Well, spent the last 3 hours in my Daewoo forklift owners manual to try and find out what oil goes in the transmission. Everything is in Korean, Numbers don't add up, been on the computer trying to translate into english, getting fucking pissed I can't find out if its just simple 30 weight oil or transmission fluid or fucking Korean fish oil. So I throw the book down and said fuck it. I will call a dealer and find out in the morning. Then the Cuda picks the book up and says maybe I can find it. Now how in the hell are you going to find it if I can't I said and I know what I am looking for? I looked on page 58 I told her have at it. So she goes to 58 and then to page 59 where its spelled out in plain English SAE 30 TO-2 Transmission Fluid........God I hate when she does that shit. Kind of like the kid with the lug nut story.

Worse, gives my wife AMMO when we are hanging out with friends.

Got another one from 20 years ago.
Stopped by my mothers house one fall afternoon because she said some kids were taunting her dog in the back yard and the dog would go nuts. So I get there and sure as shit these kids were throwing shit at the dog over the fence. So I snuck out the front and ran through the neighbors yard around their garage to about ten feet away when these kids took off. Me being still in pretty good shape I thought was thinking I will run these punks down easy. After about 100 yards and 3 fence jumps I knew I wasn’t catching them, and they knew it as well. On my walk home they pelted me with the pockets full of crab apples they were throwing at my moms dog. Man that was embarrassing. I did get back at them two weeks later, that story I won’t tell. Lol

I'm doing some dry wall in the basement. I'm finished so the wife does the painting. She picked some paint up at Menards. Yesterday she went to paint and said it's pink not white. Being somewhat color blind I couldn't see it. So off to Menards we go. I'm at the return counter explaining what happened and the gal behind the counter shows me the label on the can. I guess it pay to read the label.

Did a yearly PM on my 35 year old air compressor today. Changed oil, drained the air tank to make sure it was completely water free for the winter. Gave it a good cleaning, checked the belts,etc... Grabbed the air hose to blow it off before putting it all back together. Then the light went off, dumb ass how do you expect air when it's apart.

I can’t remember if I posted these or not.
My wife made an oatmeal birthday cake for her mother and we took it over to her. It was kind of like eating a gooey bar and she forgot to put the flower in it.
Previous to that, she made two pans of lemon bars for a surprise birthday party. They cut one pan of bars and everybody said how good they were. I whispered to my wife that I couldn’t taste any lemon. She said she hoped she didn’t forget the lemon in both pans.
She is baking Christmas cookies today. The good thing is that I usually get to eat the failures!

Winch to run the plow wasn’t working on the Ranger and I was all pissed off thinking the solenoid was shot or something. Cleaned the terminals and still didn’t work. Went to the battery and realized I never hooked up those cables this summer when i cleaned the terminals off. 🤦♂️

Last night I called a township supervisor to bitch about a certified letter they had sent out stating I hadn't completed the necessary mowing. I told the guy to come out and walk the area with me and show me what hadn't been done.
Town supe pulls in today as I was headed out to do some orchard work. Fat little fuck couldn't even get out of his 1996 Caravan to shake my hand and have a discussion. He immediately came at me with "maybe you should think about what you say on a voicemail" after he had asked me if I "knew who he was". We had a lively discussion for about 10 seconds before I told the SOB to get the fuck off my property a few times.
My wife isn't happy with me.

If so, are they on the road right of way, if it even exists?

If so, are they on the road right of way, if it even exists? Nope, this backwards ass township leaves mowing of the ROW (that residents own) up the owners. Some mow, some don't. They want 8' of the shoulder mowed. Makes sense for snowplowing. The problem is that very few of the ditches were built in a way that allows mowing. The township sends out certified letters (I busted the guy's balls for wasting my tax dollars on those) to residents who haven't "complied". Meanwhile, the township is responsible for brushing out anything over 3" diameter. That hasn't been done for decades, the evidence of which is readily available to anyone who isn't blind. The township also hasn't replaced a Yield sign at my three corners for over a year. I don't really care, but if the fuckers are interested in dotting I's and crossing T's we'll have a discussion about it. In retrospect after he asked me the last time I went to a board meeting I shouldn't have told him (direct quote) "you fucking hillbillies can't find your asses with both hands, why should I waste time sitting and listening to your bullshit". He caught me at the wrong time and he pulled into my driveway with an attitude. That doesn't go over well with me
