    10 year old hop vine.....dug it up!

    So we started a hop vine from seed about 10 years ago and it grew into a huge complex of roots that grew 15+ feet each year. Problem was my wife bought the seed and didn't remember to make note of what kind because she didn't think it mattered. It was hard to pick due to the height, I made beer...

    Log Splitters

    I guess I don't post here much but I would like some input if anyone has any. I usually split wood with an axe, tough or large logs I cut short with a chainsaw and that makes them much easier to split. I usually get a couple cords through the summer from here and there but I happened to come...

    Wow, this place looks a lot different these days

    At first I thought I logged into the wrong site, sure looks different since I last logged in here. I don't know what happened, why I stopped coming here, I still visit other hobby forums. I see Homer is still around?? Anyway, I am thinking of doing a couple batches again.

    Clear Chocolate Beer???

    I had some leftover grain, about enough to make a 2 gal batch so I decided to try something different since it was small anyway and I always wanted to try something along the taste and color of maybe Rochfort or something. Anyway, I wound up adding semi-sweet baking chocolate to the boil...

    Home Refinance Nightmare

    Well, probably not that bad but it has been a real headache for me and I have spent a lot of time on this. I was told no appraisal needed by the loan officer (dealing with 2 people here) which was true, under the terms for a Fannie may loan it is not. BUT they found that the township was...

    I am using my laptop now, but the virus has my computer locked. I went online, on this computer, and I found a site that for $100 bucks or so the tech will remotely log into my computer and clean it up. Well, since it has already been attacked I am leary letting someone I don't know log in...

    Home Backup Generators

    Anyone have one? Any suggestions, comments, help? Bad experience, good experience? Would you do it differently if you could? We lose electric enough that I think we need one. Last time was close as it went beyond 12hrs without power and food begins to defrost and we have a big chest freezer...

    Panzarotti Deep Fried Homemade

    I just can't get it right. Either breaks open or is too "doughy" and dry with little filling. ONE time I got it almost perfect but never again. I want a crisp outside dough with plenty of tomato sauce and melted mozzarella inside. I love the Tarantini panzarotties. I think they are premade at...

    Old Socks and Underwear

    Just retired a pair of underwear today and I got some socks on the way out too, holes in the toes. For me it is not so much a matter of cost as it seems such a waste to throw them away as soon as they show some wear. I used to give them one last wash and then put then in a bag to keep on hand...

It is a guy (Jonathan) who hosts a fictitious radio show and during the show his oddball friends call in to speak to him about all...

    500g propane tank (can I use it?)

    I just had our 500g propane tank swapped out for a cheaper supplier. So I haven't called to cancel my contract yet with the other supplier just yet. But I now have the old tank off to the side with at least 5% that I believe is about 25g of gas left I paid for. I was wondering if I can just hook...

    Powered Herbiside/Pestiside Sprayers (15g and Up)

    First of all I know I spelled Herbicide and Pesticide wrong. :-( I am looking to buy a sprayer to spray my stone/millings driveway to keep the weeds down and possibly to kill all the ants making ant hills and bringing dirt to the surface. I have a tractor with a PTO but these 12v models have...

Anyway, when they were dumping the grass they took out into the dump truck the guy threw 2 medium sized tires off to the side along with a long piece of wood and 2 rakes, on was broken. Said he would come...
