Update on the farm, lots done this year, drained a lot of wet spots, bought mower for rainy summer, built fence around yard to stop moose eating apples, gardens did good, got decent garlic, threw a few culverts in on trails or field access, got a mini donkey, bottle fed it till it got into the...
Thanks Martin, Did you get anything? My dad was up for a few weeks and just got a white tail.
No suprises but the body work will be expensive and sounds like not till mid November to get it done, so essentially I will be without it for half a year! Still have to haul it PG for structural...
Yes 24 valve. Yes standard, but 5 speed. I had the 6 in my 2003 but didn't like the shifting, I like the 5 speed much better, just probably get better milage with the 6 speed if you highway drive? If you are not partial to the 2nd generation body style, I hear the 2003-2005 have more power and...
That's the thing, my truck is not new, it's a 2000, so it's 18 years old and before they started putting the chip in the key and alarms as standard equipment. The theives were stealing the older trucks that were easy to steal for them then driving around stealing stuff from peoples properties...
Not much to report this year, I did finish building dodge up, only for it to get stolen in July and I am still dealing with getting it fixed up. Then I spent most of the summer getting ready and then building a water pipeline, burying a second tank closer to the horses to take the overflow...
Actually Judy had a run in with a moose this winter, He snuck by the house and the truck, so I called on the dog to go do some guarding as she was passed out in her house, then she jumped up all excited not noticing moose and started cuddling the cat, till she finally figured out what I was...
ha ha, thanks for the offer, I got lots of those, problem is one of them is a female (maybe both unless the little one sprouts spikes this year). They are really healthy looking though, I just saw a moose driving in to work today halfway to FSJ and he had no hair on his neck and half his back...
it is horror! Not too much left, it is melting fast, just mainly where ever I bermed it up or it drifted really bad and where the sun doesn't hit it all day. I got another new toy recently, hopefully will be a nice kickstart to get back at the mine truck ;) Yeah not too much elk on our...
Ha ha, yeah me too, this spring I will be buying a tracked skid steer then putting dozer blade on it, so then I will have mini bulldozer and mini excavator, and I will be able to do a lot of stuff on the farm. The day goes by so quick when you are running equipment, and it brings you back to...
So then I had to plow the snow, let the ground freeze up and then lift the bales real high so I could get the last load of hay off the field and off to my Brothers place. Also built some selves in the shop and have been organizing in there so that I can get back to the work truck build, am in...
Haven't posted much lately, so here is a quick update of winter. We had an early big dump of snow, before the ground froze, so I got the tractor stuck and had to get the cruiser out to winch it back.
Lots been happening on the Farm, got married (thanks Charla for the pic), Jim hayed the fields, fixed the ruts from all the camping and bad weather, shot our rifle's in so we can do some hunting once work slows down from being away from it for a while due to wedding ;), and I bought myself a...
Sweet, what did you get an elk? in town as in FSJ? I am little busy now trying to catch up from my two weeks off and we are busy at work, but in a week or so I should have some free time if you have some.
Cheers,
