1971 ford 3000 tires and chains are brand new. 47 horse. probably not the best instal job on the chains but they are a beast to get right. came with the chains on. Isa has a side hill farm so no point in takeing them off.. I leave the chains on my yard truck year around as well. sucks dealing with them.

And another one leaves us, Jerry Jeff Walker. I went to two of his concerts but he only showed up for one of them. This recording was the concert I attended. Jerry Jeff Walker ≈ Mr. Bojangles https://youtu.be/Tw2sKgUYSww

Of course Covid-19 does not respect politics, but this graph show cases per million population, by state, by political affiliation, since June 1. Hmmmmmm! There does seem to be a pattern.

@NickG T-Hocking ...Welcome to Redpoint Climbing!

"Woah...where am I and what year is this?" Mickey asked the man he thought might be a nurse, based on the decor of the room he was in.....

This one's always been one of my favorites, so I decided to give it a go yesterday...(way better with earbuds...) Think of What You've Done

David! Harmless, although they can release a "potent musk" when messed with. Harley avoids snakes longer than 12".

@T-Hocking said in Road Trippin' Rigs: If I recall correctly it was Australia or New Zealand? Looking closer I don't think the one I saw had twin screws. And likely a tad smaller, but damn similar. Heh, I note that rig is sporting a couple Grateful Dead stickers. Oh yeah, got sidetracked by that monster and almost forgot... @T-Hocking said in Road Trippin' Rigs: Hey gang, Tad from the old ST days. Welcome to RPU. Yippie yi-yo kiyay! Feel free to drop in on the Welcome & Introduction Thread and say "Howdy". There is also the Who are we ? thread started by @NickG Enjoy!

Thank you for the kind thoughts. I should clarify that Cochise transitioned many years ago now. We were doing some tidying and reorganizing last weekend when Genifer found the pic of him above. He was old and his kidneys were failing so it was time to say goodbye. I cradled his head, holding my forehead to his for one last "mind meld" as the vet released the surgical tubing tourniquet and allowed the massive barbiturate dose to run its course and stop his heart. Vets dispose of dead pets in the dumpster unless you've made arrangements. I appreciated his honesty. I took him home, dug a grave in January frozen ground and buried him in a yard my family no longer owns. I've had a lot of dogs. All of them special in their own ways. Cochise was extra special. Takes a certain head to be a lead dog. I treasure his memory. And I really hope there is a Rainbow Bridge.

Or are they? Or not a bounce? Aye, that is the big question of the day, eh? Dead Cat Bounce? High volume sell offs and ensuing dives in each of 2018, 2019, and 2020. Each of which increasing exponentially in magnitude year on year. Hmmm....... Maybe a pattern here?

Dingus can be pretty firey

@David-Harris said in History of Rock Climbing: Not to say that those areas are dull and boring, or that the book is crap, just that he's being a bit dishonest with his readers. He is not using the same criteria you are. With my river running background, including Hell's Canyon, I never thought it was 7.900 ft. deep, but the facts you disagree with on elevation differences in California, are widely accepted. As a historian, he uses what he finds, hopefully with some fact-checking.

looks like a really nice remote feeling place.

@FritzRay Ho man!!! It seems we be needin' a Tractor Thread on RPU! P.S.; Could you please trailer that rig the next time yer' makin' a Costco run to Boise? Oooh, la, la!!
