Another Farm Sale Recovery Milestone

As you might recall, a number of days ago, I dug out my old welder and torch that had been in storage for way, way too long. Put 'em away in February of 1983, just a few days before my "unwanted" sell-out.

Anyhoo, yesterday I finally rounded up some full bottles of propane and oxygen to give the old torch a try too. Just like the welder, the darned thing works every bit as good as the day I put it away.

Wish all things in my life were this constant and dependable. :>)

Thanks for posting so often, and with great pictures too - you're one of the mainstays of this board (and the Farmall board).

These newer welders have circuit boards in them similar to your computer. Bet if you leave them set for 20 years they won't hold up.

National Radar looks like your getting more moisture. Is it raining there?

Gary

Nice steady drizzle. Supposed to rain all day and all night.

Belly deep grass, chest high hay and a bin busting wheat crop. I can dream, can't I? :>)

Allan

Yea this is me,,just using Linux and it gives me problems with password for coloken.

Heck, the way this farm thing is turning out, first the recovery of the manure spreader and then the welders, I'm really contemplating calling the ex-wife.

Naw, that would probably be pushing it a little. :>)

Allan

Musta missed it somewhere.

I also was about two meals away from a sellout in the 80's. Was able to refinance the farm and hang on.Along with getting an off farm job.

The other day I stumbled across a real clean Farmhand 6-ton Power Wagon. Wheeled in and bought 'er on the spot. :>)

When I went broke, banks were folding like a long series of card tables. Nobody but nobody was loanin' anything and they all were hangin' on by the skin of their teeth just for their own survival.

Actually, in hindsight, it turned out to be a good thing for me. Kind of a traumatic process tho. :>)
