Apple juicers , especially the old rat tailed breed were generally a tough horse with good, tough laminated feet. My good friend, (a native) would always say that" if we weren't mad when we started off to war we were mad as heck when we got there" He was speaking about the troubles riding their appaloosa war horses. He was speaking in jest. There are very , very excellent "apple juicers" these days- some very flashy. This I get....city people I don't.

Hauled a lot of hay when I was in high school, hot, dirty, dusty, don’t miss that. We got ten cents a bale to get it out of the field and stack in the barn. That’s split 3 ways. That’s how I got money to go to the cat house in LaGrange.
Hauled a little after high school when I was a first year apprentice. That was 1972. That was my first experience with fire ants. They showed up here in 72, wasn’t none in the summer of 71.

Looks like fun Shrap.. Been fixing fence with the neighbor here too. Been a real pain as it burned over it two years ago so the wire breaks very easily, but in true eastern MT fashion we got it “good enough to turn cows” and went on. Packing brace posts, spud bar, auger, etc along the ridge was sure fun though...grin.
I will say, I’ve seen a bit of that Lexington country horse fence and it looks mighty fine and hell for stout, however I don’t think it’d make a whole lot of sense to put that on 20 sections of BLM. Different country calls for different fence I reckon.

Having seen the gun and the fence, I'm sure Shrap has his priorities right. Great looking gun.

Sam O, you are up before breakfast. It's not even daylight in Iowa, what you doing up so early? Richard, flooding alfalfa, moving siphons early or late is a pain in the ass...... Should be done with the 2019 irrigation season tomorrow around noon. Can't find my damn pants, WTF?! Happy birfday fellow farmer. Thanks man, it was fun, just the wife and I getting stupid together. My head is a little fuzzy this morning....... Outta practice? HB late. I have been trying to cut back but wife went and bought a jug for my b-day....

I'm glad it's you moving those pipes around Sam. I see center pivot irrigation in Minnesota, and Nebraska., and few just south of us on sandy soil. Those call for deep wells or a shallow aquifer like they have at Ogallala, Nebraska.

Richard, the Missouri is still running high here.
It was easy priming the pumps.

I started life with all my earthly possessions in a melon crate on the backseat of a '63 Plymouth Valiant. I bought the Valiant at a junkyard with a blown motor in it,...drove it for several years. We really going to get into "who pees the biggest stream" contest here?

There's a flowing river from this place already. Any more they'll be issuing flood warnings.

Contracted five strand red wire, steel post and steel pipe corner sets runs $2000, + per quarter mile in my area of SW Missouri. If their wasn't such things as lonely neighbors bulls, falling trees, hunting trespassers climbing them, they would last a lot longer. Anyone ever hear of a son in law that would help build fence? Mine only know how to eat and nap after they overeat. GW
