JEEP!!! Always go with JEEP!!!

I've been thinking about a jeep. Do you own one?

I own two. :D If you have a jeep you have to name it. I have the goose and kermit.

When I bought my first tractor it was a used Massey Ferguson, it was made in Japan, so when I went to get a four wheel drive tractor I figured I would get a Ford thinking they were made in the USA. Nope stamped Made In Japan, very disappointing.

Ford still makes tractors?


They did in 1988 when I bought mine , but not sure about now,I think they are now called New Holland.



I wonder if it's one of the businesses that they pulled out of when they launched the way forward strategy? Thats cool. I have only seen old antique ford Tractors.

Well that's a bummer. Layoffs are never fun!

Kerryann said:
They get horrible gas mileage. It's like trying to push a barn door down the freeway. I am sorry abou the layoffs :(. I know that is stressful.

Actually, I'm kinda hoping I'm one of the lay-offs. I've been looking for an excuse to start my own consulting firm and this may be it.

She's actually feeling much better, however, it's hard for her to type and she gets frustrated with it.

I'm glad she's feeling better, but sorry to hear that she's having trouble typing. She's definitely missed here.

Consulting doing what? I have been thinking about that more and more this year. I couldn't carry of my current clients though. :(

I'm an archaeologist, so I'd do cultural resource consulting. I'd be working with contractors, landowners, agencies etc to help them manage archaeological sites and other cultural resources (such as historic buildings) that are located on their properties. Its essentially what I do now, except I'd be my own boss.

What kind of consulting are you considering?

Good afternoon everyone. If anyone wants to see the group of us who went to the play, you can check it out on www.bitwizards.com and go to photos, then look for Midsummer Night's Dream. I'm in the middle (the older, chubby one) and the tallest man on the left side of me, back row, is my hubby.

I don't see "Photos" anyplace on that screen.

About ready to take a saw to this holly tree right next to the garage.. It looks nice and festive come winter but right now it's dropping ALL it's berries riiiight onto the only spots we can legally park our cars and it's chipped some of my paint. Not to mention the birds and squirrels keep going after the berries so my car is painted with squirrel turds and white splotches.. I was out there with a hot towel attempting to soak some of the dried on berry casings off my car so I can possibly take it to get washed/waxed sometime in the near future.

Plus, I can't take Rosie into the yard where there's grass and dandelions sprouting since all the red berries that are poisonous attract her attention because they're red and she'll try to eat anything that color (including toenails if painted).


Found a coupon for a full car wash/vacuum/wax for $25. Tempting... They clean inside (dog hair) and out (all these berries) and wax it and armorall the tires plus clean the windows. My car is due for a "spa day" anyway..

We have a TJ that's a custom build and it's on 39.5s and our JK is currently on 37s but my hubby has the 40s. He ordered new axles, a lift, and a bunch of other stuff today for the JK. I may sell the TJ if I get the right buyer.

Sheesh I thought having my YJ on 33's and the drag jeep on 35's were bad on gas...
Actually my YJ gets about 12-14 mpg a depending on how fast I drive. The drag jeep is really great on gas but it only runs on racing fuel which is extremely expensive.
The FC doesn't run yet so don't know it's mpg...I am guessing 7mpg.


I want a nap...piper hasn't been napping this week so I am way behind on projects and so I stay up late trying to play catch up but nothing comes of it except being exhausted...

Our TJ isnt street legal with full custom suspension. The JK doesn't do so bad for a jeep. It gets about 15 mpg.
