You should all spend a morning at some God forsaken tractor junk yard with my dad. Half the times at those the trees are growing up INSIDE the tractors. One time the old guy told us to "watch out for the goats." He wasn't ****tin' either! Gotta keep one eye out for something that might resemble a part we could possibly one day use, and one eye out for something with horns and at***ude. CHAZ
Relaxing? You call this relaxing! Damn you make my heart beating too fast and couple extra beats... Thanks for sharing, keep them coming!
My favorite Saturday Morning thing to do . Yesterday was 70 degrees here in the northeast and I wanted to make a trip to the local yard to find some project parts, but I had too many things around the homestead to catch up on while it was warm out. Unortunately the place we go to did a big crushing and clean up do to the EPA hastling them. Here is My link to what used to be there. I took these truck pictures as a reference so when I went back with my camera I could look at the pictures to locate them again. http://www.newmotherearth.com/SalvageYard/SalvageYard.htm
Here in the SOUTHLAND ... we have timber Rattlers ... when they slitter across the sandy ground ... they leave a inch wide or more trail ... like you drug a fire hose across the ground. They are 8 to 10 feet and as big around as my arm ... Goats will eat a snake ...
That is an after market shock kit to converT to tube shocks. Hard to find that kit now so get it if you can.
O.k. - now see!... This is the reason why there DOESN'T NEED TO BE PEOPLE IN PICTURES! Hatch, I have to hand it to you... you know cars and motorcycles . . . but snapshots....? EEEEWWWWWWWWW! Oh it's on! You're in for it now! Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky! No, but really, I do want to go back there and take some pics - preferably during warmer weather... but if it's cold, it's cold.
