Think we A'skert 'em off????

Dougster,
Oh, that explains it. I was looking for it on pages 4 and 5.
What's a Superbowl? Is that a bowl that holds two bowls of gruel?
hugs, Brandi

Some might think you are just upset that Texas' Team didn't make it...

But not us...

Paul,
What are you talking about? I am a baseball fan. The only football games I ever watched on TV were Texas A&M vs. University of Texas with my Aggie Dad. Gig'em Aggies! I take that back. My daughter went to UT, so I watched the championship game a year or two ago. Hook'em Horns. I didn't even know who was playing today. If it doesn't involve home runs and no hitters, or hockey pucks and ice skates, count me AWOL.
hugs, Brandi

Mud,
That is something I am really not sure about. I guess I would. But that is a lot of work. My old Ford 3055 had two flats at different times and I fought them on and off and the Big RED Beast's tires are a lot wider and heavier. I think they both are the same diameter. I think if my land was hillier, I would go wider. But the 11,080 pound Beast feels real solid everywhere I have have been. I have forgotten. Are your tires filled with liquid?
hugs, Brandi

Brandi,
Yes, my tires are filled. I'm thinking about widening the stance because of bush hogging around the pond dam. The dam is about 400 ft. long and in the dry season, it's a good ten feet above water level with about a 23 degree incline/decline in spots. Bush hogging with my old 4505 2WD was scary but tolerable steering with the brakes, but my 4530 has a loader attached and a whole lot more weight. I've bush hogged the dam once with the 4530 and backed down several of the steeper (23 degree) spots. According to experts and my tilt meter, over 15 degrees is potentially hazardous. So, I'm debating whether or not to widen the stance so I can cautiously bush hog most of the incline with a couple of passes, then back down the steeper areas.

The New York Giants showed the world what a Super Bowl is!!!!!!!!!

Man was that an exciting finish! Th last quarter made up for the rest of the game.

Mud,
I would definitely spread the wheel stance out for mowing your dam. Did you build the lake & dam yourself?

Mud, I thought we talked about this before. Widen them tires out. You will not regret it. I think the second thing I did after tearing up the manure pile was to widen them out. Fronts are all the way out, rears could go out a touch more but I am happy where they are for now. I'll take some pictures when the snow goes away, of the hill I bush hog. Definitely has a pucker factor of at least 9, maybe 10. Right off the bat though you will be able to feel the difference. I do a lot of round bale loading and it has helped quite a bit. One of the fields we do is a pretty good climb from the back field to the road where we load the bales onto a trailer, haven't had any issues so far.

I know, I know but I didn't think to take any last summer. I promise to take some as soon as I get a chance.

I am not sure where Ohio ran off to, but as far as upsetting anyone, no harm no foul. I intentionally did not specifically respond to the post, mainly because it was short and a little out of character. It caught me off guard and had me wondering "who pissed in his post toasties." We all have days like that. Actually, last WEEK was like that for me AND my wife. Gotta have places like this to unwind though! Glad you got the bugs worked out here have a cup o .

And that was an AWESOME game last night. House full of people going nuts when Burress caught that TD. I can't believe my daughter slept through the screamin, hollerin, jumpin and high fives.

 

[MUDONTHETIRES]

Brandi,
No I didn't build it. It started out being a one acre pond but the previous owner started digging in it in the 1960's and ended up with a six acre pond.

Ed,
I know, we did talk about it. I'm going to do it, just wanted someone to say "DO IT" one more time!

Did someone mention ferrets.
hugs, Brandi

Those guys are really cute!

Do you breed them or are they just pets? I think a lot of people keep them as pets but I dont know anyone who has one.

 

[jbrumberg]

They're weasels. People who have the domesticated ones really like them as pets. The wild ones are pretty nasty . Jay

 

[jbrumberg]

Jay, at least you watched it. After your stated propensity to induge in foo-foo coffees, you have redeemed yourself. I bet that'll get the old man's attention, what do you think?

mobilus:

You are too .

I do the "foo-foo stuff" for the "caffeine kick" . I like the diner as well . It was a good defensive game with a good finish (if I managed to stayed awake through it; it had to be good .). I also made my "famous" "Big Boy Chili" for the event with some 's . I have been and quite a bit this morning . It looks like you will be getting some snow this evening and lowering temperatures the rest of the week. Should help the fire situation down there. Jay

I'll bet old BellyCheck is not a very happy camper today. His place in football history ain't lookin' quite as pretty now as it did last week. Put a hold on that proposed renaming of the Vince Lombardi trophy!!!

I really did not care who won tonight. Living where I do in MA I am about as equally close to each team's area of tie. I will say that I did stay awake for this superbowl (a rarity). A lot of good defense tonight- T. B. did not have his usual 7 seconds of protection on offense and good for E.M. I am more concerned about the pending weather patterns and my next caffeine kick tomorrow . Jay

Yeah, Tom Brady didn't get nearly the protection he needed... and after a few of them rather nasty tackles and sacks, it clearly upset him. At least he has that Gisele Bundchen babe to console him now in his time of need.

Oh Brother!!! Do I have to say that I watched too??? Although I'll admit: It was 90% for the (mostly disappointing) ads and only 10% for the game.

Those expensive and fancy arsed commercials were a huge disappointment this year. A lot of wasted money, which somehow will get back to us and our wallets and pocketbooks (?) (for some strange reason I do not think that Brandi carries a handbag/"warbag" very often). My chili is starting to prove itself as more entertaining . Jay

 

[Dougster]

mobilus: You are too . I do the "foo-foo stuff" for the "caffeine kick" . I like the diner as well .

But did you ever ask yourself: "Why can't diners have coffee just as good as Starbucks and all the other premium coffee places"???

Why do you need to drink disgusting dishwater just because you happen to want some bacon and eggs for breakfast???

Oh BOY Jay!!! Are you ever in big trouble now.

INCOMING!!!!! ​

It was nice knowing you!!!

Dougster:

That is one of those existential type questions I never ask myself in a diner . It is more a diner "in the moment" experiencial "thing". I will add that the beloved diner coffee and the delicious diner homemade soups (which I suspect may benefit from the strainer of their hobart dish/pot washers ) may have contributed to my medical decline Jay

Okay for you!!! And here I thought you were the poor old Dougster's friend.

Remember the rule: No making fun of NTT's one and only official OLD MEMBER!!!

Hopefully Brandi is working right now. Between the weasel comment and the warbag comment I expressed I may get some "feedback" and/or my arse kicked. BTW I worked female psych long enough (8+ years ) to know the outcome already . Jay

Existential or not, the question still begs to be asked and there should be a reasonable answer for it! I have been known to smuggle drinkable gourmet coffee into those diners at times... and "make the switch" when the attention of the waitress is drawn elsewhere.

It is a risky proposition... but necessary if I am to enjoy both food and beverage.

Otherwise... no joke... I order orange juice in a sealed, dated bottle.
