As I said Mike, the scenery. Had to check somethings two/three times standing on the tire.

Also, with the toolbox door open, my scrawny ass was about 12 inches from traffic. Had to look over every time i moved.

Will have to "break down" there again

I saw my second Cat "propietary" truck this week. It was being shuttled somewhere. Guy was driving it, had a super long wheel base, all lil factory stickers still on back window and temporary mud flaps. I still think they look too volvoish. I would like to crawl up in one and scratch around a lil. If one hangs around long enough to become used, 60 years or so, I may try one. randyp

I will take a septic tank any day of the week in place of outhouse. I smelled too much of that thing growing up. I can handle working on septic tank better than cleaning a dairy lagoon. Stinking ass lagoons fulll of cow doodoo,,no,,fermented cow doodoo, stinks so bad, smell gets in your clothes, truck cab, hair?, well, maybe those with hair. randyp

Young man, we had a talk bout this, go straight to bed, no supper for you,,,and go straight to sleep, leave yourself alone! randyp

Im gonna try to load some pics tommorrow Tom of some old saws i still got in barn. One of them is a real doozy. A Poulan 71A. It will still crank, air filter has just gone to pieces on it. It weighed close to 30 lbs. It was the first saw I ever bought, I was 16 and even back then it cost close to 500.00. Its a real pro saw. It was before days of forestry approved exhaust, and you can look in exhaust port and see piston. Prolly why im wearing hearing aids now. I did a lot of hand loading starting out, then a guy around was making pulpwood winches out of axles and brake drums, and I started winch loading. Did that a few years and bought a skid steer case uniloader with a woodstick grapple on it and really got after the wood then. Like I said, really miss those days, that resin smell, chiggers, ticks, snakes, parts of my anatomy,,,randyp

I guess yall see those "measuring sticks" duct taped to bottom of saws and sticking up. From the end of that stick, to the tip of the bow spur, was 5foot 4inches, to keep wood truck legal. I invented that, shoulda got me a dern patent,,randyp

I still gots bout 15 or 20 bows hanging in barn, and the pins in my shinbone from the effects of one. They were some real back savers. I liked the hell out of them. randyp

heh heh,,Ole Tom dont never delete nuttin from his computer library. The reason the guy dont have a hat is, believe it or not, way too much thick hair, didnt need one, hair makes a good cushion. All I gots now up there is a solar panel. Yes, the truck is a GMC with a V6 gasoline engine, 5 speed with 2 speed axle, and close to 5 cords of wood on it. It dont show it picture, but had one hell of a big braden winch on front of it, onliest problem with that, it only had a 1 way PTO. LOL,,,had to chop the winch cable loose from a pine tree one time to get a loose from it, or get clutch out of gear. Dam, them was some good ole days! I am out of positive checks today Tom, will catch u one later. I sure miss those days,,,,randyp

I wonders where she put her torch for that picture? randyp

I ain't skeerd of the truth...no "balls" needed to call me a cheap bastid. I wear that badge proudly.

Clooney didn't sing anything...lip synced to Union Station.

Jesus hung out with whores & other sinners....they were the ones needing to be saved.

My 12 year old left this morning for a week long boy scout camping trip.

I took him last night to Wally-World and the Bass Pro shop to buy some new gear.

He has been saving up for it with the money he has earned mowing and raking hay for me this hot summer. It is amazing how much time and energy he spent trying to determine what to buy because he was paying for it all! Those greenbacks are harder to pull out of your wallet when it was sweat that slid them in there.

heh heh,,,reminds me of me in my younger days,,,(and not the one on top dammit) randyp

When I lived in Houston a guy a worked with would say it was "hotter than a fresh-fu$%ed sheep in a pepper patch". I thought that was an official measurement of temperature down there.

I sweat my balls of days ago.

I'm gonna have to see "Oh Brother Where Art Thou". I went to a "hitchin" yesterday and the dj played some country/bluegrass sounding song that George Clooney had sang in the movie. The crowd went nuts.

speaking of having balls, check these out!

heh heh,,,"We're in a tight spot boys!" I think my favorite part of that movie is when he was in store for hair balm, he told him he would have to order it, take 3 weeks, he asked for car part, man told him he would have to order it, take 3 weeks, Ole george says "Dam, This place is a geographical oddity, 3 weeks from anywhere!" LOL randyp

I think me and the missus may get nekkid and go out back and "roll in mud"...randyp

Well, its a Texas thang, sweating like a hog, dont know why. Its just a saying dernit, I know a dern hog dont sweat. I have run enough of them with 4 wheelers, and watched them keel over and die. You cant just go round diagramically fractionalizing and invertalizing ever lil ole silly thing I says. I was sweating like a skinny homosapien then dernit, or neanderthal. Any way you turn it, sweat glands were doing double duty. You need to stay outta Meenards too, (never heard of that store myself). alrighty then, sincerely, randyp

Randy,

Thanks for your report on the Boy Scout adventures. It made me think back over 50 years ago when I was in Scouting. I did it all except make Eagle Scout. I was only two merit badges short of making Eagle when other activities took over and I left Scouting. As years went by I have always regretted that.

It's too bad that more of our young people are not interested in Scouting. I think there would be a better generation of people in the future.

Im gonna mail you one of Other Dogs secret agent, super duper snooper cameras. randyp

Happy Birthday! randyp

Its hot here too, but, its summer, its posed to be hot. I just go round sweating like a hog, change shirts coupla times a day. Humidity is really bad. Oh well,,,,,,,,,,,,,randyp

heh heh, All good points my friends, especially Rob and his "sandusky" idea. LOL,,,I wish he would come to my house and eat so i could spit (or shit) on his burger. People is nuts,,,randyp

I saw a lil of Jersey Shore one night, very little, all i wanted to do was hit that one goofy looking fellow with the silly looking hair over the head with a 2 by 4. (or maybe a wood splitting maul,,,8 pound preferably) randyp
