    This pup needs something he is wide ### open. Pulls on Gypsy’s neck hair till she thumps his stub. His attention span is very short. But all that said he wants to go wherever you do even if it’s the crapper.

    If you’re gonna work him hard I’d leave him whole— if you’re not then rob him— The Boys have been cut and they’re gritty enough to go as far as my old ### wants to go and that’s good enough for me

    And of course if you’re wanting to start raising pups it’d be a good idea to keep him intact —-less he identifies as… never mind

    Without knowing the actual withheld; and the settlement proffered, it may be sort of empty other than the money to lawyers and getting it out of the way. and into a book entry.
    I liken it to Clark Equipment years ago. Though not as tech as JD; they kept lots of info secret and if to a dealer, only trusted and they kept tight.
    However, I note the 10 year ref of this dragging on. But in this 10 years, a lot of the secret stuff has forced work around's and is not so much give up now. And they have advanced, so new may be needed more than prior. Could be a shallow victory.
    Clark Equipment hung on to "we are the top, best and only factory/dealer mechanics" should be trusted with repair. Sometime in about 1975, some good ole boy examined the starters and alternators . Damh, these are the same as on his 1975 Impala and NAPA had. One part # was sealed for a wet converter, but any rebuilder would open the dry and install the seal. And he would rebuild his inventory half and half. End of the then $89 starter for the local $35.
    Also learned that I and partner could install the steels and fiber disc in a Clark Hydratork powershift ourselves; without the thin, inside/outside splined tool that only dealers could buy. Set the pack case on a workbench, we sit on sides in chairs. With the piston and seal rings in, the F and R packs, fish a fiber disc in with a thin small stem flat screwdriver and wiggle to position. Then a fiber finessed in to match, place a piece of key stock in the groove at bottom to stabilize. so all would stay in line for shaft fit. Careful and both packs done, then slide the shaft in. Mess up. start over.
    A year after we opened our shop, found a parts man in a distant dealership who wanted to sell parts to get us the tool.

    I’ve got female outta Doc or my daughter does I really like. John a very good friend of mine has little Cooter he has offered to breed if I come up with a good female. He is my favorite Doc son. We are talking about it and making him the corner stone of our program.


    We vaccinated and wormed calves today before turning them out. Sorting was such a m’fer. You have no idea the value of a good cow dog. I’m still mad at that fker for checking out on me. I gotta find a way to put that aside. That said wherever he’s at I hope the water is clear and cold, the grass is short and the shade is plentiful. A gentle breeze and GD tick on his balls for leaving me in this shape
