As I understand it, be careful which sawdust you save. I have heard that Walnut sawdust will harm plants.

Interesting thread! I also disagree with Derek. If they take the rest of the US, they have to take Kansas too! No sense in leaving us out! I have heard for years that Social Security could be funded if they remove the earnings cap for it like is done with Medicare. I think that the current limit of ...

I love those powdered sugar donuts, but my favorite was always the Hostess Cupcakes! I saw them advertised on the Howdy Doody show and I had been eating them ever since. They were 10¢ back them and I remember getting mad when they went up to 12¢!

I have had oil filters like that! I fought one for 3 days that had a filter in a tight spot. A co-worker of mine had a problem with his oil drain plug. It was leaking after an oil change and when he tried to tighten it, it was stripped. We worked in a TG&Y store with an auto service center. He w...

Joe, Point those fans to the Southeast corner. We could use a little relief down here too. I know it gets hot there too as I lived there for about 4 years. I enjoy seeing those wind farms. The company I work for makes the power centers and control centers for those. I don't know if we did that group...

My oldest grandson graduates Monday from Joplin High School. If you remember almost a year ago the high school and at least one elementary school were destroyed by an F-5 tornado. The high school is now in a Mall. The guest speakers for Monday night are Governor Nixon and President Obama. It might b...

Farmer, I don't think they understand! This is a woodworking forum. We build things, then we try to think up uses for them. Besides, I am sure that you have pulled so many trailers, equipment etc, that it is second nature to you. Enjoy your trip! One thing I can't understand though is once you have ...

I am glad I am not the only one who loves old barns. Our old barn collapsed in the mid 60's from a very bad windstorm. It was in poor shape. We were about to shore it up, but never got the chance. I was farm raised. On my dad's side we were farmers all the way back into the old country which for us ...
