That post hole auger looks like a hard work out

Columbus, OH. There was a software consulting company in that building years ago called Sogeti (may still be, for all I know, but Google Maps doesn't show them); we piqued each other's interest enough that I went there for an interview. Didn't end up working for them, because I found somebody even better closer, but I enjoyed seeing the building.

For Bwana. Maybe next year I'll get you a Danuser.

Grew up with one. Dad had it, we kids dug "wells" all over. It was about 8 inches, and you could add pipe extensions. I think Dad dug a real well with it in DesMoines way back when.

I will take a couple of those S&W's, a few of the rifles, and may as well restock all the shovels and picks.

kingston, is it all right if us giftees swap around a bit?
Gus don't need the forks, we do, to clear it away.

Those hay trollys go back to when mowing hay was how it was done. Pulling the bales, and loose hay before baling, up off the rack, through the pulleys, into the haymow, and yelling for the fork sticker guy to trip the bales.
I learned to stand loose on an empty haymow floor, when eight bale hit the floor from the track, it would lift you off of it. and brake about half the bales till a layer was built for a cushion.
We have not done that since 1963.

For SLM, you could have used this last week over in the VBTE.

No, what a rude question. I put a lot of thought into this...


They used to say, "Never look a gift horse in the mouth."

Now kingston, this is startin' to read like a last will, and testiment, you willin' all sorts of things to folks.

You been feelin' well?

You can't have my dog or my wife, and yes, my dog is still dead.



BTW: Good work on the spelling.
