The old one the far left is 20 years or older depends on which tire that is on the rig. I guess it looked like I meant on the backhoe, nope those are the 5 ton military truck tires coming off. Accident waiting to happen with tires that old and that much weight on the back.
Going to need some Ibuprofen with my coffee, these damn things weigh 344 lbs without the rim. Got 7 to do, with rim and bead locker they exceed 500 lbs with no excavator to help. One done 6 to go…
Size comparison from left to right, first one is old tire, second one is the new tire and of course...
My opinion is rock pad for the sheep shed and a spare tire for the trailer. Go to local junk yard for about $50 or less you can pick up a spare. Somewhere on those tires as all tires is a date stamped on them there is 4 numbers followed after the DOT stamp, the first two are the week/month, last...
Give them about a winter or two and see if they last. During the last public scare for the "greater good" we had 4 people move out here on this road alone. It has been a few years and not one built a structure of any sorts, they didn't get the hot tub to look out on the open land as they wanted...
Y'all should of moved in up here, I'm sure the court house is still using AOL and ICQ to talk amongst each other on dial up internet here. You can still write checks here.
If you forget to renew your DL here I think after 15 to 30 days you must retake the test as you never had a DL before...
Cats are mysterious in disappearing and reappearing in times you would least expect it. Like the cat we got back in January this year, wild rescue the wife grabbed from the horse barn at work. Kept her upstairs for weeks, let her loose downstairs in the pole barn and kept doors closed. That cat...
A flea was sitting on a bar stool, sipping vodka on the rocks, shivering and sneezing.
Another flea felt sorry for her and asked what happened.
"Don't mention it. I sat myself on a half full glass of whisky that someone had left on the bar table in next village and took some sips.
Made me feel...
You know how when you get your oil serviced and few other things on vehicles. One of those things, service pit. I put it there when I put the slab down.
Though it could be used for hiding stuff, tunneling to places or storing too since the ground is so stable. :lol:
Better forgo the coffee this morning as this is enough to supplement it with about 3 inches or less clearance on the sides. Just do yourself a favor and eat a few Scooby snacks or muscle relaxers cause it’s going to take nerves of steel to dig this out and not take the slab out. One jolt from...
Hose doesn't last forever, leave the valve on at all time at the IBC tote, cut the hose at a reachable height, insert a valve with barb fittings on both ends with some hose clamps and call it good. Add shims to take the slope out i.e. boards.
Nope hasn't changed.
Between www.campendium.com & www.freecampsites.net combined with gaiagps.com on my tablet you couldn't find us and never stayed in any RV parks.
Yeah we’ve been around since we have been together in 6 years. I traveled way more before this picture.
It always bounce in the 50's and 60's through the summer in the mornings out here. At night you can turn AC off put a blower or fan on sucking in outside air to stay cool. Don't miss running the AC 24/7 in Texas.
This brings a fond memory up one of many roadside fixes. Driving westbound 15...
Sounds like pinion seal, easy peasy 5 minute job. Pop the jack shaft off, "replace U joints while down there anyways" remove the pinion nut, knock yoke off with 4 lb hammer and some cuss words calling it your dirty little #@&^ then pry pinion seal off and out. Reverse the new one with a socket...
First thing first, I need a way to move it and few other things around. The M923A2 is going in the pole barn at the end of the month, first thing is fabricating a hitch to pull bumper pull trailers. While at it switching tires out to larger ones and getting a heater put in.
She suggested a whiskey bottle and appearing to almost fall of drunk singing off key too. :gig
Guess I shouldn’t have mentioned getting one, now I feel obligated.
Woke up to thunder and rain this morning. Pigs pond is sure holding from last rainfall (1500 gallons) and now this rain. Don't see rain forcasted far into the future, but with cooler temperatures the current water won't evaporate anytime soon. Might be on our way to filling up by next spring...
