    I believe in live and let live .. but here’s a slice of probably worthless advice .. Stick to you Guns Them Range maggots are stupid and their stink is hard to get off you especially when their wet
    And them bacon wagons that’s just trailer trash trucking anymore with Hogan and JB Hunt involved
    Just keep stroll’n down Bovine Boulevard if at all possible JMHO

    I knew better but at 1st glance in the picture it looked a lot like the 79 I put together last summer but it has a bagged front axle the air cans are different and it doesn’t have a tag axle

    It's a ranch, so maybe I can get away with posting it here. Besides, the Gus and Doc saga has been pretty slow, and even @tramm01 is behaving himself it seems!

    It's kind if a long story:

    In 2021 they had us bid on redoing their irrigation diversion. They chose to do it themselves and built the embankment across most of the river, but they didn't leave enough room to handle run-off.
    We are going to open up the berm that they built shown in the photo, construct a high-flow channel, and armor it with some of the rock that they imported previously. We will also be adding a number of log structures upstream for bank stabilization.
