This thread really grew some legs.

Good to see they have expanded into models with more power.

I'm thinking of getting the Mr. Rocket kit for my coach.

I had a miss in leg #2, but I fixed it.

Coil pack or abscess?

The code didn't say, it just showed "limp in left rear bank".

Think it is safe to take the snows off?

Got a new set of horns for the buggy.....

They're not horns, they're the sensors for the Lidar autonomous cruise control.

Not sure about the next gen version. Looks to have stability issues.

I'm getting with the times brothers, no point in resisting change forever..

I'm wondering if @humfrz was involved with the design of the 2nd gen as its stability issues seem to be related to it going backwards..

Well, I tried to convince the horse breeders to breed in an optional reverse lockout but they said they couldn't do that - :iono:

That's very interesting, so if the breeders had agreed then how would you tell which steed had the option so early in its lifecycle?

Easy enough, just put a barrel in the exercise ring, let the foal into the ring and see it it backs into it.

:confused0068:

I see, sounds like you've seen a few foal/filly barrel interfaces.. I'm glad the breeders ignored your "helpful" suggestion as they would be looking at damaged goods with potential buyers going through each foal/filly until they got a good'un..

I did me some custom pinstriping today. I think it turned out nicely.

They're not straight, were you drinking cider at the time?

The engines were idling, made it more difficult. Was afraid to pull the power in case I couldn't restart them.

Good job under the circumstances. Next time try pinstripes, just use a thinner brush but you'll have to stop them idling..

Yep, I have some experience with young 4 legged creatures. Brings to mind, back in the day, the time me and my buddy were going to raise a couple of bovine to slaughter for meat. Yep, they were going to be corn fed. My buddy lived on a small ranch near Fresno, CA. I was manager of an ag research station south of San Jose. I would grow corn, fill up the pickup truck and take it over to feed the two steers.

Well, on one trip over, my buddy said that one of the steers had an infection and needed a shot once a week for several weeks. That was going to be expensive so we decided that WE would buy a large shot needle and convince the vet to sell us the medicine and we would give the steer the shots.

So, came time for its first shot. Now, keep in mind that these two steers were black angus and were born and raised on the open range. Also, they weighed about 300 lbs. each. My buddy tried to warn me that they were "wild" range stock. I said, no problem. Just fill up the syringe and hand it to me after I used a gate to "squeeze" the steer in a corner of a stall.

HOLY SHIT! That puppy just didn't "squeeze", like the tame herefords back on the farm in Ohio. - :eyebulge: Not only did the animal knock the gate out of my hands, it attacked me .... then other other one attacked me.

Oh, I've rambled long enough, I'll tell the "rest of the story" later

:popcorn:

You tease, left us dangling for the next installment... I think I know the ending.. but won't spoil it for rest of the readers..

OK, if you insist. We finally roped that beast drug it's head through the stall slats and gave it the shot.

Now, a couple of weeks later, we decided to let the steers out of their stall into a lot for exercise. My buddy felt that the double strand of "hot wired" fence would keep them in. WRONG! Those two steers hit the opening of the stall and didn't stop! They didn't know (or care) that they hit a hot wire.

So now, we have two semi wild steers running around in the neighbors cotton field. My buddies wife came out and said, "what are you two hot shot ranchers gonna do now, except have another drink?" - :mad0259:

So, we called up another neighbor that had a horse and his son rode over and chased down the steers, roped them and drug them back to the stall.

We're getting close to the end, but now, I have to go vacuum the carpeting in the house.

:popcorn:

Sad that no one noticed my new blinkers.......

Reminds me of the time one of the steers got barbed wire tangled around the hind foot just above the hoof. Its bleeding and obviously was hurting. Finally got it in a head gate. I am on my knees with a side cutter trying to cut the multiple strands off. I was glad I ended with no broken bones and both hands still attached. Buy the time he got through the bars on the head gate needed work.

Took this model for a spin...wasn't impressed with the fuel efficiency...it was just hungry, hungry...

WTF you're doing in London UK??

Watch out for the VTEC YO!

Kicks in at very low revs though..

The same thing he would be doing anywhere else apparently

Thanks, I thought he was going about talking to horses (whispering), getting them to change their "orientation"..

That brings to mind the rest of my steer story.

My buddy (co worker ) and I headed down to Arizona for a week to do some business. When we got back, we noticed the steers were GONE! My buddy ask his wife where the steers were? She (a strong willed Portagee woman) said that she was tired of rounding up those damn animals, so she called a butcher and he came and took them away - they are now cut and wrapped in the local freezer.

Oh well, although we were going to wait till they were up to about 900 lbs., we now had several hundred pounds of corn fed beef in the freezer in Visalia. About once a month I would be over that way and bring a cooler full of beef back to San Jose.


THE END (of our cattle ranching days)

Great story... But I'm struggling with your association with 'cattle ranching" as it alludes to a profession having worked to codes/standards for such a profession.. I don't see that was the case.. so I would downgrade your aspirations to "trying" to be a 'cattle rancher'...

BTW, did you name your pets?

Well, you do have a point there - :sigh:

Name the "pets"? Hell no! My buddy and his wife just told their kids that we sold the cows - they never did tell the kids that the beef they were eating was - "them".

:D

Lol I had a friend that named her pig Bacon one year. Her sister named hers Sausage. They were very tasty. The pigs, not the girls.

Back in the day, my sister, who lived in California, had a pot bellied pig that got so fat that it couldn't hardly walk. My brother and I always wanted to have a pig roast - no, it didn't happen.

We were told by FFA never name the animals as it would be hard on the kids to eat them. Well my friend had to small children who insisted on naming them--- like PATTYmelt and CHUCKroast. Right then they knew there was no problem with them eating the meat.

it's about having realistic expectations. maybe i should name a future kid 401(k). then he knows exactly what i expect out!
