New Fishin Buddy

[800stealth]

Brought home a new buddy... Hoping she'll get big enough and put on enough of a coat in time to hit the ice on nice days a few times this winter. Her name is Dovahkiin, some younger members might get that but most will have to google. Barely 9 weeks this morning and every bit the tiny razer toothed monster they all are at this age lol...

I saw your post on the CD thread, and I didn't want to upset the balance there, so I'm hijacking here instead lol.

I just bought a tractor today, and now I want beet juice. Probably too late to haggle. I'm also really excited that I just bought a tractor. Oh wow I just realized that I can drive it down to the pond and plow out the parking lot if nobody does it. Good place to practice! 

Okay, back to adorable puppy! Will she be a hunting dog?

Dovah won't be a hunting dog, just a family dog...

I'll tell you the story that started that conversation about beet juice... We have a small 4x4 diesel John Deere tractor at the shop to snow blow the lot and mow the yard. One morning I noticed one of the back tires was low and went to put air in it, the valve stem cap was stuck on the stem so I grabbed pliers to get a better grip. When I twisted the cap with pliers the stem broke off and sprayed me head to toe, in my eyes and mouth, up my nose, everywhere with what at the time I thought was soy sauce, I got cleaned up enough to get in my car and drove home to shower and change, while I was there I got a hold of Richard to see if a wise old farmer knew why I had tractor tires full of soy sauce. He got a good chuckle from my story and explained that beet juice is used as liquid ballast in the tires because it wont freeze till -35, it's very heavy at 11 pounds per gallon and not harmful at all if spill on the ground.
I don't remember ever asking Richard a question he didn't have the answer for...

Congrats on the tractor, your yard will never be the same lol

  I'll bet he got a good chuckle! I had to walk away from this reply and chuckle for a minute myself (only because I know about beet juice now, I was forewarned!).

I will have before and after pictures;
1. the rock I'm going to pick up with the backhoe
2. the annihilated yard around the rock I was going to pick up with the backhoe. the rock remains.

And to stay on topic, please give Dovah an ear scritch from Auntie Guinea.

LOL, sounds about right. You'll get it figured out... After all, once you've ruined your yard learning you will have the tool to fix it...

Fantastic! It's hard to get over losing one but bringing a new member to the pack helps greatly. Congrats!

Sorry to hear of your loss Ray. It seems a new chapter with a new fishing buddy has just started. Here's to many years with your new partner !
