randyp Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Took a long trip with Killer dragging dozer out on big giant large oversized ranch yesterday to repair a remote, and I mean REMOTE lake dam. I swear if im lying, Im dying, Killer left highway, turned into pasture, and i bet we went 5 miles over grass, opening and closing 46 gates, crossing small washes, scattering coyotes, etc. what a trip! randyp musta drove by 35 dried up ponds too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyp Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 washes finally got too deep for killer and had to abandon him and continue on tracking dozer through resin weeds and critters,,,randyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randyp Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Dead cow in a dried up pond, shoulda brought Spot, he woulda like that, coyotes had him outnumbered though. Hope they dont eat tires off Killer abandoned way back there on prairie,,,,randyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randyp Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Sounds like a longgg but Fun day!yeah, was an interesting day. Dozer is prolly not the perfect touring machine. Just glad the Commanches are no longer a problem. i wouldnt have enjoyed being tied to a dozer sprocket wheel and being burnt to a crisp. They wouldnt have been very proud of my lil ole scalp anyway. randyp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slpwlker Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Yeah it definatley is not fun tracking all over the place on a dozer. Hit a good rock and get bounced out of the seat a few times. Alot of wear and tear on the under carriage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhasler Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Looks like the west is still wild. How did you know where you were going?He had directions from the rancher."....then ya turn left at the dead cow, pass 34 dried up ponds, at the 35th dried up pond turn left again, then yer gunna go straight fer a stretch 'til ya see a couple big coyotes under a tree, well you'll be wanting to shoot at them coyotes, but don't do it, their all that's keepin' the wild hogs at bay. Just after ya see them coyotes you turn left again and pass through 'bout 40 gates, then your gonna turn left again at the wash..." 1 Quote "Mebbe I'm too ugly and stupid to give up!"

randyp Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 I did run into a feller in middle of prairie, he was walking and carrying a yellow plastic fuel can. I stopped and axed him if he wanted a ride and he said "No, Im in a hurry, I was test driving my Volvo, and ran out of fuel." I asked him if his name was Rob, and he said "No, my name is Bob, but I got a cousin up north named Rob, he likes Macks and gorillas though." randyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ain't seen that SOB since he let one of the shop cats get pregnant, and left in a hurry with the toilet stopped up. This just after I threw him a twenty to go get me some fuel. Come to think of it, my yellow fuel can is missing too.He must be the reason the gorilla left and headed your ways down south. Coincidence eh? I think not.Rob 1 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
