Sounds sweet, I have noticed a lot of farmers are like that. Does that come from being so far out in the country ?

[ramos 2]

We don't have a lot of farmers around here. Just country bumpkin billys

[ramos 2]

Got lotsa people with the inbred big forehead though

[topgun 262]

Theres the farmers that have some tools and can't really fix anything much, and then theres people like us who don't take any vehicle to a shop to get it fixed, we have the tools and knowhow to fix everything right ourselves. Dad's an engineer and the other fella who works with us use to be a John Deere mechanic. Plus, its expensive as hell to get stuff fixed at the dealership. Plus, being in the boonies dosen't help either.

Last planting season, we had to split our planter in half and have dad weld it up, got that taken apart and back together in two days. Have had final drives go out on the combine and the tire basically fall off (the big front ones, not the back ones )Just so much stuff to break, kinda have to have the tools and knowledge to fix it. Just comes with the job I guess.

I think it's in the state motto or something " incest is best"

[topgun 262]

Another good thing about being home, I can take my truck outa commission and not have to worry about it. There are plenty of other vehicles to drive around if I need to go somewhere.

Cool, never spent more than a couple weeks each summer when I was a kid on a farm.

LOL @ the state motto

In our town (~500 people) there is a sign that says "Ya'll come back now Ya hear" as your leaving town. As if pepole need reassurance that they are with a bunch of rednecks in a small town...

[ramos 2]

Just do like they do around here. Slap an orange triangle on the back, paint farm use on the side. And drive it like ya stole it

[topgun 262]

Not really missin a whole lot ramos. When it rains you don't do much besides listen to the rain and smile. Its either not much to do or a chit ton to do, and only 5hrs to get it done. Its hot, dusty, dirty, and hard work.

[topgun 262]

I've got that sticker in my S-10 "Drive it like you stole it"

lol

True story nick has probably seen it. there is a little place up the road here that is called new castle. TO this very moment, there is a sign hanging on a tree smack dab in the middle of the town. THat reads " Don't let the sun set on yer black ass in new castle " THere's just a touch of racism in this area still

[topgun 262]

Wow, thats pitiful that there is still that sign there...
