My MIL is a gem, couldn't do enough to help us out when we needed it. She helped my wife (her daughter) to get a job at the big company where she worked and helped me get on there when I got out of college. MIL retired from there, we are both still here. She watches our dog and comes over to feed the cats and the llamas when we travel, although I get worried about her being in the barn by herself (she's 78 now). She's close enough she can come over to let service people in, needless to say she has a key to our house, and us to hers. I told the wife if it came down to it she could come live with us when she can't stay by herself.
FIL is another story. He's a gruff old cuss, former construction union president and business agent. But he loves his daughter and would do anything for her and me. Beloved by his trades men and women, when he turned 80 we had a little party for him and lots of guys he knew from then came to see him. He got me a job while I was going to college in the trade. He's disabled now, had a stroke a few year back. We banter back and forth, mostly about politics, and he has some good Korean War era stories about the Air Force (like his crew dropping an atomic bomb on the runway, it fell out of the bomb bay). We like a lot of the same TV shows so sometimes I'll go over and we'll watch a Pickers or Pawn Stars, etc. marathon, the women hate that stuff. Gave me some guns when I had a varmit problem, just said take them and let him know how they fire (some he never used). My biggest issue with him is he doesn't treat my MIL very nice, always barking at her getting her upset. I get on him about it but doesn't do any good. I've told him he better treat her nice because if she passes first I'm putting his butt in a nursing home, the nice nasty one down the road from us. He yells and grumbles about that, but gives him something to think about.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
