Well, asking scares the heck out of me. Having a farm on a state highway ends up with people stopping. Could be meth heads casing the place (burglarized 3 years ago by one) or someone from south of the border asking about buying my backhoe, etc. We drive I-135 a lot and at night we will come across caravans of loaded down vehicles with another in tow driving at 50 mph headed down to another country. Real easy to load up a trailer or take a trailer and be in Texas by daylight.
Last summer I was down in the pasture mowing. Turned around and here was a big hispanic walking up behind me. Scary deal.
I wasn't packing heat while mowing. He had walked a quarter mile past the open barn to get down to me. He was selling roof coatings for barns and was doing one in the area. Started me out at a special deal for me only at over $800. Then he finally ended up at a really special deal for me for $250. Had Montana plates and said his crew was working in the area. When I asked when he could start, he said right now and be done in a couple hours all by himself with his sprayer in the back of the pickup with the buckets of coating to mix. Asked where they were working at and the town he mentioned was over a hundred miles away and then he showed me a couple checks in his wallet of addresses even further away. Originally said he tightens down all loose nails and screws and would redo the loose fascia board.
All of that in a couple hours by himself. Told him no thanks. Then I worried all summer that there would be another burglary.
Been thinking about leaving a gallon gas can outside just so someone won't break in to get some.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
