The Forestry Forum

Furby pulled in here midday Friday. Do you think he wanted to miss your weather in Mi.  Gave him the nickel tour of the mill and showed him my logging tractor and winch.  Showed him the 4 poster sawing shed with roof falling in that was our humble beginning.
We had a good chat for several hours. Found out he is a Survivor fan. We agreed that to get on the show you cant have any survivor skills. At least from our perspective.

I thoroughly enjoyed the visit from an intelligent young man on a mission.
Kirk A, I hear he is headed your way.

Furby, have fun on your road trip.

Quarter to 4 Furby calls, he is an hour out and looking for directions. Got him squared away on the directions and waited, and waited, and waited, and...........well let just say he got hammered in the thunderstorm that just missed us.  Took him two hours to cover that hour trip.

I was just wrapping up a broken blade when he pulled in.  Gave him the tour of the Wood Supply Shed ;D, the log piles, and the house & barn.  Lots of history to share but not a lot of time.  Cedarman is right, Furby is on a mission!

Hope the trip goes better though.  He smacked one of those corn fed deer south of Indy and pretty much wiped out the front right quarter panel and bumper.  Still drivable but definatly made a mess. 

We went to dinner and then Furby got on his way to Bro Nobles place.  He was hoping to get there by morning, which shouldnt be a problem. 

Stay tuned for Furby and his post on how I explained tooth angle to one of our helpers last night at dinner.  You will get a kick out of it. 

 Now Thats the way ta travel  if your going stop and see all the FF attractions on the way. 8)
Much better then theme parks and you always learn something new at each stop.

Furby u need ta keep a record. (pics)  and sorry to here adout the deer did ya take him to Kirks. :D

 :( :( :( NO DEER :( :( :(

He said he looked for it but couldnt find it.  He smacked the back end of so chances are it broke its back legs and since the front didnt get hit they can go quite a ways on those two front legs. 

Rest assured, had he brought it, we would have butchered it up!

Furby didnt have a camera with him.  Just prior to him getting here we loaded a realy squiraly ash log on the mill.  Wouldn't you know it, after the first cut, I turned the log and it had just enought hight and momentam to crawl right over the dog and fall off the other side of the mill.  I told Chad, my helper we have got to get that log back on the mill NOW.   The last thing I needed was Furby to pull in and see that ;D

Richard you need to change the title of this thread to "All Points Bulletin for AKA Furby"

Seems he has not showed up at Bro. Nobles place yet and that is only about 6 hours from my place.  He left my place around 7:30 last night.

ANY ONE HEARD FROM FURBY! 

hope they didnt lock up that furby at the border :D :D :D :D :D
hope every thing is fine

Gee, its hard to beleive Furby forgot the camera. He's always taking some awesom pictures on his travels. Hope he shows up at Noble's soon.

Keep us Posted Bro_Noble and Furby, where ever ya got off too. ;D

Thanks for the feedback Cedarman and Kirk


cheers  8)

Maybe the Deer (or his relatives) tracked FURBY down!!  :(

asy :D

I'm here for just a second as I have slipped in on a connection.
Spent today trying to find Noble and Arky, drove right past Noble's place, and I'm sure I was within a mile of Arky's but couldn't find them.
Just spoke with Noble and will see him on Sunday, but still trying to get ahold of Arky!
Oh, Arkyyyyyyy........

Glad you checked in with us Furby! 

As to Arky, just look for the big ole Logrite Cant Hook--that things so big, you'll see it miles away!   ;)

 8) 8) 8)

That makes me feel pretty down when my neighbors tell Furby they don't know me :(--------I think he was asking a little to far up the road :)

We used to have an old lady who joined us.  She wasn't just right in the head and was always getting irritated with me.  When friends came to visit they would often ask her directions as she lived at a nearby bridge and I lived off the road a little way.  If she was down on me she would either tell them that she never heard of me or that I died a while back.  That caused me and my friends some aggrivation :D :D

Now as far as finding Arky,  I went down there with Jeff and Tammy one time and we had a hard time finding his place and we were following him ;)

Hope the Furby makes it here tomorrow cause I'm looking forward to his visit. :)

  To find Arky, go to the Shawnee cave, and turn WEST. ;) ;) ;D ;D

Yeah, I hope he makes it too cause I worry about Furby sometimes. :D  Just kidding Furby, hope yer having fun.  If ya ever get anywheres Mississippi give me a hollar.  I sure would like to meet you one of these days. :)

PS.  If you ever do get down this a way it'd be just fine if you wanted to spend a few days or a few weeks.   We'll have fun.  Heck, I'll teach you how to roof and won't even charge you nothing for it!  :)

8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Really Furby, I'm kind of Jealous.  A trip like that sure does sound like fun.  :)

Up until a couple hours ago CK, I was still playing with the idea of a quick run to see ya!
Just can't spare the 5+ hours each way right now. :(

Already know how to roof, but you could teach me "your" way. ;)

Just do what ya can to make to the piggy roast! ;) ;)

Gonna try and stay on long enough to answer some of the other posts.

First off, getting out of the car at Cedarman's mill was AWESOME!
The smell of that cedar was soooooo good and I've never seen so many cedar logs in one place before. :o
Nickle tour ??? Was more like the $20 gold piece tour from my point of view!
Cedarman has some real interesting projects he's involved in.  8) 


Kirk really does have a shed load of lumber, should be more then enough for his up coming building.
I'm really sorry I didn't get there sooner as I would have REALLY liked to have gotten a pic of Kirk and Chad trying to "play" with that log. ;D
The highlight of the visit was Kirk explaining to Chad what hook angle is by demonstrating with a french fry! ;D
I'm SUPER sorry I don't have a pic of that! :D

Kirk, I made it about an hour down I-70 before the battery in the truck went on strike. :-\
Had to jump it a couple of times and got a new one Sat morning.
Let's see what else I can mess up, eh ? ;D


Thanks for taking the time fellows! 8) 8) 8)


Onward...........................I hope! :D

Hey Furby,

I don't know if your having to deal with any of this white stuff, but I sure hope not. We got about 3" of it on the ground. Wet sloppy yucky!!! :(

Hope you don't have any more bad adventures on your trip.

 Furby glad ya checked in I was getting ready to get ck to call out the board of directors ta finds ya  :D :D :D

sure wish ya remembered yur camera it would save ya a lot of typing when you got home.

I think we should call this Furbys Great Adventures.  ;D  Sounds like he's havin a lot of fun.

He is supposed to be in here Tuesday.

Furby the travlin man.

The young man in question is now heading west ;D

I really enjoyed the afternoon visiting with him and would have enjoyed having him help milk this evening.  He seemed to think he needed to be heading toward Oklahoma instead :D :D

It's not hard at all to find Arky's place.

I even put directions with pictures of landmarks on my web site.

Directions to Arkansawyer's place (http://wardensawmill.members.ktis.net/pagev03dr.htm)

Bibbyman... You're making me homesick.   :(

Any chance that battery was in the front rigth quarter panel, where you smacked the deer? Sometimes a good jolt will destroy a battery. 

Wish it would have happen while you were here.  I had a spare in the garage you could have had. 

Drive safe!

Hey Furby, remember that great big pile of Ash logs?  THERE ALL GONE!  Finsished them today 8)

Found out recently that my wife's sister and BIL are moving to Springfield, MO.  I hope to visit Noble and Arky whenever we visit down that way.  Thanks Bibby, I'm goona hang on to those directions to Arky,s.

Bibby, you need to be more careful when you are driving.  ::)

I can't believe you took all those photos while you were supposed to be driving, AND the taking of them made you veer onto the WRONG side of the road...   :o

Please... a little more care!

asy :D :D :D

Asy... I've been on that road many of times. Used to live in them there parts of the area. Its fun to drive on except when the ice is on it.  ;)

asy,  Look at your monitor in a mirror and it wiil look like he is on the correct side of the road. ;)

:D :D :D :D

Furb, you were so close . . . and I was home too.

JT,

The welcome mat is out 8)

I would also be glad to tell you some of our favorite theing to do and see in the area.  We appreciated your suggestions when we visited Michigan last 'piggy roast' time. ;D

Noble,  We're kinda sad to see them move from MI, again, but they will be moving in June.  They are house hunting in Willard.  Told my BIL to start boat shopping when he gets situated.  They will be about 20 mi. from Stockton Lake.

Don,t know when we'll get down there but we will definately look you up when we do.

Ooooh! Now THAT'S better!

Thanks heaps!

asy :D

Furby stopped by for a few hours yesturday, he just missed a storm that built up over head and started producing hail just east of me prior to showing up. 

Got to set around and talk about all kinds of things, enjoyed the visit.  Got the opprotunity to meet someone face to face from the forestry forum. 

Furby is welcome to stop by again anytime he is in the area, and this also goes out to anyone on the forestry forum.

GF

GF,

Had he been to Stillwater yet?
Did he mention when he might be in Kansas?

He was heading to Stillwater either late last night or early this morning.  He left my place about 9:30 PM, had a great visit, he is a heck of a great person.

Furby be careful driving, notice you kept talking about all the trees you seen while driving, which tells me your eyes are not on the road.

He did mention he was heading up your direction.

We may just have to proclaim Furby as our official mascot. :D 

Our luck some other website would try to capture him and hold him for ransom. :D

At least in this forum, Furbies are catch and release.

 :D :D Furbys going to like this so much he'll go on a FF world wide tour  ;D

Furby was sighted at the cedar patch east of Stillwater this morning.  Aaron said they had a good visit and Furby told him he was headed north to see about doing some logging.  Are there trees in Kansas?

Who's tendin the chickens????    :D ???

He's driving my new truck, isn't he? :o :o :o
DanG.  They told me it would be built on April 23, but I bet he got them to up the production so he could joy ride around the countryside in it.  Then he goes and hits a DanG deer!!
Now I know why he didn't stop at my place. >:(
OK, Furb, we need to talk  :D

Riles
"Catch and release"   eh?

How do you catch a Furby?  Inquiring minds want to know. ::)



Not one picture yet that shows a Furby on the road.  ???

Hey, I thought "FF" meant "Furby's Forum."  Ya mean that it's not true?? :o

Norm

Furby just called after leaving Stillwater, Ok.
He is headed my way.

Furby has a adrenaline rush of sawdust going through his system.  ;D

QuoteHow do you catch a Furby?  Inquiring minds want to know.

Ain't ya ever been snipe hunting before? ;D  To get a picture you'd have to hold a camera in front of the tow sack! 8) 8) 8)

CK,
    in furby's case put a deer in the middle of the road. :D ;D ;)

I'll get a pic of the elusive Furby.......for proof.
I may even get it in front of the Kansas tree.....

:D

Cow Tippin and Snipe Huntin!  Best time ever!

(https://forestryforum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10092/DSCF0115%20%28Custom%29.JPG)



Does this look familiar?

It is the elusive Furbster.
He is a little camera shy.
Maybe a few adult beverages and we will get a mug shot.

;)

 :D :D :D Ya might have to strap him to da mill  ;D

THAT'S HIM ALRIGHT! ;D  8) 8) 8)

Well you got a nice picture of his Hat anyway  :D  :D  ;D

Well, personally, I think it's all a Furby Furphy...

There's no evidence whatsoever...  Well, none clear enough...

That could be someone's kid with a hat in front of their face..

We want to see FURBY...

Preferably holdin up a sign that says "I love FF"

Oh, and, Standin in front of a Kansas tree won't do much good, I hear tell they ain't big enough to be seen when someone's in front of them. Best get him to stand beside it.

asy :D

I ain't buyin it HT.  I need to see the Furbmonsters whispy beard, er goatee. :D
Uh, is he old enough fer adult beverages?  ;D

P.S.
Furby, I want my truck back!!!

i aint buying it one bit no way .  :)

Nope,  ain't the Furby.

Anyone that ever saw the guy will tell you that the bill on his FF hat points the other direction ;)

Dats to confuse ya, can't tell if he's comin' or goin'. ;D
Did he happen ta say weather he is takin' da senic route through da UP back home?  ???

Oh thats the Furby alright. Cant miss the Fur under the corner of that hat ;D

  Furby calls Sat afternoon and says he is 20 miles out.  Leaves no phone number so I waits.  I get up and go to the mill and come back and check but he called and still left no number.  This goes on till dark.  :'(  Now I am sad.  Instead he heads off to Bro. Nobles.
  But this brings up a good point.  You can not sneak up on an ARKANSAWYER.  My house is easy to find like morel mushrooms.  Once you learn to spot it, there is no problem.   You can follow Bibbymans map but the first time he came he had to stop and ask a guy with Texas tags where I lived.  The guy told him to just follow him.   I live in the woods.
  Also if you stop with out of state tags and ask for a local you may not get a truthful reply.  We tend to shy away from inviting trouble to our own.  Now since Bibbyman looks like a ZZ Top kind of dude they just led him to the drive way.  Now Furby on the other hand there is no telling what they would tell him.   If you have ever seen the movie "Deliverance" you will know not to be poking around in these woods uninvited like.
  I sure missed out on this deal.

UPDATE    UPDATE

For you 'doubting Thomases'

(https://forestryforum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10092/DSCF0117%20%28Custom%29.JPG)

I even fed him.

;D

So, you want MORE proof he is in Kansas?
And you say he wears his hat goin the udder way?

(https://forestryforum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10092/DSCF0116%20%28Custom%29.JPG)

He has taken a leave of absence for the evening. Wouldn't except my invite to stay over.
But.....said he would return manyana for a trip to the cedar canyons.

;D

(Had to be real sneaky to get the side shot. Sorry Furb.....even though I promised... ;)

Never mind furby,

Whatcha all eatin? :)

  Lunch , dinner or supper   ??? ???

Well,

We were havin corn on the cob, tossed salad, cottage cheese, baked tater, KC strip and or chicken. Cooked on the grill, of course. And I persuaded Furby to try a made from scratch brownie.

:)

  grits on the stick ... the only way to have it ...  ;D

Its jest not fittin for the Forestry Forum mascot to be shy, even so, I wont post the photo we have of furby on this thread.  ;D




I will give you the link to it though. ;D  Yer a smooth lookin dude there Furb, nothing to be shy about but I'm telling ya, if you aint going to be in front of the camera, ya gotsta get yer behind behind one and be taking the pictures. (TOM!! UNIQUE DOUBLE WORD!!)  Why do you think I POST so many photos? :D

https://forestryforum.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=search&cat=0&pos=13

Jeff B,   smiley_thumbsdown

huh?

In the picture in the link the Furby is covered with a white sheet. :D

hmmm,

Well try this
https://forestryforum.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-4965

Dats better  :)

Jeff,

How ironic. When I asked Furby to let me take a pic to let everyone know he was here, he mumbled (from behind his cap) somthing about  just use the one from the Piggy Roast.

Ta Daa      8)

I may be sneaky again today and have him pose by a big cedar for size comparison. Don't ya'all tell him anything about this as I want it to be a surprise.

;)

I assume The Furby is the one with the beard. :P :) :o ::)

 :D yup thats furby   ;D

I need to have a FF hat made up with two bills to give him and see if that confuses him. :D

That other guy in the pic is just Stinky Peterson.

BEWARE

The man called Furby has left Kansas.
He pulled out of Ptotection, Ks. at 7 PM this Wednesday.
Rumor has it he may visit Bibbyman and Pro Sawyer Mary tomorrow.

We had a good time showing him around.
Took him to Oklahoma and showed him a cedar or two.
What a nice young man and a great ambasador for the Forestry Forum.

Good Luck Furby, according to another thread, the Bibbyman is in hiding.

Not even sure where to start, so I'll have to add things in when I get home.
I also have a few pics to put up, but will wait until I get home for them as well.


Yep Kirk, same corner! The battery may not have been totally shot after all, but it has been replaced and that's what matters. ;)

tnlogger, I spent a good while following one of them CFI trucks around. The driver couldn't/wouldn't tell what was in it or where he was heading.  :-\
I'll GLADLY do a world wide tour! Just find me someone to foot the bill, will ya ???

Bibby, I wish it was that easy to find. :-[

Arky, I KNOW atleast one lady I spoke with was not telling the truth about not knowing who you were, her face told the story. ;)

Had a really cool time at Bro_Nobles'. I even got to help/tag along as he brought the cows in, a first for me.

GF has gone all out on his mill, and I can honestly say that if I had to choose between a WM and a mill like his, I'd be leaning real heavy towards his! He has done one heck of a job putting that thing together!

Aaron (Cedarmans son) was very helpful and went out of his way to show me around and explain things.

Haytrader has really gone out there for me, and we had lots of fun climbing around the canyons and looking at cedars! I was not real sure he knew what he was talking about at first, but I now know that he knows EXACTLY what he is talking about! :D

Asy, I've seen cottonwoods big enough to cut a 4x8 sheet out of! ;D

OWW, there was a problem with your truck....................they got the color wrong, and they put the wrong body on it. :'( I'll be leaving it in your drive on the way back through, when you take it in to have the front end fixed, make sure they put a pickup bed on it! Don't have a clue as to how they could possibly screw up so bad as to put an Explorer body on what was supposed to be a pickup truck!  ;D

Jeff, do I get a pay increase with the "mascot" title ???

Just figure on 10% over what you get now. ;D

Quote from: Faron on April 28, 2005, 06:27:13 AM

Yep, thats exactly what I had in mind. :)

Furby, you are amazing!
I thought you might try to snag my truck and take it out to Pender's place so I asked them to disguise it real good.  You managed to get it anyway  :o :D :D :D

Jeff, I think the Furbmeister should get at least a 20% increase, what with the ambassador and deer thinning duties he has picked up and all  ;)

Way to go Furby! :D

So what exactly is Furby  doing ???  Just cruising the USA  to visit Forum member
are trying to thin the Deer population down in the USA  ???    :)

Sumtin  like that.................but not really! ;D

i think he is prospecting for ceader logs  ???

I know what the furbsters doing  :P he is setting up a tour bus route for da piggy roast  :D

Well I had a guy bring me some Monster Cedar logs to saw last week
that I'm sawing right now, & we have plenty of deer around here
to test your vehicle out on .   ;D

tnlogger,
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D


Mule_Man,
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Where are thou at ??? Furby , are you in the Show me State  ???

Close!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Well I guess Furby is heading toward Bibbyman & Mary's place
& is supposed to stop off & see me .  As soon as the sun goes
down he'll have a better chance of getting another Deer  ;D

What away to break in a vehcile   ::)

Adds new meaning to test drive and break in :'( :'(

Furby,
    Need to come back by and check the mill out now, got the new engine mounted and working and the new redesigned carriage lift system is completed and is fast.

Furby,

You needed to have been back here yesterday evening.  The DanG cows were nowhere to be found when I started to take them in to milk :-\  Tracked them down,  found a fence down.  The stoopid things were all in the hayfield in the riverbottom >:(  Was wore out and plenty late by the time I finished up last night. 

He left my place around 7:30 pm Thursday  I think he headed North
to see Norm & Patty .  Wouldn't stay & eat was in a hurry to try & make
more road kills .   :D  :D  :D   ;D

Probably got down into the river town of Steedman and thought he'd dropped into where they filmed "Deliverance".  :o

Road kill and fires the only thing that slows um down. :D :D :D

Rumor has it Furby is headed to Iowa to visit us on the farm. Lets see deer season is closed but turkey season is open, hope he bags one so we can have it for supper. ;D

I'm home!

Driveway to driveway:
3,717 total miles
8 days 2 hours and 23 minutes

FF members: 8

7 states and managed to knock 2 states off my "to visit" list. 8)

DanG Norm, if I'd a known ya wanted a turkey......
Close call with a cat, a dog, a possum, many ringnecks, and a cow........ooops, no turkey. :-\


That must have been a real pain Noble. :( It wasn't the fence we blocked up was it? Did that root knock that post out again? ;) :D

Did indeed meet up with Mule_Man and his son. He wasn't kidding about that cedar log, he just left out how nice of a log it was! WOW! :o
Mule_Man has been doing things right, he's got all the right tools for the job. A nice mill, a building to cut in, equipment for moving logs, and even some LogRite Tools!  ;D

Managed to find Norm and Patty's place, Norm's directions were take a right and it dead ends three blocks down at a cedar sided ranch. Did just that, only three blocks was more like 200 yards and I almost drove off the end of the road! :D Got to meet the fat horse! Was a little unsure about getting too close, but since I didn't have the chicken suit, Becky was just a doll! BIG, but a doll! ;D

I'll get a couple pics up here later today.

Glad you made it back without more deer burgers. Thanks for stopping in, it was a pleasure. 8) 8) 8)

Glad to hear you made it home Furby, thanks for taking the time to stop in and visit. Becky did take a little nibble to see if you were tender enough but luckily with the fresh grass she was already full. :)

We were delighted that Furby took the time to stop in for a visit.  8) I hope the BudLite Cooler didn't attract any attention!


Glad you made it home safely.  ;) Ohh to be young again, you have more driving stamina than I do.

 Furby ya done give new meaning to the words road trip  :D Glad to see ya home and safe.

I'm glad to hear you made it home alright, I enjoyed our time visting , wish you would of
took me up on my supper invite. Jeff finds out you went around turning down Free meals
he might be suspending you from the Forum for that  :D  :D  ;)

Muleman, if you let me come by and offer food, I'll make up for Furby :D :D :D :D.

 :D :D :D :D :D :D





Patty,
I was a bit tense about getting pulled over with it in my back seat! ;D
I just KNEW the officer would not belive me if he saw it, so I tried not to speed...........too much. ;) ;D

Furby, glad to hear you made it back home all in one piece!!!!!! :)

The pics!


This one is of Haytrader and one of the cedars we found.
(https://forestryforum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10577/Haytrader.jpg)


Just so nobody gets the wrong idea..............
This is where you find cedars like that.
(https://forestryforum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10577/Canyon%20cedars.jpg)


This is a real nice little pond that Haytrader showed me.

And lastly, the elusive CFI truck!
(https://forestryforum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10577/CFI.jpg)






Thank you to everyone that took the time to chat and show me around!

Furby have you started planing your northern tour yet? make sure you put me on your list, I should be just before Chet ;)

Sure thing!
Just going to have to save up a bit first! ;)

Furby... Thats all the pics. you got????  :)

Gosh Furby,

Good thing you weren't wearing your fluffy white furby suit when ya met Becky...

Norm, did you make sure she was well fed and no smell of chickens in the air when he turned up.

Looks a great trip, good to find out where our CFI Truck went to!

Where's more photos?

asy :D

First thing I did when I introduced Furby to Becky was to give her a handful of grass. You could see the little gears turning in her head.

Ummmm grass...ohhh Furby...ummm grasss, luckily for Furby she apparently likes grass better. :D

Furby, gald to hear you had a good trip, got to meet some of the finest, and made it home in one piece.  Did you get the truck back to Ford OK.. I'm expecting a call anyday now to come and get it once thay take the Explorer body off, repaint it, and get all the squished beverage cans out of the back seat!  Oh, I forgot, when they get done with it there won't be a back seat!! :D :D

OWW,

He left yer new truck here. Oops, was I supossed to tell?

:-X

Oh, and it turned into a Dodge.
(https://forestryforum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10092/DSCF0122%20%28Custom%29%20%28Custom%29.JPG)

And they forgot to remove the back seat.

:D  :D

 
Thats a nice truck.  8)

Hey, I thought the pickup bed was going to be a no no?


REAL nice truck! 8)
Gonna have to come back down and see what that thing can do eh? ;)

I was looking at a real well put together 3500 at one of my stops on the way home...........almost made me convert. ;D
My Mom won a new car Saturday night. Trying to talk her into buying me a new truck..............don't think it'll happen. :(

Furby

You didn't happen to see this on your trip did you?

Amish Carriage

While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish
carriage. The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor,
because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand printed
sign... "Energy efficient vehicle: Runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do
Not step in exhaust."

Furby,

The bed is gonna go. Already lookin for a flatbed.
May throw one together here.
This one may not make it where we went the other day.

;D

Mom won a new car?  Was she on The Price Is Right?
(Have your pets . . . . . . .)

:D

QuoteMy Mom won a new car Saturday night.

Alright now Furby, quit playing with us and tell us about he car!!!!!!! :)

8) 8) 8) 8)

Yep, she stopped to the new Meijer store for some food.
They have these cards with a barcode on them in a bowl. You take one and run it through the scanner to see if you won.
I was there a couple hours earlier and didn't win. :'(
She gets any car she wants up to $25k.
The corporate headquarters were supposed to call her today........they didn't. ::)

Bad news is my Dad lost his job yet again on Friday..............and blew the engine in his car on Friday or Saturday. :-\ ::)
Far as I know, he has blown the engine in every car he has own except a couple. One or two he totalled out before he could blow the engine, and another one got hit by a falling tree branch while it was up for sale. The insurance totaled it and my brother did a buy back real cheap (cheap car), he blew the engine a short time later. I'm sure the damage was already done to the engine before my brother got it though. >:(




Ernie,
I did see several Amish Carriages but none with that sign.
It sounds pretty funny. :D

WOwwee Furby! Good onya mum...

Um..  What's your dad doing to these cars to blow them all up?

Maybe he needs the Amish variety...  ;D

asy :D

ASY
"blow them all up"
Now THAT would be MESSY :o :o :o :o :o :o ;) :D

 :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Yep, sure would!

Hey Furby,

Did I read that right?  Someone won a car at Meijer?   8)

Giddy up!

Yep Paschale, not long after I talked to you.


Here are a few more pics:
This first one is a late evening shot looking over Bull Shoals Lake in Arkansas.

This one is a field in Oklahoma.

And this one is a roadway in Kansas.

Nice pictures!  I really like the lake in Arkansas.  Beautiful!   :)

 
Roxie... Bull Shoals Lake is very nice.  :)

I thought Kansas was flat? ???

Teri, the west half is flat.
Furby took that pic after he left here headed east on HYWY 160 about 12 miles west of Medicine Lodge, Ks.
It is ironic that Furby took that pic as the guy that used to own the land with the barns had a Mobile Deminsion saw and sawmills in Ks. aren't that common, at least out here on the flat.......

;)

Thanks Haytrader.... Looks like I need to get out of the house more often. :D

Nice photography Furby.  I especially like the composition on the field in Oklahoma picture.

Haytrader, are you saying I need to come over and take that truck home?  :D

Gonna have to get there before I do OWW!  ;D


I should have known you would know where that pic was taken Haytrader. ;) ;D



Yep, Bull Shoals is nice!
I was trying to get in on a tournament there a couple years back, but opted for one a bit closer to home.
Now I kinda wish I had gotten to fish Bull Shoals. ::)

Bull Shoals Lake is really a nice lake. We took our Scuba cerification there several years ago. Seems it was the clearest lake for underwater visability in the area.

I like being on the other side of the dam when they open the flood gates. Thats the White River side. Great trout fishing!   8) 8)

OWW,

Naaa, thats alright. Just leave er here. Wrong brand for you anyway.

;)

She rolled over on 600 hunerd miles today.
Gonna hafta be careful or it will soon be HI MILEAGE!!

:o
-------------------------------------

Yeah Furby, ya gotta get out aways before I don't re cog nize the area.

-------------------------------------

Teri,

We have a varied landscape here. Not all of Kansas is flat. The Furbster is almost an expert on geography now since his trip so he can back me up on this.

;)

--------------------------------------

Scuba diving?
Trout fishing?
We don't have that out here.
I think I am the one that needs to get out more often.

:D

:D :D :D :D :D

I don't know there Haytrader.............
Were we not in OK when we were grunting up and down those cliffs?
But you are correct, as shown by my pic.........KS is not totally flat.  ;) ;D

Your pics. turned out real good Furby. Nice job.  :)

Thanks Teri, this trip wasn't about taking pics, but I'm happy I ended up with a few good ones. I even put one up as my new desktop background, the one of the pier covered in snow and ice was really making me cold. ;D

I'm actually REALLY surprised that the Bull Shoals one turned out. My digi has a lot of trouble under low light conditions and I don't have an over ride on it. :-\

Haytrader, your truck is safe.  Mine finally appeared last night at the dealership.  I wasted no time in getting to town topick it up. 8)

Furby, those Ford people did an excellent job on it.  There are no signs of previous mileage or deer dings. :D :D

 ;D

 ::)

OWW, we expect pics ya know.

;D

OK..

I'll admit to utter confusion...

What is going on with the trucks in this thread??? I don't understand.

Best I can figure is that every place Furby went he took their truck, hit a deer and left the truck at the next forumite's farm and went on in their truck, also in search of deer... 

Did I get it right???

asy :D

 ::)

asy,

I don't think I can splain it.
Best you just stay confused.   ;)

Furby didn't hit any deer while here but he did run some out of a canyon in Oklahoma and tried to get a shot at them.........with a camera............. :D

 :D :D

Hey that's right! :o
I guess I better go look over those pics again, don't remember seeing that one. Hmmmm......... smiley_headscratch

Asy.............I really can't explain it myself. You might be able to find a couple other threads from the past couple months and piece it together, if you do, will you explain it too me ??? ;D

Pics will be up in a day or so.

OK, so here it is after months of waiting and other imagined adventures . . .

It really is a deep forest green with black undercoat.  It looks blue due to the reflection of the beautiful sky.  As you can see the imagined journeys have not left any damage or wear.  Furby, I owe you some time behind the wheel the next time I see you. :)

Nice Truck !!! Let's us know when you get it broke in & take out your first
Deer with it  ::)  ::)  ;D

Nice truck!   :)  Do you have a bedliner on it? 
I know you'll enjoy it, and just remember the first scratch is the deepest, after that you'll relax.   :D

Roxie, I don't think I am going to put a bed liner in it.  At some point in the future the box will become a flat bed I'm thinking.

Hope them Fords have thicker metal in the beds than the new GM's.  Thought about a spray in liner on my new truck, but thinking about a drop in so that plastic will add some strength to the metal :D  Now thats a winning concept.

 :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
My truck!

  :D :D :D

All most worth a drive down to see you OWW! ;D

Great truck, all we can get in NZ is that Jap stuff :'( :'( :'( :'(

OWW,

Bee you tea full truck.
Is it diesel?
Do you need a stump to get in?

:D  :D

Watch out if Furby comes down to drive it.
I took him up and down some pretty steep stuff when he was here (in my old truck) and I saw a gleam in his eyes.
One place we went off of, you couldn't see the ground in front of us. I can't remember what he said and if I did, don't think I could say it here.

;)

THat's not a truck, it's a UTE!

hehe

VEry nice ute, though!

asy :D

Furby, we will get together somewhere - at the piggy roast if no where else.  When you were visiting Cedarman you probably came down SR37.  I am just a couple of miles off 37 north of Bloomington.  note to myself; need to go visit Cedarman.

HT, yes it is a 6.0 Powerstroke diesel.  Man, what power!  It is quite the feeling to see the ground in front of you going downhill.  What I hate is when you see ground, sky, ground, sky, etc  :D

I hit the deer in Martinsville, and spent the night in Bloomington. :-\
Missed ya by this much! Trust me...........we will get together sooner or later..........I wanna drive that truck!!! ;D

Oh yeah, the estimate for the truck came in a little over $1400 bucks!
Almost feel like driving down and showing it to that cop that though it was well under a grand in damages! ;D
