Apparently someone didn't tighten the lug nuts on this one. Second time this year a wheel came of commercial jet. Last time it was a nose wheel there is only two. In case there were 12 wheels so not as bad except the cars that got hit by the wheel assy.

My TV is having a nervous break down.

I was at Kroger earlier today when the customer in front was struggling unloading the cart. I notice he had a phone in one hand which was limiting what he could pickup. I suggested putting the phone down for bit until he got cart unloaded. He went ballistic. Just acted like I attacked him so...

Just went out to get my truck off the jack stands and ramps. It might sound stupid but it took everything I had to get the jack out, raise the back end up, and remove the jack stands. But at least that end is on the ground now. Awaiting for the battery to charge up from the cold weather then I...

Briggs 49M977-1036-G5 Just can't find a single reason for the oil leak. This is the second time in two years this has happen to the same engine. No warpage found.

Well gentlemen this is just my opinion but it looks like Briggs is taking up the bad habits of Harbor Freight on their small engines. I got last week a Briggs horizontal shaft 13U2-80098068-F1 engine. Even the model number is formatted differently than what I am use to. Even tried the serial...

Due to inflation we are going to BBQ the neighbor's kid that hung himself yesterday. No point wasting eatable flesh beside store brought meat is getting way too high. It will also save us fuel plus the wear and tear on the tractor having to bury him. The brush pile will take care of most the...

It is ridiculous to kill up a million chickens just because one bird tests positive for what they call bird flu. It is just plain being paranoid. Even my small flock has colds at times which I treat with terramycin and they recover with 24 hrs usually. Matter of fact one my of hens just had...

Sears Parts Direct is a bunch of jerks and can't be trusted. I order a throttle cable assembly from them because their website indicated they had it in stock back on Oct 5. Since I hadn't received any shipment emails, I login to my account to only find out that they had back ordered the part...

PTO is Good, PTO switch is Good, Ignition Switch Good. So what you guys think was wrong and how to repair on the cheap.

This really pissed me off to a point. I stop to buy $45 of fuel and ask for a receipt as I usually do for business expenses. The clerk asked for a phone number and would not process the payment; unless, I gave it to him. I refused and demand my money back. I went 1/4 mile down and got my gas. I...
