Good morning!!!!

Whoa.
You continue to spout unfortunate nonsense in the middle of the night.
All I have ever done is tell the Truth. No exaggeration, no making fun of the guy just to make fun of him.
I have to deal with him almost every day and he is a paranoid delusional alcoholic.
Since you seem to be offended by my "reporting" I'll try to report less.

You can't denigrate someone or something when you tell the truth. I am literally the only neighbor who will have anything to do with him.
Sometimes you have to call a spade a spade.

If you are looking to throw rocks, please find another thread. If you are looking to defend an unfortunate, you are barking up the wrong tree here.
At least I'm glad you understand that Quakerism is built on compassion, since you brought my faith into this.
Let's move on.

Drew - You are learning the value of the "ignore" function. However when someone quotes a poster on your ignore list you still see their posts.

thanks, I sure see that in the Tesla semi thread. I wish I'd never started that.
I mean, when someone responds to another, and please excuse my language, this is verbatim, That's a dumbass answer right in the middle of a cordial discussion by others,
seems to me you just have folks looking for attention. Any kind of attention. Same mentality as the folks who throw litter and trash on my roadsides. Just verbal trash.

Now if Eric were to reply, Now Sir, that is just tommyrot! I'd probably enjoy that...

REALLY?????

Just more PC BS or a troll without a clue? Drew is likely this guys best, maybe only benefactor.

I think we're being a little rough on a new member of the Good Morning community, aren't we?

As Drew had written, if Thall knew the history of Drunken Farmer, he may not have made that post...
Although I read his post as being in jest, not serous at all....

33 right now...high in the low 70's today. Looks to be a beautiful day ahead of us!

Long day yesterday (left at 0430, arrived home just after 2000). The meeting was OK...concerned AS 9100 (aerospace version of ISO 9000) and how we're to incorporate the upcoming revision to that specification.

Now that I've bored you all...
No particular plans today....no mandatory chores...so, we'll take it as it comes...

actually...you aren't. Standards are our highways to progress. And keep planes from falling out of the air.
My own view on this world is an observation of a steady lowering of the bar of standards in general.
Perhaps more social standards than engineering ones.
But my Father probably thought the same thing.

That's mighty generous of you. But that's too far to tow equipment. One day I'll rent one locally, and you can teach me how to operate it.

Always up for a weekend trip and happy to share my knowledge no matter how limited it might be

Thall is tired of me calling the guy a drunk and thinking I'm poking fun at the guy's misfortune. If he was right in that assumption, he would have every reason to
give me a piece of his mind. But my neighbor usually has a sippy cup with him sloshing cheap brown liquor all over the place, and his hooting and hollering in the middle of the night
is legendary. His weaving around on his tractor while totally blitzed is a sight to see.

I may be compassionate but I also believe the best defense is a good offense. So I'm doing whatever I can to enable my neighbor to better tend to his land. And in the process I'm learning something about farming, which really interests me.

I haven't seen his posts before...so, I'll withdraw my comments above.

I've followed your posts, Drew...so I do know the history of your neighbor. I'm just not real happy about a TBNer being accused of being a troll without just cause.

Buckeye how is the Polaris treating you and are you still happy with your choice?

Love it, but haven't used it too often. Take an occasional trip to the back of the property. Have friends coming over tonight, wife said to give them the ranger tour, lol.
Just starting to do some physical work since I hurt my back. Almost went 2 months wihout using the kubota.

Neighbor borrowed my PHD, have it mounted on a pallet rack, so i forked it outside for him, then brought pellets to the house the other day.
He just had a barn built last week.



Plan to mow the field today with my small massey. Much older than drews new one, It could use some tlc, like oil change and a good wash. Hope the tractor napper stays away from here, but might keep the dirt disguise on just in case.

Dad sold another bull and more cows, he's down to 8 head left, mostly young from this yr. That will help him out.

Good Morning!!!! 47F @ 6:15AM. 0% Precip. / 0.00 in. Mostly Sunny. High near 65F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.

When comments from certain posters consistently lose basic qualities of politeness and kindness and become judgemental and mean spirited, it's time to limber up the Ignore feature and move on. Just sayin' life's too short to be wasting any of it on Trolls.

Riding buddy arrived safe'n'sound yesterday afternoon as the overcast was breaking up, and in plenty of time to enjoy a nice sunset and a wee dram of Scotch. The Instant Pot of spaghetti turned out wonderfully, and we had a nice hour or so going over maps, looking at options for our route today and possibilities for day rides over on the coast. Looking forward to a dirt road or two later today, and good camaraderie in the days ahead.

BTW, Don, the Instant Pot got a good review in the latest issue of Consumer Reports magazine, though I don't understand their complaint about not being able to brown chicken. I browned three dozen meatballs yesterday without problem, just using the High setting of the Saute function, and it was hot enough I had to pay attention or they would have burned. They also failed to even mention the slow cook capability, the one I use the most!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
