No and not sure what I will do. Discing would be nice though.
there’s rock outcropping running through all the places i would love to disc. Wouldn’t be pretty. guaranteed it would go through some. My closest neighbor told me that the people who had a house on this property before(burned down. I’ll explain later) kept it mowed you just gotta find the rock at first and stay on it. That’s most likely what i’ll do. That and sprinklers keeping shit green around the house and shop.
This property had a tripple wide on it that burned down like 15 yrs ago. Saved me shit loads of money because i’m “replacing” a house. Don’t have to pay expensive fees, and there’s a great well and septic and power already ran here.
The poor lady. She lived out here for like 10 yrs with no power from the power company. Did what she had to and when she had to with a diesel generator.
my neighbor paid to have power brought out here. In less than a week of having power the house burned down. Some sort of electrical fire. Fucked up.

Cistern(s).
My guess is the regulatory authority that is California has something to say about that.

I dug out my electric ice cream maker, and picked up a quart of whipping cream today....Going to try my hand at some home made ice cream here soon. I haven't made any in probably a decade! And now I remember why....whipping cream is $6 a quart! Hopefully the final product will be as good as I remember. I also remember making it at my grandparents as a kid, by hand, and that the best!

Ribs and hot dogs on the grill tonight. Baked brain cells all day again too....flew the drone, rode the bike 6 miles. I think I'll be good at this retirement crap.

A few hip flexor stretches and a few minutes of inversion and this old man is done for the day!! My lower back has been incredibly tender for months now. Time for more poking and prodding I suppose....and not the good kind :wall:

yup. Got them on both my trucks. I think i’m on my 4th set on my silverado. Lots of off road and pavement. Longest lasting tires i’ve had on the truck. I always lag rotating so I end up with two that need to be replaced at a time :-D except that last time on the silverado I punctured the side wall of one of the “newer” two and figured I’d start all over with 4 of them.

It’s fucked up that I have a ford truck being a Chevy nut. Don’t give me shit. I needed something to pull my new house around with.

I like the new front end too, but taking a bit far are ya?
Looking for rock sliders and a bed organizer/storage/slide-out, truck is new to me not new can't fully justify the expense of off roading this nit shur as hell can't see myself buying a new truck for this purpose. Nice thing about the factory lift is it dosent really drop the front axle so I think I have more clearace than someone with a 4in lift. Waiting for a hot day to take all the badging off, might require cutting the fancy new grill though.[/QUOTE]

Get some cardboard out and make some templates......good beginner welding project if you don't know how.

I've built a bunch of offroaders over the years. Current toy is a XJ with long arms on it....thinking about 4 linking the rear. It already flexes like crazy but the 4 link would be cool and pretty much was part of the original plan for it. Kids are finally big enough to do some more serious off roading. Fire roads are fun to get you out there but I need to put my tires up on some rocks. ;)
