Well, the TimberKing question just posted got me thinking about this post again. People come to thr FF and stay and people come and go and you wonder what happened to them.

Jeff · March 07, 2004, 06:35:13 PM

Yep, we have some that just come for the expertise and then go on thier merry way. They know where to come back to when they get in a jam though. In Bojangles case though he's still wifus. He was here on Feb 10th, not so awful long ago.

Bibbyman · March 07, 2004, 06:43:09 PM

And another loose end on this thread.... Wiam never did say if he found out if we were related. I figure he did find out and he don't want anyone to know. ;D

Bibbyman
Actually my dad seems to think that if we are related it was on the other side of the Atlantic. Do you know if your ancesters came from Scottland?

Wiam,
That's my relatives that came from Scotland and we won't mention just where or what they did there, OK?

:D :D

Rumor has it that my ancestors came over from England, deported as Horse thieves! I have a highly bred Tennesee Walker mare that I bought for $500. Maybe there's something to it. ??? :D :D :D

DanG,

Why did ya give so much?
You could have bought a good horse for that much $$.

;)
:D :D :D

Bibbyman · March 08, 2004, 06:45:37 PM

Maybe there is a connection. I don't have any of the names of my ancestors back past my great grandpa but dad says he thinks they actually came from the Shetland Islands.

Haytrader ,that was very good

DanG · March 08, 2004, 08:53:16 PM

Well, shucks, Hay. I already had a good horse. Why would I want another one of those? ??? I ackshully was gonna breed her to a jack and get me a gaited mule, but she got injured and the vet didn't recommend breeding her. :'( She came with 2 saddles, which I sold for $600, so I didn't come out too bad, if you don't include the $1500 in vet bills. :-/
She is now 22 years old, and too crippled to ride, but she was smoother than Bibbyman's Roadmaster, in her day.

I keep hoping the local University's vet program will come up with embryo transfer in time to AI her and transfer to another mare and still get a couple of matched mules. ;D

Sounds like your name should be DanG trader.
My kinda man.

I went to an auction a couple years back where our local Coop was selling some excess equipment. Didn't really intend on buying anything. They were selling a 1974 IH 2 ton truck with a 1400 gal. liquid tank on it. I had seen it at a mechanics place for a month and although I didn't know what they had done to it, the amount of time it was there told me it was worked over. They were not getting a bid so I started it and ended up paying $600. Found out they had spent $2200 putting new brakes, king pins and bushings, and new tie rod ends. I sold the tank for $500 and still have the truck.

Not tellin about any bad deals I've made.

Now I'm getting worried!! ;D My ancestors came from Scotland also and they settled not to far from Arky in Missouri. I found out a while back that my mothers side of the family had a sawmill when she was little. I saw a picture of her family back a generation and they were setting on a porch in the mountains and the women were smoking pipes.

Yes I'm still here. I have been so busy cutt'in trees and draging them and sawing them and stacking them and hauling them and I did'nt know how much work was invoved. But after a day of sawing and you look at what you have accomplished, it sure feels good. I just have'nt had much time lately.
