A very cheap easy to get it done. I have flare nut wrenches, but they are six-point, not twelve, and are limited to the smaller sizes. The wrench became wrenches later in the day. No, not Parthenogenisis. :/:

$14 well spent.

In Massachusetts, I think it's automatically small claims up to something like 19k. Could be wrong.

Helping another farmer fix her tractor. It needs a clutch. I'm thinking I can do it for a little more than the dealer would charge for trucking. I have to go to TSC and buy a sacrificial 1 1/16" to make a hydraulic nut wrench.

It was actually around $3k, and $1,200 shipping. With tax , title and reg, etc., she'll still be under $5k. Net needs are very minimal. If my sister's are going anywhere l9ng distance, they'll go in my other sisters 4Runner.

My older sister bought a Bolt on line. It just arrived from California. It's got a new battery, and with all the incentives and delivery it was under $5k.

Absolutely!

A small ranch with a garage and not much land sold immediately for $1.2 last year. Same guy had just bought two houses at the other end of the street for big money in the spring. House behind the farm sold for $4.5 last year, and then the excavators and dump trucks showed up for 8 months, so...

I'd probably eat that before a real salmon. I never got along with seafood.

I have a mild stroke every time I trip on a cord.

What are those black squiggly things hanging off the grinders? :/:

I'm finding it very hard to establish definitive cause and effect with my diet. I've gotten a bit better understanding of what happens if you have a gluten issue. I'm realizing the true issue with having a gluten problem is not the symptoms you feel, such as migraines or stomach problems. Yes...

Cinnamon raisin oatmeal. I'm getting better at the water ratio. Aiming for something between kindergarten paste the weird kid used to eat, and something you could vulcanize a tire with. Microwaving gives a product better suited to eco-friendly strawbale building techniques.

Rain and 50⁰ tomorrow. My farm is about the last place with any snow. Please melt!
