I had a buddy do similar just after he got a motorcycle. Except he was showing off for some girls and ran into a truck parked on the street in front of a bar. [emoji2957][emoji2957][emoji2957] Knocked himself smooth out. Worst part was the owner of the truck came out pretty tipsy and drove...

How do you explain that to the boss [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23]

I had my pistol, and the pooch. [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369]

At our last place, I mowed the neighbors ditches when I did mine. He had two knee replacements and it was getting to be too much for him. Our current place, neighbor behind us can borrow my fork attachments for the tractor if he's getting something delivered that's too much to unload and move...

We actually had her trained by kids and we would pull random kids out of the group there to work with her. Calvin (trainer) told one kid (10yo) to run around her while she was laying down and told to stay. As well as jumping over her. Said kid had a dog there for personal protection training...

The training with the professional was to tweak her existing training plus work on recall. Normally petsmart was enough for us. But Gypsy needed a little more direction, and my wife and I needed some training to be able to handle an adult alpha female German shepherd. Like I stated before...

Gypsy attended puppy school at pet smart for yhr basics. Then we took her to a professional trainer for more in depth training. Here's the guy we used. https://www.1stmindk9.com/ Here's one of his old training videos taken around the time Gypsy was seeing him. We had her in gor obedience...

We looked into purchasing a house that had solar panels. ROI for us wouldn't have been achieved. Our last house we had an average electric bill of $135, with electric everything in the home. The solar contract was an introductory rate of $150 a month. Then increased after that...

Gypsy doesn't like the Barred owl when they get mouthy [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23] We had one in the Oak Tree above the Camper really hooting away. When I came inside, I found Gypsy tucked into the little 1ft space under the edge of the bed. She commando crawled into it...

We have a bonded pair of hawks on our property plus a Large Barred owl. I do see the occasional kitty running around though. So the hawks don't seem to mess with the cats. I saw one of the hawks flying off yesterday, out back carrying something faily decent in size. Figuring it got one of...

Gypsy is looking pretty comfy this morning [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787]

I don't have to worry about slope at my place. I just need to drive through the woods devouring everything in my path (cue evil laugh) [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji23]

The only time we're dry is July and August. The state contracts out with a company to clear brush and scrub back along the sides of the interstates as well as any and all exits. The company is pretty much exclusively using forestry munchers on a couple track hoe's. So I've witnessed them...

Thats the definition of "Irony" isn't it???? [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji1787]

Forestry muncher and skid steer to run it [emoji849][emoji849][emoji849][emoji849] That would save me some much time and energy [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

Our German shepherd is the same way right now. She comes over demanding butt rubs and leaves a Walmart sack of hair her wake [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33] Vacuumed 5 times last week [emoji2957][emoji2957][emoji2957] She just came over demanding more butt rubs. Time to get out the vacuum again...

Depends on the size of the dog. I did that with gypsy when she was a pup. She would lay on my chest, or curl around my wife's neck as little pup while riding in the truck. She lays on the floor in the back seat of the truck now. As she got bigger she would tuck to my side. And instead of...

True!!

Saw one running around town the other day. It reaffirmed my conclusion that they are Fugly!!!!!!

The photos great as long as they got it on your property. After the photo, what's stopping from snagging the package for themselves.

Years ago in high school, I took my grandfather's plow truck to an evening class. I always kept it angled while driving down the road to limit how far out it stuck past the width of the truck. I had a tractor trailer pass me and it blew me over a touch. As I corrected I saw something flicker...

My grandfather had an Black lab/ springer spaniel mix. Looked like a black lab except for a white triangle on his chest and the spaniel fluff on the back of his legs and bottom. Neighbor mentioned too me that they were out hiking out back and Poncho flushed and snatched a partridge out of the...

Ours doesn't like fireworks either.

Me neither. Those posts hit too close to the heart.

My shepherd is fine with gun shots. It's thunder that she doesn't like. One rumble of thunder and I'm being dragged back home.

Ours is a great big teddy bear [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16] She will get miffed and howl and stomp her front paws at you if she doesn't get greeted in a timely fashion. [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787] She doesn't like delivery drivers though. She can recognize a UPS or FedEx truck from...

When gypsy was being trained by a professional trainer, he suggested using chicken for the training treats. And that worked extremely well. I would buy a 5lb bag of frozen boneless skinless chicken breast's. Boil up a pound or so at a time, and then chop them into small pieces for her training...

Wednesday night men's Bible study at church. We always eat before hand so we'll do either pot luck, or themed dinner (taco night, BBQ, jambalaya, etc....) I volunteered to supply the meat this week. So some of the other guys supplied the sides for a BBQ night. There's usually 30 to to 40 of...

Are you over feeding the pooch at meals??? With our shepherd we were doing that at first, so she would ignore treats if she didn't want one. I skipped her breakfast and started using her kibble as training treats. After a day or so, she started really responding to treats and her food.

Our shepherd experienced stairs for the first time when we moved into a fifth wheel camper. She also has arthritis in one hip. Her issue (and ours) was how steep they were. She could make it up them with difficulty, but forget coming down. And me carrying her down the steps was next to...

I got 30lbs of country ribs crammed o to the smoker. Got what wouldn't fit going in a crock pot [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji1787] Supplying the meat for the men's group at church tonight. Just trayed up and doctored the country ribs. So they'll go at 250 for the rest of the...

Our shepherd loves people. But she sounded like one of Satan's He!! Hounds when the ups driver dropped off a package tonight. She loves people, but can't stand a delivery driver for some reason. I figure it's the ding dong ditch [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369]

Mine isn't either. She's extremely happy to ring a little dogs neck [emoji2957][emoji2957][emoji2957] Just walks up to it all happy, snatches it by the neck and gives it a quick shake [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369] Neighbors across the street used to let their chihuahua's and Yorkie run...

Ours is that way with the pinch collar. She miss manors with the pinch collar. She's pretty decent if walked with her regular collar. The issue though is if something gets her undivided attention (Squirrel, bunny, etc..). She knows she can tug with the regular collar so you have to have...

Ours is not good with dogs smaller than her. She will snatch them by their throats and give them the death shake [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33] Dogs her size, or bigger, she's fine with. She's a one pooch household now though for the past 6 years. So we won't bring another one in the household...

We enrolled our GSD into an obedience 101 course at the local pet store. The other pup was dumb as a brick hound pup. Our GSD used to get mad at the hound when it wouldn't listen or had trouble understanding the command [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23] Anyway, my wife and I...

From what i understand, those lockable boxes accept a standard postal master key [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369] I'll have to ask my neighbor the next time I see them. They have a locking mailbox. They said folks were stealing their mail. But we've each ended up with each others post and...

Both addresses I've had with rural delivery, the mailbox got bent. After bending it back in shape, the door fit super tight so the door flipping open wasn't an issue. The first box got smoked by the mailman's mirror. At our current address, someone went off the road in a dually and plowed...

Well..... are you programmed to sgift at higher rpms [emoji3166][emoji3166][emoji3166][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787]

Most modern ice vehicles are programed to shift at higher rpms when it's colder out to warm up everything quicker. My diesel work truck high idles for about 10 minutes to warm up quicker. Idles about 800rpms normally. High idles about 1200 rpms.

On my Sierra 1500, and our 23 Hyundai SanteFe, they are set up to shift later in colder temperatures to warm everything up faster. Works out to about a 5mpg difference in both vehicles between summer and winter months. Granted I'm hitting the auto start on the truck while I'm getting ready...

That is exactly what my daughter and son in law did at their home. They've come a long way with do it yourself wireless alarm systems these days. They went with a "Ring" system to couple with their ring doorbell. It had a couple motion detectors, door contacts, and pretty easy to add on if...

Old neighbor had twin 3yo boys who were escape artists. One would head next door to my place, the other would head the opposite direction to visit the elderly couple that lived next to them on the other side. He finally added slide latches to the top of the doors. His older kids were...

Some smaller towns have a central post office location instead of rural mail delivery.

Put your hands on the item, an set it behind the customer service desk with my name on it please!!! [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji16] I've been in that situation myself. It sucks to drive all that way and have it sold 20 minutes before you get there [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369]

Sellers waiting for their supply to come in. We've had that happen on a couple items we ordered.

Fedex, and USPS have dropped several of my neighbors packages on my porch. Neighbors got a gate going into their property to cut down the turn around traffic. It's not locked, and open most of the time. But they will close it if they start getting a lot of turn around traffic. If the...

We have two Amazon fulfilment centers as well as an Amazon large freight depot in the Little Rock area. Quite often it's here next day depending on the item. My pallet forks were here in 3 days. Same with a shed I ordered. Other things have taken a month to get here...

People just don't want to do the work. Heck, I can bring it right out to the vehicle with the tractor. Cut it to the lengh they want, etc..... I'm just not gonna split it and deliver it to them as well [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369] I've probably burned off 10 chord of wood to clear out for...

Dude, I have chords and chords of white oak that I haven't been able to give away. Nobody want to do the work to get it. Heck my step son said he wanted some for his wood stove in his shop. I told him to come on over. I got a ton down that doesn't even need to be split. He could even load...

I had a similar issue on my F550 diesel service truck. After fighting with random non starting issues, I finally took it too Ford since the repair shop we normally use couldn't figure out the issue. It would spin over fine and start most of the time. The times it wouldn't start, it would...

Go back and read some of the drivel you posted when one person posted real world numbers of their ev in sub zero temperatures [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369] It's pretty eveident that if it's not a Tesla, theily are scum. Nuff said.

I see that not much has changed on this thread. People post valid concerns and real world first hand experience and those folks get cut to shreds from the tesla fan boys [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369]

Some people who have tractors don't ever bother getting a trailer or a vehicle that can pull it [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369]

Yup, I'm gonna walk the back acreage before I start brush hogging and clearing again. I would hate to hit a shed with the brush hog or find one with a tire on the tractor.

They throw a fit if your renting a trailer to haul any more than a small car on it. Knew a guy who pretty much got tossed out of a uhaul place when he informed them he was gonna use the trailer to haul his tractor into the dealers for some repairs.

The size of the deer really depends on where you are in the US. Most everywhere in the states they are decent sized. Deer in Florida are smaller than my German shepherd [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Yup, we seen a pregnant doe back in early spring. The other 4 deer with her darted off. She waddled down the hill picking her steps very carefully like a pregnant women due any day with triplets. We saw her this summer, and realized she had twins. They've recently joined up with 7 other...

I've had a moose slide up my hood and had it's booty smeared against the glass [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji33] My thought at the time is "Lord!!! This is a sh$"ty way to go!!!" Thankfully I had gotten the truck slowed down enough that all it did was track the glass and cave in my hood...

My wife handled a dilemma the other way really well. She was coming home on the interstate during a snow storm. She crested a hill and had 6 vehicles stopped as well as a big rig in her lane. They had wrecked and hadn't moved from the travel lanes. She left off the gas and eased over...

I couldn't tell you what it looked like. I do know they had to order a special tool to drill the frame and the supports were bolted and welded into place Edit: I was able to find a photo of the brackets that get installed. Looks like they turn the frame from a C channel to a boxed channel in...

I've seen them in action. We have a pipe manufacturer in the industrial complex i work out of that makes the large green pipes you see heading out to those large pipeline jobs. When the trailers set up correctly, they can handle some pretty sharp turns. But I've also see a couple that had...

I heard about this about 30 years ago. The gal who told me about it, her parents had that feature in their 3/4 Chevy truck. And ironically enough, they were big into horses and were constantly pulling a horse trailer. From what she said, it made it super handy when trying to snake a trailer...

I remember talking to a gal at my girlfriends college about 30 years ago. Her parents had a GMC 3/4 ton that had rear steer in it. She said it was super handy when backing up to their horse trailer. Usually the purpose of rear steer is for a tighter turning radius.

I believe by remote control. And would assume by a passenger in the pilot car following the trailer.

He just camped out at the food plot last night. Here he is at 1am. But he was still there hanging out when I left for work this morning at 5:30 am.

Some mechanics are gentler than others [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

I've used the snot out of mine.

Wife's car came with one of those racks, plus a few other goodies that people usually order as an add on. We have the rack, but never installed it. We'll probably never use it [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369]

I had someone on a different forum call me out on mine. I was pretty happy with them. But apparently needed to pay three times more for them and needed some where the forks are even with the back rack instead of in front of the rack [emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369][emoji2369] I purchased them...

Their extended warranties aren't worth the paper they are printed on though. I haven't purchased anything from them for a couple years now.

We had a guy pull into our yard at work. He was in the wrong place and needed one of the locations behind us that is accessed by a side road. He asked how to turn around in our yard [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848][emoji848][emoji848] This greatly confused me since we have 7 acres of asphalt...

Probably claimed he had 20 years experience as well [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23]

That ain't just the northeast. I've had serious communication issues with some drivers who have come to our yard for a load.

My bet is the driver was sent packing as well.

My German shepherd loves to go for rides in the truck. I have to give her hind end a boost so she can get in though. She puts her front paws on the floor of the back seat and then looks back waiting for me to lift he back end [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23] I just lock my hands...

Dude definitely wasn't a math wizard [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji1787] Wife and I stopped her step mother from doing similar. She was fixing to take out a 20yr note on a small RV and was looking at a similar payment.

I have a lap top with universal software for my equipment put out by diesel laptops at work. We licensing for off road equipment and highway trucks. For giggles I went out and hooked it up to my F550 diesel out in the yard and checked out the software. Boy, someone could get in trouble...

I just know what I've seen with the 23' ecoboost at the shop. I spent a half hour trying to find a tow haul button for it. Finally pulled it around and plugged it up to our trailer and it popped up on the display about going into tow haul mode. When I unplugged the trailer it went out of tow...

I've mentioned this here before. Several years ago my neighbor called me. His first words were "I swear I haven't been drinking....." He then goes on to explain that he has a wild turkey pecking at his front door. And for my wife and I to sneak across his yard and up to his front door. Well...

I haven't had experience with that setup. But I have with the ecoboost. You will notice an issue with towing since the V6 doesn't have the low end torque that your used too. You have to spool the turbos up to get the pulling power. On a side note, one issue I noticed with the fords. The...

I've been in a few of those cars and owned one on that list. The Buick Encore. The Encore was similar in size the the Nissan Rouge, and a few other brands. Had a Kia soul and a Chevy versa as rental cars. The soul wasn't too bad to drive and surprisingly roomy. The Versa I rented for...

I have a 20ft wide driveway and had to lay blocks in the ditch for them to be able to make the turn into our driveway when we had our 36ft fifth wheel camper delivered. We needed about another 3ft of width. [emoji2369][emoji2369]

Pretty much all modern cars have this. Except it's called "Lane Assist". I've shut it off in the vehicles when I drive them. The car will fight you if your easing over to go around something in the road, or moving over to give room for something on the edge of the road. The new dodge...

I made a large batch of chili and corn bread for the men's group at church Wednesday. I mentioned that I would take the left overs home and freeze in individual to go containers for lunches at work. My buddy took one bite of the chili and cornbread, looked at me and stated, you won't have...

60" probably won't cover the tires if they are in the widest position. Dealer put my tires on in the narrow width and they are a couple inches under the width of my 60" rotary cutter. One of these weekends I'm gonna rotate the tires around to the widest width for stability. I'm not concerned...

I do the majority of the cooking in the house. It started with me getting home an hour and a half earlier than my wife from work. So it made more sense for me to get dinner ready for the family and eat between 6 and 7pm versus 9pm if she fid the cooking. I take Thanksgiving week off from...

My wife and I are fixing to build a home soon. The issue for us is finding the floor plan that meets our wants and needs. House is gonna be 2 bed, 2 bath open concept for the living space. Roll in/ walk in shower in the master bedroom. This way it's easy to convert to a handicap bathroom...

My brother runs a 72" woods reverse tine tiller on his L2501 w/ hydrostatic transmission. Thats the same pto horsepower as the 1825E. You just go slow and let the tiller do the work.

There are articles that quite a few of the pre-orders were refused when they became available.

Congrats on the new tractor. I have the same tractor and absolutely love it.

I do like those conveniences. Anyone with kids knows how frustrating it is when they bail out of the car leaving the rear window down and you can't reach it from your position. And your in a spot where you can get pit, walk around, and roll it up [emoji849][emoji849][emoji849]

This really depends on the size of the tractor and implements your hauling. My Grey market L1501 fit and hauled best when backed on. I could drop the bush hog wheel on the chain box, and the loader even with the tailgate. It ran nice and smooth down the road. My trailer 16ft. I really...

Probably not long before following Rivian. If people weren't gun shy before, they probably are now after seeing what Rivian customers are going through. After seeing this article, I sure would be reconsidering purchasing a vehicle from them.

Yeah, I was quoted over $100,000 for an engine swap locally for a customers equipment. I told them to hash it out between themselves and leave me out of it [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I have to be careful on my 6 acres. It's relatively level, but occasionally with clearing, I'll find an old den or other hole covered in twigs and leaves that a tire will drop into.

Talked to my coworker about the kitten the other day. His daughter is pretty much the only one that can feed it. Eyes are doing better but they figure it's still blind and gonna remain that way.

It depends. I've had them go either way. Depends on where it is on the cycle, cylinder position, if it's on all cylinders, or just one. As well as horsepower of the engine. The engine wouldn't spin over twice, before it finally did and fired. Thats a classic hydrolock scenario.

It's not the starter motor bending a rod. It's another cylinder firing and bending the compressed rod in another cylinder.

Starter motor stalled the first couple tries when the OP tried to start it. Third try, it fired. That excess fuel/ oil in the cylinder compresses against the valve preventing it from opening. Thats how it gets bent.

Our car will match speed with the vehicle in front of us when set to cruise control. I had to switch the following distance down to one car length. We have some rural 4 lane roads with little traffic. What happens is I'll go to move to the hammer lane to go around someone I'm catching up...

Have you determined exactly where the the leak is coming from??? Heck, it could be a bad o'ring on a boss fitting, slightly loose hydraulic connection.... anything. What reservoir is low on oil???

Neighbor who has the cattle across the street has started leaving his most ornery and temperamental bull out there. Especially when he has to leave equipment or one of his trailers there. A-holes will come by in the middle of the night and steel anything not welded on. I heard a commotion...

I encountered on odd problem with mail theft back close to 20 years ago when I lived in Florida. I was installing alarm systems at the time. I was at one customers home for a service call when the home owner motioned for me to look out the living room window, specifically at his mailbox...

Thats a pretty good indication of a hydro lock.

I came home the other day and found a really large box on our landing for the ramp to our home. Box was labeled 80lbs. I happened to be on the phone with my wife, so I asked what she had ordered??? She stated she didn't order anything. So I looked at the tag and realized it was for our...

We did that years ago. Fire up the spud gun and blow stuff up [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] Alcohol may have been involved [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

We got some rednecks in the men's group with a penchant for explosives [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848][emoji848] i might have to bring this option up tonight [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

We had a Makita hammer drill that would toss you if you weren't patting attention. I loaned it to an electrician and told him how to hold it. He had the 20yr attitude and wouldn't listen to the "Kid" that had drilled about 600 holes with it that week so far. [emoji849][emoji849][emoji849]...

[emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

By eliminating that one bolt, it saved them $3.

We smoked one with our jeep wrangler 3 days before we were to leave on vacation. We were planning on driving the jeep. We got lucky. It scuffed up the driver side fender flare, and left some poop and fur on the front bumper [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

Yeah, they would confiscate everything from your gun to the truck, throw you in jail and lose the key.

I remember one of my dad's friends hunting in PA about 30 years ago. He had both buck and doe permits. Well he saw a really nice doe pop it's head up behind a log. He shot it. Then it pops up. He shot it again. It pops back up. [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848][emoji848] He does this 8 times...

Doesn't it suck when someone writing the manual is dyslexic [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23] Buddy had an old Bronco jacked up on 44's with a Hurst shifter on the floor. He decided to do a tune up. Instead of getting the plugs, plug wires, and distributer cap first, he pulled...

I've been seeing a pretty good sized buck on our property. I saw him going after 4 doe a couple weeks ago. Once the flash light hit him, he dropped down into the tall grass. We spooked him out when we walked down the neighbors driveway. Couldn't count the points but I could make out the...

We did it last year when they held flannel fest and the chili cook off at church. I'm hoping they do it again. The men's group made large sling shots for the pumpkins. The kiddos had a blast. They guys did too since they had to test them [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23] We...

Look back at 2009 when we had the housing crash happen. It was for the same reason. Homes values were artificially inflated. What happened was a metric crap load of strategic foreclosures.

Folks have done similar for the past few years with home purchases.

He must have been bitten by an adult copper head. They tend to be a dry bite. The vet did similar for our Jack Russell Terrorist when he was bitten on the snout. They dosed with a broad spectrum antibiotic and steroids. My grandson got bit on the heal by a baby copperhead when he was 6yo...

What about those folks that recently took delivery of the $100,000 cybertruck. Tesla is having people refuse delivery of them with the price dropped to $78,000. Prices have been coming down over the past year or so. Cybertrucks have been out now for what???.... 6 months or so. I'm...

Ah, but your ratchets are still 1/2", 3/8", and 1/4" drive [emoji13][emoji13][emoji13]

I guess it's really based on perspective. We had a 2000 sqft home that was 3 beds, two baths. Master bedroom was huge, second guest bedroom was perfect for a queen sized bed. Last bedroom was perfect for a small kids bedroom or office. We actually used it as an office with a day bed in...

It was really hit and miss. It depended on where the storm rolled through, and how much damage it caused. I've been through some storms where we didn't lose power, but had a gas shortage for a week or so because the port was in the path of the storm. I've been through other hurricanes where...

I wouldn't worry about rust proofing on either. Corrosion in the wiring for the battery feed on an EV would be my worry since isn't that the usual cause of an EV fire??? Corrosion causing a cascading effect in the battery

Ice really plays havoc with traction on the steel tracks as well. We had a 1950ish deere dozer when I was a kid. Dad welded spikes to the tracks for traction in the winter while we were using it to log. If not it would just sit and spin.

The big truck pumps trip for my service truck if I go full tilt. I have to click it to the lowest setting and hold the handle sideways. The biggest reason I will hit the big truck side is DEF at the pump. It's $4ish/ gallon versus $20+ for the 2.5 gallon jug of def fluid inside the store.

Squirrels are pretty good at gorilla warfare [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

But you can get a great deal on a newer vehicle at the salvage auctions. That's how my daughter got a 2yo Kia Telluride for $7,000 with low mileage. Her husband is a certified Kia and Hyundai tech and worked for both dealerships in town for several years. So he had the vehicle shipped to...

From my experience in Florida. They are gonna be without gas or diesel for a while. Fuel comes into the state from the port. Then gets distributed throughout the state. Port gets shut down during storms like this, so no fuel shipments. Then as a station does get fuel, they will be sold out...

That's a really crappy situation for those folks who purchased a vehicle from them and who are now stuck. With the company going under and not standing behind their vehicles, those people are stuck with a boat anchor. The vehicle is worth pennies on the dollar for a trade in. And to add...

The truck bed on my service truck was made by IMT. But I'm thinking way separate companies. The company that built the bed is actually Iowa Tool and Molding.

When we got our German shepherd, she was the size of my hand. I took a weekly picture every Friday night with her laying in my recliner to document her growth until she was full grown. It's amazing when they are really little, how much they grow in just a week.

Hit the semi side of the truck stop if it's not loaded with semis. I pumped 100 gallons in about 5 minutes into a fuel cube the other day.

New Holland and LS are made by two separate companies. LS is manufactured by LS Mtron in Korea. New Holland is made by CNH industrial N.V which is head quartered in the Netherlands.

A few years ago, I got an odd call from my neighbor that started out with "Now I haven't been drinking...." But you and your wife need to sneak out your front door, and come in along the side of my house to my front door!!!! Be really quiet and move stealthily [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]...

I was in an F250 regular cab, short bed, that was converted to a dually and painted flat forest green and flat black. They shortened a long bed for a dually and slapped on it. So the flares started about an inch from the cab [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji1787]

Try it with a pallet of concrete in the bed [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] I've only driven one truck that would do it. It was fugly to look at, but fun to drive [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji23]

My wife had to drive the truck for three weeks while her car was in the body shop. She figured out real fast why I'll pull through park when I can or back into a parking spot. She also realized why I try to avoid drive through as well.... or so she thought...

Pretty much every modern crew cab truck I've driven has the turning radius of a school bus.

My last truck was an extended cab with suicide doors. My issue was as the grandkids got bigger they didn't fit in the back seat. So this round we got a crew cab. I can fit a rear facing car seat back there without much issue, plus fit the 15yo grandson and the 6'5, 17yo grandson back there...

I had those on my 04 f150. They were decent. And I liked the extra space behind the seat. The con, was the fact that I'm tall, the section where the two doors met, blocked my view.

My old Grey market kubota had one. It was in kilometers [emoji2957][emoji2957] But at least I could do the conversions. I have no idea about the travel speed of my Massey.

Years ago I was sitting in traffic waiting for a light to change during a thunder storm. Lightening struck the pole right next to me blowing a transformer. That scared the daylights out of me. My foot came off the clutch when I jumped in my seat and I almost hit the vehicle in front of me...

Yeah, we had a transfer station get wiped out by a squirrel knocking out power for a day or so. They bussed in a used part from somewhere and got us back up. But then about 2 months later the used part had a catastrophic failure. We were out for a couple days until they could replace it...

Squirrels offing themselves by shorting out transformers and sub stations is a common occurance around our area. I haven't seen a chipmunk around here. Lots and lots of squirrels and flying squirrels though.

We have a lot of sub contractors working for entergy running around our area. So I wonder if you experienced similar and why the repair crew was from Mississippi.

I learned not to do that from tractor forums [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787] I'll carry the saw out by hand, do what I need to do, and set it in a conspicuous out of the way place when I get back on the tractor [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

Yup if it's at an auction with low hours, then chances are really good that they've been sunk and flooded.

Been clearing out more slash a brush on the property. Got it cleared to the side property line and even with what we cleared last year before moving onto the property. .

Found them!!!! [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] You not alone. I had a customer bring their loader over with sand so we could shovel sand around wellpoints we were getting into the ground. Customers employee jumped into the loader and went and got another scoop of sand. He forgot to leave the...

Yup, they are very fat and happy in my area. Plenty of wild feed for them. It's also to legal feed and bait. So they have plenty of choices for food. They just had a weekend only velvet bow hunt a few weeks ago. Bow season started this weekend I believe. Muzzle loader start in two weeks...

I did my good deed for the day. I was working on a piece of equipment and heard faint meowing coming from another piece of equipment. I went to inspect and found a 2 to 3 week old kitten in rough shape. Her eyes were swollen shut, lips really dry and covered in black carbon from an exhaust...

Yeah, I ended up having to put a neighbors dog down since it was being aggressive and scratching cars on my property. They got right in the middle of it. I ended up spending a few hours in a holding cell charged with cruelty to animals which was later thrown out of court. That night after...
