Way to go, my thoughts exactly!! Good to have everyone post!! Tell MEXSTAN we're not just coffee anymore...


NATE! didn't know horses were allowed in Minnesota? can they swim?
went through three times (lakes or 20 below winds) j/k, beautiful country!

T-Rad, your better half looks just that..glad you sleep with your best friend! your eyes have that 'wild' look though, I am sure you make her laugh!
the two of you together might be one Charlie Daniels too
He played a set at Attica state prison in '82, outdoors. I got pulled off my job an assigned to him for 'protection'. (my name was daniels and I was 100 pounds skinny) Who says bosses can't have a sense of humor?


Way to go, guys for doing projects and such today- hope the weather holds for you!

Watched CHAIKWA and company actually run the JV firesetters program and
having played fire instructor,cop, prison guard, judge; was very impressed that the program was almost one on one mentoring ( not that Scott would teach them how to torch a place ) extremely balanced and beneficial; rare in today's 'sign the paper, show up and be done' programs for helping our youth. Seeing how the JVs there responded, Scott should toot locomotive style! wow.

MADHAT! hope all goes well today with truck! shake it loose, buddy boy!

I am sipping foo-foo and looking at projects I am NOT gonna do today, cheers! time to relax, FRONTY- enjoy the vacation without tools!
Alright fellas, enjoy

 

And WHO would know betta than YOU!

Um, is there more to this story? Maybe we don't wanna know!

Thanks for the kind words Heidi, but you did pretty darn good with 'em too! The idea of handin' the withdrawn kid Jake's leash was brilliant! I've done that with him twice since!

Oh, and go easy on that f00-f00... I've seen what it does to you!

Awright you pitiful slackers, the afternoon is on, ready and wastin'!

DTR WAKE UP CALL. BE ON DECK IN 5 MINUTES!!!
What is this??? I'm the one that has to put the coffee on? I have been commended on my coffee making skills, but I don't use the old sock. (Sorry Chaikawa)

 

I'm tellin' ya, these people are gettin' sorrier an' sorrier every dang day! I think it's time to call a meetin' with everyone and review the company rules~.

THe sun is finally shining here after 5 straight days of rain. Looks to be hot for our drive back to Michigan on Thursday.

Ok, the REAL coffee is ready. I gotta go scare kids... I mean, TEACH kids about fire safety!

I'm here, my Monday on an actual Monday, hmmmm.

Picked up the tanks for the torch I inherited Friday, and got the donor/project jeep home. I thought it was gonna catch fire when I got it back. The guy had replaced the calipers but had stripped one of the bolts and it was hung up. I only had to drive it 2 miles at 15 mph with a friend following and the plastic bumper was hanging on the wheel, so it wetn unnoticed. Mowed all afternoon yesterday and played with the torch and bent up some tubeing for the road armor on the blazer. Not really getting a lot of donations anymore towards the welder fund though.

 

Wow, you have friends? Good deal tho! I guess you must've found a new regulator if you're already playin' with fire! You NEED to take a few pics of that tubin' you bent so we can all see it!

chaikwa.

 

I will when it's on. It started to fold slightly, but I just went slow and spread the heat as I went along. I picked up a new regulator, but hadn't realized it was med. duty, so it's smaller (smith). I only got medium tanks though. Started modding a wagon from tractor supply for a welding cart. I cut part of the floor out and started a sub frame to stand the tanks in it. I need to add some frame up top with a section of dog chain to secure the tanks, with a hanger for the hose. I'll box in the front section for brushes, tools etc. The back section is just big enuff to put a wire welder on later. And the handle will attach right to the back of the lawn tractor, in case Jerry needs to use it.

 

I was just kidding, I hate those things. Makes me feel all angry and stuff...

Mornin... Had a good day yesterday. Played ball with my kids at the parent/kid game for the end of the year party. I did not mean to, but I smacked one out of the park. NOT MY FAULT!! The coaches 13 year old son was pitching the heat (he's pretty good, too) and I was not about to let some 13 year old strike me out. Sooo, I had to swing harder... Stupid win or die mentality... Stupid Marine Corps that put it in me...

Might not get on the dyno today, it might take a few weeks. Stupid scheduele... I'll still try, but it don't look good.

Ya'll have a good one. I'm about to warm up some left over steak and have a little mid morning snack...

 

And that's different... HOW???

Geez... It seems like very little have changed... But I'm back!

Hey janitor where is the coffe and doughnut this morning???

Good Morning to all you DTR fans out there... I'm back in action! I proud of my moment on the rollers and got me some nice numbers!



Yeah my truck has changed a bunch since you guys seen it last. I'm also a Captain of a fire station now and maintenance crew for 24 fire trucks. So my pickup kind of shows it now with the red light now and the tons of stickers on the windows...

 

OK i`ve been sitting in the bushes reading the mail every morning now i`m going to toss in a question.
Moral mushroons reproduce from spores, if i make a bed in the green house ,why can`t i grow them there? how am i going to collect the spores to plant the mushroons ?
By the way ,Janitor i cant drink coffee but i make a pretty mean cup of tea in a sock . have tried it with out the sock and it just isn`t the same !
Claude

 

Come sit over here... I've got all kinds of tea... Some that are very tasty... Like chocolate mountain, Earl Grey, Etc...

 

When I was over at redleg`s a cupple weeks ago we picked some morals in his yard, I`ve got a cupple large morals in my yard that i havent picked because i want to get the spores to grow more . any ideas?
Claude
By the way when i dont use a sock i have to kind of chew the tea, I like it much better strained through my sock !

 

Oh sure, you been gone Lord only knows how long, and the first thing you say is "Where's the coffee"? No "How ya doin"? Or "How ya been?" Just "WHERE'S THE COFFEE"! I get no respect I tell ya!

'Tea'...
REAL men drink coffee! And what's with all those flavor's? I suspect because tea is so tasteless to begin with ya gotta add some flavor with something more palatable! Real beverages, (like my coffee!), don't need anything added to them!

And yes, a sock is the secret to success with anything that's brewed! Preferably an old used sock!

Speakin' of which... 's ready!
