Sign me up for a spot next to Ed's house on your island, Jim. Then I can harass him all the time instead of just online. Make sure your island is easy to get to with a diesel tanker. We'll need quite a bit every week.

My brother and I mounted the new (To us. 50 hrs and it's an '02) welder on the service truck. It was as simple as undoing the bolts on the trailer, lifting it off, and setting it on the compartment of the service truck. We're going to mount the bale chopper on the welder's old trailer. Then we can have the bale chopper in tow and load the truck bed up with bales.

I've had enough of this freakin rain though. 25 or 26 rainy days in June and like 3 or 4 so far in July. I'm starting to grow webs between my toes!

I put it under the drivers side back window. Easy for me to reach, not all that obvious and it works perfectly.

Yea, I had it with losing those magnetic deals under my truck. I think I went through 2 or 3 of those. Never get under there to make sure theyre still there and when I need the key its not there or its pitch black and I cant see it because my flashlight is IN the truck!

Ahem.......Do I get to be on island?

I need to go see that movie. I am hoping I can have a date to go to movies with....hint hint
going with Ashley or Holland just kills the snuggle factor. They also are the stealers of the milk duds and I just cannot have that. So hint ...date...hint

Michaels daughter did rip my heart out. I don't think she looks like her dad in any way even before he changed over.

So how is everyone this evening?

You can see his pic in my album. He so rocks our world. Bomb proof. Just a great animal.
25 is kind of young, ain't it moose??
blue was 37 when he fell and could not get up and we put him out of his misery.

he was a registered quarter horse, and came to live on the farm when he retired at 6 years old. we stopped riding him after his back started sagging so bad that you did not need a saddle. that was around 27-28 years old.

for his last 10 years we had to make a "mush" out of his oats/molasses because his teeth were so worn down they were basically non existent any more.

actually my guy is very old for a draft. he had COPD for 3 years and was on major meds and that also took a toll on his. It ages them a bit.

Thanks for the offer Jim but Id have to decline, Id just ask that you buy my store, so I can move back to MD...This whole thing down here is killing me.
