I watched ' Fistful of Dollars & ' For a Few Dollars More' for the umpteenth time yesterday, my faves, I never get bored with them, but one of the things I noticed, especially in For A few Dollars More, is when ' Indio' & Colonel Mortimer ( Van Cleef) are having a stand off, I noticed 'Indio' had a manicure, not even a speck of dirt on his nails . I didn't know bandits had manicures , LOL . I love watching these westerns, especially love the rigs they have. I think Clint used the same rig in every early western he's done. HS lol I didn't catch that oh yea the Duke and Clint are my absolute favorite actors of all time.

Members Handstitched Posted September 10, 2023 Members Report Posted September 10, 2023 Sunflowers are awesome . Don't know much about them , I know the seeds get eaten, but think the petals can be eaten as well ? used as garnish, as a herb or in salads? All my firebreaks are nearly done. Just one little bit to go . Slashing isn't compulsory , but I do it anyway for my own peace of mind. Bushfires are getting worse lately. My ol' Fordson E 27 has performed beautifully HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

I'm a big fan of cashew nuts, been my fave since I was a kid. Might try a few spice recipes and roast them in the oven next time I get some, but they are a bit ex$y here in Oz . I don't eat too many though , they can make me...um...go Sure glad I got all my fire breaks done early, we've just been hit with a huge storm today , it was almost cyclonic at one point. Still raining heavily as I type. No damage, & all good .

In a few months time, our a***ses are going to get scorched , as you'll be having snow.

Members Handstitched Posted September 15, 2023 Members Report Posted September 15, 2023 Hey friend, hope all is well in your part of the universe I'll be giving my my piece of iron a birthday.But it ain't going to be cheap. I've just ordered some spark plugs for my ol Fordson, hope you're sitting down...they are $40- ea online from the east of Oz and I need 4 of them . Some places charge up to $80 ea, so I was lucky. Next, is around 50-60 ltrs of oil for the transmission, hydraulics and the engine. The tractor was bequeathed to me and it has provided me with some faithful service over the years and its important to look after it and to honour my late friend that gave it to me. If I ever win the lotteries, I'll get a new radiator core....deep breath, only available in the UK and they cost around the 600-700 Engilsh pounds, by the time it gets to Oz, around the $1200-$1300 mark, yikes. The one that I have is OK, but I have to be 'gentle' with it. So how is your set of wheels doing ? Hope you and yours are in good health HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

My ol' Fordson is 1951 E27N , its a bit beyond back flushing , and besides, the cast iron radiators on these beasts weigh more than you and I combined. After I got the rebuilt water pump back on, I had to get a friend of mine to use his small crane to put it back on ,,not a one person job. Its also a counter weight for the 3 point linkage.

But I'll bet parts for a new tractor would be just as expensive or even much more. Old iron is worth every penny and minute you put into it. I just spent 2500 on a new electrical service for my house, a tree fell many years ago and bent the mast so the power lines were rubbing on my eaves. I have been without the ability to do much with electrical tools this summer so my knife making has suffered as well as my leather work. Our garden escaped a frost last night but any day we will be done gardening. AS fred says you can flush it and if it isnt leaking your good to go. My old burb is ready for hunting season but my camper is in need of repair. the front window has been leaking and has destroyed the wood frame, i have the skin peeled off now and todays chore is to rebuild the frame them reattach the skin.
