Did you look in a mirror this morning?
Now that you mention it, didn't DTR have a joke of the day eons ago?

WHAAAT ??? a Belarus.. We had a couple of those Things when I was a kid, MTZ 70 and 820, I remember when dad bought a new 820 back in the 80´s, it had a radio, not stereo, but it was a radio, and you could hardly hear when the engine was running, but IT HAD A RADIO.
Then fast forward to about the year 2002, one of my dads neighbours called and asked if I could help him out, he needed a driver for a grainwagon for a day or two.
So I got my butt in a brand new JD (can´t remember the number, but it was around 200 HP), to come from a Belarus as a kid, to that JD, talk about another world, I enjoyed it so much that at the end of the day he asked me how he owed me for a days work, I just smiled ad said "not a dime, I had such a good time."


Grabbing a cup of coffee and moving on.

Happy Monday all y'all, all this talk about old tractors just reminded me that I have another job on my To-Do list. My old IH 350 Utility wouldn't run the last time I needed it. I am 99% sure it is just water in the gas but I really need to get that solved before the snow flies. The farm friend of mine who gets my hay has a Belarus in his fleet of old tractors. It has no FEL or anything like that but it runs well for him and is good for pulling wagons or running small PTO / 3pt hitch implements.
Today is onion harvest day. The harvest doesn't take very long but the onions need to cure in the sun for 5 days. To cure well we need sunny, warm and dry conditions. After a week of rain it looks like we will finally get some dry and sunny days. This weekend the potatoes come out of the ground. Luckily, they can cure in the barn. After that I think it is beet pickling time and carrots after that. Yup, it is that time of year, the produce is coming in.
Have a good Monday everyone and play safe.

We did but he quit posting daily when he went to work in China for awhile (drum roll...cymbal crash)

Actually I do recall something like that as we had to keep editing it for profanity....MOST of them were just fine but every now and then one would get put up that just doesn't cut the mustard here....

I am not talking about Stan posting profanity here....I think he is too much of a Gentleman to ever use bad language in a public setting

Hi People hope everyone is well ?

Fighting allergies here all the rain has got the weed pollen through the roof!

Tallguy67

Good evening all y'all. The onions are all out of the ground, now bring on the hot and dry weather please so they cure well. Does anyone need any onions - this is only about 2/3 of the harvest this year. We make a pickle with red ones that is really popular and that is awesome on burgers, hot dogs and sandwiches. The yellow ones mostly get turned into French Onion Soup but let's be honest, how much soup can 2 people eat?

Lary Ellis (Top)

Good stuff Sean

Wish you were closer I would like to try those pickled red ones

Mexstan

Hmmm, maybe I should start that again?

Lary, thanks for the vote of confidence. I never use any form of profanity in my daily talking and for sure would never use it here. IMO, a user of profanity is publically telling the world that they cannot speak their language and maybe a sign of low class and poor education.

I often see people fighting allergies and feel for them. I am fortunate in that this problem only afflicts me in a very minor way for very short periods of time.

Lary Ellis (Top)

Easy to have confidence in you Stan....your track record here clearly shows the type of person you are

I am the same way...this year it has been so wet here that the ragweed among others is running rampant....this is not a normal allergy season for me

Nice looking harvest. I never had good luck at onions. Seemed like they always bolted or got way too much rain and rotted.

I can't believe how many movies have been ruined for us by excessive profanity.
I understand that people do cuss but can't believe how "accepted" some of the words are becoming.
I liked having a line you weren't supposed to cross especially on TV.

My last job exposed me to 20 years of constant profanity and I refused to lower myself to their level.

Dang it, you got me ranting. You did it to me again you *******!

pind

Ah, the profane thoughts abound. Profanity has become widely accepted, and I am very thankful for that...
Not that I use profanity all the time, simply incessantly. It's almost become a modifier for the most part. Can be a complete sentence, left to its own devices. I'll not expound on this any further, I'm sure you can see where I'm going. Straight up "that" creek. And I'm leaving my paddle at home.

I do consciously try to sound intelligent on occasion, however, those are the occasions where I don't say much...

Otherwise, news of the north.


Yup, that much happened today.
Actually, installed a seats Inc legacy series chair into a kenworth today. Wow. This is the cheapest seat I could find, and holy... three position extendable bottom cushion, separate upper and lower inflatable lumbar, infinite armrest and seatback tilt adjustments, leather faced... And guaranteed to make tender love to your backside for 1 year or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Man, nothing like the Apple crate seats of yore, this is impressive. Back in the day, to get a seat like this, you were staring several thousand in the eye, now it's 785 bucks.

Anyway,have a great day people, and the rest of us too.

Bark

pind, I think that people with a lot of mechanical ability probably should be allowed to practice profanity.
When a person gets a finger smashed by an assistant who can't use a transmission jack or something similar,
that person should have a large selection of expletives to choose from while chasing the assistant with a jack handle.

chaikwa

That's IT? That's all you got?

Just what we need; a pickled boss!

I agree wholeheartedly!

Well that could be interpreted in more than one way!

Yes, even here. I'm not being critical or judgmental, even tho I tend to be that way in general, but there was a time when you'd earn yourself a verbal admonishment for using words like 'crap'. Now it's okay. And to be honest, I don't know if that's a good thing or bad. There IS such a thing as 'going to far' I guess, even with a good thing.

What, you have no dance for that?

Mornin... mornin.
Seems like everyone is doing ok except for Stan (too old to work like that) and Lary (stupid ragweed). All the talk about tractors and equipment makes me miss home for about five minutes... until I remember all the cursing and throwing crap trying to keep crap running all the time.

I took the week off to hang out with the OL- kids are back in school this week, so I'm enjoying a quiet house with the wife Just finished my first week of college in a while, too. Lots of reading, but I'm gonna make it.

Hope y'all have a good one. Not sure what my day has in store yet!

Mexstan

Was trying to be nice, but no idea why. Sorry, forgot that you are a masochist and thrive on abuse.




HEY! Enough of this too old nonsense. Age is just a number and my middle names are Peter Pan. I absolutely refuse to get old or grow up. Ask my wife about growing up.
