wow for a minute I thought you said you were fired today..... I don't think you can get fired tommy gun....

Matt they charged me 10 bucks.... I gave them 20 I was so happy to see the old hound......

I have a day off because of rain and I don't know what to do first.... my priority list says nap.... so never go off list is what I say.....

Hi, My name is Marcus and I like things that go fast.... I find that I am working because I do not have much else to do....my habits are expensive and I am just not ready to call it a day yet. My current job is to turn around a business location that is only 7 years old but has never shown a profit due to mismanagement and the continuation of hiring more buffoons.... me excluded of course.....I like the challenge but the hours are a bitch...that will end as soon as planting is over.

Good news... my old fighting Yorkie was found to be in jail for the night. When I went to bail him out, his cage was between two Pit Bulls one on either side of him.... he now has an ear ring and some tats....... I relegated him to only half his daily treats for a day.... hey hey actions have consequences..... I'm sure he learned his lesson....

The trailer is very well made with high end appointments... we will use it to haul the 56 to locations around the country and then have a place to stay... I'm very happy....the wife...uh...just give her some time...right?

Big John prayers for the doctors and you and your family... got to get you back to living large...

The weather here sucks.... we just get going in the fields and it rains.... yesterday I was at work by 7 am and home at 10:30 pm.... we had one guy quit and the other had a heart procedure and is unable to work for awhile..... so we are filling in the gaps... hell you can't hire anyone since that idiot Biden is paying everyone to stay home... they are creating a nation of bums......

Gris I recommend the Perfect Amino for everyone who is older....it is a fountain of youth for the well aged..... I am proof of that..... it will help the body repair and heal....and give you more energy..... of course I only get a small cut of their profits....

Have a nice day Guru's....... throw those damn masks away....ye who have been vacinated.....we are free......

sound advice Tommy.... get gorilla tape if you really want to keep it on there......

tried to post pics from Photobucket on here but there has to be a correct sequence and I'm not getting it yet..... wth is up wid dis site? It should be able to take pics off my computer and post them right up..... I will keep trying....

Today we mow..... and so it begins.... we will be out making tall grass into short grass..... now if it would only stay short........

Bought a new Featherlite 40' car hauler / living quarters trailer yesterday after much negotiations..... loaded up the 56 along with a 5000 KW Honda generator and it loaded and fit great.... has a side door in the garage that opens up so you can open the car door and get out like civilized folk are supposed to do.... 22 foot of living area in the front with a large bathroom and shower for the Mrs..... garage area is all finished and insulated also. high end appointed in the LQ area..... all wood cabinets .... heading to the Black Hills this summer and then Montana...... Pulls like a dream loaded or empty..... now that's my idea of an RV..... don't worry my wife will come around to my way of thinking.... hmmmmm.... I hope so anyway......

What up kids?

Holy moly..... I remember that old post...with Bill cutting tile... I was bitching about taxes and I still am....changed accountants twice and they still can't get it right.... wtf...

My old Yorkie wandered off the deck today and all the gates were closed so we don't know how he got out.... been out looking for him.... he's blind in one eye and can't see out of the other....deaf also...... been hanging around for a long time with us.....hope he turns up. Call animal control tomorrow...... he never strays far....

finally a rain day and I can take a break.... been working some insane hours but this will slow it down. I have been running the liquid fertilizer plant making all kinda of different liquid fert mixes that are loaded into big tankers and delivered to farms. I sit in the blend shack with computers and light boards with switches to click on and off..... really it's damn cool...... yeah I know... i'm into weird stuff........... more later Guru's....

Where did that month go? We are 2 weeks out from planting up here and the work has just gotten started the last 2 days.. as they say....all hell has broken loose in Ag world.. my job as Agronomist and sales turns into truck driver and deliveries..... ah hell if I didn't enjoy it I wouldn't do it.

U woman's 60th coming up in a few days....my son, our youngest just turned 27..... amazing how fast my life has gone.... I myself have seen my younger days....

Got a new battery for the Grand Sport but the 90 elbow that vents it to the outside broke off in the old battery so now am waiting on GM to send me another one... battery in back on a dry sump car.... Baby Harley is sounding a lot better wid the new more melodious sounding pipes... and the tune made it a lot more snorty...... it's the snorty sporty.... I love it when a plan comes together...

better go make my lunch.... I do believe a large scale tax revolt is in my future..... if I can get 30 million folks to go along with me....what's the IRS going to do...... take my advice..... buy gold and silver... I cannot see that the way they are printing money that what they are doing is sustainable... something has to give..... the foxes are in the hen house....

I have a day off and its is a decent one....good temps and no wind.... how did that happen... its like a miracle or something.... I got the Sporty back and already been out on it... parts run you know... mostly choring for da wife today..... her sister is coming... yikes..... now we gotta clean everything twice...geez....

Got my new Delco battery for the Grand Sport.... 219 dollars later.... I got to start taking better care of my batteries ....

Ya Matt....this is not the time to build a house 10-4? its all because of Biden....everything bad is because of Biden...

Got a project coming your way Teeb...... no really... I will get the measurements and text ya.......

That dog is trouble... sounds like he is doing what he loves... take the Tomato and take up 2 parking stalls that will keep it safe.... or not..... never miss a chance to drive what you love.... hey that may be my new slogan...

taking it easy today.... naps and such.... colder and more windy than yesterday. We were blessed with some nice days for Mom's funeral and that always is nice...

roll on Guru's...

Yo....Guru's...... I am back from a long 3 days of services for Mom and moving all her possessions out of her assisted living apartment. I am tired and there is still another storage facility filled with stuff down in Kansas. Will get it later on.

Everything went well and the service was nice. Thanks so much to Teeb for the rush job on the cremation boxes he made... they are very cool and everyone thought they were just perfect. I'm tired and wanting to hit the big chair..... more later.... 65 here today.... windy but need to get a battery in the Silver Bullet and get it cranked up..... also got some better pipes on the baby HD....and a tune.... oh yeah....

It is as nasty a day out as we have had in a month seems like.... had over 4" of rain yesterday but today we have 30 to 40 mile per hour wind with it..... tried to go out a couple of times and its like being in car wash with water and wind blowing everywhere....

Will be scarce at the Guru this week as we get things ready for Mom's service next Friday.....

Took the Baby Hog to the Baby Hog shop to get some new pipes on it and a tune..... I just can't leave things alone... but you know that right? took it down in a car trailer so it would not get wet and it didn't...... getting my old 89 Haulmark car trailer restored so I can use it to haul the bikes around or the mowers..... it is not in that bad of shape but updating the wiring and putting LED's on it... new brakes and stuff...tires of course......

keep on trucking Guru's

working like a dog with the big push coming.... we are selling stuff to farmers who are all of a sudden interested in farming since the price of corn is like 5 bucks a bushel....a year ago it was like 2.80..... Soybeans are 13 dollars a bushel.....but of course nobody has any..... or sold to cheap...... marketing is a bitch.....

time to hit the big chair...

Lots to do in Seattle..... hang wid da homeless.... take over a neighborhood with Antifa..... Work for Amazon for a week... takes a week to try and figure out how to get around the area........ also look at old houses that need a lot of work and they are already priced at a Million dollars....always good for a laugh..... they got good salmon though....

time to hit the hay...... work sleep eat...... what else is there....? night Guru's

....heck I could mow twice a week with that mower...very cool!

10-4 on the bask in sunshine.... I took the baby Harley out yesterday for it's maiden voyage... very light lots of power now just need to get those loud pipes on it.... no really loud pipes save lives....

today up to 70 again and I will begin to haul out dead fallen tree limbs that were ripped from the trees in a big ice storm last winter.... some of it we can burn in the fireplace...

Staked out where the wife's new She Shed Greenhouse is going to be. That work will commence soon.... first the cement slab and plumbing..... so I get a bike and she gets a she shed.... its the way a perfect marriage works...... right?

better get rolling.......

Wazzup Guru's...... well my Mom's train left Thursday night at 8:10..... I was there to help her board....she had no luggage.... all she took with her was her honor, a lifetime of work...and a love for the Lord.....at the end that's all you need. She went peaceful and I'm glad I was there with her.

At 98 she has lived a long full life. A Montana girl who outlived two good men, staunch conservative republican, a warrior for the Lord.... Missionary with my Dad to the outbacks of Brazil in the early 50's while dragging along 2 little kids...me and my brother......

Breast Cancer survivor from 1974 when they told us after the surgery there was nothing left to do but pray....and pray we did.... health food nut from way back in the 60's..... We used to get Tigers Milk for breakfast which was a Milkshake with all kinds of good stuff in it..... hell we loved it.... a shake for breakfast.....

Musician in that she played the piano while Dad would preach the word....... fluent in 3 languages not including the sailor talk she could bring on some poor fool who crossed her or hers.....a lover of dogs of all kinds....

A deaf education teacher who changed kids lives almost all of which have gone on to be successful in business and life...... and although we did not see eye to eye on many things when I was young, time has proven her more right than wrong..... .

Zona Gale Denton Dennis Sarff.....raise a glass with me Guru's and toast a life well lived...... Amen and Amen....

thanks VB but I don't think there is recovery in the cards this time around.... she is pretty much out of it right now...not eating and not drinking much....I will be headed back down to be with her as the transitions begin..... we knew it was coming someday but she has proved a worthy opponent to the grim reaper in the past but the age is finally going to catch up to her....

I will keep you posted.....

......hear him.....hear him......

.....don't take him to Washington then... there be monsters there ya......

work out day....and then naps..... heading into the 60's next week.... bring that on....

attack formation Delta today Guru's..... let's move out...

Quote:

looks like a 14' deep by 20' long Tom.... now she is out collecting old windows from old houses and wants to put a patchwork of those up for the sidewalls and roof..... woman has done gone off da rails here...... she has pictures.... here we go......

Thanks Matt..... appreciate it. Had her transferred over from the hospital to the Hospice today. I went down and signed her up and stayed with her most of the day. She is down to 109 pounds but we have been here before. She was sleeping when I left and I had gotten her to drink some protein drink and some water.

They are giving her pain meds and some anti anxiety and depression meds to see if we can get her out of the funk she is in. It has worked before. I really think she wants to go to her heavenly home and be free of this existence..... the Lords will be done.... it was 67 degrees in Kansas today and it felt gooooood..... Harley's out buzzing around.... I am so ready...

.....a lot of folks going to be ready for a change in 4 years if these bozo's leave us anything.... Drain the f'n swamp...we underestimated how much they want to keep the swamp going... they would and did do anything to ensure it happened and had the press and social media in their back pockets...... I might run for a Senate seat.....would you vote for me? I would make the Tea Party blush.....

Going to Kansas to put Mom back in the Hospice...mainly to get her out of the Assisted living place she is in.... we have been here before so don't be thinking the worst. If it goes like always she will go to hospice and get better and we can move her back to her assisted living apartment in the spring... if not then the Lord will take her home and she will start in on eternity......

Have a good night Guru's........

...atta girl Rosie...... just in time for spring.... I hope..

I was informed my wife would like a greenhouse for her 60th birthday...... anybody know how to make a greenhouse...how bout it Teeb and Tommy.....? need a greenhouse.....

going to be in the 60's next week.... my mind is racing on what to ride drive first..... yeah the baby Hog is probably going to get the starting nod......

will catch you on the flip flop.....

.... amazing amount of snow is disappearing around here...piles I thought would take a month are getting smaller every day.... not much run off so we are getting it soaked up and that is a good thing to start the cropping season with a full profile of soil moisture...

Am getting my first Covid shot tomorrow.... signed up quite a while ago and finally get my shot....

I am so ready for riding and driving days...... a pox on this winter..... keep moving Guru's..... devil can't hit a moving target......

out early and in late....... come on spring....want to get the toys out and about..... night night....

.....yeah well...have you seen the movie The Money Pit? that was originally about us and our old worn out farm house we thought we got such a hot deal on..... only took 30 years and untold thousands of dollars to fix it.... Teeb has done his share of making it nice for us with his custom cabinetry.... I find its a never ending cycle as we are not replacing things that were new 30 years ago....... I have had to ban HGTV channel in the house because it gives us ideas....

other than that its been a great home to us and ours.... no frozen pipes.....

moving towards the big chair now....... I think some Gentleman Jack may sooth the stresses of the day.....

...I'm raising a cold one right now to remorse and self loathing........ may you have no regrets.....

....I have come up wid a diet that lets me eat what I want when I want..... I will let you know how it goes...

Went into Lincoln this morning in a mini blizzard and came home with blue sky's and dry roads.... just some errands to run and lunch at Chipotles....yum..... washed the truck early but it got messed up in the snow but still not as bad as it was..... they have put so much salt on the roads here that they are white when it dries off......

Nap time.....

What is happening homes? Not so great trip to Kansas yesterday.... Ma has fallen into on of her depressions so I ordered her up some meds to fix that and hopefully she will pop out of it like she has in the past. No main physical ailments right now just very depressed and anxious....

So I get there and find out she has been sleeping on her mattress with a thin blanket over her.... I am pissed....I tuned up the folks that were around if you could find them and Monday the top brass will get an ear full of me.... what the hell.... damn near 7,000 dollars a month so she can sleep on a mattress..... sonofabitch...... all her clean sheets and mattress pads right there in her closet... we are paying for her apartment to be cleaned and fresh sheets on every week...

I gotta good rant going here..... needs to carry over to Monday...... hey hey hey.....got some new Harley parts to put on..... later taters......

....funny stuff Bob..... kinda naughty though....

I got my sciatica fixed.... only cost 30 Large but I am back in the game coach.... I feeeel good..... I found the best back cracker I ever been to out at a truck stope about 45 miles west of here. 40 bucks gets you about a 20 minute session that is way worth it. old tired truckers are lined up out the door....

heading to Kansas tomorrow..... don't know what to expect but it won't be the best I'm sure....

Onward Christian soldiers ...... oh and I highly recommend you buy some gold and silver..... major inflation on the way I hear....... at the coffee shop..... very reliable source of info you know....

Yep...I will miss that voice everyday.... damn....

Weather was chit here today....dark and wind blew.... I'm fed up wid it.... Got a notice to put in for a raffle ticket for a new 21 C8 from Stingray Chevy in Plant Florida... saw my first C8 at the Strawberry Festival in Plant last year... and am really going to miss those free Strawberry shortcakes....and all the fruit and veggies and good things to eat...... damnation... we will return....

Heading to Kansas on Friday still...... more on that later..

..stayed below 0 all day but no new snow... may get up to +16 tomorrow.... bring it on is what I say.... 30 by weekend maybe..... been a long haul it seems.... gotta get better in March....

If the climate is changing its because Ma Nature decides she wants to...all this carbon debt BS is junk.... explain to me the winters of 1888 and the winter of 49... hell there were not enough folks in the whole country to effect the climate yet those were horrible storms ..... and what about the dust bowl days? Carbon dioxide caused that? WTF? Get away from me with that political chit mon..... I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore..... I think that was a good rant don't you?

Heading down to see Ma on Friday....she has given up looks like.... see if I can't get her looking forward to spring or something.... I am praying the prayer that always gets answered..... I pray the Lords will be done...... amen....

Tommy sorry to hear about your SIL.... sounds like you got the routine down but that's to bad also.....

Don't think it got above 0 all day and another -20 to 25 below tonight.... at some point you just stop caring.... I know this that when we get back to the 30's it will be like T shirt weather...

My Mom is not doing well and has been in and out of the hospital of late... she seems to have given up and just sits in her chair and stares.... not like her at all... she is 98 and I believe she is ready to move on to what's next... not much left here for her to accomplish you know? Not being negative about things just looking at the reality of it all.... we will see what the Lord has in mind...

keep the cupboard doors open and the heat on...... seems all those fancy ways of generating electricity are not doing so well right now...the solar panels have a foot of snow on them and the windmills won't turn because they are froze up... but guess what the coal trains are running just fine.... yep... we got power power wonder working power.....

have a safe night....

you were wise to bring out the Chocolates.... you might have been out on the porch wid da cat and poor little birdies...

I in my thoughtfulness managed to get a nice card and a gift card to her favorite store.... I am good to go for another year.....

If it can get worse it usually will..... below 0 temps with snow and now with the addition of wind..... it is blowing to the south right out of the Arctic circle with a destination and stop over in Oklahoma....then on to Texass....... just letting you know....

Keep the faith my brothers and sisters...spring is just around the corner...

Thank yee kindly my friends....... already looking up Corvette peddle cars......

I'm having a great day..... just found out we are going to be grandparents for the first time..... very good news... my #2 daughter and her husband will be doing the honors... very cool..... raise a glass with me in celebration.....

Tommy think of it as digging more gold out of the gold mine...you know it's there but your got to go get it.... and really...there is no retirement.... the government has cancelled that also.... cancel culture you know...

Thank you Lord for what we are about to receive.... Arctic Clipper on the way in.... I wonder what it would feel like to have 30 degree temps again..... wow...

Still waiting on Harley parts..... WTH?

keep your shovels sharp Guru's...

...well we are settling in for a cold sumbich..... going to hit the - double digits over the weekend... the highs will still be below zero..... I am enjoying a big bowl of beef stew that ought to fuel us through the worst of it.... that and the whiskey......

we will be sure to send the cold on east when we are done wid it .... enjoy....

...gut cold here but nothing to what is on the way... -20 over the weekend and then we will get the wind chill on top of dat..... bring in some wood Ma....gonna get frosty...

Thanks Gris.... got my kit ordered for my doggie DNA... should be interesting on my Yorkie....see what else they got in there.... when I did my own DNA I had a lot of Neanderthal....... my wife just said... yep...... I knew that....

time to hit the big chair....

....yeah....south Florida in the middle of July no time to be roofing a house.... heat index is like our wind chill... got up to 10 degrees today and the populace rejoiced... short lived though more cold coming.... I spent a summer in Gainesville Florida back in the early 60's while my folks trained peace corps kids heading to Brazil... No AC in the dorms where we stayed.... little Zero fans by our beds to keep us from dying ....... or getting heat stroke while we slept...but we got to go to Daytona Beach every weekend so it was worth it......

If I have told all that before..... I'm older now and that's my excuse.....

Gris......GRIS.... can you hear me now? How much did that cost to get the DNA run on your doggie? wow what a mix of parentage.... a true Heinz 57 dog.... I would like to run my dogs to see how much Yorkshire terrier the have in them....

I'm out.....

.... -18 degrees out and -30 wind chill...... went out on the deck to see if it would wake me up faster..... my advice is to never ever do that .... geez....

Pork roast and scalloped potatoes and coleslaw for supper .... need calories to fight the cold right?

going to get even colder this weekend..... so much for global warming..... Tommy..even better post some pics of you on vacation... rub some salt in our wounds.....

more as it occurs.....
