    The Civil War Began...

    On April 12, 150 years ago. I'm not a Civil War buff or a student of the great event; however, I was wondering if anyone wanted to share their own thoughts on the subject. This war defined our country in several ways. Before the war, people would say, "The United States of America...

    Sled Riding

    With all of this snow, my son decided to get the old sled out that my father and I built about 30 years ago. It's 12' long, 3' wide, with a 12' tongue. The front runners turn on a fifth wheel made from a disc brake rotor. This allows the front runners to turn at a 90+ degree angle. The sled...

    Jars

    Yesterday I bought a bunch of jars at a sale. These were in an old shed that the owners didn't want to clean out so I bought all of the contents for $5. I got some good canning jars, the Kerr, Ball type in both quart and pint. Then I found that there were about 15 blue jars in this room all...

    Wheat Harvest In Kansas

    Well the Kansas wheat harvest is running full bore. I helped my brother and his son cut wheat yesterday. They only had 60 acres to cut so it was just a little afternoon job. He cuts with a 22 foot header combine, A/C, cab, and radio. I got 15 gallon of wheat out of the deal for storage...

    Who's Buried In Grant's Tomb?

    The other day I saw a banker friend of mine, and I asked him if he was really busy down at the bank. He told me that the second grade class came for a tour of the bank that day, and that was the most exciting part. He went on to tell me that he was showing them the denominations of our money...

    Anybody Know Anything About Hernia Repair

    I found a lump about the size of an egg in my groin area. My chiropractor said that it was an inguinal hernia. I'm going to my doctor on Friday to have him look at it and decide what to do. From what I have read, it has to be fixed by surgery. Has anybody had any experience with this problem?
