My Facetruck thread.

It's marinating in the back of the Longhorn now. The problem is, the flat side was on the bottom, and that's where I needed the round part most. I have a shop that specializes in fixing the flat side.

[flashed]

Why not just rotate it to the round side ?

[Boog]

After all, it's only flat on one side.

I hate changing tires. Thanks for the lead on the new shop in town.

If I had a tire changer like that I wouldn't have a tractor or a window to throw it out of, and I'd be living in dozerbill72's garage.

Two good ol' boys were sitting around talking one afternoon over
a cold beer.

After a while the 1st guy says to the 2nd,
"If'n I was to sneak over to your trailer Saturday
& make love to your wife while you was off huntin'
and she got pregnant and had a baby, would that make us
kin?"

The 2nd guy, after thinking real hard about the question says, "Well, I don't know about kin, but it would make us even!"

Maybe he is venturing out and Growing Weed .

And he calls it a "turf farm" maybe. Yeah, I see.

The bed is too short to be one of ours. I did pick one up real similar to that a year or so ago just east of you, at Mechanicsburg, OH. I stopped by Advanced Design's place on that trip. If I get back up that way I'll holler.


I went west the last time and couldn't find a soul to bother. I came back down across Wyoming and Colorado and saw a bunch of untouched tin. Here are some pictures of that trip.

My dad loved farming, mostly cattle. We had cattle when I was young, but cattle didn't fit me very well. Every time I planned something, a cow got sick. I thought my dad was going to disown me when I told him I was going to get out of the cattle business.

It was a great day that I sold out. I actually got enough money out of them to pay the loan off.

Probably just another one of his corporations

my family enjoyed raising cattle and freezers packed with great beef!

fun animals to watch, almost as entertaining as chickens

farming was tough and frequently in the red but cattle always seemed to make make a profit with ~100 head +/-

neighbors lease our land to run cattle nowadays but I hope to have a small herd when I retire back home..

kids watching cattle this past summer





repurposed stock tank - red neck swimming pool



fed cattle out of this barn up through the 80's.. dad and I lofted 2000 bales one cutting..



dad later had this built next to the old corral.. external feeders on both sides..

That's a good plan Killer. A guy retired from a couple of Government careers can probably afford to farm. It looks like you have a good setup already in place. You need to get back there and tend to it.

That uncle that went to breakfast with us bought property back here all his adult life so he could come back when he retired, and then his kids grew up out there. Now he is liquidating property here so he can stay there.

Merry Christmas y'all!!

[special-K]

No... no... If he straight up denied it that would mean we hit the nail square on the head. He's in the wrong state for that. That's why you'll see those red Chevys with Davis Phamaseutickles on the door. They're 50 state legal!

I'm not a grower, but I had a plan for distribution. I was going to bore a system of tunnels right into rec rooms, and deliver with plastic canisters like a bank drive through. Then they legalized it, and the bottom fell out of the market. Now we are back to running water and poop under the road.

Oooh, shiny new! That'll lay some miles of pipe.

Just tonight my daughter told me she was down in Washington, DC and they were stopped by guys doing work. Gus, my 3 1/2 year old grandson, lowers his window and says, "Hey guys, what are you working on?". The one guy says, "Hey buddy, we're laying some new pipe". Gus asks, "What was wrong with the old pipe?". Guy tells him, "The old pipe was rusty". Gus says, "Oh, that's cool. Talk to you later", just as they started pulling away. I'm telling you that boy is a whip. But who's grandson isn't?

My daughter took my grandsons to the park today.

All this talk of laying pipe is cracking me up.
