Cougar, stay safe and as dry as you can. Bob, you too. Seems like when some of us get great weather the others get some form of extreme weather.

Loggers , that work in swamps use what they call mats , they are made of rough lumber and can be set down one in front of the other , if you put some down & get it up on the mats and as you move forward pick up the ones behind and put down in front you can get it out !
a lot of work ,however it will work & is cheaper than the damage you may cause trying to drag your rig through the mud .

just a thought .

Hey you buzzard - - good to hear from you. Put the hot water on for ya. Yep, been there and done that. Got a total of 14' so far doing just that. The mud is so soft and slippery it is a fit trying to stay on my boards. I will re-tackle the problem Monday morn with 3/4 ply under the truck and 8" boards buried down to the buried tires creating a ramp to bring it up slowly as it creepes forward - - - at least that is what it says on the drawing board. We will see - - gotta get that sucker out. Can't use a wrecker - - don't have hooks and he will tear the front end off. GGGRRRRR

love your fuzzy math, slev but you missed about 20 years heheh.
If you´re trying to tell me that I´m not 20, but getting close to 40....I can´t hear you

Not that you´re all that wrong, I just don´t need to grow up
Hope all the guys in the water makes it out ok.

Evening all.
Ran up on one coming home from Atlanta this afternoon. I can't find any details yet but the semi in the median seriously tore up a car or two on the est bound side of 20 at the Coosa River bridge.

It has rained every day since and it is pouring right now. Just came in and the roads were sheeted with water - - had to take it easy. Our pond at the ranch is now flooding the and house is surrounded by water. Barn is about 8" from having water come into the floor. Yet the stupid coyotees sit in the water about 75' from the porch and just watch waiting for a cat to come out. Well, two of them are not longer waiting as of Tuesday night. My daughter tooks lessons on the pistol and nailed two and her neighbor got 5 more the same day. In spite of all the rain and flooding they are coming close to find small livestock, a baby pig, guinea hens. The panthers took down a 1 week old calf about 50 yards from the house a week ago. Been very active out there lately.

Hey, time for night night - - be good and see ya morry.

Bob
Bob, I've got a 270 that can reach out and touch the skittish ones.

Don't wait, leave now.

You can use a wrecker if you hook the truck to it first, but pull gently and still use the lumber.

Chris, nice pics. Looks like "Jr" is right at home on that horse.

Saw an interesting accident this afternoon but couldn't get a picture of it before I got by. A Ford F350 dually pulling an enclosed GN crashed. The trailer was laying on it's right side and the hitch was supporting the truck, by holding the rear tires about 2.5 feet off the ground. In the rear window of the truck.............a "for sale" sign. I hate somebody crashed but the set up was just funny.

Evening all!

Hey buddy. I's not too bad over here, how bad something seems is depends on how bad you may have had it before. Some may think this place is terrible, but I'm ok. I should be here until late feb. Nothing to repair... Guess the media hasn't been told the truth... Nothing left to repair. Ever seen a beer can left in a fire all night? Yeah, no drinking. I'm trying to meet Capt. Wales, doubt it will happen.
