    solar gates

    I can always tell which of my neighbors bought Mighty Mule gate openers....they are the ones with the opener unhooked and the gate wide open all day and night! You really do get what you pay for in gate openers. I've had a U.S. Automatic Patriot for going on 8 years now, and all I've done is...

    need help/advice

    You probaly need to do this pretty quick. If the property is worth anything, then the folks who do know how to do this have probably already contacted the siblings and made an offer. Doubtful that the bank just wants to get rid of the property at even a small loss, as they arent in business to...

    Some things are better left unimproved.

    What do ya'll mean when you say you cant see who is posting without looking on the far right hand side? Every post has the posters name in the second line...right underneath the headline of each post. The far right hand side just gives you the avatar, but it also lets you look up a posters...

    Size of herd

    You guys are sure right about that!! I remember when a person used to ask what size folks herd was and the poster got reemed a new one for even thinking about asking! Most people likened it to asking how much money someone had in the bank. Never understood that either. If I really wanted to...

    Retired

    I sold my business back in May and decided I was gonna take the summer off and spend some time with the kids before deciding to either start another business or take a part-time job doing something fun when school started. Well, after having a summer off for the first time in probably 30 yrs, I...

    Bush Hog Story

    Yep, Kennedy Machine and Tool still has that big lathe too! Actually ol' man Kennedy said he had the machine long before the Cowboys came to town, so make them move if they got a problem with it. Next thing you know, Cowboys are building a new stadium in Arlington, bout 20 miles away from where...

    Humor - 1968 style

    You can tell they both almost lost it several times and barely kept from bursting out laughing! A classic indeed.

    Is this fair?

    Thats the way I'd look at it too. Do I have anything else to do those days that will make me more than $400? If not, I'd crank up the truck, hook up the trailer and head out. Maybe ask the missus if she has anything better to do too. Last I checked, motels cost the same for 2 people as they do...

    ranch/farm jobs?

    Dave Ramsey tries to knock some common sense financial advice into the folks who call his show and don't have a clue as to how to handle their finances. He never said you had to drive a pinto or some other cheap car, he only suggests that you drive what you can afford to pay cash for, and not...

    How many head of cattle do you have?

    why so secret about how many cows you have or how much land you own? It's not hard to find that out, all i have to do is look at the tax records to see how much land you own, and I could just stand by your fence and get a close number on how many cows you have. (or maybe don't have in some cases...

    Cost raising cattle question

    at 25 bucks a bale, $15k buys 600 bales. If you are feeding 5-6 bales every 3 days, thats 50 bales a month. Why are you buying 600 bales if you are only feeding 50 bales a month for probably no more than a couple of months if your cows are grazing yr round? Where's that BS flag when we really...

    ranch/farm jobs?

    why dont you sell the house and condo and buy you a place of your own instead of doing the work for someone else? do you own the house and condo or do you have a mortgage on them? there is inexpensive land in most states if you dont require living close to big cities and cn do a little fixing...
