December 2014 all topic thread

Hello all,

We have finally made it to the last month of 2014. December! I hope everyone has their Christmas shopping done, because it is only going to get worse the closer it gets to Christmas!

Jim

howdy fellers-long weekend came and gone, Thanksgiving was great and we have plowed through most of the leftovers at the Maltman household...

1/2" of rain here yesterday-it was really coming down in Ripon...noticed a few more holes in the shop roof too!

I don't know why the wont use the structure, well besides the roof pitch and direction built, so a Galvanized structure to fit is being Installed, it's high off the ground so they have to use Man lifts and being in the Pasture those slick tires and low to the ground lifts are bound to be an Issue and that doesn't explain why not do this in August or even in September and lets try to get it done when the worst moth of rain . I'm a pretty Mello dude but any longer and they will see some Apache come out have a good day guys

Tonto means stupid in Spanish? Learn something new everyday. I am sure they had another meaning for it back when the Lone Ranger was on.

Just looked up Tonto on Wikipedia, and it states it means moron or fool. In other words stupid. LOL. Also says in Spanish speaking countries, he is called Toro. Interesting. Never knew that his name meant anything until today. Guess the old adage is true that you are never too old to learn something.
