    Waterer Rise Tube

    Sounds like one of our waterers. It was installed by someone else but they filled the riser tube with insulation, basically defeats the purpose of the riser in my opinion. And if we get a stretch of days where the high is in the negatives it will freeze. My thought was to use a shop vac and...

    Airline employment

    I know 18 including myself. Ranging from not even knowing they had it until after the fact, to being sick for a month and still fighting damage to organs. No deaths though, ages ranged from early 20's to early 60's and all in good health. I was sick for 2 weeks, it's been over 2 months since...

    Oil pipe corners

    Except the OP is talking only steel corners (I believe) so you would only be threading the wire through 2 or three posts over 10-20 feet. If that is the case I would weld them on first. But if it is line posts, then I agree.

    Mini Cow contracted tendons

    Like Dun used to say 'put splints on and they will be better in 14 days, do nothing and they will be better in 2 weeks'. As long as they can nurse, I don't bother with them anymore.

    FSA/CFAP Coronavirus program

    I read somewhere that the second round was already planned and not part of the current relief package waiting to be signed. Don't know if it's true or not. But I always thought the April 15th cutoff date was very arbitrary since there were a lot of people that couldn't market/deliver their fat...

    FSA/CFAP Coronavirus program

    Any recent news on round two? I thought I read signup would be in September.

    Cordless weedtrimmer and other tools

    I have a 40V Greenworks trimmer and an 80V Greenworks pole saw. Very happy with both of them. I only use the trimmer for 1/2 hour every 3 weeks or and the pole saw maybe once or twice a year. Much nicer than gas powered that may or may not start depending on how long it has sat. That said I...

    Wife attacked

    I went to lunch with a couple co-workers on a Thursday, on Sunday I started showing symptoms. Wednesday and Thursday of the following week those 2 coworkers were showing symptoms. They may not have gotten it from me, but we are assuming they did. One co-worker is 30ish and only had minor...

    Funerals

    I think it is usually up to the family what type of message they would like. And I know people that would prefer their memorial service to reach out to others that a funeral might be the only place they would ever hear the message of salvation.

    Concrete

    Our curbs around bunks are around 6 inches high. Around one waterer the curb is 8" or so, and the other one is just 4". The waterer with the 4" curb has quite a bit of slope in the first 6 feet of the pad around the waterer which might also help to keep them from backing up to the waterer...

    Handiest thing I've bought in a long time.

    I have a GreenWorks battery powered pole saw that I also really like. If you will only use it a couple times a year, I think battery powered are the way to go. I also have a GreenWorks battery powered line trimmer for the yard that is awesome; only use it 1 or 2 times per month so I only have...

    Supplier for hay roller belts?

    There are a lot of different belting companies it seems, and they all seem to have good reviews. I think my last ones came from American Belting or something like that. They were around $50 per belt cheaper than the dealers in the area.

    What will be the results of current situation?

    Foster kid? That's a lot of parents.

    Some live sports today

    Sure looks like a noose to me. I'm sure it wasn't targeted at anyone and probably not done with racial implications, but I can see how with the current racial climate and Bubba's flag controversy how people jumped to conclusions. Same way people jumped to the conclusion that it was just a rope...

    What will be the results of current situation?

    My money says in 20 years there will be people complaining about the lack of diversity in product advertising characters.

    SEC versus Ivy League

    Well, you are still way closer than those on the other end of the spectrum that said we will have 2.2 million deaths.

    FSA/CFAP Coronavirus program

    I'm guessing there will be a second round of payments after the second quarter. Otherwise the 4/15 date makes absolutely no sense. There were a lot of people that had fat cattle ready to sell and no market for them from mid April through the first part of may. I think you will be money ahead...

    Some live sports today

    PBR was live yesterday (according to the channel description). No fans in the stands and everyone but the riders were wearing a mask.
