Improved more or less = Destroyed in this instance "New & Improved" is what they labeled Coca-Cola until they went back to the old formula. Heinz 57? nope it got a little sweet 20 yrs ago, I've called it heinz 58 since it's not as good on my excellent salmon patties. Even S&D coffee went south. My favorite coffee of all time was their Costa Rican but they got bought out and now their stuff is awful. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At what venue did Jim Dandy break the tip off of his sword? He only had one sword he used in every show. How and Where also. Carry on! Been a bit busy modifying my mower for the rainy Ohio spring. Think I've got it though! 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for wheels to rig up my Steiner 230 with dual fronts so I can get on certain sections of my yard, but after looking at your idea, maybe I need some pontoons and prop in the back. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the 58th is labelled 57 now! It was great tangy but kinda yucky sweet. At least I can find their original hickory bbq sauce again now, it's not sweet-s*$t and it's great for chicken on the grill, or a ham sandwich with cheese and potato chips in it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike stehr Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Nothing worse than getting a Hustler stuck in the mud...other than having it die and not start in the mud. Getting high centered with one is no fun either. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know the answer, just wanted to say Kevin Harmon loved that band and seen them alot. He just got a new trailer to haul his speakers to pilgrimage but the last trailer had that logo on it he had someone make. The logo on that album with the acorn and the arm, it was about 2' wide and on his old trailer, his wife hated it and called it names and gave him a hard time about it, so we all teased him about it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Yesterday was a great day at Wrigley Field. Mid 60's, partly sunny, out of the wind and some cold Goose Island. We stayed in an Airbnb 2 blocks away. Visited the Cubby Bear, Casey Morans, Old Crow Smokehouse, John Barleycorn...dinner at Hutch and breakfast at Kanela Breakfast Club. I am not a big Cubs fan but I love Wrigley. Oh yea...Cubs Win, Cubs win. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete H Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Anybody else drink this beer? I had a local distributor that was getting it in for me at a steep price of $40 per case, but the last time they got it, it was dated 3.5 years ago and I said no way, but one of my favorite beverages. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Got rid of that darn malware disguised as winten. Tried some interesting distros run off of a usb stick. Linux Mint 19.1 Ubuntu based is as I've read about easy to get around trying to set it up. It's quicker than the last winten version from the fast ring. Almost immediately updated the drivers and all that right after I wiped the drive and installed this. Only thing is the bluetooth kbd doesn't work until I'm logged in. So... gave myself a headache trying these distros, oz of four roses took it away🥃 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MS has messed up their product too much for businesses, but once away from it, you start to realize there are very few Winows program you really need.
