MainelyWheelhorse 2,203 #4 Posted 5 hours ago Cool, you learn something new every day here, tractor related or not. I’ve never heard of Chester Greenwood or that he invented earmuffs, and I live in the state where he invented them. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CCW 1,452 #6 Posted 1 hour ago Back in CT after being in TX for Thanksgiving. It was 85 when we arrived there and 24 upon our return. The 80s was nice but I will take a bit of cold and snow here than a summer of blazing hot in TX. You can only take off some much clothing when hot, but can put on more layers when cold. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love that year round, even better with only mild humidity. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
