What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

I think it takes a special talent to be able to maneuver those huge rigs and have to compete with the small cars driven by so many airheads. You have my respect for surviving so long. Once you take up farming, you will look back and wonder how you ever did what you are doing.

 

Been doing it pretty much since 1990. Took off from 1998 to 2011 to get a degree in industrial management and work manufacturing for 6 years.

trucking is much easier than cubieville. IMHO.

not quite 2 million miles. Traffic and drivers are a lot big part of coming off the road.

not really taking up farming. More moving to the country like I’ve always wanted.

thank you though.

 

This was taken in Kingfield Me. I found it on FB and it said it was taken 4 days ago.,

 

Thanks for the lead. Now, that would be a deal! Looks too good to be true though and probably a long way from SC!

 

Yup. Iron is much heavier than water, absolutely it will sink. Those that believed it COULDN’T sink also believe the world is heating up at astronomical percentages. Those without the CNN mindset and have open brains can see beyond narratives with some facts.

 

Good to hear she is growing into a great kid. Your encouragement really helps.

 

It was only in the mid 70s today. I took it easy today and waited till 11 to start working on the old minivan. Had to replace cam position sensors. And to do that you have to remove the throttle body and upper intake. I need to replace the valve cover gaskets but I didn't want to tear into it that much. I'm waiting on the cam phaser activators to need replaced. They have to come out to take the valve covers off. The egr or pcv setup need to be removed too. I feel like replacing all the junk next time. I needed the van to run for kids to drive to morning band and afternoon soccer practices this week.

Then I flail mower the perimeter of the south pasture. Greased the tractor, loader, and mower before I parked it.

While I was mowing I noticed the lagoon pipe was grown over so I finished the day with digging it out before my sewer line backed up. I need to get an excavator and dig the lagoon pit out. That seems like a job for late fall or winter.

 

Maybe we should stick to firewood

 

I disagree; when you encourage kids; think of it like planting seeds. Some grow some don’t, BUT with kids you never know when they will bloom..

keep doing what you’re doing

 

So true. So as Canadian border VT says - keep doing what you're doing.

 

Time to start on the next build...a pair of custom office desks. These are complicated enough that I have to do a "real" drawing to make sure I account for everything. I quickly found I am awful rusty but it comes back to you quick. Still have have some details to clean up but this should be good enough to get it done...not like I need to provide an "as-built" drawing or anything.

They aren't small...9'x8'x6'. Hickory and hickory veneer plywood. Should look good. Need them to knock down into 3 pieces to fit through the door.

I usally have to build stuff for other people that I wouldn't build for myself, but I'm kinda jealous of this one...would make one helluva workbench.

 

We are getting serious about cutting at the Border Not chain saws

 

Oops….
