earthwrks,

Not sure if my fingers were backwards, or I thought it was the disucssion on alarms or just poor eyesight and old age. Sure glad for the help. My wife agrees I need all I can get. LOL with you.

They proably should use the tarp for cover and the trap for security.

lbrown,

The dealers here require at least 100 gals to make the stop.

Your number 3, are you saying you will pump the diesel fuel through an air hose nozzle? If so I don't beleive you will be pleased at best it sure would be slow. It might cause the fuel to foam up a lot.

Your number 2, if you only file it when your tractor is low (that is when I think fuel) and then fill your tractor is will make it lighter if you must move it.

Something else very simple but often over looked, keep car doors locked while driving even in parking lot or sitting there. A lady was pulling into park at Wal Mart in the middle of the afternoon (in other words full day light) as she was parking a man hopped in and kidnapped her as his partner followed in stolen pickup. She was never found even with video showing the action very well.

DeniS,

I think there is at least one current expert who may chime in on this but a few years ago the method you describe was the way approval was done. The new credut number system to me sure makes less sense.

The way some insurnace companies use it makes little sense. I had a builder that got a poor rating (higher premium) since his business was in his name. That made him a "HIGH RISK TAKER".

lbrown59,

Probably the second way. Now if something goes kaboom I meant the first way. Glad your issue turn out well. Did you tell how you found the spot and I missed it?

By the way SG, did you try using the leaking gas to get the cat from under the house? The above ground hole was not from your shooting at the cat was it?

The tank popping up probably was due to the coastal area's high water level. A station in my town put in large underground tank on side of small hill. Lots of rain hit and up it came. Local cemetary had to be moved for same reason, rain came down and the caskets came up.

Again, I am very happy it turned out well and safe.

Does the hyd augers the power companies use have down force on them? Some don't look like they do, others I suspect could.

Murf,

My experience is like SG has as the next post. If you have someone who is in my area I would like to hear from them. I can probably help them out along and along.

Thanks,

The common practice here would be for the two of you to split what the hay sold for.

Murf,

Since Earthwrks is near there, maybe he could enlarge his circle to take the pictures. LOL for real. Murf, you are needed at the stand for the summer heat. Hang in there.

Murf,

Hate to admit my father in law and his Dad got the boat and motor like that. Have no idea now on the motor but the boat was a tiny inflatable. This was years before Al Gore came up with internet.

Earthwrks,

One was for you. One for Murf. One for Art. One for Oneance. One for Iowafun. One for DeniS. Well I am sure there was more than one at the price they were.

In this case I am ROFLMBO sure hope I have those letter correct.

I'm not the best one to express a thought on the cost here, but I don't think $20 a year is unjust at all. TP has saved me more than $20 and provided confirmination on some of my thought and given me more enjoyment than my investment. Sure better than some meals I paid more than that for.

In my part of the world there is a permit issued before the septic tank system is installed. Once the system is installed per the specs given then and no sign of problem shows up, there is no reinspection when property is sold. Been years since I sold real estate but I think it was the VA that required a reinspection such as this. If that was it you possibly could have refused to sell, but your real estate agent should have pointed out this. But boy this type of regulation sure does vary from one area to another. Sometimes in the same state.

Dave,

The best way to attack a lot of work is to be well rested. So be sure to have plenty of naps and snacks. Have good trip.

Ken,

I have seen the electric motor pump combo used on dump trailers built around here with a battery in boat battery box also mounted on the trailer for power source. I have seen those units I think in Northern Tools Catalog but may be off on it being their Catalog.

Dave,

Why would you have to have enough farm work to justify it? It it not road rated?

Sagedog,

If you think it is great now, wait until you get it home and ride around on it and then use it. As to first ding, not sure if you are married or not but if you are ask your spouse to use it and get a little ding in it first. That way it will not hurt as bad. Or keep a log of this ding was from moving that big old tree and this one when it rolled down the hill (bad idea there) and this busted fender when I cut the tree that fell on it. You know, war stories. LOL

For my two cents worth, if you have little experience with tractors and such, buy new. Warranty could be worth savings of used. A good salesman is worth what they make in advice and you will have a relationship with a dealership for service. So buy near you as much as possible. No, I don't sell tractors or equipment, man people get paid for that?

WW,

I thought the fuel or gas tax was a tax on miles driven. Sadly my state does tax us fat people, it is the prepared food tax. Food already prepared is higher than food you prepare. (highest sales tax in our state, but hey only tourist pay that, wrong) But keep quite, they don't tax food we grow but they will when they realize it. You know the idea only tourist pay a certain tax is rather dumb. I leave home and I become that tourist per law makers.

Realizing Dean is former Governor of your state makes it easy to understand your feelings. Is it not your state's moto, "Live Free or Die"? Guess that needs to be changed. No I am not lol.
