I found them on ebay for $18.00. It came in today. Opened the back up, replaced the board and the tv works great. So I just blew $900.00 on a new tv and could have repaired mine for $18.00. Dammit

Took my 27” Trinitron up to the cabin years ago and is still working, the thing weighs a ton and no one would steel it
We stopped locking the door on the place decades ago because of break ins
and the door / frame getting busted up each time. So now there’s a note on the door saying it’s unlocked

Converted my tractor to winter use yesterday for snow plowing. Remove mulching deck, installed 4 foot wide plow, 45# wheel weights/chains and bungees. Tractor is now 23 years old so I've done this now, well, 23 times.

All power steering and pedal gas/brake along with plow hydraulics for lowering/raising blade ( blade angle is manual control ). This is a blast to drive in the snow!

I can clear a 10 inch snow in 30 minutes on a driveway/apron/sidewalk area that consumes about 2,000 square feet.

Have a great day everyone and enjoy the games!

Be sure to have him dig up the grass underneath, knock the mailbox a few times, and hit all the xmas decorations.

All of my neighbors have snow throwers and for the most part they all do the job very good except when its a real heavy wet snow which basically renders them useless. That doesn't bother the tractor one bit. They are amazed when they have to resort to shoveling (for hours) that I can just come along and do it in a few passes.

Much LeRoux Blackberry Brandy is consumed during these times...

My drive is ~560 ft long. I aint shoveling or snow throwing that for any reason.

I got an antique 2 stroke Snapper snowblower that was my dad's. It's got to be 40 yrs old. I've replaced the the rubber blade wipers twice, the belt 3 times, and the spark plug about 4 times. The thing just won't die.
