| I hate to tell you, but it only gets worse. You have my sympathy. Next you can't set down or drive a car without going to sleep. I can't sleep in my bed for more that 2 hrs. generally, but I sleep in my easy chair most all day if I let it. It's a bummer. Leon |

Ted, Was out checked the cows at 4... what a foggy muddyy wet icy mess and at
40 degrees... and the cows were laying down on a hay pile and they seem
content. One was sleeping away and didn't even know I was there. Had to
be within 10 feet of them cows to see who they were for the fog that was
around us. 5:30 rainin cats and dogs... boy, has the snow banks melted down now! Huge difference already in the last 36 hours. Weather lady says temps will drop and get cold and snow again. Don't care how good lookin she is, I don't like what she said...

I am right there with you guys. Wake up at 3:00 on the dot. Then I hear my wife breathing and that only puts ideas in my head. Ideas her would say no to anyway. So then it is off to the bathroom to get rid of the bottle of water that I shouldn't have drank so close to bedtime. And if I am really awake, I come out here and check the Allis page. Maybe Ebay, Tractor House, and Craig's List. Of course Youtube. I love perpetual motion machines, watching Ronnie O'Sullivan play snooker, and Efren Reyes play 8 and 9 ball. Then it's back to bed ------------- 2-8070FWA PS/8050PS/7080/7045PS/200/D15-II/2-WD45/WD/3-WC/UC/C |

Up at 4:30 AM every day. That’s my time cept getting the critters outside and fed. We’ve been working 7 days a week and then nights on our house. I’m finding it hard to get up some days but having to pee takes care of that problem. Some mornings I study plans for work and sometimes I look at tractors and trucks n such for sale that I don’t need. |

Dale, what roads ARE open?? Or even THERE now. We've got wash outs that look like sink holes.... Went up to the farm today to check on the pole barn roof ( which is whole), the snow had slid off. The driveway has some holes and ruts in it that you can lose a truck in!!! ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

I used to use "Craigs list then switched to another group,,I think Search Tempest that searches Craigs list but with lots fewer scammers but here lately they changed the whole thing on Search Tempest and is SO dang hard to look for anything and,,,most of the chit I'm lookin for is plumb over on the East coast,,,PFFTTtttt,,,!!! |

Ya it seems all the good deals are always in another state, and anything near me is just shy if not at retail, even if well used.
If I do happen to get lucky and come upon something I'd want and it's priced right, I call and it's already sold.  ------------- 1938 B, 79 Dynamark 11/36 6spd, 95 Weed-Eater 16hp, 2010 Bolens 14hp |

I have been busy and not keeping up but sure happy to see the "night owl coffee drinker" has not been out making like his house is a house boat on a trip to the gulf. But since he claims ownership of the "machine" it would serve him right deal with the aftermath. |

| Dang cat jumped on me again at 2:00 am. Got up for 1/2 hour, watched a little of pawn stars had a peanut butter and honey sandwich and went back to bed. Old gal likes to turn the heat way down and then she takes all the covers off me. I freeze, so I picked up one of those heat pads that stays on for 1/2 hour. So I get 1 light blanket. That's usually long enough for me to get you sleep. |

I got up at 1:30 AM Hawaii time. I don’t know how I’m gonna get used to the time change . Today we get a 10 hr tour of Pearl Harbor. Maybe that will wear us down and let us get acclimated to the time. Lots of palm trees and as ole DJ says lots of palm chewin. I learned I’m too big for modern airplane seats. I forgot what they call this neighborhood but it is quite nice. The ride from the airport to here had me worried. It was all city and whole neighborhoods where they live in old tents. So far so good. |

| Funny you should say that. When we landed in Denver (which ain’t Denver) that airport was packed. People was sleeping on the floor. I thought of you and wished I had a fart machine. I laughed even harder when we got on the plane thinking what if someone had chili for supper the night before. |

| Yes Chask that’s what I imagined. The city area is full of homeless lookin folks. Here where were stayin these places don’t have doors or winders. They all just walk in and out where ever they like. Everything is open air. Our room has doors but not the businesses. You ain’t got to have a car or truck here. You can walk to everything. |

Well now ya got me a wonderin??? Which one of them two drove that “BLUE” tractor to load my new old drillpress? Them two didn’t load it by hand unless they stopped and grabbed ole Scottie and his buddies. If they did I think I’ll have little Vernon from work whoop the whole lot. I’ll buy him a 6pack of Keystone and turn him loose I will. |
