    Call it whatever name suits you, they all fit. I've lived in several parts of the country and grew up in the Midwest. From the perspective of natural beauty and perfect weather, there isn't anyplace that can beat it here. But too many nut cases moved here over the decades and voted these morons into office who are running the state into the ground. People are leaving the state at a level never seen before, and at the same time they're still allowing more homeless and illegals to come in. Like Margaret Thatcher once said, "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other peoples' money.". That's happening quickly in California as the taxpayers flee, even the progressive ones. My mother in law is in poor health and in her 80's and my parents are both in their late 80's. When they're gone, the wife and I are outta here. Until then, we put up with all the ####.

    Well the clutch is on the engine. Unfortunately one of the clutch discs isnt right. Single stage clutch tool on a 2 stage clutch. Tomorrow it will be right and I might get the engine attached to the front axle.

    The wife asked me what I was going to do with the engine stand. I got looking at it and realized it isnt that far off already to being a 3 point reese hitch.
    Some pins at the rear wheels, make a fork at the top. Rmove the bar for the axle out front. Make a cross pin hole. A few gussetts and it will be close to what I had before that some one removed and never returned. Ok I let the brother in law keep it.

    Was shooting rifles at 6, pistols and shotguns early teens. Was actually a state ranked amateur skeet shooter in my late teens early 20’s.

    “How much are you getting paid to drive down this skinny road, with the 20 ft drop off into the river?”

    Me “$0.15/bushel”

    “Ain’t no way!!”

    Me “Yeah, my boss makes me do it.”

    what I don’t tell them is I’ve hauled 5 loads in there today, the truck had made
    $841.82.
    The load is 17 miles one way, so according to my figures 34 round trip.
    34x5 170 miles.
    $841.82/170 $4.95/mile.

    I hope they stay off MY run.:)
