Where is everyone #5

I saw a load of mini ex's the other day small enough to set two side by side on a flat.

May not be a new thing, just the first time I've seen em that small. Looked like a toy. My house got hit by a tornado in 21', and the little skid steer was handy. Wish we had one of the small mini ex's back then.

 

I've got a little Kubota KH41 had it for something like 25 years I'll never get rid of it way better than a shovel. I think it's like 39" wide. What ever it won't do my Komatsu PC-400 can handle (bucket on that weighs more than the Mighty Kubota hahaha!)

 

Info to @wore out also...
Either of you ever heard of blowing a ditch with nitrate of soda and diesel fuel mix. It has been done and long time ago, USDA had a pamphlet out. Any County Agent in around 1950 could give you one. Seems they stopped and it kinda went dark about the time McVeigh blew OK city building.
Any way. Generally it went this way from diagrams I remember.
There was a recipe for mixing the "sody" and fuel.. A suggested lay out of where you wanted the ditch, dig post holes every so often. so deep and how much mix to put in. A certain number in a series to shoot, at a time.
You stretched a line, dug the holes, loaded the holes with the mix, tamped it down. A fuse and detonator in the middle hole or elec..
Way it worked, det blew the one, and the jar set off the adjoining. Do a stretch and reset again. Simple...

Now don't get on Google and start searching for this as it might get us all on a list somewhere. I am 89, honest, good rep, had security clear.
I can stand a query. Not sure about you two.

 

You got to come down to the southwest to get some good mexican food . New mexico , cali, az, texas, in that order.. everywhere else ive tried it is just ok . And most times not good at all

 

So I’ve had this lil C13 in the shop last few days. Water leaks couple different ones but main one is water pump. Anyway i noticed something here wasn’t right Thursday afternoon. When I went to get my parts Friday they didn’t have it in stock so I ordered it. Slipped my mind to say something to the customer on Friday, i ain’t felt the best. So anyway it rocks on till this am and i remember and call him to tell him. He tells me tape it up……that he spent enough on this little truck already…..I ain’t gotta replace it before it leaves but I be god #### if I tape that #### up

 

my son runs one of those as he installs pools here in AZ. says they are the perfect size to get thru the back gates, they have a bobcat excavator and he totes the fill to the street to load onto the truck

my son is a big ol boy and says it is a #### tight squeeze to get his a s s into the seat.

 

I'm heading to town down the grade this morning mosey along as usual no hurry little car comes zooming up behind round he goes, probably 55-60 in a 35. Better hope the sheriff isn't sitting at the bottom buddy. Come around the hatchery curve well I'll be! The sheriff WAS sitting at the bottom!
Aaaaaaanyway, the whole point of this- I'm rollin' up slow deputy is just getting out.....well, don't see that every day, that's a first actually....[she] is wearing a uniform color full length (over the ankles) dress! Must be Pentecostal?

 

Unloaded some tractors off the lowboy Thursday at the show ground, then let our 16 yr old grandson drive the W900 around the field pulling the empty lowboy. Friday we were going to be setting up and I told him to come over early, so Friday morning I get this text lol…..

 

He had an awful little head. I wasn’t sure at first he was a copperhead. I mean his stubby tail says so but I couldn’t make the head suit me. Then he showed me his whole ### eye and got whacked with my shovel. Gypsy is doing the time of death inspection here or what ever that’s called

 

One of the original designers of the Bobcat built it for a turkey farmer to clean out his two story turkey house. That is why it was so small and light, and the original was a three wheel deal. Machine has come a long way.
