    Here's a happy story for today before I head out. I got a call last night from a young local business owner (well, young to me as I had my CDL when he was born :(). He wanted to know if I could do some work on a piece of equipment for him as he's trying to keep his driver going (driver is my age and a good hand- don't let him go!). No problem, sounds windy where you at? He's working right now for someone else for a paycheck to keep cash flowing and his driver paid until the spring work picks up. There is just no quit in this guy no matter what is thrown at him, and he's had a lot in the past year. Not all young(er) folks are slackers.

    I wasn't going to say anything, but keeping my mouth shut has never been a strong point.

    There are a high percentage of folks who think the coming resession/depression will be much more then just a financial consideration.

    Down here we have each others backs no matter what the problem. So yes, if you are friends or family and yes, even those who cannot stand up for yourself, I will stand with you or for you.

    I never thought I would say this ;):cool:, but yes, I agree with Six, defend your neighbors home or yours will be next.

    No, you had the correct track, but it veered to the left and you followed the old tracks straight ahead.

    Please watch the tracks closely or you will run smack dab into that unfriendly black bear.

    :p:rolleyes::cool:

    “What were you saying about a shooting, officer? Attempted home invasion? OMG! I am so frightened! I am shaking! My hearing? Oh, I’m nearly deaf. Did anyone get hurt? Oh my!”

    What are these. I thought they were sprinklers, but there aren't any sprinker heads on them.
