Sorry Joey, it's a '51 8N. Got a lot of use out of her last year hauling logs out of the woods for burning. :thumbsup

Hey Rick, probably time for a diet, too.

Hey Rick, probably time for a diet, too.

With friends like us, who needs enemies? :rofl

I was going to ask about putting Slicks on your tractor or sticking with OEM, but I could not stop laughing at Franks statement.

At least the frame on the Tractor is Red.

Franks just looking out for me. It's more important that the frame be strong to carry all of that load. Right Frank. :wink

Enjoy your time off Rick. I am especially fond of the CO3, CO2 & CO emissions picture. Can I have an autographed one please.

 

[TallCarGuy]

Rick,

I'll be seeing you when you get back. We'll go have some GT fun.

Have a wonderful 4th and some great family time :cheers

 

[Silverbullitt]

Hey Rick how about some lemans stripes and GT350 on the side of that magnificent beast. While you are at it this month's Hot Rod shows the source of all new parts for an all new 427 cammer for that ride. If you prefer Jon Kasse can fix you up with a new boss 9 if you prefer to go that way.

 

[Shelby#18]

Back from the farm! I would lie if I told you I missed the internet. Had a great time with family, and friends. Got a lot of maintenance work done, and should be making a neighbor happy with some hay.

Experiences.... well we were firing a potato cannon of the fourth, gave rides to people with the old Ford 8N, went to a great dirt track race in Alexandria, rowed to South Dakota with my 1945 Old Town canoe, had a steak pitchfork fry, a fish fry, tried to keep up with some of the farmers drinking beer at the local bar, and to finish things off had two days at the county fair to watch the demolition derby's including one of which was with Combines.

And Frank, I came back and weighed myself thinking I had lost some weight because my pants are now loose. But I still weigh the same. Damn.....

 

[fjpikul]

Shelby, you need to do this kind of stuff where it's really hot and you sweat it off, not in cool MN. Please come to my house in St. Louis, I have plenty for you to do and lose weight.

 

[Shelby#18]

Frank, if I had the time I would. I'm back in L.A. and it's plenty hot here. I was sweatin' pretty good in MN. working on the farm. It may be cooler, but the humidity is what gets you.

All the best....
Rick

That's because you lost some body fat and gained a bit of muscle mass in the process. Since muscle weighs more than fat, you lost inches but not weight.

Thanks mighty Weightmaster, I was hoping to do both. :thumbsup

Somebody give me a drug that does both please..... :cheers

'Twould be easier if you'd simply realize/declare you're just too short for your weight.

May I recommend elevator shoes? 'Quick...'easy...'painless...and shamelessly effective...



No need to thank me.
I'm here all day.
Try the liver.
Kindly tip your server...
(With apologies to Neil! :lol)

 

[Kirby Vieira]

Welcome back, Rick. :cheers

 

[ChipBeck]

Welcome back.

I came back and weighed myself thinking I had lost some weight because my pants are now loose. But I still weigh the same. Damn.....

Welcome back Rick. I've been walking/running 5 days a week for the last month trying to lose weight. I got on the scale today and I haven't lost a single pound BUT......I have become a slightly faster fat guy.
