Got a new bucket for my skidsteer today. 1yd bucket for loading mulch on trucks. Didn't notice til I was taking pictures that it is currently missing a bolt-on cutting edge. I'll probably run back up to the dealership for an edge tomorrow.


Is it bad that I get this excited about a new bucket? By the way it fit PERFECTLY in the bed of my truck. There was maybe 1/2 inch from the front of the bucket to my toolbox and 1/2 inch from the back to the tailgate. Guy at Bobcat of CT did a great job of loading it. Too bad they sell Bobcat junk there...

 

you haven't lived til you have gone over 150 on a bike...just sayin

the GTG is Saturday and yes my daughter and one of her friends are coming with me!

 

Good Morning All.....


TGIF!

 

I'd agree totally, but then, that's how I'm put together. And not just in a straight line either... I miss trackdays where you're bending in to a turn at 90+.... I've driven a car to 140mph and it's nothing like a bike. Maybe it is the danger factor a little, or the fact that you must be totally involved in a bike.... In a car, especially an automatic... set the AC, put on your favorite music, press skinny pedal on the right side. wheeee....

I used to watch Indy car racing MANY years ago, and then I saw World Rallye racing... WOW!!! Rallye cars are ripping through forest roads, snow, rain, gravel, asphalt... lose a wheel & tire and they don't stop! Roll the car? Push it back on the wheels and go go GO!! THAT is AWESOME to watch. Indy... well.... I can watch a retarded dog chase it's tail - circle circle circle... lacks the intensity and challenge of going so fast that you need a co-pilot to tell you where your next turn is because your speeds are so fast that you need to be moving the car for the next piece of road as you're in the current one. Not like "Oh LOOK!! Another left turn! Who'dathunk!" If you enjoy that, so be it, it just is sorely lacking in variety of challenging conditions to suit me. Driving a car doesn't require the focus of a bike.

As for my comment about the police getting upset... well, from personally knowing many police officers, it always bugged me when they'd talk about going 100mph+, not in a chase, or even on-duty, and nothing ever happened to them. Pulled over maybe, but ticketed? Arrested? Forget it. Never happened. Make it joe/jane citizen though, and you're done for. Not all police are that way, but plenty are, and it's BS.

I think I'm a little angry today... hmmmmm.... I'm gonna go run to burn off some energy. Hope y'all have a great day!
