Re: We think we know

There are fellows. There are fellows in heavy vans with ladders. They are moving down the road at high speed. Man, I would pull off at some point. Of course I was a little po'd when they come at me. We don't know what they went through. These guys want to see their wife and family. Many of us have r...

Re: opinion; old German milling machine

My tractor is much smaller. It has the original Cooper tires. Chains were attached at times. Yes, you can't even give away tires when they are shot. It is cool as it can be. Your wonderful tractor is in good shape (because you fixed everything about it) Right there to deal with a special milling mac...

Re: We think we know

Around here, the streets are essentially "one way" We have to look around the corner to see who arrived first. Slide into temporary area to allow the honker to go past. They have enough problems. Traffic is terrible and there is always a situation that causes an extra hour or more travel t...

Re: opinion; old German milling machine

Then again, not all are built that way. If it is possible to say, your tractor ... I'm at loss of words. I hope your milling machine arrives well. There is a different way of engineering which just HAS to be that way. Units. Individual units pulled out and another plugged in (with some shimming). It...

Re: We think we know

Hello Mauro! I read everything you post. I grew up in Texas. I bought my first car in Texas and my Dad and I found a radio which fit the dash. It was from a 1942 Cadillac. Great car, great city and huge great State.

Re: We think we know

It was wrong topic We are just people passing each other. Who gets kooties from the other person. Kooties are fleas , chiggers and Lone Star ticks! Horrible things. I suppose they are not too prevalent in Northern areas. We have to understand how these bugs work, They want to survive by any means. T...

Re: We think we know

At least it isn't the assassination squad this time. I really do have medical issues and I expect many of us do also. There are certain medication which keep us alive.

Re: We think we know
