Good morning guys.

Looks like a wet day today.
We need the rain.

A neighbor told me yesterday that we have a bobcat in the area.

Good morning everyone.

It doesn't normally go this quick Josiah, but my stuff was delayed a couple of months before finally going through.

Morning guys. Been real busy at work and home lately and have completely forgotten to stop in. Finalizing some thing for a new job I hope to start at the end of the month.

I have taken delivery of the new truck, but I brought it back yesterday so that they can send it out to have the bed sprayed. I should have it back again by the end of the week.

Morning all.

Must be animal week. We used to live on Chippens hill, Bristol. Minors farm was in our back yard and it had gone to seed. One day we saw a young bobcat sitting probably about 1 foot tall. When we moved it was full grown and sitting probably 3 to 4 feet tall. It never bothered anybody, but pet were missing. On weekends it would sit in the shade of some bushes and just watch the people in the yards. I think it was all the rabbits on the farm that feed the cat. We also had 6 coyotes, 20 turkeys, 4 or 5 deer, and spring and fall a lot of Canadian geese. Was told after we moved they relocated the bobcat.

No, I've got to shop around to see if anyone still does under coatings or not.

Good morning guys.

Greg - Fluid Film works great Greg. You just put it on once a year.

I'm going up to get my annual krown treatment in Sept.
If you're interested, let me know.
My truck has zero rust anywhere.
It's far more comprehensive than
just spraying fluid film all over it.

What is it, where is it, and how much does it cost. I am very interested.

I've heard of Krown, and the videos I've seen look promising. It's a Canadian company IIRC, and I always thought it wasn't available down here.

Wow Minor's Farm! Small World. Used to work with their son Mark. Helped out on that farm on several occasions in the 90's. Spent several weekends working to rebuild the wood deck on the bridge spanning the creek that ran under their "driveway." Used my truck and trailer to haul about 75-80 rough-sawn 4"x10"x10' Oak planks from a saw mill up in Vermont. Man they were heavy.... all of us ended up with one or two smashed fingernails after hefting those boards around.
