re: Job quitting stories?

Posted by Bimby on 12/6/25 at 7:50 am to
Not exactly fired but, I grew up on a tenant farm. One of the farms sold to a new owner, who had other land farmed by another farmer in the area. He told us he wasn’t pushing us off immediately, but it would be nice if we could find another farm so he could consolidate to the other guy. Fast forward three years and we had rented another farm for the next year. We set up a meeting to let the guy know we were done. During the meeting, before we told him we were leaving he offered his share of the ratoon (2nd crop) rice crop to leave. We just agreed and took the roughly $12,000 and ran.

We just passed his last known location in Louisiana and wondered if anyone had an update on his progress to Alaska.

Everything you said is correct. The difference in Mexican coke and US coke is the glass bottle and the sodium content.
You threw away $5000. You should have sold them for $10.00 on eBay.
For our 20th one of the girls in the class had everyone send 20 bucks and she was going to put together a booklet with contact information, where everyone is now etc and send it out to everyone who paid. We are still waiting for them, maybe she’ll get them done for our 40th in a couple of years.
Let’s if that gets some traction, then we can circle back around and connect later.

I have a 2005 52” Scag Turf Tiger with the Kohler engine. Bought from a friend that had it for 4 years in a commercial setting. Ive had it for the last 15 years. I’ve changed 2 belts and the rear engine seal besides general maintenance in that time period. Blade changes and maintenance are easy to perform. I would highly recommend. I’m mowing an acre.
I used to farm. 1994 crop loan was $504,000 due in 14 months.

18 days from Baton Rouge to Ottawa Canada and back with stops along the way.

Look up Exclusive Homes by Chuck Walters. He does design/build work. I’ve seen his work and it’s very good.

I think the water would just come out of the lowest point it could get to, bypassing a large section of the tunnel network.
This depends on how the 33-0-0 was made. If it’s just Urea (46-0-0) and filler, then all you have done is paid for filler and you could have applied half the amount of 46-0-0 and done the same thing. Better would be to find some 33-0-0-12s, which is half Urea (46-0-0) and half Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0-24s). I don’t know your location, but most soils in S. Louisiana are deficient in Sulfur and that is what helps get the Nitrogen from the roots into the plant, so 33-0-0 that is made with Ammonium Sulfate is preferable. Just ask your supplier, they should be able to tell you what the components in the bag are.

Search Windsor Chairmakers of Maine for high quality but pricey furniture. Also Andy Rawls in Boerne TX.

I have done it twice. If you pick the person to draw the plans and the right builder, it can go pretty well. There are always a few snags and obstacles, but that’s to be expected to get what you want.
Grain is stored in flat warehouses some. The real question is why would they waste valuable missiles on even a million bushels of grain? Seems the military targets would be more important.

I was the Southeatern Region winner in Diversified Crop Production, top 4 in the nation. I got beat at the National Convention by a kid from Ohio who deserved to win. When you are standing on the stage at the National Convention it really is a sea of blue and gold. I learned a tremendous amount of life lessons in that organization that has served me well.

I heard they loaded him and his stuff on a cattle trailer.
I just remember Johnny using it when we had an altercation with Libya in his monologue. Thanks be always remembered it, because he delivered it perfectly. Back to war news.
Someone is old enough to remember Johnny Carson’s joke about the Libyan navy.

Not sure on the spindles. I have a turf tiger 52” old school deck. All my nuts on top of the blade bolts are right hand thread. I had them get so tight once that I had to block the blades with a board and use a 1/2 in. Breaker bar and a 3 ft. Cheater pipe to break them loose. They had never seize on them and I’ve only had it happen once. A 1/2 in impact would come close to unscrewing them. I hope this helps.
They have plenty of growth medium in the streets, should be great.

Just thought y’all might find this interesting regarding the maps we have been following in this thread.

Keep up the good work, those of you who keep us informed.
