I just let Phillip mow the lawn. Once a guy uses one of our mowers, it never works right for me again.
These sacks were 50 lbs each. The dog food sack is 55. I shouldn't be picking up anything over 20 lbs, but I'm just too stubborn, and shit has to get done.
Use StarTron gas additive in your lawnmower/tiller gas and no more troubles.
My walk behind is a self propelled rear wheel drive that adjusts itself to your walking pace.
Nice but not as nice as a rider
Especially when mowing non lawn rough areas.
Evening Old Pharts, had some bastard tromp through my garden to get to my trailer to try to steal it Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, of coarse it was an area that was already planted so I will have to re- till part of it. I have my ball bat setting right by the door and have been watching for them, sure would feel good to get a few swings in. Haven't been feeling too good last few days either so if they come again I will relieve my tensions on them.
Might feel better if you lived in Texas. You could relieve tension by putting a couple 12g slugs in the thief, as long as you could say you felt threatened. Way to many trailer thieves!
Weather guessers have been saying rain here for the last 2 days but none yet, imagine that.
They got the rain forecast wrong for 4 days in a row. We got some last night that was not forecasted.
Yeah but that's too fast i want them to feel pain for at least as long as I did tilling it, you are so right there is way to many trailer theives.
That figures, they need a new dart board
Get some darts. If the thieves don't return, the weather guessers can use them.
I keep a master lock on my trailer coupler.
#12 shot then.
I got a couple lock on ours too. Plus, you hafta move vehicles just to try to pull it out. The wheels are sunk up to the rims in the dirt.
yeah mine was that way in a dirt floor shed.
When I pulled it out I found flat tires and rusted rims that would not hold air.
Wirebrush time and primer and 2 new tires later rollin again.
Had to mount the tires myself as no place would since It was for a trailer but I put regular tires on it.
Weight rating is good so no problem.
Had to get the trailer going since my little pickup burned up.
Only steel and some bits of aluminum that did not melt left.

Walmart sells wheels for ours for about $70 apiece, rim and tire. It just don't make sense to try to put it on blocks or anything, because those will sink too. The trailer Jack is 3 inches deep right now. Gonna be fun to get out when we need to use it.
Ahh but I built my trailer. Good one with springs and everything. But hubs are non standard. Came off of a Crosley I think. Had to torch out some 14 inch Ford rims. The center hole was a bit small.
Ours came from Harbor Freight. It's basically a cheap lightweight piece of crap we can haul stuff on.
My frame would handle a couple of tons or so. Would need to put bigger springs on it though, just have 1 ton springs on it.
Tires are good for 1,300 lbs each so no worries.
I do not like to pull over a ton without brakes on the trailer.

Didn't know the pickup got torched too. Hope you find another....they are certainly handy. Just don't let anyone know you own one.....
After a day in the shop, buzzing plastic in all directions, I just got my dirty body out of the bath tub -- gonna spend most of my day tomorrow at Ft. Meade V.A. Hospital and thought it would be nice to show up squeaky clean.
You get that plastic all cut today?After a day in the shop, buzzing plastic in all directions, I just got my dirty body out of the bath tub -- gonna spend most of my day tomorrow at Ft. Meade V.A. Hospital and thought it would be nice to show up squeaky clean.
Ordered me a Buck special edition 110 with 5160 BOS steel. It's been ages since I got a decent knife. I certainly wouldn't consider another SS blade that won't hold an edge.
I have another pickup but not running right now. 72 F100 short bed.Didn't know the pickup got torched too. Hope you find another....they are certainly handy. Just don't let anyone know you own one.....
Then I have a 65 Ranchero too but it needs a full going thru.
body is great but has been sitting for 15 years.

Inspected a 25,000 sf office building today....which would usually have about one A/C unit for every 1500-2000 sf. This building had 46 heat pumps....couldn't believe my eyes, thirteen package units, the remainder split system....needless to say, the job took MUCH longer than expected, especially searching for the air handlers - indoor coils above the suspended ceilings.....
Love those older F150's....damn good trucks...!

good luck at the hospital.
And with everything in your life of course.
PITA though has power nuthin and a racing clutch....
Woodpecker mufflers
F100 not 150. And short bed Kinda scarce.
Evening Robert i am going to have to, never had to worry about that in this area but now I do
First time for everything.
Sorry, I missed the F100 part...indeed a rare breed, especially if it's in decent condition....!PITA though has power nuthin and a racing clutch....

Evening DaleEvening phoks....had a long day, but the temperature was really nice, about 80...humidity had to be in the upper single digits or low teens....the breeze almost felt chilly.....
All cut, taped together and glued. In a couple more days, we'll take the existing cage outside and clean it real good, then insert the new floor with short walls to keep the chicken shit off the carpet.
My mother never used to lock up the house, until someone stole the TV and a box full of video tapes. They also took binoculars, and a trinket I made. The guy got busted that day, but my mother learned to never leave the house or go to bed without locking up.
Just semi-annual check up, routine labs (vampires always gotta suck my blood), and the annual optometry visit.

I can't believe people still have carpet in their homes, considering the dust and bugs that are always in it. My allergies would go nuckinfutz.
have not had any thieve trouble since I ran a van load off by firing 5 fast shotgun rounds thru the trees over their heads.
I am sure they all swore that I was shooting at them
Word got around apparently.
"That crazy old man will shoot you!"
Carpet is warm on the feet in the northern climates.
don't want that poor chicken to get cold little feet do ya?
So are slippers.
Well, we found this tiny baby chick a couple years ago and no chicken would claim her, so instead of letting her die all alone, we brought her in the house and raised her, then realized we could not put her back in the coop or the other chickens would kill her, so I built a bigger cage and she has been a house bird ever since. People have parakeets and parrots... why not a house chicken?You really have that inside your house?.....
That's what I call a Farmer....!!
You need chickens, they'll eat the bugs.....!
So will the Yorkie. He's pretty good at getting rid of rats and mice too.
Good condition even has a solid tailgate
Needs a bit of work on the rocker panels and around the fender wells in the bed but otherwise nice.
Glad it was not in the shop...
Would rather lose the Toyota.
I remember when I was really young, we had a couple chickens and ducks (for no particular reason). I really liked the damn chicken. They're smarter than most people think.
