    I too, have been spending less time on FHC for the same reason.

    Way too many things to take care of outdoors! :thumbs:

    It "stumbled" a couple of times for me so far today, but a huge improvement at any rate.

    yooperdave host servers are an improvement process so it should get better over time

    not like a mechanic fix where it’s good when done and starts degrading from there

    There's definitely a big improvement today regarding the site and how it's working.

    Yes, 6'4" here and the seat has to stay all the way back on my 'bota. The control sticks are almost touching my legs when in park, but there appears to be an adjustment hole to get the sticks up about 1 more inch. Maybe I'll adjust those soon.

    Spent a couple hours on the tractor changing the grade around the barn this AM. I'm going put down some more white rock and hopefully modifying the grade will allow it will drain better. I get some puddles when we get heavy rain, then getting stuff in and out of the barn just makes a mess.
    I'll plant some seed and drag it this evening...after I go to a couple baseball games.

    I'm 6'3" and like the controls on everything right in my lap. I keep the seat way forward on everything. Probably because I grew up driving Ford Rangers and there's not much room in them....it's just what you get used to.

    I'm sure most have heard the Charlie Daniels Band one. This one has good analogies.

    Day off today. Hooked up the trailer early this morning, picked up a couple deer blinds and got them home and unloaded, then picked up 3 pallets of wood from the sawmill, got them cut and stacked next to the boiler.

    Ball games tonight, pouring concrete at the in-laws first thing in the morning...then I'm not sure what the rest of the weekend.

    Our lake is VERY low. Those that sued the irrigation company (that owns the lake and water) have lost their "lake front", 200yds to water now and 1/2 of that distance is impossible alkaline crust over deep black goo mud. None of them can even put their docks out at all now. Great fishing lake not inaccessable now. Plus, all the homes towards the penisula on my end have sand dunes covering much of our properties. Ready to leave here in the next several months.

    Dear husband wants a newer suburban house-- city services asphalt and sidewalks. I get it, but I don't want a cracker box house neighborhood where one can see into eachothers kitchens from the dining room tables or out in the yard. We'll see what happens, I'd prefer an older neighborhood with mature landscaping.

    Tried out a 24 rav4 recently and was not impressed one bit. Lots of noise inside from engine and associated.

    I guess the traverse kinda spoiled me.
