  1. Tell em your land identifies as valuable......
  2. We were talking about this last night at home, yes there are reports he had mental issues. You would have to be suicidal or mentally unstable/handicapped to do something like this. Very sad for his family.
  3. Tell them you will sell the bog for 10 billion.......
  4. Hang on to it. There are folks that use/collect these. I have to wonder tho, if you have a realistic target price in mind. If you do it should sell reasonably quickly. Not in one day or even a week, but it shouldn't take long.
  5. In your situation, I would put a push bumper of some kind on the truck and invest in an A frame and a hoist. Or maybe a cherry picker. I probably would not mount tractor implements on my truck. There is a reason it's not done much anymore....🤷‍♂️ But I have a truck and several tractors with loaders at my disposal. As well as a cherry picker.
  6. Perhaps this has already been posted, but I laughed
  7. My belly hurts and my eyes are all blurry from laughing so hard.....🤫🤣

    AWOL

    Good to see you back.
  9. After 5 years of sitting, there is a good chance the injector pump was gummed up with the fuel that's been available for the last 10? Or so years. Turning it over could have damaged the pump. The clunking noise I can't comment on.
  10. Sending prayers your way Dale.
  11. I would also suspect rhe condesor first. Followed by the coil.
  12. I dont know anything, but it looks good from here! And I'm guessing probably as good or better than it originally was.
  13. I haven't noticed any on the road lately. When we got married my wife had a black z24? That she bought new. V6 automatic. It was a nice little car. We traded it off on a new 91 thunder bird sport. When we had our first child we traded that on a 95 intrepid. Wife never cared for the thunderbird as it didn't get around in the winter real well with out studded snows and some weight in the trunk. I have wondered a few times what ever happened to her cavalier.
  14. I wouldn't worry about it. Half circles are nicer to handle if taking on and off. My 560 had halfs on it when I bought it. They are staying there unless I have a good reason to mess with then. Many tractors running weights that are not original to their series, both newer and older. Weights expensive. What ever is handy and the most reasonably priced gets ran in a lot of cases.
  15. Any quality name brand auto darkening helmet will be satisfactory. I even bought a no name from harbored freight or somewhere. It was fine until the battery went dead. I think most now have replaceable batteries.
  16. Hold your horses", sometimes said as "Hold the horses", is an English-language idiom meaning "wait, slow down". The phrase is historically related to horse riding or travelling by horse, or driving a horse-drawn vehicle. A number of explanations, all unverified, have been offered for the origins of the phrase, dating back to usage in Ancient Greece. The saying is typically used when someone is rushing into something. "Cool your jets" is an essentially identical idiom. However it also has a more literal meaning and in certain circumstances is the preferred idiom to use. "Hold your horses" literally means to keep your horse(s) still, not to be confused with holding them in a stable. Someone is to slow down when going too fast,[1] or to wait a moment, or to be more careful,[2] or to be patient before acting. It is usually followed up with an explanation to demonstrate why you should wait.[3] For example, "Hold your horses, we have not won yet, so don't start celebrating."[4] and "Hold your horses, you haven't thought about this yet" or "Hold your horses, you might find a better one for the same price in another store"[5] or "Hold your horses. We're almost there."[2] Origins edit There are several sources documenting the usage of "hold your horses" In Book 23 of the Iliad, Homer writes "Hold your horses!" when referring to Antilochus driving like a maniac in a chariot race that Achilles initiates in the funeral games for Patroclus.[6][7] During the noise of battle, a Roman soldier would hold his horses. After the invention of gunpowder, the Chinese would have to hold their horses because of the noise. Idiomatic meaning: A 19th-century United States origin, where it was written as 'hold your hosses' ("hoss" being a US slang term for horse) and appears in print that way many times from 1843 onwards. It is also the first attested usage in the idiomatic meaning.[8] Example: from Picayune (New Orleans) in September 1844, "Oh, hold your hosses, Squire. There's no use gettin' riled, no how."[9] In Chatelaine, 1939, the modern spelling arises: "Hold your horses, dear."[9] The term may have originated from army artillery units. Example: Hunt and Pringle's Service Slang (1943) quotes "Hold your horses, hold the job until further orders".[9] Dave Chappelle used the figurative term on his show towards Jim Brewer in a marijuana commercial Other explanations come from its relation to stability and maintaining stability.
