Other obsessions and hobbies or other. 🙃

( this is my opinion skip it if you want because very few see my viewpoint)
I am too mean , will not watch anymore children, refuse to watch grandkids( of which I have none as of now) my Mom didn't have anyone to watch the 6 of us and I will be danged if I spend my retirement watching children. Thats not retirement that's a daycare/ nursery.
It's a more modern thing where people have children then pawn them off on the grandparents so they can go galavant all over leaving their kids with grandparents . Who's raising those kids.

This thread kinda started when I was about to start to build a new project. Since I need to move stuff to get out chop saw.
With well I got to organize my grease gun(s) box to restack it. The problem is that I might have a grease gun obsession.
I figured out when compiling them together. Now that said 4 of them are for certain uses. Red grease, marine, U-joints, steering linkages, Polaris 4wheelers.

Well, I've probably got 2 more that are tucked in a different tool bags or box.

So do I need to start "Grease Guns Anonymous" now.
I'm sure betting Bill could be a member and a few others too.

You ever find one that doesn’t leak? Mine all leak eventually.

Tractor therapy. I guess we can call it a hobby.

Nice looking property you got there. How many acres? Tractors nice too. Same one my neighbor has........I think.

Nice! I really like the mid engine Corvette. I'd love to own one some day but my '15 Camaro SS is gonna have to do for now. I like the updates to the interior for '26. The 'wall' with the AC switches seemed intuitive enough but I like that they went back to a little more typical layout.

I meant to let you know that GM is offering a $4k loyalty rebate on a Corvette purchase for current Camaro and Corvette owners.

Might as well get the ZR1 X then.

I had decided that was true. I finally after decades have a grease gun I like. You know. As much as you can like a grease gun. Milwaukee m12 has been amazing for me.

I’m not adding another color. I already have too many batteries. I have lots of dewalt and makita and now some of my dad’s old rigid stuff. I can’t do it. lol.

Because of @ChrisNLA and his recommendation, we just joined the sub compact tractor club. I’m loving it. So useful. I just installed some KC lights onto the headlight circuit.

I only have the red stuff.

I still need forks and a Pirhana bar for the bucket. I make do as I can.

I love the forks. And I just ordered a snow plow. I hope it ships before the next snow.

This. When I bought my tractor I made sure that the dealer was spec'ing me the lighter weight forks made for a sub compact.

I did the same. I asked for the lightest forks that were compatible.

 

[WILDHOBO]

I don't have a snow issue down here by the Gulf but I do have a 'pick stuff up' issue. We use the forks all the time for moving or picking up odd and end stuff. Makes it a lot easier for me to do stuff by myself - or at least not needlessly break my back.

We always have some sort of home or automotive project going on though...

 

[WILDHOBO]

Yeah, since I have the snowblower I'm leaning towards forks. We do get pummeled sometimes though and it takes a while with the snowblower. It would be nice to just push it away in 10 minutes and be back inside where it's warm. My drive is only like 250" long which is nothing for a pusher but is pretty long for the snowblower....hmmmmm, did I just talk myself into a pusher. LOL

I went with the blade because of cost. I’d prefer the blower, but didn’t want to spend the extra cash to get the third hydraulic function in front.

I inherited the rigid, but makita is my favorite. Although, dewalt XR has been good to me and also their corded mitre saw and job site table saw. They’ve all been through a lot and never faltered. That how I ended up with a hodgepodge
