    new ground

    Rocky hayland will cost you a bundle in repairs of a haybine.You may pick rocks on surface, but frost will heave many more up next year. Willows are there because the ground is too wet for anything else. You may be getting stuck and rutting it up when clipping hay in spring. Previous owners...

    What kind of tractor?

    That is probably the ONLY thing that has not shown up in Sturgis. Or has it??

    ok, some facts about our solar system

    I once had a supervisor that argued very strongly about the costs I was incurring with having a garden. He added up the costs of a rototiller, hand tools, seed, fertilizer, lime, cost of my pickup to transport tiller to and from the 4 gardens that I maintained (rent-free on others land, I might...

    ok, some facts about our solar system

    I find it rather ironic and hypocritical that some folks that grouse about the initial cost of solar or wind energy will think nothing of spending $40K for a diesel 1 ton dully pickup truck (which depreciates $10K the minute you drive it off the lot)! Perhaps it is because they know deep down...

    Intellegence -vs- education... are they equal?

    It all depends on where you look for intellectual stimulation LOL!! Personally, I have a MS in wildlife management, which was necessary to pursue my career as a Wildlife Biologist (now retired). However, I can and do find equal comfort in hanging with folks with or without a degree. I fully...

    Front wheels on old tricycle tractors

    I was just looking at an old Silver King tractor on the photo ads and I have always wondered why they designed the front wheels way out in front of the chassis, instead of directly underneath. Was it to increase wheel base? Seems like it would be terrible strain on bolts holding them in place...

    VA

    It takes me 6+ months to get an appointment with my cardiologist. When I went to local hospital with chest pains, it took 7 months to get appointment to have catherization. It takes at least 6 months to get appointment with my ophthalmologist. Above are all civilian doctors, I have never signed...

    35 loads hauled and probably 80 more on the pile

    Hauling manure 2 miles down the road reminds me of a story here in Virginia of a new female State trooper that witnessed a farmer spilling a little s**t on the road while hauling. She ticketed him and returned to ticket him again and again. Finally someone over her explained the facts of country...

    GOT TO GET TO WALKING

    Spring is the best time to get motivated to get out and about. A nice slow walk outside to enjoy the flowers and clean air will do wonders for your body, mind and soul. Hang in there!

    A question on western/cowboy manners

    Those headcovers came ON in the house". Funny, I am a Navy man, and I always thought Marines followed Navy tradition. Navy mandates headcovers are never worn indoors, and we never saluted without a headcover, thus we never saluted indoors.

    Still wondering what happened to the .22LR supply?

    "Makes me feel superior" "I don"t give a rat"s ___" "To each their own" "Do gooder elite abundant" Christian conservative? I have never read those type words in the Bible.

    Cliven Bundy Ranch, Nevada- Opinions??

    My understanding is that the Feds will put a lien on every branded cow he tries to sell at auction or contract. So they will get their share one way or the other. Best to handle this is economically rather than with guns. Guns only exacerbate problems, they do not solve them. But this event is...

    Cliven Bundy Ranch, Nevada- Opinions??

    I know very little about Nevada land taxes, but this situation begs the question that say, if the BLM lands were sold off to private individuals, how would yearly land tax bill compare to BLM grazing fees? Bundy seems to respect county government, would he pay county land taxes? Would they be...
