Midwest Post Hor Thread

Good morning.

 

[Nokomis]

I've been through it before and again I had to do the thing that all pet owners dread and struggle with, my 14 yo girl with renal failure but a heart of gold.

I fought my wife and son about getting a pup last year, glad we did I don't think I could take an empty house.

It's been a week and I can barely do this.

Man that sucks. They become more like a child than a pet at times. We love our fur babies and it hurts to lose them. She looked like she was truly loved and lived a great life. Hold on to the memories. My condolences, sir.

We lost our Ellie in Sept 14 1/2 that was tough but now we have the !annie dog, a rescue from Oklahoma

 

[Sleek-Jet]

Lost my Alley girl last May. Still haven't got another dog, one day though.

 

[Blue Oval]

Lost a couple dogs in the last few years. Tuff stuff. But on a positive note, this is a picture from one of my customers today. Their Golden just had pups. Thank goodness Andy got his pup back. Fee would be pretty bent up if I brought one of these home.

While we're on the dog topic.... My son found this little girl wandering in his neighborhood Saturday evening.... No name tag and none of his neighbors recognized her.... he has 2 large dogs that wouldn't take kindly to a little one, so he asked if we could watch her until the owner was found... She's a great dog, not really my type, but very well mannered.

Anyway, 2 days later... the owner was found and a tearful reunion happened last night....

We're not all Californians, don't be strangers, really enjoy the point of view.

“Ricky Bobby” is about 7 months now I’d guess.

He Humps Drake the Alpha Lab but has since moved onto just humping Budder the female lab.

Has yet to try and hump the yorkie-poo.

Everyday is an opportunity for some people to push the needle on how critical they can be towards others and how sensitive and offended they pretend to be about themselves.

Mornin gang. Balmy 15 degrees this morning. Time to start thinking spring. Planter number one is coming into the shop today.

Do you guys spread or chisel in any manure over the winter?

Good morning,I hope you will start a new new thread on this year's farming adventure. Lasts years was very interesting and enlightening.

Good morning.

HIs tempo is all over the place, unable to accurately define him.

 

[77 SLEEK]

Good morning. 1 day closer to spring.

 

[monkeyswrench]

@Tractorsdontfloat , do you bring the planter in and do maintenance type stuff, or does it really get an annual once over, fixing anything that may be an issue? I'm sure it would suck to have it go down, literally, in the field.

 

[GRADS]

I'm kind of an Undercover Moderator. I locked it because the thread had run it's course.

 

[TripleB]

Well Ok then

 

[monkeyswrench]

He's lying...otherwise he'd have to ban himself weekly.
Weird though. Usually when a thread gets locked, the mod who does it makes the final post. That one, they just pulled the cord.

I have to ban myself every once in a while, to not blow my cover. It's obviously working.

I wonder who did then?

 

[monkeyswrench]

I don't think the starter can lock it, but they could ask for it to be, I think.

Other than that, I have a theory...but I'm not sayin' 'nuffin

 

[96scarab]

Yeah this whole thing is strange!!

 

[Tractorsdontfloat]

Nope, no critters on our farm. We do periodically work with a dairy to have a field applied with manure once in a while but not very often.

I can. I got a pretty good response to it last year that I am willing to continue. In the Midwest section or the lounge? Probably reach more non farm members in the lounge.

It gets serviced heavily in the winter and basically is brand new starting each season. Hopefully no major repairs are needed in season, but lots of electrical sensors in a dirty environment ... you do the math.

 

[buck35]

I think this section gets plenty of traffic, and it is the Midwest so I'd leave it here! Looking forward to it and hope you have a great year.

Afternoon?

I've been standing out in a substation control house all week. At least the heaters work really well...

Here it shall be. I'll try to continue the story and not repeat myself too badly. Hopefully we can get some interaction and questions going. Makes my end of the thread much more interesting and easy when the work is done for me in the form of questions. Thanks Buck

...and words like that are what kept my wife from moving further east or north.

I'm laughing over here cause words like that make me want to move further south or west.

Morning yall. Currently 40° here in st.louis. headin to a bachelor party at my buddys farm....gonna be a long rough weekend

 

[jb600]

TGIF all. One thing about being a stone’s throw from cheddar land is cheap beer prices. Especially on 30 packs of my favorite.

Welp its 10 p.m. and me and another buddy had to rush a friend to the emergency room. Flipped their side by side and definitely gonna need stiches....I knew it was gonna be a long weekend

Bachelor parties out that way must be different then I had pictured...
Hope it's just some stitches, and nothing too bad...also hope it isn't the groom. A few months before I got married, I pulled the rear wheels of my dirtbike and my chopper. I figured I'd lose interest if I had to reassemble to ride No new scars or casts for the wedding

I guess the party will be memorable for some of the attendees.

Welp...I'm staying the night at the hospital with him. He has surgery at 9 am tomorrow morning. It's pretty rowdy. Tendions are exposed and they aren't too happy with us joking around and stuff like that. He is in good spirits and not in alot of pain so that's good.

Morphine tends to take the edge off
Surgery blows, but could be worse. I would say "have fun"...how about "good luck"? Never know, sometimes you get a hot nurse on graveyard!

Damn, just saw the pic.. at least they got everything clean. Hopefully he isn'toff work too much.

 

[Sleek-Jet]

 

[monkeyswrench]

I aggree with the barfing...nasty

Yikes! Is that his forearm? I wouldn't be joking about this.

I hope he has a fast and full recovery.
