New Years resolutions...... No BS!

[woodland]

Put this '49 MH 44 in the shop yesterday, my goal for the year is to get it restored and rolling around the farm again. Was my grandfathers and he gave it to me 33 yrs ago when I was 10 but hasnt ran in 20yrs.


First day of the year, project number 1 underway, got the chief mechanic started.


Beyond that the sun is shining, I'm still kicking, just looking forward to doing it all over again, hopefully just one notch better than last year!

Woodland, you're right on them teeth. Wow, was just at the dentist and need some work done but didnt think I'd have to buy half of the office! Health in general, pretty easy to put on the backburner when a guy gets busy but guess that's not too smart.

Good luck with the project🍀
Let us know how it goes for the two of you.

I dont do resolutions. But if i had to my first one would be better stress management. Doing that and a few other un healthy habits would fall away.
Course I'm always on the hunt for #3. That would ease some stress; for a short time. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Old people are such liars.

The entire time you’re growing up they’re always saying “wait until you’re my age” like 50s, 60s, 70s are awful. But they never tell you your body starts turning against you in your 30s.

Back problems. Corns on your toes. Your dentist becomes one of your Fab 5 (are those still around?)

Like, wth! I know obviously 50s are going to feel worse, but where was the warning for 30s?!!! I thought I had another couple decades before I needed to keep the wheat heat bags I was making and steal back the massage thingies I’d previously gifted and add Dr Ho to my wish list. And what are corns anyway, why are my toes all of sudden so mad with shoes after wearing them for years.

Bullshit. I’d have a New Years resolution to get rid of corns but I’d fail at that. Nobody say the word bunion, I don’t want to give my toes any more ideas.

I’ve got even odds on if my eyes or bladder can make it to 40.

I’ll second that. I’m an ‘83 model and my back is complaining after brisket tagging the bred heifers the other day. It involved lots of kneeling and pushing their heads to the side of the head gate.

Not quite into the heat pads and such yet but my wife is. Ironically Dr Ho just showed up on tv........

Nose and ear hair now get trimmed on regular basis too. I wonder what’s next.....

Gonna try and make chuck , forage , Dml, Ag star and others laugh more often

How about just concentrate on forage, dml and agstar. We are trying to get Chuck to stop LOL'ing or HAHAHA'ing after every single statement, he doesn't need any encouragement.

Maybe if you succeed with this years lofty goal, your next year's resolution can be to get them discussing agricultural related topics( Forage excepted, he already joins the conversation regularly).

If you can’t laugh at your body falling apart, you may be doomed.

But it’s definitely much easier to laugh at somebody else’s falling apart.

No wonder all explorers who went hunting for the fountain of youth seemed to be in their 30s and 40s. They’d obviously realized the great lie as well.

Virile cougar to broken down hack in a week a rather sudden not so subtle fall from grace

I could tell you but why spoil the surprise?

After 60 that clock in your head gets annoyingly loud.it changes everything.
I decided to cut back and coast a bit. We shall see how that goes. See if I can handle that.
Tick tick tick.

Ah, this is a great thread.

This is going to sound funny but for the last 20 years I turned into a nice guy couldn't care about most things and just go with the flow. If it's not broken don't fix it.

Early in my life if I saw an opportunity I jumped on it. I read more, studied more etc. Meet someone on a flight and they have an idea to explore it and maybe invest.

Well for 2021 I Want the original guy back. Why because sitting back in 2021 isn't going to make you come out ahead. Were in for some rocky interesting times. There are opportunities in the near future and we have to be the ones who take the bull by the horns and run with it.

Yes as you approach 60 things do change a lot. Our Body does change and slows down. Some things that years ago you could fight almost kill you now.

Family and friends have always been important to me and will continue and meeting new interesting people. Liberal followers need not apply. **** Trudeau I will not change that no ****ing way. He and this batch of idiots are that ****ing morons.

So yea Lets leap into 2021 and get going.

[SASKFARMER]

Good luck on the 44 we have one that we got running last year and might get stripped and redone this year. It's fun I do things like that with my two sons. 1/3 1/3 1/3. They both work.

Our farm shop has always got works in progress. Semis, bob cats, cars, trucks, anything really that needs work. The heated shop floor and infra red tube heat was the best investment ever. What do you have in your shop? Our shopaholics have plasma table, mig and tig, powder furnace, 42 lathe, milling machine and that place is humming every day. 3-D printer miraculous. In the good ol days our farm shop used to have a pool table, a black jack table, a wood stove and a kubassa smoker, it was the district “meeting place”. Lots of rum and all-night stook games used to keep us busy in the old days but not today’s shopaholics. 👍
