OMG! You have a John Deere riding lawnmower? That is soooo hot!!!!

Haha..that is funny

 

[thør]

I could have bought a new one for $3600. That price was delivered and we picked the one we wanted

The luxury of living in the land of plenty.

I have to agree. I am building a new deck and I’d love to do it now while things are slower, but I would also encourage you to wait till after the ground thaws.

What’s level now, may not be after the ice thaws.

And may not be the next time it freezes.

Panting, drooling, begging for pics

Come to the farm side...We have a tractor....

 

[thør]

Yeah I am trying to do due diligence. My dad bought me this damn John dear riding lawn mower... I don't even mow my yard. Now I have to find a place to store it. It was in village cold storage and all of a sudden it is parked behind my house and when I ask it is "oh yeah we need to get that ...we will do it tomorrow and tomorrow never comes.... guess I got my answer and I will never ask again. I better stop now or it will be a rant. SO..... I am thinking I will wait til spring and figure it out. I am going to call around and ask some site prep people what they do. I want a secure foundation and since I live in a place where it can get wet (everyone around here has their buildings sitting in the dirt and rotting floors) i want to do it right. Another consideration is how are these sheds anchored? Do they need to be?

Now is the time to secure a contractor for spring work. A good contractor will have a recommendation for a shed floor/foundation that's suited for your tractor. My shed is just on blocks and I let it bounce up and down with the seasons. It works for storage and keeps the weather off a lot of stuff. The greenhouse, on the other hand, is build above grade on AWW piers that are set in concrete at 4' below the ground surface. It doesn't bounce with the seasons.

Good luck...we have a few outbuildings so understand the problem a bit

OK, now that we've got things rolling here, let's see what we can find out about each other! Here's some questions I hope everyone will take the time to answer, and of course, I will answer them myself.

1. How old are you? 60, 61 next month
2. If you still work, what field are you in? High School Substitute Teacher
3. What was the last time you got a reminder of just how old you are? Today, I was talking with an 18-year-old and they mentioned how old their mother was, and I was old enough to be their mother's father!
4. Do you have a partner you have sex with? Not at this time
5. Have you found yourself being more or less kinky as you get older? Definitely more
6. If you had a chance to become half your age, physically, would you, and what would you do? I would definitely take that, because most of my medical crap happened in the last 20 years, so I could avoid some of that stuff happening by making changes. And I would probably be going after younger women!
7. What's the best part of being over 50? A lifetime of learning and wisdom that I can't get my own kids to listen to.
8. What's the worst part about being over 50? Things hurting for no good damn reason at all.
9. Do you have less than or more than 5 prescription medications you take daily? I'm at 6 now, but I could be looking at a 7th soon.
10. How many years younger than you is the youngest person you've had sex with? 9, I think, and that would be my wife. I don't know that I knew the ages of previous partners, some could have been younger than that.

Looking forward to responses!

I'll bite.

1) 56
2) Underwriter, recovering Actuary (FCAS)
3) When I found out that I was 10 years older than the mother of one of my employees.
4) Yes, but not as much as when we were younger
5) Way more
6) Most definitely. Climb Kilimanjaro (it was on my bucket list but now won't be able to due to knees/back)
7) Absolutely the long time friendships and family that I am able to enjoy more now that the kids are grown and independent.
8) The flip side of 7, not being able to enjoy my kids younger year's growing up and living at home. Having that all in the past now.
9) Less (2 which I seldom take)
10) 2 years. I always dated (and married) older , even in my early 20s.. Never had a GF more than 2 years younger than me.

You know you are in a 50+ group when people are talking sheds!
Next up, joint pain remedies!

For my bad knees, I use a CBD topical cream that I bought at a local marijuana dispensary. Works great!

Kind of important here in Guy-ville

True! I can grill. And crush a beer can if someone else drinks the beer!

I live in the country in Ireland so the conversation normally revolves around tractors, the weather and who has died recently. And then the weather some more

It's the same in the country in Northern California.

Here, replace "tractors" with "snow machines".

I guess some things are universal. Death, the weather and sex, which is probably why we're all on this site, lol.
Not sure about tractors though

love tractors and sex. Can’t say the same about death, tho.

Cold weather has killed my 1972 Ford 4000. Battery is good, but it’s not turning over.

I think the super cold has really messed with the fuel. Getting warmer in a few days.

Oh no... hopefully it is an easy fix

 

[Wonderer67]

I think the diesel fuel got gummed up with how cold it’s been. It’s 50 years old, but the most reliable tractor I’ve ever owned.

Yeah I bet that is it.... my dad had a heater of some sort on the semi he kept plugged in so the truck would start on the coldest of days

 

[Wonderer67]

So many people told me to get a battery route and put it on the tractor. But I’m too stubborn.

I typically just started every couple of days to keep the battery charged.
