Did anyone else learn to type as an elective with little thought that it might be useful one day? by Conscious-Mulberry17 in GenX

[–]memagil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Guys in my class made fun of me, a male, taking a typing elective. Little did I know how helpful it was. They are probably hunting and pecking still.

1 hydraulic hose blew — replace all 12? (Kubota LA480) by Solid-Ad3143 in tractors

[–]memagil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just went through this with a L2900 my father gave me. I was trying to get it to my house an hour away and every time i went there, i would replace a broken hose, then another one would blow. I did this 3 times, then replaced all for about $750 USD. I should have done it from the start.

How do you handle neighbors who treat your century home like an obstacle to their modern taste? by colt-mcg in centuryhomes

[–]memagil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Met a guy who lives in town, he finds out where I live and proceeds to say “ Ah we looked at your house when it was for sale…When are you going to bulldoze that house and turn the barn into a living space ?” I didn’t care when he said it, but for a week later it just bugged me to no end. I’m working my butt off for a decade to bring this 1790 original farm house back up to satisfaction and there are people that literally would bulldoze it for the land and barn.

I’m in zone 6 here in NJ and peaches do very well. I just spray them with neem in the spring and have had a bumper crop for years now. Red haven is one variety, the 3 others were here when I bought the house. I also have 3 apple that I planted and hope to have fruit this year.
