It used to was....

the place where we could let go and have fun without the 'boss' (Steve/Russ) getting uptight!

But things just kinda got turned in different directions and we all kinda petered out.

Maybe some of us can get it recharged again and maybe not...

Let's see............

How did the farmer find his straying wife?     









He tractor her down!

There is only one reason I continue to get the catalogs from "Scroller" and friends....It gives me great pleasure to take them from the mailbox to the trash can!!!!

Well I don't think it will ever be like the old times and I am now 79 and not near as active as I once was!
Still scroll and butcher wood on occasion tho!!! Just takes longer and have to be much more careful since the 'reaction time' is no longer as quick.

Wow how long has it been since Steve started this forum?

HUGZZZZZZZZ to all....

The Coffee Shop / Looking at life from the seat of a tractor

Just so's y'all know I am still alive and kicking!

Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.

Keep skunks and bankers at a distance.

Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.

A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.

Words that soak into your ears are whispered...not yelled.

Meanness don't just happen overnight.

Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads.

Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.

It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.

You cannot unsay a cruel word.

Every path has a few puddles.

When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.

The best sermons are lived, not preached.

Most of the stuff people worry about, ain't never gonna happen anyway.

Don't judge folks by their relatives.

Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

Live a good and honorable life, then when you get older and think back,
you'll enjoy it a second time.

Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't bothering you none.

Timin' has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.

Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.

The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with,
watches you from the mirror every mornin'.

Always drink upstream from the herd.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.

Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in.

If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence,
try orderin' somebody else's dog around.

Live simply, love generously, care deeply,

Speak kindly, and leave the rest to God.

Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

Hey there friend!
Cutting wood is fine!
Cutting fingers is a "no/no"!!!!!

Glad the healing process is in motion and your return to "cutting wood" should be soon.....

Typical Missouri in summer, Hot, Humid, Lazy......

But back at the saw and it feels damn good even if I have to keep cleaning and re-waxing the table due to sweaty forearms.
Can't believe how much I missed this tranquil time!
Something to be said for my 'happy pills' and a few hours and making some interesting holes in plain wood!

Hugz to all
