Well the rain was welcome, but was a little much.
Cut brush all day down on the bottoms,stopped every now and then to just enjoy the sunshine and nature,seen a whitetail buck in velvet,but he moved on before I could get my new camera focused :mad:
Probably quit a little too soon today but had to check on the cattle :wink:

SPEAKING OF VIAGRA

The boss of a Madison Avenue advertising agency called a spontaneous
staff meeting in the middle of a particularly stressful week.

(This is one pretty sharp boss!) When everyone gathered,
the boss, who understood the benefits of having fun, told
the burnt-out staff the purpose of the meeting was to have
a quick contest.

The theme: Viagra advertising slogans.

The only rule was they had to use past ad slogans, originally
written for other products, that captured the essence of
Viagra. Slight variations were acceptable.

About 7 minutes later, they turned in their suggestions and created a
'Top 10 List'. With all the laughter and camaraderie,
the rest of the week went very well for everyone!

The top 10 were:

10. Viagra, Whaazzzz up!

9. Viagra, the quicker p*cker picker upper.

8. Viagra, like a rock!

7. Viagra, When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.

6. Viagra, Be all that you can be.

5. Viagra, Reach out and touch someone.

4. Viagra, Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman.

3. Viagra, Home of the whopper!

2. Viagra, We bring good things to Life!

And the unanimous number one slogan:

1. This is your pee pee. This is your pee pee on drugs.
 
Better day today--altho I got little accomplished...Took the swather tire off and took into the tire store-- didn't have another like it in stock...But he thought he could put a tube in it and I could get thru the season, but like he said "may last a year, may not last a week".. :roll: But by the time I got the tire home it was too hot to cut-- so just got it mounted and ready to go at it in morning.....
Temp only got to 100 today-- predicting a cool front and temps in the high 80's tomorrow :)
 
Well, I had a doomoss attack. Here is how some of my day went. I forgot that a bumper-pull flatbed trailer was hooked to my pickup, and decided to back up hurriedly to turn around.

If you are going to be dumb, you've got to be tough. :roll:
The worst of it is, I can blame no one but little ol' me. My butt is sore and also the heel of my right foot, from kicking myself. :shock: :wink:
 
Just walked in the door from haulin 200 square bales outta the field. Still got 100 on the trailer, and 124 layin in the field...ran outta daylight, and man power. Lil Lilly prolly tossed at least 1/3 to 1/2 the bales. Then we unloaded 100 of them at a friends barn for her.
Left the last load in town at another friends house that wants 50 off the trailer, and seen lightenin on the way. Son is off to the shop on the 4wheeler to go find a tarp. Then I'm headin back to town to tarp the hay...be on the safe side. Then I guess we'll be unloadin in the mornin, and hopin like crazy what's layin in the field don't get rained on. It's horse hay. Uhggggg I"m tard.
 
Soap.....Okay, the REST of the story is...what if that'd been the wife or kid that did that???

Please give detailed dialog :):) :)

I try to be a forgiving soul, but sometimes I get distracted while counting to ten. :wink:

The thought did occur to me that whenever anyone wrecks something around here, it is always me that has to pay for fixing it. And then when I wreck something, it is still up to me to pay the bill. :( :wink:
 
Soapweed that truck looks like an expensive mistake,kinda reminds me of the time someone around here tore the tail gate off a pickup because he was too busy BSing when he got the goose neck high enough to drive off,forgot to drop the tail gate :shock:
good luck
 
Soapweed there may be a positive in your problem...........
now yall got a good excuse to convert that Dodge to a flatbed (probably be a whole lot cheaper than fixin that fender) :wink:
 
Soapweed for once I'm speechless lol. I just to thinking we all complain about the neighbors bull-I wonder if our neighbors are on some other forum complaining about ours-beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. I know of a few deals where guys have tried a new breed after a neighbors bull gave them a free sample. When I was kid we were the first up here to run Charolais-we had one wander off-got the irate phone call etc but when we went to get him we had to have tea because the cow he was with hadn't stood yet. As for my day-I sorted shipper cows and hot cows all day long-got a pretty good pull today 15 'hots' out of about 175 head-got a half dozen so far this A'M. Were using our Hereford bull "Lad' alot heavier this year as I quite like the calves we got.

You are probably right, but this is mainly my salt and mineraling pickup. It is also my "good" pickup that gets to go to town when I do. :wink: I purposely didn't put a gooseneck ball in it because sacks tend to get tore up on the ball. It also has a nice Rhino liner. Often times I start out with 60 fifty-pound sacks, and I'm not sure they'd stay on a flatbed.

I am not really a fan of flatbed pickups. Something of value too often falls off and gets lost. Just a couple weeks ago, a demolished high-dollar battery was laying out in the middle of the highway. It can probably be properly assumed that it jiggled off of a flatbed pickup.

The trouble was I was lost in thought, and that was unfamiliar territory. :wink: :-)

Put in one of those ' flip' over trailer balls in the bed. Pull lever and it flips down into the bed of the truck. You can do it with a bed liner w/ no problem...mine works great. If you got a welding deal you can do it yourself.
 
Got some HUmor and satisfaction from your accident Soapweed, which sounds strange. The reason is that that is something I can see myself doing, like ramming the front end of the caking pickup into a balemover when the windshield was iced over.
You are quite a bit younger than I am too. OLd people are expected to have dumb accidents.

Geez you say how much better Texas is then AZ but after 50 inches of rain you don't have pasture. :roll:

Be careful with that Viagra. Remember the last time you tried it your hat wouldn't fit for two weeks and the doctors had to treat you for Wooden Tongue :P
 
Soap, I just got pictures e-mailed from my sis at a show she was in out in LA (I think) this last weekend. I kinda think her and those two other gals in the pic could pull that dent right outta there for you. :wink:
