Re: My Facetruck thread.
came home from work and found this trackhoe on the table
my son built it from my 70's era expert builder sets and a 1980 idea book, it was not sold as a kit now if he could just build me one I could use on the farm... and Larry's grandson could operate it for us :lol: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/milz80ebnhv..._9270.jpg?dl=0 |

I went through Blue Eye, Arkansas once. Strange configuration for a town. Two huge tractor tire shops and a gas station. Beautiful country. In my next life I'm living in Arkansas. It reminds me of the North Carolina of my youth before, well never mind.

Had a funeral last week for my 86 yo dad. He’s with Jesus now. 3 weeks before he died, l told him we wouldn’t need a hurst to take his casket from the church to the cemetery. He asked why and I said “We’re going to use the Hoopie.” He just laughed and said “Whatever!” He built this contraption in 1955 to use around the farm (think early gator) and later used it give the grandkids rides. The original (with my cousin pictured) was a early 30’s Ford chassis. About 15 years ago we converted it to a 1971 1/2 ton Chevy chassis. Lots of good memories

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Condolences Kirk. That is cool. I'm sure he got kick out of watching that from above.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
That's just wonderful through and through.
My condolences to you and your family on your dad's passing on. That's a neat little buggy idea he came up with... long before JD got the idea for a Gator. How old were you when you first drove the hoopie? |
Re: My Facetruck thread.
A skunk got in my shop. I caught him in a live trap and safely released him yesterday. I slid the Trap over the end of an 8-in PVC pipe as I opened the door.
|
Re: My Facetruck thread.
What do you do, cover the trap while you carry it? I had a skunk problem here and I think I recall that was what was recommended. I didn't deal with it, luckily they went away. Yes, they. They were under my screen house. One evening I saw movement and went closer to look as they went under. What, there's two? Wait, WTH? One, two, and three little ones following. How do you catch 5 skunks w/o getting bombed? I'm just glad they moved on
