I am looking to see if any members here have any hearing impairments and what you find to be the best hearing aids out there. quality, warranty, digital, blue tooth compatible what other options there are out there in the ear behind the ear tubes ect what are your experiences? I have 75% hearing loss in my left ear in the mid to high range frequencies that is gradually getting worse over the years and 25% loss in my right ear in the higher frequencies which is considered normal for farmers ect. I had my ear drum damaged in high school from a rifle muzzle blast 6 inches from my ear and having been a farmer for the first half of my life and then onto a heavy equipment diese…

Brilliant!

Was wondering if anyone has any room and is going to be passing near camp lejeune and Indianapolis any time soon? I found a potential buyer for my ranch hand bumper, but I gotta get it from my place here in Eastern NC to the west side of Indianapolis.

Seen on TV where the Feds are making it mandatory for the auto industry to have a black box (EDR) installed in EVERY vehicle sold starting 9 / 1. I heard this was coming, but didn't hear of the exact date intended until now. They did mentioned that some vehicle on the road does have this device already installed, but didn't state the companies or models. This can and will be used by law enforcement and insurance companies, and can be used against you.Does anyone know of this device and exactly which vehicles they have shoved it into so far ?How about the parts name or location ?I'm wondering how much trouble one can get into if the device was disarmed ?It was stated that …

Alright, so ever since these gadgets hit the market and have been causing a ruckus, I've always been against them. Especially since I have read articles on them about certain things that the cell phone carriers and companies can do with them without you ever knowing. I've been pretty anti-progressive with this technology. Seems as though people are becoming more and more dependant on technology. Its getting out of hand with how freaking attached people are becoming with their phones. I constantly see people and not just young people texting on their phones oblivious to the world around them. Then, you also have the obscene charges to operate them. Darn near $100…

About two weeks ago I crossed the wrong wire and sent a full 13 and 1/2 volts positive thru the whole grounding system on my truck. Thanks to Michael Nelson's phone conversations he helped me with getting some problems cleared up. After disconnecting the batteries for awhile the temp gauge started working again and the trans started shifting again. Next with a code reader I had the trouble codes cleared.Mike still reminded me that I may have burned one of the diodes in the ALT. This was a bad deal since I had put in a new alternater only about 25 miles ago..Well I got the bright idea to check Craigslist for a Fluke multimeter since they are so expensive, but work correct…

If'n you're splitin-n-stackin'.................................then, no problems!!!

Decided to enter my truck in the open truck pull at the local fair today and pulled 205.68ft and placed 3rd in a class of 8 "work stock" diesels. It was my first time pulling and it was a lot of fun, I probably looked like this when I got out of my truck at he end.

Well guys, I just felt the need to reach to y'all. I know some members are on here that are beyond my years and may even know a thing or two about this. Most importantly, maybe just read it and take it for whats its worth.My father in law, on Tuesday suffered what I classify as a heart attack. I was not there personally to see this. I did not even learn about until later that day after I got home from work.From what I understand that transpired, he and my mother in law and their son went out to the woods to go shooting. Getting the rifles set or made sure they were set for this years hunting season. They had finished their shooting and I guess out of no where he fell to t…

Well folks I've done it again!!! I messed up, going in for surgery this morning at 6:45 to have tennis elbow release surgery. The doc said it was from too much repeatitive motion! I never knew how much a person uses their elbow and the last few months have been heck...pain constant! I'll let everyone know the outcome later on today! Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2

$4.39 for a box of 10. sheesh. I'm good for another decade!

..and ran across it again. Basically corvette vs. fighter jet.. You can listen to 8 minutes of crap or you can start it at 8:00 where they actually race. Pretty amazing.

I've been slowly losing my hair now for about 4 years or so. It's really, really picked up in the last year though. If it keeps up at this rate, I'll have the chrome dome and horseshoe within two years.Here's the conundrum though................I used to be able to wear a ball cap all the time no matter the weather. That's when I "had" good hair. Now it seems that with less hair, my head is warmer no matter the conditions. What gives???
