Greentored 3,214 #1 Posted November 8, 2021 Been pretty scarce here lately folks, just wanted to throw out a quick update, since I was all over the forums and suddenly vanished. Life is good, just super busy! The woman and I bought some land to build on, so were slowly packing up her place and moving to my little A frame, which is only halfway through renovation. With the cost of materials this summer, I didnt spend much time and effort up there, which is where the Horse stables are. For some reason, Horses in this area have gone crazy as well, and I cant afford 350-500 bucks for a beat up, non running early model with missing parts, just to add to the collection. The lil booger 655 continues to see yard duty at the womans place, 'lawn duty' 1277 is taking care of the A frame, Hoss is getting more cruises than work, ol smoky 701 has been dragging the camper and boat around and fogging skeeters like a champ, and the B-1 bomber has gotten a TON of off road riding, everywhere from Ohio to PA to Kentucky, and continues to give near zero trouble. On a good note, the move to the A frame is coming after the first of the year, so I'll be in the stables a whole lot more than ever, and much more active here! ...and the new place will have a shop as well Hope you are all doing great!!! 13 4 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good to hear all is well That lantern thread started giving me flashbacks. Fortunately, the prices have gotten far out of hand or I'd been jamming more of those in the stables with the Horses haha. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harley motorcycle, shirts, vests, stickers, lunch boxes, video games, toothbrushes, basically anything that says your a Harley owner. My brothers in law have been doing this for years. I’ll stick to tractors. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ohiofarmer 3,276 #14 Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) I haven't been here much either. So many things hit all at once I cannot tell you. A pontiac Bonneville that was unfixable, but I fixed it with aftermarket BMW parts and a little hobart welder. Tenant's submersible Well pump took a sh Crap. Another criminal stole from me assisted by a second tenant. And a few more things, but all of these hit at once. Just about everybody around seems to have short fuses and insanity. Reminds me of the day i was building an upstairs addition for a farmer with a dairy herd. This guy was nice enough to me and all that, but just as "softly and tenderly Jesus is calling" started up in my head, this guy was in the barn and started hollering and cussing so loud it could easily be heard for a mile. Everybody has somethin' as they say. Went to court on a demand subpoena to testify in my own complaint, and they would not let me in even though I was eight minutes early. I could not go in because the case was being settled. While cooling my heels outside, I read a victims rights poster that stated I had a right to attend among my other victim's rights. You can't make this stuff up. So if I file a complaint about victims rights it would be against a judge who would rule against me forever in the future. Comforting thought. So we just laugh it off. We need some Christmas lights to break [hint, hint], or starlings to shoot, or something. on a positive note, the 520 snow blade horse is ready, the other two mowing horses work great....
