not home when she expects me to be home. I usually leave it in the truck so I don't lose the phone. My phone is "paired up" with my truck, and may/may not pair it with her car. She needs to pair her phone with her car in case of an emergency tho. Maybe this law will reduce the number of left lane larry's and lisa's who won't move over because they are on their phone.

At least they are the right color.

I'm absolutely positively sure you feel better now.

I've got a couple of the Leupold "Rifleman" series, one on a 223, and it has good glass for this level ($$) of scope. They come in 3x9 and 4x12 IIRC.

The position of executor/personal representative is a "legal/fiduciary" position, and can only be recognized when the will is probated and the executor/PR is appointed by the court. The court will issue "letters of administration" which indicate who the executor/PR is. This document is necessary to perform the functions of PR. Your mother could decline to serve and then you be appointed as PR. Since NFA items are involved, you should probably do it the legal way so whoever receives the items in question do not have issues later down the road. The attorney you have should be able to do this at minimal cost, but it really depends on the attorney.

We've been having 2-3 at our feeders. Two males and one female that I know of. I've seen 2 males at the feeder at the same time, and a female on her own. Wife keeps those filled.

You mean someone on this board was being difficult, hard to get along with or sarcastic????

empty 22RF cases, aka have already been fired (empty)

All I carry is a small Swiss Army knife, the extra small version, so why would I have any desire to have one of GT's knifes???? Cause they look damn good. LOL

I really do wish you (GT) would STOP these types of posts. You are wearing me down to the point I where I'm seriously considering buying one. So, just stop it. JK. You got some skillz in that craft for sure.

I'm puzzled by the "useful and helpful idiots", never seen one or been around one.
