Chores

Ye know, if you're gonna keep organizing these fun and interesting things to do, I'm not going to get my required chores done. Don't know if I can fit it in between work and the farm but I'll try. Hope you have good weather in any case. Safe trip for every one, that's and order! God Bless America, thanks to all the US Troops and Vets.

Sas, you may want to sell the livestock..... army trucks eat less and don't require attendance while you go on these adventures..... Just Sayin' Camp9, bring a Yugo if youve got one, then we can play soccer with the deuces! I have crossed the bridge once or twice....... Lets do it again!

 

[MiSasquatch]

Andy, frequently I've contemplated getting out of the farm biz. Then I see what the rest of you eat and have to pay for the priviledge, I know that all the time and trouble is worth the end product.
Friends complain about the MDNR&E, license cost and the ever increasing price of ammo. I don't have to sit in the swaying tree or the hassles of "hunting". I just go to the fenceline, pick out the best looking prime rib and the butcher takes it from there. I know what I'm eating and I like my own steaks!
I'll just have to try and fit you inta my busy schedule. Take it from me (and the wife) you don't want me 100 percent of the time!
Thanks to all the US American service members; past, present and future!!

 

[MiSasquatch]

Yeah, fact the state vet was here just yesterday. Fun, neccessary I guess.

 

[MiSasquatch]

You do "replacement heifers" or beef? What's you breed?
Sooooo, we got more interests in common.....
More to discuss.
How's your hay situation?
Hey isn't this supposed to be all about military vehicles?

Oh dont get me wrong.... We need our Prime rib taken care off Sas'. I have pics somewhere of the deuce pasking and watering silage........ See this is about mvs. But How about that April Show and Swap Meet in Cheboygan April 14-16! I think I'll be bringing some Hamburger or steaks for dinner, or bacon or sausage, or all of the above... So it all ties in, right?!?!

Getting bored Bob? Not enough trucks, you have to spray paint the livestock?





What the **** is in the water up there!?!?

 

[MiSasquatch]

Yeah, I guess, as long as we keep mentioning the swap met we can talk about the burgers n prime rib, we all gotta eat, right?
I'm just guessing the grand pooba will get a little peeved if we continue to hijack his thread.
May have to grease the skids with a steak or similar.
May have to just go hang with him for another day, he's pretty easy to appease. 'sides I enjoy his collection of MILITARY VEHICLES. (there are we good?)

 

[AndrewH]

If Bob offers free steaks, should we have em teted for VOC's or something? here s probably a piece of MILITARY TEST EQUIPMEN to do just that!
If a picture is worth a thousand words, we can talk abot other hingsfor awhile no, this is a pic from last years event at Cheboygan, If you have been there you can tell me where the pic was taken.......

 

[196thprober]

Pretty nice view of the happenings from inside a Huey.

 

[AndrewH]

You are the winner Chuck! Your prize is knowing that you're the winner!

 

[MiSasquatch]

OK, no promises but if I get to go to the swap and look at MILITARY VEHICLES (that mention of "MILITARY VEHICLES" gets this message OK to be on here, right?) then talk about farming while there I can charge the whole trip off to a business expense. What a deal!
Hey, what's a angus x irish wolfhound......huh? Got pictures?

 

[196thprober]

That's the best prize I have ever won!

Translation: all these decades and I've never 'won' anything, EVER. Got plenty to be happy about though so it dosen't matter.

 

[MiSasquatch]

Now that's that happiest "wrench" I know!
Keep up the good work!

 

[AndrewH]

Don't know how many 'disposable' $ I'll have but most anything Deuce or CUCV Blazer related parts wise, and specifically the chain/towingrelated/strap on/whatever it is thigamagig that Dave P and cjtroutt have told me about. Can either of you help me with the proper name for it? Also hope there is a deuce exhaust kit sitting there with my name on it.

Oh by the way, if anyone needs any MV related technical assistance I'm available for a small consultation fee. Standing by with my contractor grade lubricant, spray styrofoam, and caulk holding workbelt,
