Tonight I get to go home, get the dog and her stuff together, drop her off at doggie day care, go home and pack and clean the house. Get up at 6 am, get ready, go to my sisters, have her drive me to the airport, fly to Iowa. Come back on Monday. Excited.

That boy is in so much trouble...

I just drove mine a half a mile to the nearest guy that fixes them damn things. He does it out of his garage. I won't fool with them. The engine yes, the rest of it I know nothing about and do not want to learn.

My neighbor Steve takes care of mine. He's a genius with most things mechanical. He evens fixes Jezebel when I screw her up.

Honestly, they are pretty easy to work on. I have a case 446 and they are pretty simple, and tons of guys have worked on them, modded them, and just did common problem fixes on them. They make it easy.

Got a damn stuck screw on a hydraulic valve spool that i cant get loose though, damn thing strips a little more each time i muscle on it.

This video was filmed in Austin. The bar that they go into, Antone's, is a place that Susan and I party in whenever we are in Austin.

He'll be lucky if he is still able to walk after I'm done with him..

So, I just got my offer. $145k on a house listed at $159. Not super but not awful either...but they are expecting a counter offer, and its a VA loan so no closing costs on their end. I have some number crunching to do when I get home.

Way 1 is it could be THAT time of the month, and your gonna take a bat to his knees for wanting that buick engine!

Way2 is that he could be in TROUBLE

I'd probably try a " can we meet in the middle?" and see where you go... if you decide you can take it at offer, anything additional you get is BTS trans money.

In no way do I try to control him though. It's his money, his projects, his dream. If he wants to go buy a motor for $300 and throw it in the garage, its fine with me, I just give him a hard time about it is all, usually laughing the entire time.
A man can never have just one project hes working on..
