Hang in there Dale. Sounds like you are making the best of the situation and playing the cards best you can. Continued best wishes for the wife and family.

Happy Birthday my friend!

Indiana chapter of the IHCC I think. Found a link. https://www.ihcc33.org/ih-plastic-show-weights.html

My problems were local. Very poor service, "out of meat", wrong orders, I just swore off of them completely. The local store was selling drugs through the drive up. People were fired but it was kept very quiet and shouldn't have been. That was within the last 5 years

Rarely eat fast food. Stopped with a friend yesterday after spending the day at a sale. Hardee's was empty but food was fresh, hot, and quick. I haven't purchased food from a McDonalds in over 20 years and won't.

I better call the dealer...... wait......I don't know where anyone would even buy one around here. Oh well....maybe next time. Sniff.....sniff

Probably a decent price on the 686 depending on hours. I paid more than that for mine with the 312, factory ROPS, very good 16.9x38's, and around 3200hrs on it when I bought it several years ago.

Yes to all and I'm early 40's. Can also drive a 10spd, forge weld, and use a rotary phone. Haven't mastered this one quite yet....

A lot of times the state extension service or state universities will have posted rates much like @MT Matt was mentioning.

That's a cool find. I like the side mower.

Quick search. If nothing comes up, just list it however you see fit. I do a little research normally. If it's a price from fleabay then the actual value is about 25-50% of asking price it seems. I just looked up a vise yesterday because I have one and a guy asked me about buying one. Yep, fleabay price is $650. Is it worth that? Absolutely not. In reality probably $250-300 tops. It's all in what it's worth to you is what I'm getting at.

Ha ha ha. No, that was the gold one I had before it. This one had a deer put his head through the passenger window at 70mph. That was fun....

There are more people here than you who study history. Historical facts aren't being disputed. We all know there were sects of the populace not allowed to vote at one time. We all know of the duel between Hamilton and Burr. I am not disputing those facts and am happy for ANY citizen to exercise his/her/they/them/its right to vote regardless of how that opinion blends with mine. I never stated that voting laws had not changed over time. At the time of the civil war the founding fathers were all deceased. Yes, time had opened a wound there between types of people and the civil war was not without cause. That has no bearing on a discussion about exercising your civic duty. I could say that 34-35% of people eat breakfast every day but that doesn't make it relevant to this conversation.

There was a United States for several years before the Civil War. It was formed by people that were not greatly divided. Agree 100% ^^^^^Yes Sir!^^^^^^ "I think many folks today would not be aligned with ideologies from the early 1900s" And there are many folks here today that don't align with yours, yet here you are.... You have a RIGHT to be here because of people who voted and fought for what they believed in for this country. It doesn't matter if 198% of people find you offensive and standoffish. It's a freedom of speech. It's hard to argue that the reason we are all able to grace others with our opinions here is, at least in part due to voting. The laws centered around voting were made because people, at some point, decided to cheat. When that cheating was discovered, laws and rules were put in place accordingly. Unfortunately there aren't laws against beleaguered people who know everything that cast a shadow on an otherwise positive discussion.

Waiting on the poles to open now. No vote equals no right to complain if you don't like the winner. Exercise your rights!
