I dunno......

Pretty strange stuff.

I was cruising youtube the other day and came upon car crashes. Lots of them are in europe.

Does every one in Europe have a dash cam in their car?

Some of them were filmed from the side of the road but there were a ton of crash videos filmed with dash cams. Are they set ups?

Jim

I think a lot of them have to be set ups - folks are too far removed from the food chain with too much time on their hands!

Brown bottle flu?

Good haul Wilbur!

Great photos and great logs!

Not that I am picking on your spelling but thats a Windsor engine for further reference.

You have better driving skills then some of the adults I know.

Thanks - I really, really wanted to correct the little shaver, but that looked like so much fun, I just could not bring myself to do it!

Social Security was set up to be locked and not touched except for the people who payed into it. LBJ allowed the government to "borrow" from it for his Great Society (welfare) program. We now give Social Security to any boby whether they contributed or not.

As for touching your pensions,IRA's and other monies...the health care plan allows any government agency involved in it to do "real time" (electronic) transfers money from your IRA, Pension and Bank accounts for "fees and needed costs" with out permission. It was part of the obamama care IRS Fee (tax) but was upgraded to include incidental costs. So your pensions, IRA's and direct deposits are all ready "theirs"

I do not believe ANYBODY in government understands that the R.R. pension, Union pensions and most corperate pensions are not Federally controlled or contributed too, only taxed.

"movie stars" opinions? Believe anything from diviates and dopers?? If they were not "actors" they would most likely be "Occupy" people. I only respect 3...Clint Eastwood, Jimmy Cagney and Gary Cooper.

I agree - I place no trust whatsoever that I will have any sort of retirement left when I get to that age. I am vested in a Teamsters joke of a retirement, social security, and I have a IRA. I bet they all get raided and spent by someone else before I can touch them in 20 years. I plan to work until I die. That is what my Grandparents and everyone before them did. There are worse things in life. Farmers are supposed to live poor and die rich, that way your kids and the church you leave it to get a nice gift.

My sons just gave me a three disc set of Clint's movies: Fist full of dollars, A few dollars more, and The good, the bad, and the ugly. We are hunkering down about 4:00 this afternoon and starting the show.

Terry Bradshaw is looking good these days.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

By the way Jim, that photo Hat posted is NOT Terry Bradshaw.

I am impressed with anyone with rails laid in his yard! Now you need to go buy a Kershaw and wash the grass out of the ballast!

dammit, i'm going to post a funny picture! It's a rerun from last year, and it's Mack truck related..

That damn blue car resurfaces!

Fight that attraction! Spend your time and money on a MACK!

Mike -

I am not going to make it up, but "shade tree" Tommy that you met when we were by your place is coming up Saturday. I will have him look you up and buy you a lemonade!

I had a guy come by yesterday from Iowa and buy some loader forks. He saw my Macks and he said: "you know, there is a guy up by me with a whole farm full of Macks" I knew right off who he was talking about!

I like the color - do you always drive it with the hood up? I am not used to these new trucks.............

We are going to see it this weekend. The blushing bride gave me a book that Dinesh D’Souza wrote on Christianity that was excellent.

I don't think we will know until it sells.

Hey! Those Carolina Davids know how to read a calendar!

I forgot when it was selling..........

Looks like this guy had a number of classics. Olive, this loader would look good in your driveway. I like the JD Round Fender with a tiller.

I am not allowed any equipment in my driveway. The rule is that everything has to be behind the board fence surrounding the house yard before nightfall. If not, the blushing bride heads to a hotel with a spa until it is moved.

I wonder what the superliner brought?

Lookin' shaaarp Vinnster!

If your pee is as red as that truck, you have problems - just don't post a photo of that.

Getting back in the truck today gonna move a couple loads around see how I feel. Woo hoo!!!!

Man - you just got a big WOO HOO from here - that is great news! Don't push too hard at first. Let us know how it went.

Glad to see the H was finally saved. Id have bought it years ago if I could find a guy to deliver. Whats your plans with it?

Jay - I don't really know, I am just trying to punch a few more holes in the must have MACK alphabet!

If Ray can't go get it, I may head down there and pick it up in person, the seller really seems like a nice guy and he has a lot of other goodies he is wanting to sell. It is about a two day trip, but I have never been to New Mexico, so I might try it this winter.

We are so swamped with chopping silage and trying to keep water in front of the cattle in this drought that I had not even thought about this truck for the last month. I have not even been on BMT for a week, but I am taking the morning off so I can get caught up with my Obama jokes of the day!

Here is a link to an auction in Bird Island MN on Sept. 13th for a Superliner:

It would look good in anyone's driveway!

Smart guys wear straw hats!

Dave I sent you a Message

Mike -

I never got it unless it was one of those messages that only cool people can read? That pretty much leaves me out if cool is a requirement. I once heard that it is harder for most folks classified by society as "cool" to make it to heaven, so things may not be as bad as they seem?

Back to the silage field I go.........

The blushing bride thought we had the swine flu the other day when the boys and I got up early and cooked and ate three (3) pounds of bacon. About 10:00 all that pork belly in my David belly did not feel so good......

Hello OTR,

Now that you are doing some harvesting, how bad is it in your area?

In this corner of the world, a few are going to get a second cut on hay but not too many.

Jim

Jim - The crops are awful here. But I am making lemonade out of the big ol' lemon this season turned out to be. We are chopping all of our corn for silage (which was the plan from the spring anyway). A lot of my neighbors don't have cattle or fences anymore so I have been going around and trying to make deals with them where I get their drought ruined corn to chop as well. That has been a great help - I am at the point where I can feed my herd all the way through next May without having to buy any feed other than mineral. There is no hay around here whatsoever. This spring I bought 200 big bales from a neighbor for $30.00 a bale and he delivered them. The same guy sold some last week for $80.00 a bale! Things may get kind of weird if we have a bad winter for a lot of folks that did not buy their hay earlier.

I look for cattle prices to soar next spring if it greens up and we have grass - farmers are having to liquidate their herds and they are turning a lot of good young momma cows into hamburger right now that would have had babies next spring. There are fewer cows and calves on feed around here then I have ever seen. If we have another year like this one next year, I might have to give it up like a lot of folks are, but I still wake up thinking there is hope right around the corner!

Olive, wheres Volume 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ETC?????

I go out every morning at 6:00 and hop on my trusty horse tractor and I head to the field to chop silage. I get in around 9:00 and hit the sack and hopefully the new babe lets me sleep. No time for pic postin' right now!

He can say "more of a red" all he wants, but that thing is PINK!
