  1. Thanks Nigel, I may visit the page, if I comment I used the nom de plume of Willam Gates (no i) on Facebook
  2. There is no one in the Republican party that can garner the amount of support as Trump does, not because Trump is good, but because all politicians are viewed as corrupt and inept. The democrats are in even worse shape. They have promised so much to so many and delivered nothing that their base is completely fragmented. They could attempt to nominate Oprah Winfrey, but as splintered as they are even that would not be even as good as Hillary did.
  3. That was when I was a teenager and no place to go. The kids are gone and the dog sleeps a lot, so the house is fine, besides, I wouldn't think a Churchill movie wouldn't promote arousal from most people, lol
  4. Thanks Andrew and Norman for your responses. News stories like this and others are blown out of proportion on our news outlets with each news organization providing a higher or different level of spin on the situation with no historical or factual content. Its my main complaint, not news, but entertainment is what we are fed for news. I understand many, many people do not like Trump, but the way many are acting is not mature and puts them in the same poor light.
  5. We can download the movies to our phone and then play them on our 55" Sony for free or cheap. I just thought about a date with the wife at the theatre.
  6. Here in the States (and maybe the rest of the world as well, that's why I'm asking), we have no real news sources any longer. It doesn't matter whether you go the four major news networks or to so-called liberal or conservative news infotainment channels such as MSNBC, Fox, CNN, or Yahoo. All news is now spun for ratings and to play to certain bases and segments of the population. There is absolutely no consistency or accuracy in so much of what we read that I don't think anyone over here including our leaders know what any particular situation is truly about. It would appear that out federal and local governments have turned into a talk show tabloid environment and has relinquished all control of their senses. The days of different opinions working toward viable solutions has been put asunder to name calling and character assassinations. The worst part of it all is that it seems his has had a particularly adverse reaction on our young people and the maturity level of the entire population is not much more than lower elementary school at best. Any reaction to the story I'm posting below, because it seems it is a non story written to agitate the people into believing the Russians are doing something they haven't been doing for some time, but I have no way of knowing here in the States, so I thought I would ask you chaps for your input. https://www.yahoo.com/news/uk-air-force-scrambles-2-fighters-russian-jets-124124066.html
  7. I have not been to a theatre in over 20 years and this movie is one I would like to see at a real theatre. I believe that because of the subject matter the audience might not be filled with addle brained, immature, and rude people on cellular phones therefore allowing me to actually enjoy the picture with minimal distraction.
  8. Has the movie been released in the UK yet?
  9. Fantastic haul sir! Please post more pictures as you get it sorted.
  10. I just heard this as well, so sad, what a great artist
  11. Wow, what a deal and that is a really nice cover
  12. I have often been tempted by one of these, but so far not one has jumped into my truck. I'll have to run into a guy like Chris over here.
  13. It woud seem that us yanks aren't the only ones that have trouble understanding the Queen's english. lol,"thar to greet us wuz monsier molyneux, witch he insisted we have, as he put it in a purrfeck english ackcent, 'A spot of Earl Grey?'
  14. Your showing a great deal of ingenuity in this project, the type that isn't oft seen these days. Good Job.
  15. I have two sets of the tri-ribs and at least 3 sets of monster Duro Frontier AG tyres, I love them
  16. That's a good brand and a good price
  17. Opt for the tubes, those tires can be very difficult to mount tubeless
  18. You're not looking to put them on a large frame are you?
  19. You might consider the wider smooth ribbed tyres, they are easier on the turf and can be just as easy to turn as narrow treads. I'm pretty sure those are 6" diameter tyre, so your choice are going to be limited, that said I would stay away from anything with a deep or aggressive tread pattern, not that those will be easy to find. A nice chevron tread design might be best. These are fairly cheap, not sure if you can find them in your locale http://www.millertire.com/products/lawn-garden-tires/13x5-00-6/13x5-00-6-rubber-master-rib-4-ply/ http://www.millertire.com/products/lawn-garden-tires/4-10-6/4-10-6-rubber-master-sawtooth-4-ply/
  20. That is a very interesting and unusual machine, forget the bag and let it green rain fly. I have a feeling that after the machine hit the tree and bent the front foot rest the driver was either mortally wounded or suffered a serious brain injury by hitting said tree, hence its lack of recent use.
  21. Happy New Year to all, let the new year bring bounty in every way
  22. A member of one of the garden tractor Facebook pages posted a video of his 3 year old driving a full size Simplicity garden tractor with cutter deck and no ability to touch the foot pedals and no one in sight of the video. I post a stern warning and he and several other members took me to task over questioning his parenting skills. I had a son that I brought along as well and at 8 we started a few of these things to introduce him to new things, but not at 3. I think you'll be okay. Supervision is a important thing until and after they leave the home.
  23. Given that this machine is a smaller lawn tractor than a larger garden tractor, 8 years old should be fine with supervision. I think your idea to expose him to other interests is a very good one, but don't forget to involve him in the basic workings and maintenance aspects as well.
