    Well, tie me to a monkey! (HT @MAUFRAIS) I've been around a looong time and never once did it occur to me to put cheezits in my soup and such. I feel shame and sadness.

    Without going to the net I’ll guess Webley. British big bore military from WWI

    Not sure why you'd ruin a perfectly good fork, but you do you.

    You have to remember that most of us Big 8 types have been hating OU for decades. We always rooted for UT to beat OU. Old habits die hard.

    One of our bigger Amish customers rolls tin and trim for metal-clad post frame buildings that they sell to the "English". As part of the process they have learned and been certified to do electrical and plumbing. Nothing funnier than watching a 12 yr old drive a self-propelled DitchWitch trencher up onto a horse drawn cart to go to the next job. Hutterites are interesting colonies. They actually embrace the tech, have phones and computers and are adept at programming PLCs and the like. The North Dakota colony that we deal with has smart phones and internet. I share files with them regularly. Like you said, they are pretty good at figuring out work arounds for just about anything that a job throws at them. Our Amish folks, on the other hand, had to get clearance from the deacons to allow us to use magnets on a stacker.

    Really? Dumb Joc

    Our company makes manufacturing equipment for the Amish and Hutterites throughout the Midwest. It's really strange to see what the Deacons for one clan will approve while the next settlement over won't go that far. Almost all of them are OK with a standalone internal combustion engine that will spin a main shaft for all of their belt-driven equipment.

    I see it a lot like that lady in the wicker basket dodging all of the swords that the dude in the Ali Baba outfit starts poking at her.

    Getting old sucks

    Shoxthemonkey replied to Hate's topic in Lulz

    My mom had Alzheimers for more than 10 years before she passed. For the majority of those years she was unable to communicate with us in any way. After she passed, I was going through her stuff and found a Big Chief tablet that she had used daily for the first few months of her affliction. This was before any of us knew that she was struggling. She would print the date and then she would sign her name 10 times. Each page was worse and worse and then she just stopped. That was a gut punch. She knew she was fucked and never told any of us that she needed help.

    I'm on a golf trip to the Lake of the Ozarks region. They have had a lot of rain over the last week so all of the courses have been cart path only. Fuuuuck. 36 holes yesterday has left me as stiff as a wedding dick this morning. I have until 10:30 to recover for 18 more today. That's a lot of walking for an old guy.

    That is fucking awesome. I would have never guessed it would make it from one season to the next.

    Nope. He closed the hatch and sealed Shatner's fate

    STOP ALL OF THIS HOKEY BULLSHIT AND GET ON WITH IT
  14. Shoxthemonkey
    nope. 1970, bro.

    I wish. I was so poor I had to wear Saddle Kings shit from Sutherlands.

    Were you at MooreSpeed Sunday? Porsche vs Ferrari get together. Lots of nice rides to look at. I had a visible V-8 model when I was a kid. Gave me a lot more understanding of the inner workings of an ICE. That looks like a good one.
  17. Shoxthemonkey
    That's pretty stout for a kid that doesn't weigh more than #50. Well done. Strong clamp game too.

    Just your everyday Chernobyl swine.

    That might work too, but that hand clutch makes it real handy to just ease forward a bit. Nothing worse than pulling a calf that has been dead for a bit. I had to burn a fairly new denim jacket because no amount of washing could get rid of the stink after one of those.
  20. Shoxthemonkey
    An old Vet told me that the WD Allis with a hand clutch was the greatest calf puller ever invented. I think he was kidding.
  21. Shoxthemonkey
    I'm surprised that this didn't get any run here.
  22. Shoxthemonkey
    I need to see it with the lid removed. If it is just a ring around the perimeter with an empty middle, I'd eat it but would be disappoint. If it spirals all the way to the center, I would ask for seconds.

    Curacao Arizona is my biatch. Kodiak Kansas. Big, hairy, flatchested.

    @deadshank and @ROFL BOX know their way around sheet metal. Keep your $200 in Surly circulation.

    Last nights supper. Leftover corn , mashed taters and gravy. Not shown was the dab of green bean casserole in yet another cold cut container.
