    Veterans Day

    When I was in Nam, (1966 TACP with the 2nd Brigade ROK Marines) my sister put my name in the paper as a guy in Nam. I received well over 5,000 letters at once from that. I, along with others on our small team, tried to answer them. Never did get to all of them. That lifted our spirits quite...

    I'm gonna get wired up I guess Aug 2.

    "That old man barely hobbling around town with a cane and the Vietnam vet hat on..well, that's me." Damn, but that description hurt. Pushing 83 now. Sadly, I resemble all those symptoms. Even sadder is that it doesn't ever get better. Long way from that indestructible team leader SSgt in...

    My last update: The close of a chapter in my life

    82 now and just sold my last three registered cows from our seed stock operation. They'd become pasture pets due to age. Too old to breed them anymore. I hurt just from walking up. Too many internal issues to mention. All from Agent Orange - Vietnam 1966. VA has me now at 100% combat disabled...

    Let the fight begin!

    Occasionally eat fried spam & eggs. Actually quite tasty. Never ate an MRE. Ate C rations for a year in the early Vietnam days. They had '40s dates and were vastly preferable to Kimshi over rice. Would kill for the canned fruit. Was on a TACP (11 man team) with the Korean Marines (Blue Dragons)...

    Pellet Grills

    For small family home use this is what I am seriously considering. Just hope they have a sale where price drops a bit. https://www.homedepot.com/p/reviews/Char-Griller-Texas-Trio-4-Burner-Dual-Fuel-Grill-with-Smoker-in-Black-3070/302624342/3

    Our kids have situation, wondering if anyone else been through it

    If major rebuild, keep one wall and get remodel permit. Cheaper and everything previously done is still Grandfathered.

    Kioti Tractors

    Have a DK45HSE... Been running it for ten years with no problems except ignition key and one leaking loader hydraulic cylinder. Only regret is that I didn't get cab with ac. (Central Florida)

    Would you use a classified section?

    Yup, but there isn't much around here in Central Florida.

    Tagging calves

    I used to tag within the first few hours after birth. Right after mommy finished cleaning it up. As a old guy (now 82) it was the only time I could handle them. Now I can't even do that. Knees and legs are about gone. [had a small registered Black Angus Seed Stock operation] Use to keep the...
