Lol I have, been to cold to do anything mechanical. Been trying to get my M37 done and going, but too cold for my fingers, frost bite years ago, paying for it. Wanna get the dually out and cleaned up, but its buried, prolly till June. Been a long winter, that's for sure

I put a old radio i had laying around in the Ford today. I can't stand driving without a radio.

I also replaced the battery and had the starter rebuilt on the farmall. I'd been hand cranking it for years - it starts so easy now!

Reminds me of the time I was spot spraying with an H and it died on me 2 miles from the farm. The cables were too corroded to crank the starter, so I engaged the belt pulley, put the transmission in neutral, turned on the ignition, and rolled it over. I tried to repeat my results for a half hour at the farm and I never could

Hey Jeff I found you a new car.

Hope your neighbor doesn't log in and see you making fun of his car, Andy

So I got my delivery valve holder socket today, and ordered a diesel timing light adapter.

That's too nice for my neighbors Caleb.

I really despise the IRS and the whole tax thing in general. I know its a part of life here in the U.S., it's hard for someone to work hard, make decent money and provide for my family, just so I can get thrown into another tax bracket. It seems like you get more, if you do less??? Hmm. I guess I will make the best of the deal, I am going to bust my ass and make as much as I can this year so that I come in just shy of the max of the bracket I am in. Best to be at the top of the bracket and not at the bottom.

So much for trying to live the "American Dream"

If I'm not mistaken, this is the first year you've been completely out of the Service, right? Did they drop the hammer on you since none of your pay was military pay?

I am completely done with working for the government both civilian and military. The only time military pay is not taxed as heavy is when you are in a combat zone, more or less tax free. Any other time the stick it to you just the same as any other American. The wife and I just "made too much"...if that sounds right.

Oh, I hear you friend. The power utility that I work for is next to the slum of the greater Quad City area...I see the fruits of "no labor" every day as they walk past our shop. I hope I pass the P.O.S.S. test and get down to the generating station...it's out in the boonies, next to the Mississippi River, away from just about everything
