Need time to dry out between them. We've had it pretty good lately, just enough rain to keep the soil moist, with time to dry out between rains. I'm hoping it stays dry over the weekend. I'm heading out west Sunday. One of the Nebraska guys owns a junkyard in Chapman, Ne. I'm heading there to pillage a 79 -150 4x4 he has for parts.

Been able to get a little dry time between them lately, but it had been tough to get things done for a while...

Still have some that haven't gotten fields planted around here, which is getting pretty late again. Some waited until spring to harvest, which of course put them behind getting planted. It was tough earlier, now it is getting late... not sure what their particular holdup is...

Nope, 88 F250 that I run until I can get my 86 back up and running properly again... it is basically now an old farm truck by condition... Trying to bring it back up to my standards, which are considerably higher than my sister, I take care of my vehicles. If I want to have a vehicle retired, just let her have it for a while, and it will be finished...

She ran this truck for a while with the front worn like that, but can't seem to find a way to pony up to fixing it. She had it for about a year with the front worn when she took it. She is one that if she personally doesn't own it, she doesn't seem to think she needs to pay for anything for it. Technically, it is my dad's truck, and he lets her get away with it...

It's taken me 7 & 1/2 years to get to my total... it works out to be something like 1 & a quarter posts per day. When there's nothing left to say, apparently I don't say it.

Being a chapter leader does require a bit more posting, but Steve and Pat are overachievers...lol

But in their defense, they have jobs that make it possible, and more likely...
