Temps have been warm here and we have little snow. It rained most of the day Thursday and left a sheet of ice anywhere there was any packed snow(everywhere that I drive around to feed cattle).
Anyway,my sons came out to help me feed yesterday and I was "demonstrating" to them just how slippery it was on that ice with the tractor. This "demonstration" included "cutting donuts","whipping sh*t-hooks", "doing burnouts" and doing "reverse 180's"(AKA Rockford turns).

I was only trying to show them the hazards of driving on icy conditions. Wink Wink(no fun at all for me Wink )
They figured that it was pretty cool for the "old man" to be rippin' around like that with a tractor! My wife just watched out the window, shaking her head......... Very Happy

I guess kids will be kids. Say what? How cool do they think you are when you take off those "NASTY" underwear? Wink

Merry Christmas..........Turd!

That reminds me of when about ten years ago I was demonstrating similar driving techniques to my young son. It was fun until I broke through the ice, and we had a five-mile walk. We had to go get the pickup out of the pond before it froze in place, and ultimately we were a couple hours late for a Christmas party. The Kosmo Kid did learn the moral to it all, and that is, "if you're going to be dumb, you've got to be tough." Wink Smile

Mike- "I guess kids will be kids. How cool do they think you are when you take off those "NASTY" underwear?

I admit ,Mike , I am not familiar with the customs in Alabama, but here in Manitoba, we don't take our underwear off in front of the children....nasty or otherwise. Rolling Eyes Smile

Merry Christmas to you, too!! (turd)

PS: There is a couple of Rio bulls at Douglas Test this year again but only the "on test" weights are posted so far.

TimH this is how you teach the kids about the dangers of driving in the snow. Only problem is then they think it is soooo much fun that they want to bring out their friends and I can't say no, it is my civic duty to teach all of these kids the effects of snow on frozen rubber and how out of control you can get. BTW, they prefer pastures that cows have been in for the added problems with dodging cow pies and getting some air.

Yup, had to teach my kids the same things and in pretty much the same way! Laughing

Don't you feel sorry for them poor ol' southerners who don't get to do this stuff and then when they run onto the occasioal wet street, they are, like, all out of control, dude? Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

I kill myself! Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

I did a ATV safety video today. Only problem, no one was watching or filming it! Very Happy Disclaimer: I don't recommend doing this!!! Was heading off some cows that were headed down the road and came up the ditch where there was some melting snow and mud. My outfit slid right sideways until it hit dry ground and went over. I bailed off and kept rolling. 4 wheeler made a 3/4 roll landing on the left side. Engine never died and I got up and flipped it over on the wheels again. The renegade cows didn't get away, but kids don't try this at home! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy
