Yes. They are like chicken eggs when dry.
Are you trying to take over for @duluthralphie ?

I hope he is actually okay and didn't just get sucked into an incubator or squashed by a toad.

Sweet.
I am glad you are able to decide. I have Six bucks that I have to narrow down to no more than three. It is getting very difficult. Several were easy choices to let go but these last six each have great qualities and bloodlines. It is hard to decide not only which one to keep, but which way to go. Especially since all but one of the Bucks are young and unproven.

He's fine. He's been around.

Really? I haven't seen them in any of my read backs. Glad he's okay. Good morning!

@kwhites634 I just have a question for you given your old job. I absolutely hate weed eaters because they never stay running, but if you had to get one which type would you get?

Shindaiwa, hands down, with straight shaft (get up under bushes better). I bought one when I first went into business; liked it so well I bought one just like it a year later (I used to have help). Most years I didn't store them inside when they weren't being used, even over Winter. I had/have racks one one trailer rail made to hold trimmers; that where they stayed 'til I needed them next time. I never even ran the gas out of them over the winter; anything left in the tank was used the following season...no Sta-bil, even. Come springtime I pulled the rope 4-5 times & went to work. The 1st one finally died, but the 2nd one was still used every day when I shut down 20+ years later. It just don't get much better than that in my book.

Good for you! It's no wonder America's educational system has been sliding southward in the world rankings for so many generations.

Too true. He might not want to give them a quiz or something difficult here or they might have to think. Then if they don't do well you might be in trouble for makeing someone feel bad.
It is pathetic!

The problem is that the teachers from my generation will be the last teachers from the kind that don't use all the electronical mammbo jambo to teach something, but uses knowledge ,experience and logic to educate the children !

Glad you are still fighting!
