Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
My dad (85) gave me a bucket of misc sockets and stuff when I was up visiting. I didn’t really want it I already have so many extras they are also stuffed in plastic containers. But I knew it made him happy to give me something.
I separated the sae and mm this morning. Actually quite a few decent sockets in there. Need to hone it down some more and toss the crappy ones. Red circle = 10mm!

Holy cow!
![]() You just struck gold. But they will probably all be MIA in a week. You know how 10mm sockets are. ![]()

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I sold my riding mowers 25 years ago and have been push mowing ever since. My lawn is so cut up it takes just as long riding as it does pushing. I enjoying mowing my grass. I even mow the strip across the road. It gives my mind a chance to clear or work a thing out. It's not like it's hard work. More like aerobic exercise. I figure it's one small thing that helps keep me fit. And I never mow wet grass. I was taught it's bad for the grass. It's obviously harder on the mower and the operator, and doesn't leave as good of a job done.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I prefer not complaining to complaining enough that I'd rather do something about it than complain. I take walks on my road and the only negative feelings I get while walking comes from the litter. I pick it up. No adopt-a-hiway sign giving me credit. My road is litter free for a couple miles and that's all that matters to me.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Oh man I remember those hot days at Pomona. That asphalt does not help. You could feel the heat radiating up from it.
I had a lot of good times at the Pomona Swap meet. Got a lot of good deals too. But the two I missed out on were a 69 Ford Ranger SWB, black with burgundy upholstery and a factory 390. It had all the bells and whistles. For $5000. It was in perfect condition but I just didn't have the money. The other was a 66 Charger with a 426 hemi. Same story. It was really nice and the guy only wanted $6600 for it. I don't even want to think what they would go for now.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
110?! Drink plenty of water. There should be some hot deals today
Nothing wrong with riding mowers. I had a pair of John Deere 110s from the '60s and a model 80 dump trailer. I also used to mow the meadow next to me. My neighbor claimed he bought the land so I stopped mowing it. My place is a small patch broke up into smaller patches. I cut once a week using a mulching mower. I cut it a notch higher across the road. This was at Carlisle Trucks this weekend

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Sort of the same green on JD equipment I worked on in the mid-'70s. One could almost get the whole thing apart with a 9/16" socket. Then they went to those lumpy 12 sided bolt heads. Can't defeat a farmer, they'll go buy those sockets, too! I can understand their reasoning, though. We still found some truly sick "repairs", in the fields. Fun story- we got called out to help a farmer get his tractor started, in early spring (Idaho). The boss got out the ether (diesel engine "crack"), spritzed in a "healthy" dose (at which the farmer ran back a bit), and cranked the engine up. A plug of ice came out of the exhaust pipe! Next time, leave the rain cap on, it's there for a reason! I will say that the boss was lucky to not have stuff blow up in his face, when using ether starting fluid. He'd done the same thing on big diesel truck tractor engines, in cold weather.
