Rained Out

admin

Just another feeder in the works.  Got rained out today (that shiny stuff ain't paint, it's wet metal)Probably the only thing of interest will be some fitup/tack pics, and some overheads.  Pretty boring stuff.Kills me to leave the hood up like that, but it's the only way to keep the truck from becoming a rat condo."Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/

Reply:Dam..wheres all the snow?..lol..its gona be another month before I can even see the ground  here...Of all the things I lost I miss my mind the most...I know just enough about everything to be dangerous......You cant cure stupid..only kill it...
Reply:Samm, here is what you do about them rats.  Bait them with bacon scraps...Just toss it in inside bottom of fan shroud and shut the hood...Add a little tuna if wife's cats pester you too.....Ease out there tomorrow morning and start the truck...Problem solved.
Reply:Ya, we don't get too much snow here.  More precipitation over where blueriver is.  Southeast part of the state is beautiful, lots of water.  I'm in the middle part of the State, drier over here.Anyways, guess it's a good day for boat drinks, not much else to do.Boat Drinks???????????????????  Little explanation in order I guess..........There was a good movie, back in the day.  Took place in Denver.  I spent my young days in Denver.The opening scene takes place as the dooood's driving across the old Brighton Boulevard Bridge.  Was a steel bridge dating back sometime to the 1930's or so.  It's gone now.  I used to do a lot of work below that bridge down in the Denargo Market, a produce market.  Lotta trucking down in that area, and it's all gone now I think, or at least moved.Lot of other places in the movie are gone now.  One nighttime warehouse scene was in the parking lot in front of the old Denver Post paper warehouse.  I used to pick up gigantic paper rolls here for the newspaper presses.  All paved over now in the name of progress.Anyways, for an explanation of Boat Drinks, and Buckwheats, ya gotta see the movie.  A great old gangster movie with Chistopher Walken, Andy Garcia, Jack Warden, Treat Williams, and others.  Treat Williams does the roll of a lifetime playing Critical Bill.  A must see if you're into older movies.  Some of it is corny, but overall it's a great movie.  Christopher Walken doesn't disappoint So.........."boat drinks" gentlemen.  Gonna do a few myself.  Max wandered away from the house on Saturday, and never came back.  We think a big cat got him.  He'd been barking at something out in the pasture for a few nights previous, a really almost frantic bark.  We couldn't find him.  He was a very gentle dog, not like Clarence and Henry, if it was another animal, he probably didn't stand a chance.  If it was a neighbor..............still remember that Henry was poisoned.  All the old timers have mostly sold out around here, and we have new crop of people in the area, and I really don't trust them."Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/

Reply:Samm, here is what you do before you deal with them new generation neighbors. Watch the movie, "Bad Grandpa". You will discover just how much you can get away with as a fellow old man....Works fer me

Reply:One has to be prepared on days like these.Nuff brew in the fridge.  DVD player warmed up for later (some totally non family friendly inappropriate sorta thing), and plenty of Orville's Movie Butter Popcorn (in lieu of a proper supper), and confirmed plans related to you by SWMBO that she's maybe going out to dinner tonite with her kid (she hates to be around the house when I'm in the liquid mood when something bad's happened).  I try to be cheerful, but my malaise is gonna seep thru, and I hate to burden her with it, although she's been pretty down about it the last few days.Just so happened that Beer Nite came at a sort of bad time (or maybe appropriate time)"Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/

Reply:Sam hope the big cat didn't get ur dog.  Just came from what used tobe a bi machine shop.  My budythat ran it is 70.   He inherited a lot to f he machines from his deceased father in law.  I looked at a mill was 20 ft tall and spindle went up and down horizontal.  The 3 machine operators t hat were left in there were in Older  that he and I.  I thought one of them was dead. He moved  so slow.  I have been knowing him sice I was young back in early 60s.   Said he couldn't f one  anyone that wanted to work not even his grandson. Getting to the point  every business I went to this morning to get something from all my old friends had died or were retired or in nursing homes.  All the counter guys were in too big a hurry to wait on me said they had customers.   One finalaly said he could help me.  I told him what I needed.and rudely he told me I must be kidding.  They really didn't  have time to fool with me.   I have spent over the years several hundred thousand  dollars with that business.  I left with my money still in my pocket.   They had customers.   I felt lost.  Ask my friend that had the machine shop what was going on.   He is business savy. Always in on the know. He said everywhere he went everyone was too busy to wait on him. Said the new guys that was buying the farms around him always wanted something.  But could never return the  favor.  Told him was same way around my farm.   Most new guys buying up farms around here were professionals and they were in it totally for themselves.  All about them.  He said they dance to a different song. Didn't mean to ramble on you Sam but I know where you are coming from on the progress of this country as everyone becomes cultured.     Richey

Reply:Originally Posted by wornoutoldwelderLife in an emotional vacuum can be a regretful experience if you spring a leak and just anything finds it's way inside. I spent almost 20 years sealed up inside submarines or below the waterline inside destroyer fire/enginerooms....On subs, there was 700PSI outside the hull and 14.7PSI inside., so it was as vacuum-like as possible in there....In that environ, I learned to keep the water out of my people tank, and love out of my heart...And in that way, I've managed to remain online and ready to answer all bells.

Reply:Used to have a guy across the road, he's dead now, and his grandchildren have made a mess of the place, who kept a jar of squeeze in his shed (for times when the shed was a good alternative to the marital bliss which existed within the confines of his humble abode).  He always offered me a snort, but I kept to my Bud's (probably the reason for my mostly fully functioning self these days)"Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
Reply:We had some memorable confrontations about our dogs when he was alive, but he'd never kill one.  He would of happily killed me, but couldn't of raised his hand against a defenseless animal.  Luckily he never killed me either, but we had some interesting conversations either in his, or my, driveway over the years.  Was a good man overall, cancer took him.One day the UPS dooood delivered a package to my place by mistake.  It was colostomy bags.  I had to take it across the road to my neighbor, was a bad day for me.  He died of colon cancer a few months later."Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/

Reply:I went the other day to the parts store ... got to the counter and just as I started to tell the "kid" what I needed the phone rang ... he took the call a minute later hung up ... I again started to tell him what I needed phone rang ... again a minute or so later he hangs up I AGAIN start telling him ... phone rings he answered it ... I reached over and and mashed that little phone button and the call was cut off ... He says "HEY THAT WAS A CUSTOMER ON THE PHONE!" I says "Really? And what the hell am I?

Reply:Them guys that call the parts store are as stupid as the guy behind the counter that answers.I ain't NEVER called a parts store, but I've stood like you and waited like you while they answered the phone. Used to be there was an owner or manager in some back room that handled all calls, Today's franchise storefronts don't pay nuff to hire anyone to handle calls and all the background details associated with supplying shops and independent mechanics.We all the same when we stand in line at the counter. Just hope the "associate" behind the counter ain't a single mom with kids calling and juggling her love life drama over her cell phone AND she is wearing a manager's name tag....It seems they today only exist to sell the same auto stuff you can by at WalMart.
Reply:What's really sad is when you stroll in and finally get to the counter and plop you broken item on the counter and ask for a new one...That's when they stare blankly at let's say a common 4 pin style bosch relay and start the clickity clackity computer stuff where they ask your your phone number and zip code...THEN, they ask you exact year and model and if it is 2 or 4 wheel drive....and you say, "Man, I dunno, just give me a new relay cause they all the same."...And then they say the computer won't let them drill down to that particular part unless they have all that info and they can't even ring it up unless they use computer to identify it thru the drill down process....So you leave there with a new can of Brake Clean on sale and without your relay then head to NAPA where so far the guy behind the counter takes one look and returns with correct relay.Parts books, my friend, are a lost art.  It's all computer nowdays.The books were user friendly, and the nincompoop could at least see a picture on the opposite page that resembled what you plopped on the counter.  Now the moron just sees one page at a time on the screen, and doesnt' have a clue"Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/

Reply:people wonder why more stuff gets ordered online. You go to a "parts store" and a minimum wage flunky pecks at a computer and after about 15 questions says I can have it in a few days. Well hell i can do that. And yes samm New Holland sucks with there parts. Always nice when you are looking for part a that goes on part b but yet its not listed with part b it is listed with part f.Millermatic 252millermatic 175miller 300 Thunderboltlincoln ranger 250smith torcheslots of bfh'sIf it dont fit get a bigger hammer
