Ironworker arrival

[4shorts]

My apologies Don / Paul, yes it was Paul I was referring to.

Things are good here in the valley, great year for apples, even with some farmers experiencing damage from Earl.

I finally got a chance to get to Newfoundland last year, we visited with the family of a member we lost when Cormorant 914 crashed off Canso a few years ago during a night training exercise. A beatiful part of the world!

Mike first of all I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I remember that chopper accident. Terrible stuff my friend. I lost a good friend on the cougar chopper crash off Newfoundland so I know what it feels like for sure.

Glad you enjoyed your visit to our province. Nova Scotia is an equally beautiful place. I have a sister that lives in Halifax. OH and those apples are amongst the best in the world. Earl gave us a break over on the East Coast of the island. That was one of our best weekends this summer.glad you got through it OK but I did see you had some damage over there.
Thanks again for your kind remarks on my work. It was very nice of you to say so. :thumbsup:

What, no charging station setup? I noticed the tractor is nicely waxed. What do you use on your tires? I am not crazy about Armourall. Thanks for posting- always something fun to look at.

Varmint what do you mean "No Charging station setup"? You know I do. Have a look! That was one of the very first mods I did with the tractor. I haven't waxed it yet this summer. Soon will though. here's a pic of the tire dressing I use. The tractor always look clean because it's only used for snow clearing and our snow is pure white
The tractor hasn't seen a gravel road yet. I retired my old truck and replaced it with the tractor and that's why it looks clean all the time glad your enjoying the posts. I always try and post a photo or two to try and keep it half interesting Thank you for posting as well :thumbsup:

There's an update on the IPhone. I just had to put an Orange skin on it :laughing:

Do I forsee live, on locaton, realtime posts from, shall I say, the eye of the snow storm this winter?

That'll be cool....from a warm cab. :thumbsup:

No posting while plowing though. Make sure to pull over first. We need to keep you around for a while yet Paul.

Dang, I just discovered this thread. More wonderful stuff from "The Rock."

That 'Crazy Cart' is too cool. My neighbor's archaeologist daughter should see your collection as it would illustrate what things look like before the sands of time literally and figuratively cover artifacts up.

Now if you decide to get into glamor photography Paul, these two women are top notch in the field. The first one is about 20-miles from me, and the second one is in Alberta I believe.

Good advice Cyril. I almost got run down the other day on the wing because a young girl was texting while driving her Jeep. I did track her down and tell her I was not happy about what had happened. Yes I did report it as well. I was very lucky. She was all over the road like a drunk. I seen on the news the other day that a young fellow in New Brunswick was texting while driving and ran into a rock wall and was killed. Very serious stuff my friend.

Matt how do you find these links? :laughing: Nice ones too I might add. If my wife seen photo's on my camera like those I'd have nothing to pee through instantly :laughing:

Thanks for posting buddy! :thumbsup:

I learned of Iman Woods from a local TV station story. The Astoria photography studio I learned of from one Iman's blog's.

OK, now you've done it. I'm going to have actually go and open those links just to see what's there.:laughing:

They're clean, very tasteful, and wonderful art.

Yes very tasteful and very well done but remember how things can go around here. What we think is fun or great to view can be seen in a different light by some. Remember when I posted the decal I posted on my zero turn? I got rapped on the knuckles about it by a moderator and was told that other members could take it as a threat and it was deleted . The only way it could have been taken as a threat is IF you touched my zero turn :laughing:

The down side to it was It %$^* me off so bad I left the site. Yes I came back after 6 months but I'd be gone for good if It happens again. There's plenty of sites out there. I often wonder if the moderator watched Bugs Bunny in his life. I won't post the photo of the decal on this site but here's a link to the decal.


The flickr photo site thought it was good. They embedded a smiley face in the link

Bugs Bunny is one of my heroes Paul.

If the powers that be have a problem with pictures made by two very talented women...well as you say, there are plenty of other sites for me to hang out at.

Now that's funny :thumbsup:

Paul: I can see how the moderator might think the images are a little extreme. Still, leave the thing alone, no problem! I had to check out the whole series of pics., and I want to know how come the mower never gets used? No grass clippings, no dust, no scratches where there should be scratches, like on the hitch plate? Too **** clean! Probably not even a sign of dried grass under the mowing deck. Probably the blades are freshly painted. I did notice some normal looking trailers (used and not sparkely clean) and such lurking in the background in one pic. which is a bit reassuring. I guess you have too much water up there on the rock- I can't afford to waste our precious well water on cleaning up equipment, much as I want to. I have a really similar poly garden cart, but mine doesn't have stake pockets- nice feature! Plus, it looks pretty used.

Oh man bugs was just the greatest. My Dad and I would sit down in front of the TV and laugh our heads off. They took it off TV for awhile because they said it was to violent I see it's back on again so someone smartened up. :thumbsup: I was never happy when they put the road runner on with Bugs though.

Oh come on! Man I don't see it. It's a darn tractor site for god sakes. We're supposed to be tough and ready to tackle anything. Are tractor owners that sensitive?
If we get that sensitive that we can't look at a decal and see humor in it then maybe I'm in the wrong place. There's much worst that could and have been posted then that. The more I think about it the higher my blood pressure goes

As for the zero turn. I keep it clean. Part of ownership for me is enjoying looking after these things by keeping it clean at all times. Been like it all my life. When I ordered the mower i ordered the optional front folding hideaway jack for it as well. It make it easier to clean the deck and well worth the $200. it cost for the thing. As for water usage. We don't have any water meters on our town supplied system. I can see the day when we will though.

The little trailer comes in handy as well and works great with the zero turn. I thought it would be difficult to back up but it's actually easier than if it had conventional steering.

The other trailers you see in the background are used a good bit. One open trailer is used to put my scrap in and when it's full I hook on to it and go dump it. No mess around the shop doing it that way.

The other closed in trailer is a driveway sealing machine I built a few years ago and is used to coat my driveway. It has a 5 HP Honda engine, an aluminum holding tank and a pressure pump for applying the sealer. Works very well. Helps keep the place clean looking. Thanks for posting.

Your equipment looks fantastic! Esp those Kubotas. Now I gotta start
thinking about washing my tractor....

No water metering, hunh? Interesting. Believe-it-or-not, in our county,
there are some folks on rural land with their own water wells who have
meters and get charged by the Water District for their own usage.

Anyway, keep up the interesting posts.

I have all five or six DVD volumes of Looney Tunes. Each volume contains 4 DVD's. I always liked the roadrunner, and how a simple bird could outwit 'Wile E. Coyote - Genius' was a riot. I especially got a kick out of the fake Latin species names at the beginning of each toon.

One volume had Whoopie Goldberg begin each disk telling us how politically incorrect these cartoons are. I yelled back at the TV, "Shut the frak up Whoopie!" and then skipped over her preaching on subsequent disks.

Agreed!

Now I know 'The Rock' has plenty of water. Until last year it was illegal to capture rainwater in Colorado. There are still some restrictions on what for and how you collect it; but at least you aren't breaking the law like a common criminal now.

You're making me work to qoute this one.:laughing:

IMO, that law is nuts. That would infer that the state claims ownership of any and all water that falls from the sky. My first reaction is to ask if the state has had any aquafers or resivoirs before last year? If so, then technically, they've been breaking their own law.

Laws like that bother me, because under the same type of pretexts they could also claim ownership of the air on your property. I don't see something like this happening, but technically if a state claimed such ownership, it could charge you for breathing it's air.

Thanks my friend. I like to keep it all clean. I've always been like that. My two sons are the same way as well No water meters around here. To tell the truth I wouldn't know what one looks like I don't know what's going on these days even around here. We're supposed to have some of the purest water in the world and plenty of it and the stores can't keep bottled water in stock. I can't see why it's like that.

Please see interspersed comments.

Matt IF you ever get to see Whoppie you can tell her she's in big trouble if she comes to Newfoundland after saying those things about Bugs Bunny!

One of my favorite lines by him was when he walked into the general store and threw that Hugh diamond up on the counter and said "Gimmy a couple of carrots and keep the change" :laughing: Oh man that was funny!

I've always prided myself in not being envious of another person but man you had to derail that didn't ya. You got all the DVD's on Bugs! Trade ya a orange tractor for them

MY thought exactly Cyril. Good lord. I never heard anything like "your not aloud to catch the rain water". Watch out guys your government might just start taxing you for every bowel movement you have soon. I thought you guys lived in "The land Of The free"!and you can't keep your own rain water

Hey. IT"S THE WEEKEND!

OH darn. I got to work in the morning. Helping a friend out but that's OK

 

[zman007007]

Great tractors, home, and work you do Paul. But just one question. If the water is that great there why would anyone want to buy it in bottles if they could get it free from the spigot?

The only reason I can see is that the towns here use Chlorine in the water and some folks don't like to see it in the water. I've seen our bath tub turn green in places at times because of the amount of the stuff they use in the water but everyone involved said it's at a safe level. The funny part about all of this is that tests have shown that the bottled water sold was not spring water but tap water and people still buy it. I don't know but have always said it's crazy. Thanks for your kind remarks and post .

That's exactly what the state claimed...that they owned the rainwater that may run off your property and into a river, or migrate through the ground to replenish an aquifer. That's the problem with living in a semi-arid state where water isn't as abundant as other parts of the country.

I'll have my people call Whoopie's people and give her the warning about not coming to 'The Rock' because she was chastising Bugs and his pals.

I always liked the following two quotes from Bugs, "Of course you know this means war" and "What a maroon." A cabbed Kubota in exchange for my Looney Tunes DVD's...deal!

SHHHH! Don't give Ritter and his probable successor John Chickenpooper (Hickenlooper) any ideas about taxing the air we breathe and taking a dump.

I was thinking "The grass is always greener"...

...or in this case, "The water is always purer".:laughing:
