A lifesaver for sure! Occasionally I run 3, but the third usually is streaming a sports game

I like how other countries put a health scale and their stuff with six ingredients but the US promotes food with an encyclopedia printed on them

We are not obliged to eat them

We are not obliged to eat them

Come here and try to find something that isn’t garbage to buy. I get stuck working long days and run out of food. Almost anything ready to eat it loaded with preservatives. In Iceland there are good healthy heat and eat meals at the small stores. I’m not sure how much of that is available in Poland. We ate at restaurants most of the time and only bought Red Bull and beer at the stores. And those terrible cookies that taste like an air freshener.

Picked up a clean old Toro 2 stroker mower 1987 vintage for $75. Everything works perfectly on it. Suzuki 2 stroke engine. Just grabbed a NOS side discharge kit for it off Feebay for $25.

I’ve only ever shopped at a Blaine’s Farm & Fleet once in Madison, WI. I wasn’t impressed. They’re said to be family of the original owners of Fleet Farm and got into a disagreement over something. Similar to the Albrecht’s of Aldi.

"Farm" stores are no longer farm stores. They are just Wal-Mart with a different name. The Farm and Fleet here is the southernmost location they have. As you go south on the Iowa or Illinois side you find Farm-King stores. Going further south in Illinois you have Rural-King. I know Rural King stores go to the east also. We have a small chain of Theisens here that have 5 locations. Three are very large stores and two are small. There is Huffmans here with 3 locations. They bought out Boneys in Aledo which was a true farm store. During the 1970's and 1980's there were 3 Fleetway stores in the area. They were later bought out by Orschelns which had many locations in Missouri. About 6 years ago Orschelns was bought out. It was a odd split as Tractor Supply took over a portion of the stores and Bomgaars took others. What made it more strange is Bomgaars ended up taking over some Orschelns where Tractor Supply had stores. Oh heck I forgot the short lived Central Tractor. It is sad to see the true farm stores gone.

Fun fact: commercially produced food tends to contain vast quantities of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, which also is used in explosives and fuel for internal combustion engines!

The air we breath is consists primarily of Nitrogen but hell the experts say that stuff is deadly.............

 

[Bill G]

You can get rid of toxic ones, but others are necessary, otherwise you will feel bad or end up in hospital

Yet you still survive....................

Yes, it is actually not that easy to finish off the body, although it is not impossible

 

[Sloughfoot]

Got this for our makeshift kitchen at the project house up woop woop. $120. Warning label says indoor use may kill you but I don’t believe them because outdoor use would be inconvenient.

All the Orscheln stores were split between TSC and Bomgaars. We even have locations where Bomgaars took the Orscheln and TSC had their own store. The old Orscheln here has combines parked inside it.

Well of course.............




In Europe they like Grey Poupon on their wieners................

It might be cheating, but I ordered hard copy manuals for all my Huskies.

 

[Bill G]

I prefer hard copies. That is why I have so damn many binders of them.

I'd been wanting to get one for a while now before they can't be got.
