Hey Jim, I see finally traded in the Tacoma for a "real 4 wheel drive"...done any mods yet???...Ken

 

LOL

He needs the Champion mouth bit, IDK what else to call it, mod.

 

probablly wont pass the emissions test! !

 

Mornin' All...cold again...I agree Carl, but how many mowers can fertilize while keeping the grass short...

Hi Jim...lookin' good in the saddle...last horse I sat Ididn't walk right for a week...Ken

 

Morning All, I love the french t-bones on the hoof. Been riding from age 5 Just walk em now to watch the bird dogs, but still love a flat out run in the woods if I can. Makes your heart pump like nothing else can. Jim

 

morning all: neat ride jim!!! tons of people out there that don't know what they're missing. sometimes it's the simplest things that make life enjoyable.

 

Good morning all. It has been a very productive morning for me so far.
Talked to the IRS about tax implications for my son's benefit and filled out a tax withholding for my benefit.

Finally winterized the pond. Disconnected and cleaned out the main filter and made it ready for the winter. I installed the submergible filter in the pond and hooked it up to the pump. Installed the disc heater and the aerator to keep the oxygen level at a decent level for the fish.

In the spring I will need to do a major overhaul of the plumbing and under the liner but right now I am good to go.

I marinated the chicken for Friday night's dinner and it is in the fridge.

Having lunch then a shower and I will catch a movie this afternoon. Plan to see the new MI flick.

 

This is true, for what makes me tick go to Michael Loftis photography, click dog event galleries, then go to Dec 10-11 011 DeFuniak springs, Fl go to misc.. That's judge Jim on the black and white paint ( hes one nice horse & fast) Jim

 

Nice pic Jim!!!

 

Nice pic Jim!!!

Good Morning all...TGIF...calling for a heat wave today...talking about into the 50's this afternoon...Ken

 

Good morning Ken.

Should be around 60 here in the DC area. Time to wash the truck.

I also have to take the Tacoma through emissions inspection this morning.

There is a Tacoma meet coming up this Sunday.

I need to finish up the trash storage bin.

 

Morning All,Thanks for the pic. Tom. I did not get them to load . Really like that horse, fun to ride. Good lady pal owns both the big brown and the paint. Her x is loaded, they get along good but do not live with each other anymore. What ever she wants he gets for her, must be nice... Jim

 

I haven't been on here too much lately. As part of this "semi-retired" thing I'm selling my place in the flatlands and moving everything to the mountain house. I'm narrowing my work area down and just don't need two houses and two shops anymore.

Now I just have to figure out where to put all this stuff. Thirty years of being a pack-rat is finally catching up with me. Good thing that scrap metal prices are high. I took a load of old chokers, worn out chains, bent bars, Cat parts, and some stuff I couldn't identify to the recycle place and made enough money to buy gas for the trip home.

One thing I know for sure...I am never, ever, moving again.

 

morning all: neat pic. jim. glad someone ealse posted it. I'd never have got it.
here's my back, everyome ealses brain garage I built. 32X48. subed some work out, like the concrete, doors, and roof, I did all the woodwork, including making headers and using rafters-not trusses.
started this project by cutting 90 large white pines down, and still not done, but it's usable. maby will never get it totally done. there is a massive amount of labor involved so far, and still more to do.

 

Morning All, Bad ph. call last night , Pal up in Tally. has cancer in 2 places. Going to take out half of one of his kidneys next Fri..He's only 50 and one of the best folks you would ever meet. Always doing something to help out someone and never ask for anything back. Thanks, Jim

 

Prayers and good thoughts going out for your buddy and his family Jim...Ken

 

Morning Folks,

Just passing through again ... had to pipe in:

Jim, Sincere prayers for your pal and his family.

Rob

 

morning all: all the best to you'r buddy jim.
water in basement last night. found a pinhole in a pipe, so first thing this morning had to do a repair. neverending!the bright side is - I can fix it, probablly would have cost $80-$100 for a plumber to fix it. same with garage. have over 30k in it. was told that to have it buit would have been around $60k. that's why most people are putting up pole buildings; much cheaper.

 

Was the pinhole a result of the recent cold snap? Just curious ...

And I like the look of your garage, Good Job!

EDIT: Reminds me of the kind of stuff my Father in Law builds in Iowa. Seems Every time we go back he's built another garage or shed.
