Alright then...

When we opened LMF (May 2010), we invited all TBN members... at the time about 76,000. Of those, roughly 1,250 (1.7%) signed up for LMF.

Since then, 1,050 new members joined LMF. In that same period, 19,800 joined TBN. :shocked:

So, we invited the 19,800 who signed up for TBN since we last invited TBN members to join LMF. And so far 329 (1.7%) have joined. We're expecting about 400 total from this mailing.

As for traffic... our previous one-day post record on LMF was 180. Last I checked we were over 400 today. :thumbsup: Tomorrow I can post more info since the traffic measurement takes a little while to update.

Now, if only we could find 19,800 people to invite EVERY day...

I believe he was talking about the post count "fluke" that happened during the TBN "Chronicles" thread. You should have seen it! All of a sudden, CTF's post count sky rocketed to 33,000+ posts! haha and did he gloat!

Then JohnDeere3720's post count went haywire too! And their post counts mysteriously kept acting up...

Went errand running this morning, picked up 60 pounds of cat litter, 30 pounds of dry cat food, 24 quarts of Formula Shell 5W-30 motor oil at Menards, stopped at Harbor Freight with a coupon to buy another one of their half inch drive torque wrenches for $9.99 and tax. Stopped one more time on the way home at a convenience store to buy two gallons of milk and a quart of beer. Fed the cats when I got home and let them out to explore, I am sitting on the back deck keeping track of them and sipping my beer and admiring the view.

LIFE IS GOOD !!!! :smile::thumbsup::smile::thumbsup::biggrin:

What an exhausting day - two setups, both very complex. I'm new to this setup bit, so each move is a nail-biter! Compressor at the shop burned up yesterday (the backup compressor) so we didn't work, which means there was twice as much pressure today! I'm just plain frazzled. :drool:

Thanks for the kind compliment on the kitty pic, that one was rescued from the underside of my cop neighbors garden shed last year. He was only about 2 1/2 months old when the pic was taken. The kitten would not come out from under the shed so I made a T-roller of 1 1/2 inch and 3 inch PVC pipe to roll 15 feet under the shed and flush him out, my neighbor grabbed him when the little guy ran out from underneath, and asked me, "where did you get the idea for that "gizmo" you used?". Bingo, the kitten was named "Gizmo". He is a year old now but the picture is my favorite one. Sent from mobile.

How do you fit miles into 5 1/2 acres ??? :confused2:

He did say criss crossing.:confused2::laughing:

Apr 4, 2011#207

JDgreen

The area with the trails is about 500 to 600 feet deep and 450 feet wide it has mowed trails that X and Y and curve like crazy there are a half dozen ways to ride the 600 foot depth and if you zig zag in the process you will easily go a quarter mile just getting front to back and its impossible to measure the exact length. In the middle is a 7 foot high 80 foot long hill with jumps when I had them dump all the fill from our basement addition excavation you can go over a half mile just following the outline of our property at the edges.

Yeah, save your big deal for when you get the next 500 posts which will probably be this month. Will not be on LMF much myself the next few weeks, went to my eye care doctor today and learned I likely have a detached retina. Both he and my primary care doctor want me to severely limit the amount of time I spend watching any screens, be they computer screens, tv, or my Blackberry. So I won't be on LMF much until after the next appointment two weeks from today and maybe not much for the next several weeks. Don't feel bad for me, its just a precautionary thing. Will miss hanging out on LMF and TBN though. Thanks to all. Sent from mobile.

I'm truly sorry to hear that, JD. A detached retina, from what I hear, has a very high heal rate if caught early.

So much for your MOTM - at least for this month, eh? :wink:

Yes, The Cub ads are hard to miss and for me are OK, but there is something below them on the main screen that is a "page can not be found"

and most of the time that is not complete.
I tend to dislike the annimated ads -- for me it would be better if the ad changed with the page instead of annimation.

Hiting sauce, yes...Tabasco on my scrambled eggs...also on meds for sinus headaches, and the eyedrops they give you for vision testing badly blur your vision, amd at my age my vision is already lousy because of all the tractor and lawnmower porn I have viewed...

Went back to primary care eye doctor early today, after enduring an hour and a half of testing, he is cautiously optimistic my retina is not as damaged as they originally thought but he still wants me to limit my screen viewing for next three weeks, then I return for another round of tests...

Cannot tell you guys here of LMF how much I appreciate your support and the jokes you make me laugh about with the huge, colorful print...THANKS....:laughing::thumbsup:

PS, I hate to ask this but where is that "Cubby Cadette" thing they keep mentioning...I cannot find it ANYWHERE here on LMF, WAIT A MINUTE, I am on LMF ain't I.....

Man, I'm not p----d at you! You were trying (i think) to embed the screenshot (or attach something) in your post, and as it shows up when I quoted you, the tags to do so are not opened. it's missing a "[" character at the beginning, and it looks like it was cut-and-pasted from a text editor, or something. Even if you fixed it, the missing thing will forevermore remain in my quote.....:smile:

"TONS"...why don't you just BURN the stuff instead of taking it to a landfill and paying to bury it???

Why burn when you can recycle? I mean, dumping it in the woods is a good alternative - it eventually breaks down and feeds the system. But barring that, when I take it to the dump it gets converted into mulch and sold - this helps fund their operation, and it is a great, low-cost source of natural mulching materials for the public. I know, because I'm a customer!

I'm not against burning per se - I have a fire pit that I use year-round. But burning these materials seems a waste.

I was seriuosly considering being a volunteer years ago as a friend and cohourt of mine was such.
When I spoke to him at great length he told me the hardest part was being the first on the scene of a vehicle accident. He described having to cut the injured from a smashed vehicle only to have them expire minutes later.
I decided I was probably not suitable for that and volunteered in another area.

I happen to be a Southern sympathizer. I see the Civil War as a war of States' rights, versus the monstously powerful Fed that the Rebels didn't like the idea of.

I think that making slavery the main issue was a political move, to make the North look like it had the moral high ground. All the noise about that meant nobody noticed the fed growing to the point of having power it was never meant to have. Still has an unconstitutional amount of power, based on the original document, IMHO.

However, that said - I don't think secession was the answer, and if the Rebels had won, I don't think America would have ever become the economic and millitary powerhouse that we became.

There is no "outside of class", for our children seek to learn every minute of every day. When we're not teaching them, they are out in the yard looking under rocks to find things to learn, gathering wild mushrooms to make soup for the homeless, and propagating new drought-resistant plants for third-world countries. They find lessons in everything. My kids learned everything about the respiratory system just by watching the neighbor kid (public school) pick his nose.

There are no walls! The world is our classroom. Our children learn even as they sleep - smarter when they open their eyes in the morning than they were when they closed them the night before. And better looking too.

Little more than 1.5" of rain over the past 11 weeks here. With daily highs in the 90's, it's crispy, powder dry here.
Irrigation is and has been prohibited for 6 days a week since March. I haven't used my primary mower in 2 months.
Fires are popping up across the state.
Surprisingly, I see people on thier mowers during the afternoon in a thick cloud of brown dust. I don't know what they could possibly be cutting as the grass is not growing and even dying in some areas. One neighbor insists on using the mower once a week.

Surprisingly, I see people on thier mowers during the afternoon in a thick cloud of brown dust. I don't know what they could possibly be cutting as the grass is not growing and even dying in some areas. One neighbor insists on using the mower once a week.

I see that sometimes during the dry summer seasons here, and wonder WTF are they mowing or just trying to stir up the dust???

Even with my Ventrac in great shape and needing no repairs, I found out that the EPA(in all their wisdom) has decided that the 31 Hp Gas Briggs water cooled Engine that Ventrac uses will not meet new standards next year 2012 and that Engine will not be available. SO - I ordered one NOW and will be getting one of the last 4231 Gas Water Cooled Ventracs. If you are interested there are pictures of it in the crate at the factory ready to be shipped to my dealer. Check out the Ventrac Forum for pictures. {more to come when it arrives and is delivered} !:thumbsup: :biggrin:

Now that the ground has dried, I mowed my wooded 2.5 acres with the ZTR I bought in early Spring in 1:30, fully trashing my previous lawn tractor record of 2:30.

Pretty excited about that.

A couple of families on the street have reported children and pets missing, but I don't think there's any relation despite having lost my glasses that morning.

If they can beat the Patriots this week, I really believe they are for real, finally. Not quite Superbowl caliber yet, but they'll be a solid playoff team. I said that at the end of last year - and everyone thought I was crazy. They were trashing them on that huge blowout of a season opener (it was a fluke, or the Chiefs were just that bad), and they were all "they won't win" against Oakland. All the while I kept telling everyone "stop judging them on their past. We have a new coach, a new QB, and the team feels different.". Here we are 2 and 0 for the first time in awhile. Heck, it took us over half the season last year to win our FIRST GAME! :laughing:

Optimism doesn't hurt every once in awhile. :biggrin:

Bills willhave a tough time against Brady and the boys but anything can happen. The Pats offense is unbelievable but their defense scares me. Would like to see the Bills win because they have been so bad for so long but I think the Pats will come out the winner this time.:biggrin:

Bufalo comes back fram a 21 point defecit to defeat what a lot of people would call the best team in the NFL. It says a lot about this Bufalo team and thier character.
I'm sure the first half was tough to watch, but the second half made it worthwhile as Tom Brady threw 4 interceptions while trying to weed through the bulletproof Bufalo defense.
This really defines the Bills for now.
Congratulations Twall, after 11 years you finally have an NFL team that is a contender.

So, no pros ever started out playing in HS? None of these innocents ever dream of 'the pros'? What if your pure, angelic nieces and nephews made it to the big time? Would they, too become money-hungry fiends the day they take their first paycheck for playing the game they love? At what point do they become demons? Where is that line, JD? The first million? The first hun thou? How about the first ten thou? The first hundred dollar bill? The first autograph? The first time someone stuffs a camera in their face and tells them they are a god? The first time they believe that? Where is the turning to the dark side point? Pros are hardly innocents, but scum of the Earth is a tad overdoing it, IMHO. The same for suggesting every brat in HS just loves the game, and never dreams of making millions at it.

Once again JD - the attitude and broad-brushing is plenty loud enough, but the substance is kinda lacking. Respectfully said, of course. :laughing:

So what do you guys think about the Super Bowl? If not the bowl what about grass at ball fields.

"ChowdeR"

The Patriots come out flat and are down by 10 when Tom Brady blows a elbow. The momentum never shifts......
Eli on the other hand, is relaxed a throws for 341, 23 for 26. He's able to do that, as the Patriots can't stop the Giant's running game in the first half.
Sorry for the bad news, think about the Red Sox

Uhppp! Never mind....

Wow! Thanks ruining it for me. Is there any sense whatsoever in watching the game (Super bowl) now that you have divulged the outcome?

Are you a Boston hater, or a physic, or both?:laughing:
I like the Bruins, they started a 4 game winning streak for the lightning when the the Lightning beat them. The lightning had lost 7 in a row prior to that game and haven't lost since.

I would watch the game. What Mower manic was talking about was a dream he once had. Eli will get called home to console his brother because the Colts don't want him anymore:laughing: This is the Pats year.

I don't really like the pats too much since they're in the same division as the Bills. But Brady is undeniably the best. And when he gets goin look out.

Say it, Chowdah!

You know........ you're right, I don't know the outcome of the Superbowl. but I do remember another Superbowl...... ahhh, we don't want to go there... you know the one where the Pats mailed it in?
Tom Brady is a hall of fame quarterback if he never throws another pass. I love that guy, and Bill Belechick is .... well, I wouldn't mind if they changed the name of the "Vince Lombardy trophy" to the "Bill Bellechick trophy", He's a hall of fame coach, the best of the best, and he should win this game.
I just think the Giants have a better defense and enough offense to come out ahead.
In this game, at this time of year, always take the team with the better defense.
Having said that, Baltimore should have won that game but for a missed field goal, In which case, we would not even be talking about Tom Brady or Bill Belechick.

Speaking of Chowdah, which do you guys like the red or the white? In my area the red is the most popular, but I'm into the white.

As for football, I have to admit that Eli is having a great end to his season. Their defence is what won the past Superbowl. I think it will be a close game and well worth watching, but I don't see Brady letting Eli winning a second time.

The Pats defense has played a lot better lately and if Wolfolk ever catches Eli and lands on him it's all over for the Giants. Brady is 100 times better than Alex Smith and will pick the Giants defense apart.:smile::biggrin:

I live close to the RI state line and they love the red one. In fact, I think they call it RI, chowdah. Every now and again I get down to the Lobster Hut in Plymouth and get fried clams and Chowdah. You can get it elsewhere, but it alway tastes best with the salt air.

Why did you have to say fried clams. I have not had any in five years. I would be happy just to have a bucket of steamers

It was a valiant effort......... but as Mower manic pointed out, the defense was the edge. Pats fans can hold their heads high...as hard as it may be.
It was not to be ....this year :thumbsup:

Each year I save inside projects for the winter months. This year I am spending time on a workshop for my machine tools. With the above average temps I am feeling guilty about spending all of my time inside. It is a distraction, but the inside work needs to be done. I normally start working on my tractors in March, April is burn month. Once May is here the grass starts to take over my life and I'm outside for the duration.

Well we lucked out again. We were surposed to get 5 or more inches of snow today but we didn't even get a dusting. This has been the mildest winter in a long time. Tonight its surposed to drop to 10 degrees. We have only had a few of those nights this winter with temps in the single digits. Good for us.

We got about 5-6" since last night.

I think it hit 60 degrees today. It was warmer outside than in the barn so I opened the door and let in some heat:thumbsup: So far this season we are still at maybe 12 to 16 inches of snow. Can't remember the last time we got so little. Makes you wonder what the spring will be like.
