    So the metal building price increases begin.

    Of course now that I am planning on building a 80x90 or 100x100 in the next 6 months, the prices are going to sky-rocket. Not to get political, but I'm still not sure what to think of the tariffs. In a way I like theym because it helps American steel, but I don't like that it reduces competition...

    New business

    I appreciate it. I had gotten that way myself after getting banged up for half my life. Took a break for almost 10 years and started missing it. The wife talked me into starting training horses again and I told her I was gonna go all the way if I was gonna do it.

    New business

    I didn't think there was any money in it, but there is good money in certain areas of it. Especially if you can get a good reputation. I broke colts most of my life and at one time was planning on doing only that, but they shut down the kill markets and horse prices fell out of the bucket unless...

    New business

    I'll look them up. Thanks. One thing I did forget to mention, is that we do not work out of our own facility, nor do we have plans to in the near future. We have been working on contracts, and liability releases. We make everyone sign one for every horse they send to us and every student my wife...

    New ELD laws

    Looking to see how it will effect people in 1 ton type trucks hauling horses and cattle. From what I have been able to gather the "private no for hire"badges don't matter anymore. They are saying (and I was unable to find anything on the fmcsa site) that any time you are hauling live stock for...

    manager torched the locks off my toolbox

    I would need bail money. I used to never lock my toolbox at the smaller shops I worked at because we all had some camaraderie, we traded off, I would use his noid light, he would use my power probe type stuff, but the last shop I worked at about came to blow, and would have if not for the owner...

    What power plant does it have? just our of curiosity. Also, if the oil is milky, don't drive it. Unless you want to eat an engine.

    So....yesterday

    Much rather see a rat a few inches away that grab a hydraulic line and it start moving. Seems like it always happens around hay season, There is an extra hydraulic line and it seems like the first on I grab ends up being a snake.

    Its that time of year. Lets discuss ether.

    Just sold an old 7.3 to a fella. Got out there knowing it wouldn't start, hit the key, let the plugs cycle, and no crank. So I walk around to the other side of the shop truck to grab a set of cables and hear the dreaded "pssssssssssssssst" got long 5-10 second spray of the nose candy right into...
