Rob, looks bad, I may not be a good parent. Killer gets to sit out and enjoy our lovely texas summers, never gets to go indoors. This summer, he got melanomas all over drivers side of hood and some on drivers door and a lil on roof. There is absolutely none on other side of hood, other door or not even a trace on fenders. Paint started bubbling up, popping off, now got ugly looking rust. Dont turn me in to any official agencies or anything, am gonna try to fix him. Whatcha think i orta do , lotta sanding, cleaning, and painting? Sorry,,,,Randyp

Hello Leslie, My bracket is 26 inches long, its 20 and three-fourths inches to first bolt hole, someday am gonna fabricate identical bracket for other side, put duals on, then I can be twice as irritating,,,,randyp,,(pic may not be clear, its raining here)

heh heh,,,just so it dont interfere with "Sarah Palins Alaska Show". I have really gone goofy now, havent I. randyp

I dont know why, but I tend to collect a lot of pry bars, usually wind up buying more at garage sales, take them home, shine em up and paint them. That, and get a lot of older, "antique" older specialty type tools that I will never use,,example-have 4 fireplug wrenches and a couple of old gas valve wrenches. There is absolutely no reason to have them, but I do, from garage sales. I could probably load half the pry bars up and scrap em and get a pretty good payday, but aint gonna. When I was working on that backhoe a while back, I lost my treasured "obstruction" or "starter" wrench out in the woods. I went by parts store, heh,,guy didnt know what i was talking bout. I ordered me a replacement at sears online store though. I had that other one a long, long, time though. May take metal detector out and look for it, think it was on step of tractor when i brought it out of woods. Think I will go out and stare at tools awhile now,,,randy

now ats what ahm talking bout rowdy!! randy

Big 10-4 on Starrett, you get tired of staring at them, ship them here and I will take over staring,,,randyp,,,

heh heh,,yeah Rowdy,,had a friend, who, several years ago was advised by Sears employee, to go over to Vises, finish breaking tool, come back, and they would give him another one. That is absolutely true story, always thought that was funny,,,randyp

Yeah Freight, I have loaded several loads of gravel and dirt with it now, and I guess its okay, specially for price and not having to move excavator. I think excavator really spoiled me though, it loads really fast, specially if I work it out where Im "tail-loading". Still, cant beat price and convenience though,,,,randyp

I like tools, got way more than I need probably. In my younger years, I scattered them all over the country and lost a lot. I keep up with them now, keep them clean and organized, and sometimes just sit and look at them. My prevalent favorite brand is Craftsman, mostly for the price and replacement policy. I have some specialty tools of different brands, mostly cause craftsman doesnt sell them. Anybody out there got any opinions or favorite tool brands? Chief Master Mechanic Randyp (in my own mind, of course)

Amen to that,,,randy

I put the rubber side up once in my younger years, that was enough to last me a lifetime, (hopefully). There have been several attempts through the years since that people have tried to tell me my business, talk me into stupid sh*t, Im mostly hardheaded bout it now, dont care who they are or what their rank is, im gonna do stuff my way, take my time doing it, not gonna be rushed around or coerced into anything. Before I retired from coal mine, stood nose to nose with a few high ranking so called big shots and refused a few jobs till things were made right, in the safety aspect. Heh,,I was union so there wasnt much they could do bout it. It always amazed me how big companies could conduct safety meetings, and 20 minutes after meeting, be trying to get you to do the opposite, just because of the precious time and money factor. Oh well, live and learn,,,,randy

by golly,,,thas some sucking there!!!!

I got tired of our normal humdrum ceiling fan and replaced it with a Pratt & Whitney 1000 horsepower radial aircraft engine, we have to wear goggles and leather caps in bed,,,,,,,,,,,,randy

heh,,you sure that wasnt "overkill" on the censor ink and a lot of waste? randypee

Lemmee hold your cash for you, I will purchase us a "sweet" 79' CAT D-7G, totally rebuilt, of course, and you can come down in your spare time and push a tree or maybe even two over,,,dont that sound like fun? Randyp

,,,,,,,,,,heh,,heh,,and a heh heh,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Well I swear, no wonder you been having a lil shifting trouble, that truck is sposed to have a non-turbo 673 in it, well, just so happens I have one, why dont we just swap engines and get everything like its posed to be? heh heh,,,worth a try anyway,,,randyp

Wonder how many Peterb*lts are in that pile? randy

Well, in one way Im glad your back Mark, really glad, but in another way, kinda disapointed, this just means i will have to find something else to feed Spot tonight. Oh well, least you wont be talking in a squeaky voice from here on out, welcome back,,,,randyp

Well just pack your bags Thad and move on down here to Texas, we dont worry bout all at bullshit down here,,,randy

I need some old scraps of clothing or something from Vision,,,aka,,Mark. He is missing, have not seen any of his joyful banter on here in a while, am going to let "Spot", my trusty blookthirsty killer dog get a whoof of something of his and see if he can track him down. I just hope Spot doesnt mutilate, maim and disembowel him when he runs him down. Heh heh,,,spot usually goes for the testicals of whatever he is after when he catches it, duck and cover Mark!!! Randypee

check fuse

eh,,,ya,,u da man of "photographic espionage",,,randy

You and other dog would have been proud of me rhasler, snuck over to my brother-in-laws game camera one day and left him a real good close up shot of my nice shiny ass, heh heh,,,I think hes still steaming over it, I told him to grow a sense of humor. randyp
