Tassels? COOL! I've got.............foot tall corn. :/

Cup in the cup holder idea was ok-ish, but there wasn't enough chance that it'd catch fire so I had to ditch it.

Hmmm, there's a 99 parked in the driveway sometimes with nobody around to guard its cup holding center console....or e-locker!

Rworegon, yes, yes they do want quite a bit for that piece of annoyance. I refuse to pay for something that's in a ridiculous place anyway. If I can't fix it, I'll come up with something else- and stick a holder on it for the cb mic as well!

Aviator, Ha, he'll read it but it's good to have a little stress in a marriage, right?
He's gone all day....

Chef, I'm gonna give it some perusal. Something will come to mind eventually. Thanks for the offer, though.

As far as the filter goes u never tighten the filter with anything but ur hands all filters o rings expand, just some more than others and instead of using grease just rub the oil on the seal makes life so much easier!!

Rub it in, I've got foot tall corn with tassels. Chickpeas and Pintos doing ok, as are green beans, okra, bell and anaheim pepper and peas. Might not get any more tasty corn but I'm (mostly) not complaining.

Have a great October vacation!

Aww, not rubbing it in at all. I'm actually a bit surprised after the runty 1st batch to have this nice 2nd planting. Have lots of tomatoes here now from two plants...with just me 'round here guess I'll freeze 'em for soups this winter. Green beans and cukes still going good too.

Thanks on the vacation wishes....friend from Germany arrives 10/3 and off we go exploring the Oregon coast, the Redwoods, etc. down to San Fran, and stop in and see my 100.5 year old sharp-as-a-tack grandmother in Roseville, CA before heading north.

Between this thread and Chef's, I'll have a lots of catching up to do when I return.

Was vaguely looking at kits but can't justify the expense when I've got a few maintenance issues to deal with and toy wants on the list. I've bookmarked the page and thank you much for the info racerflea.

Camping/trail building weekend (surprised, aren't y'all?). I've got things that need doing but no time to do them of late. Trying to decide which direction to go in next and just how I'm gonna fund said direction.
I've got an itchy need to turn a wrench.

Trail builds are rarely more than 20 people, this one included nearly 240. Ozark Trail Association, REI, Bass' Resort and many many volunteers made it happen. This time a lot of sweat and sore muscles went into making the Berryman Trail even better than it already is.


It's not a mod, but it's one of the things we do that sometimes makes it nice to have something with a little clearance that isn't scared of dirt or pinstripes.

A crew that large can get some serious work done in a weekend! Nice how Blue was strategically placed in the background.
