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

Super Cool

That is Great that he can take that info and make it Real

When my nephews were younger,
I got them into LEGO'S.

I bought a Few Older sets from Brink link and other places.

I even got One of them interested in Technics.
Of course, they were for him

I never realized how Great of a Training tool they were for young kids,
And Old kids also

That is impressive. We were talking about problem solving skills in the office a few minutes ago.

OK, so I will take "in five counties".

Pine Bluff is a damn good place to be "from".

Almost all of us old timers here have roots in TN and KY. What was grandpa's last name?

Re: My Facetruck thread.

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.

Blue Eye is an interesting town because it's sitting on the Missouri, Arkansas state line. I was born and live about 25 miles southeast of there.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

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.

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

I put the trap in a 55 gallon trash bag. The skunk tore the bag off the back of the trap. I just eased up to the door end with a blanket and laid it over the whole thing. I didn't make any sudden movements and loaded him in the bed of my truck and drove him to our pipe yard. I put the trap up to the end of an 8" schedule 40 pipe, opened trap door and slid the end of the trap over the end of the pipe. I didn't wait around to see how long he stayed in the trap and pipe.
