Entry for August 03, 2007 – The Redneck Gooseneck

This is from an email I received from Jeff. Mostly humorous, a little sad.

This lesson on how not to do things seems to totally escape some people. I’d love to see how the trip ended up but I feel confident he ended up in a ravine somewhere wondering why bad things seems to always happen to him.

He’s hooked up and ready to fly!! It’s amazing how the extra weight really smoothed out the ride in the truck.

He did have to air up the rear tires a bit (around 160 psi)

He added some heavy-duty chain for extra support on the tailgate (note that he used the “Heavy-Duty ‘S’ hooks to attach the chain) He also paid-up for some BIG 5/16 sheetmetal screws to attach the frame to the tailgate. Yeah, he knows it’s overkill, but he didn’t want the possibility of having an accident.

Much of his time was spent on his front porch whittling down that MASSIVE 4×4 board to fit precisely into the ball mount receiver. Also note that he used a 14″ piece of 1×4 to help distribute the load more evenly–“YOU CAN”T BE TOO SAFE, YOU KNOW!!”. ” It cost a little more, but you just can’t be too safe when pulling a trailer of this magnitude !!”.

Entry for July 24, 2007 – Minny-Soda

I’ve been traveling to Misery-apple-ous lately and I’m slacking on adding Bryson pictures. Amber posted some good ones (in my opinion) on her blog if you want to take a look.

I’ll post some exciting pictures of my alcohol/water injection system soon.

Entry for July 14, 2007 – The Stallion 2.0

I think Brandon finally got tired of all the teasing he sustained for driving his little Kia Rio AKA “The Stallion”. He showed up today in a new Mustang GT. He luckily let me drive it, and it sure does have a way of putting a big grin on your face. 300 horsepower and all that low end torque you expect from a V8.

Anyone want to place bets on how many speeding tickets are in the future?

Just in case you wanted to see more pictures of the little one, I’ll post them here. We haven’t let the digital camera cool down between uses lately! (we would be broke if we were using a film camera)

Entry for July 05, 2007 – Manure Manager

I swear that is a real magazine, not made up. I tried to get my boss to pose in the picture, but he refused.

Anyway, in this month’s edition of “Manure Manager”, there is an article about the plant recently built near Stephenville. I am doing some work to prepare for an equipment change at this plant, and earlier this week traveled with a group of co-workers to verify some things on-site. I was pretty excited to see the plant, since I’ve heard much about it. I was really not prepared for the smell… I was expecting the typical cow manure smell, which I am very familiar with, being from LA (Lubbock Area). The manure however, was the good smelling part of the aromatic sensation. The other material they use in the process is quite possibly the foulest smelling stuff known to man. Oh, and did I mention flies… yes, lots of flies, and crickets, roaches, beetles, and other poop-eating bugs.

If you are interested in the article, you can view it at http://kb5won.tripod.com/microgy.pdf

My poetic Brother had this to say:
What does this say about your career? You started out making diapers, now you’re playing in ‘manure slurries’. Your job is literally, THE SHIT.

I have a little different viewpoint. I say I am becoming an expert in making “shit turn to gold”.

Entry for July 02, 2007 – Bryson's Tongue

Bryson has recently discovered how to use his tongue. I know this sounds pretty simple, but we are goofy new parents and this has brought us mounds of joy and entertainment.
