Last night, our beloved 13 year old Pit/Lab mix fell and couldn't get back up. Unfortunately, it's probably time to start planning for the coming weeks/month(s) when he's not going to be with us.

This dog has been fantastic- got him as a rescue as a one year old, he's been with our family every minute- in the woods, in the boat, on vacation.

Honestly, probably couldn't have designed a better dog if I was God himself- never needed to be on a leash, don't have a fence at our place- dude goes outside, plays around our couple acres, barks to be let back in. Never wandered off not even once.

When I was hunting in Argentina, the lodge had a GSP and I fell in love with their intelligence. I understand they are nuts (maybe?) as puppies- do you guys know any good breeders that could help me with a mild mannered pedigree, or a GSP rescue?

We have the same thing. The real difference is that we are caught behind mountains of red tape that make new stuff really hard to roll out.

This- we have ag. spray drones in the US- and some are US MADE- that have that payload capability today- but the difference is in the US, we actually care about people dying and public safety….so unmanned is how our drone technology is working.

When that thing crashes in China, no one cares, and there is no one to sue.

I can’t wait- just finishing up my boat turnaround- one more pump to install and add my AIS VHF to my NMEA network and we are ready!

Sucks that seas look shitty for Thursday, but I think by Saturday it’ll be ok.

Build up an SR5 with real off-roading parts…but that’s fricking obvious, right?

I went to buy a 4WD Tacoma for my son yesterday- he's off to college and I thought we would spring for a new ride for him.

Holy shite.....$53,000 for a TRD?? It's like a SR5 4WD doesn't exist in Louisiana.

To put all this in perspective- in 2017, I bought a new 2500HD 4WD LT with the 6.0 gas. It was $49,000- I felt like that was a reasonable price.

That truck is on my buddy's farm today, still looks good, had a transmission put in it at 250,000 and has over 300,000 on it today.

They're gonna shite when someone brings a tractor in there and starts bailing up the leaves with a round baler- it works pretty good.

I used Geaux Preaux last time I had one done. Super good work- well done!

It's fricking unbelievable how fast it collapsed.

I worked all over Sub-Saharan Africa right after the Mugabe foolishness and right after the Mozambique civil war.

Farming is a 24/7/365 deal. You work when the weather lets you and not when you want to, or how you want to.

You can lose a major farm in the US with just one year of bad decisions even if you made a crop.

Now imagine if you don’t know shite, are entitled, and lazy.

What you see in production ag. today is a very complex management problem. It doesn’t grow by magic.

I will embarrass myself, here.

Me too on the LCP- I like how with the factory holster, it prints like a wallet and when you go to draw it, the tab keeps it in your britches.

I can shoot mine better than I should be able to for such a tiny arse gun.

He means going to the redneck fest in Livingston.

Your graphics are the reason why I still believe Trump is right and we all need to take a deep breath.

The world can’t function in its current way without our spending.

China would go back to the stone ages if we didn’t spend trillions on their cheap crap that in turn allows them to spend trillons.
