Actually Tony, I’m not sure we would need to bring any more food. I think we would be covered.

You guys are starting to worry me with all this talk of responsibilities and such. I thought it would be a cake walk, now I’m starting to wonder.

I just wanna go on record and say I'm not responsible for anything I do tonight.



I got my 32oz tumbler, and a cooler of beer for later.

Y'all have a good night.

I read the two stickies that GLRUFF posted in the volunteer thread. Didn't seem like all that much is there something I'm missing?

Wanna grab dinner next week?

i ended up dropping the trailer off at the mfg... problem seems to be on the trailer end since its having issues with multiple vehicles not just mine... came home poked around in the trucks fuse panel (found a few fuses that need changed because theyre waaaaaaaaaay to big)... pulled the reducer from my receiver hitch to weld some tabs on it (tired of it sliding further in when trying to put the ball mounts or winch in)... after that was just fixing the landscape timbers around the garden... of course it had to be hot as could be today...

Today in this heat I removed the mower deck from the garden tractor and installed the rear garden plows on the hyd 3 point hitch and plowed the garden for the wife.
The disc plow never worked right so I tried plowing in reverse and it worked as it should. Either the directions were wrong or I cant read?
I flipped the discs around and now all is good for fall plowing.

I also used the rear plows to break up dirt (sand) at the holes the dogs dug. One was so deep I got the tractor struck where not even the diff lock could get it out. I had to dig it out.
I then put the front 4 way plow on and pushed & back blade the holes to smooth them out. I have more holes around the yard but a hand tools should work for them.

We have 2, black German Shepherd mix and a black & tan coon hound.

We also foster dogs and have a 4 moth old jack Russell mix, that thing is all over the place!

Trailer is loaded, Escape is almost loaded, and we head out early tomorrow morning for our final walk through at 10am, then off to closing at 11:30, then unload the trailer and take it somewhat easy tomorrow evening. Then back at it Saturday morning, and again Monday morning.
About worn out.

Wow, just reading about loading trailers is making me tired.

Ya'll don't work too hard.

Sucks about the flood waters there Shawn. Sounds like a good time to wait and rest.
