Thread: Road kill

Sometimes one is forced to drive his tractor on the highway in the traffic (no cab on the tractor) and when one is unable to maneuver the tractor in the traffic because of pointy things sticking out from one's implement, one is unable to dodge roadkill. With those naked tractor tires spinningright next to one, the odor is very powerful and it lasts a long. looooong time. Unpleasant is a vast understatement, and when one has to deal with a following wind, the effect is mildly hallucinogenic---but not to the point of wanting to do it again. I believe I will find a good mudhole to start with in the morning, then look for moist dirt to plow.

I think the creature that caused the problem was a dog from the looks of the remains but from the pungency and staying power of the odor indicates that it might well have been a more exotic animal, like a Bolivian were-capybara. Anyhow, if you're contemplating buying a tractor, try to fit an enclosed and air conditioned cab in the package.

One of my driving teachers (friend) told me you pay taxes for the whole road when needed use it. Even if you had to stop and wait for this manuver to avoid said road kill....

You used to be a 'painter', right?

Uuugh, that sounds really stanky.

Nate is free next Sat-Sun/20-21, to wash tractor tires.

That sounds like about as much fun as disking a yellow jacket nest up! No cab on my 3400 Ford either. Thank the lord I had my nylon faced brush pants on due to me not plowing it up for a while and the briars being quite tall. The fan on the motor blew at least a couple of hundred on my legs but they couldn't get through. I got stung 19 times elsewhere. Dang those things really hurt!!!!!

Similar story, freshly disced plot, unwittingly standing in a now invisible Fire ant mound.
they didn't start stinging until they're all the way up to my crotch, I was just about butt naked in seconds, slapping and brushing them lil' bastards off me.

1 reason for my hesitation on a move (besides my anchor).....I would be a true googan about critters in the south

One of the worst things for me with yellow jackets is their ability to get inside my shirt and make me beat myself purple trying to kill them before they can sting me again.

Had a couple get into my pants, even after stripping down to my undies on the atv path from the shooting house......dang things don't play fare

I have never endured a gun shot wound but I liken being zapped by a yellowjacket to being shot with a .22
