I've been reading your Forum for the Last 4 month. And it didn't take much reading
to see what kind of good people are on this Forum

There's allot of knowledge & expertise & some sense of Humor also. ( Always Like a good Laugh ) :D

I brought a New LT40 Hydraulic back in March . After talking to Bibbyman for several weeks . He doesn't
live about 15 to 20 mile from me. And we also work and the same place in town. I use the word ( WORK ) very
loosely since there have never been a confirm sighting of him actually working !! ( ;) He
puts in a average of 10 hours a day here, So I'm sure he does something ???

Well time to move on after saying all that, since I have probably lost my mentor now !
I'll probably have to start putting up Post now !!

Have a great day, and always take time to laugh !!!

Me at Bibbyman's and Pro-Sawyer Mary's

I'm showing Mary how it's done. ;D

Well I guess since we have had Mule's & Horse's forever & raise several Mules over the years
We used to keep about 20 Mules .
When my son was at home, he would break and train them. That's what he did for money when he was in High School.
He's very good at handling them, He's has a slow hand and never get mad when working with them. And when we go to
Colorado Elk Hunting we always take Mules to ride & pack Elk out . We ride or drive them . He also used a Mule to
drag Cedar Logs out and sell the Cedar. So I have always had
Mule. So when it comes to a Mule. It's kind of like, Been there
done that !!!

HI Mukeman:

Welcome to the forum.

Just a quick story from before my time.

My Grandfather had the idea that he needed a mule to pack out his deer kills when hunting and also to pack out deer killed by his sportsman at his Guide camps in the bush. Well, he had a relative down in Rhode Island that he went to visit. And while down there he bought a mule. He got the mule home and tried to train it a little by dragging on a log or scoop. Well he never could get it to work the way he want it to. I think he even tried a plough and ended up tearing that to pieces, which probably wasn't too hard since it was hay wired together to begin with. This was just one hair brained skeme he dreamed up over the years. The old guy was always gettin into messes. I just don't know how poor grand mother put up with the escapades. She had 4 kids to raise, plus grand father. :D :D

cheers

Welcome to the forum, Muleman! The nicest people on earth right here in one convenient package! :D
Now, speaking of mules, a farmer up the road had a Paint Mule born last month. I've never seen one, but it's white with brown patches and it's about the prettiest little thing you could imagine. I didn't know such a thing was possible.
