That’s always very helpful.

A brush hog is the best metal detector for farm fencing and logging cable that has ever been invented.
🦫
LOL... Yeah, I could write a book.  Most of the time it's old, rolled up barbwire, and sometimes cattle panels left flat on the ground. But once, I found an old steel/porcelain bath tub they'd used as a water trough, but had been dragged off and weeds/brush had grown up so that I couldn't see it. Hit the PTO kill switch quick, but not before it looked like a rolled up burrito. Mowed over an old bed spring mattress on my second pass through some thick stuff trying to slick it off. My 115hp tractor and 10' heavy duty Bush Wacker made it a he'll of a job.
Life is good live it while you can.

Hit the PTO kill switch quick, but not before it looked like a rolled up burrito. I backed a brush hog into an overgrown corner, set it down, and found a part roll of re-mesh someone had discarded. An hour later, out of breath from using bad language, I went back to work.  Thought I'd wear that little pair of bolt cutters out on that mess!
I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon.

My wife is a great “organizer”. When i can’t find something, five’ll get you ten she’s organized it into a new secret location because SHE doesn’t use it, hence it should be put someplace where it doesn’t clutter up the stuff SHE uses. I must be married to her sister. That is exactly what happens here. My wife has to move everything she touches. She might move it an inch or she might move it to some unknown location, but it will be moved.

That’s always very helpful. If I'm missing something, my wife is the first person I go to. Ain't but 2 of us out here, and if it's missing, she moved it.  No matter how many pep talks we have about "Don't Touch My Chit!".... It still happens regularly.

We had to find every chain on the place to move a cistern the other day.
Still haven't found them all.

He says, you're just like my father in law, never puts anything away.
I still so off reget not telling him to walk back down the lane.

We had a road hunter get stuck in a spring once. Not only was he driving around when he wasn't supposed to...he was off the trail completely. Told him to hire a wrecker.....I was too busy. Pickup froze down because they pricked around too long. Got the front half out with a chain an a big tractor. Back half was a few weeks later.

The thing about 10mm sockets is that when they're made, they're coated with vanish.

I don't lose things. I have a Paper Mate pen from pre-1985 and have to buy refills. It's a burden.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

So......where’d you put it wife? 🦫

Does RR stand for Railroad? SuckAssC, Gayghost and Jim/TN loves trains... Watch yourself...
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Can't find the one & only spotting scope window mount I've ever had. Bought it years ago, take it out of the truck at the end of every season, put it in the one & only place it EVER goes, go to get it last month...gone. Gutted both trucks and camper multiple times, every closet repeatedly...gone. Bought a new one.
Big question is why do I (we) go back and look in the same places we've already looked, and not just once?
