Wait! Is that a rear camera and back up sensors I see???

I was wondering if someone would snag me on that! :laughing:

I never even remembered to look at the back-up camera.....the rear sensors always go off with the trailer so I shut them off.
Good catch!

Well, it sounds good, but........I have to split any profits with the previous owner......I've had several "no pay" months......checks for 41 cents.....guys driving on the property any time they need to.....etc.

We'll see if it pans out in the future, supposedly I get free NG to 1 residence when I build in the future.

I knew safety chains were a bad idea.

Unburied pipes around wells bite! Wait until you hit a flow line covered by grass with a mower. You can't make the tractor move fast enough. Pucker factor of 9!!

That and the thought of an exploding gas line under your mower.....
Luckily the well wasn't active. Took a day to trackdown the operator to let him know he had a 6" hole in a flow line and it would be a good idea to fix it and mark the line so it wouldn't happen again.

Well, that was some good luck and them there are safety chains. It was good luck to discover the pipe in that way instead of it sticking through a $500 tractor tire and much safer to find the pipe that way than with the mower.

Fortunately for me, the pipes aren't hooked up at both ends, so no gas or oil in them. They are definitely becoming a menace, at least 4 separate places on the property I keep running into them doing groundwork, and they are TOUGH.....my dozer can't even bust em apart!
