mrsmackpaul Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 LOL, long time between hair cuts these days Nah the bull catcher isnt my photo I'll try and find a video of bull catching The government eradicated TB in Australia in the 70's All the buffalo got shot out and every cow in Australia was tested People lost whole herds of cattle I tried growing my hair long and it just fell out lol Working on a cattle property in the Burnett as a young bloke the other stock man convinced me to let them shave my head as it would thinken it up All pissed as nits, blood running over me left eye because the drunken bums cut a bit deep Oh to be young and silly lol And yeah I done some of this maddness as a young bloke The older stock men years ago would run bullocks until the got knocked up a bit then jump from the galloping horse and swing on the tail of the bullock and pull him down Apparently if the bullock was run to long he would get his second wind and you would end up in a screaming heap Water buffalo were different and much much bigger and only wanted for their hide, the stock men would gallop in front of the big angry buffalo and shoot in the head at point blank range with the 303 My balls were never big enough for that When choppers came out a the lot of a lot of the silliness happened Mind you I loved living this style of life and when cook is going crook at me, my wanders back to when I was young and day dreams all while trying to look sorry for my wrong doings lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBWhite Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 lol that's video is awesome! The "tough guys" around here still do everything the "old fashion way" and wind up getting mangled. But the fat chicks love it! You guys down there in Australia have had it figured out, we just like wasting everyone's time playing cowboy. One LandCruiser should do the work of about 10 guys on horses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I reckon the first catchers were 40 years ago Choppers were still only fairly new to station work so a couple of cruisers with armour plating and old truck tyres on the front were used to push the big cattle down and pin them A lot of bruising resulted and then the wonder of all wonders, the arm went onto grab them around the neck I notice these blokes are grabbing them around the belly which probably even leaves less bruising Only use these on really wild cattle that have never seen man horse in their life Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol JT formula, he's the car guy on here, had the GMC General, said the average retail was $12,250. My car guy here who was going to sell it for me said he was going to put $10,900 on it, and JT said that would be a good price. We were going to put the money towards the Nissan, but we still put 20 down and they gave her 24 for the CR-V, so we did ok. I know I'll take a beating on the F150 but there's no reason to keep it and keep paying for insurance and taxes on it. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Brocky Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Great Idea!! SC Law reads good for show, parades, AND "road test after service"... That covers a multitude of sins!!! Including going to the dump, Lowes, and hardware store, as well as Sunday ice cream cone!! 2 Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66dc75 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I've git antique plates on the Acar, R model and my 57 IH those are insured by Hagerty for $430 a year total. The B model pickup is insured through Grundy full insurance ("classic car") about $150 a year and they did not require me to use antique plates. I can drive that one any time I want. I guess they figure it's a low exposure situation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackpro Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I’m willing to donate my Jeep to a new Hamms advertising campaign. Had some great pics but they won’t load. Had to do a quick pic.

Literally bought it from a 75 year old lady that couldn’t get in it anymore, garage kept with over 200,000 miles on her. Almost like new . Bought it on a whim and led me on a quest for another that led me to a 2021 Gladiator.
