Roy I say stick with the current tires also I loaded my front tires because I leave my back hoe on all the time a little light up front with all the weight on the back..

Roy, congrats on the new tractor, You will love the cab cleaning snow. I have turfs on my tractor loaded and have no problem moving snow. Years ago I had a JD 410 backhoe with R4 it was always a challenge plowing my hill I vote for the turfs, if you keep the present tires you might think of chains.

Woke to 7 inches of snow this morning first time this winter I used my snowblower.

Larro, I looked up your county, and is it right that it has 14K residents? If that is right, wow. My HS had 4k in 3 grades.

Yep, it's getting way too crowded. There were 28 in my Sr class. These days it's not uncommon for me to see people drive by the house that I don't even know.

I used to live where there were 400 people in the whole town, and that covered lot of square miles. Locals--older people-- would sometimes call the police if they saw someone drive by that they didn't know, especially if they didn't wave and/or looked "suspicious". We had a lot of good laughs over that.

anyone else ever dispose of a mattress by cutting it apart? lol

I'm not opposed to paying tax. My family has got a lot from the government over the years. Daddy got his 100% disability from the VA before he died, so Mamma gets half of it, plus her meds are paid for through a VA program. Not to mention she will turn 87 in 8 days, so she has been drawing SS for 25 years, yet she only worked a few years in the 1950's. At least one hayfield, and a lot of the pine trees we have planted over the years were on a cost sharing program, and the longleaf pines were on a 15 year conservation program where we were paid $1048 a year to take 28 acres out of row crops. And last but not least, Margie is a county official and draws her pay from the taxpayers. {So I guess I am one of those takers too}

All in all, I shouldn't complain. Florida doesn't have a state income tax, and our property tax is just over $2K, and most of that is for the house. The farm and timber land is crazy cheap. The largest piece of land we have is 55 acres {on the Chipola
River} and it's about $200 a year in taxes.

When I was growing up, there were three houses on the two roads the farm are on. Each road is about two miles. Now, if you count the houses down on the river, there are close to thirty houses on the two roads. But I still wave at everybody on "my roads". I do know most of them by sight, if not by name.

Kyle,

I hope you're making the pilgrimage to Moo-Moo's when you visit Mom ... dead cow burgers that good deserve being consumed at every possible opportunity.

rs, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but, Moo-moos in Victoria has been closed for a number of years. All of them I believe. They also had great fried chicken. They were the last place that I knew that sold milk in returnable glass bottles. Gallon size.

The best burger in Victoria is an old establishment called Dairy Treet. Awesome burgers.

Don't recall a mattress but a few things have gone to the dump in weekly pieces over the years.

I envy Thomas going on a dump run. Can't do that here.
