Not very good if you fall off the seat onto the aluminum tubes, but I'll allow others to speak to the subject of falling off a tractor.

Wonder how Tramp's Chevy would look sportin' them aluminum tubes ??????

Doug,

There is precedent for it. The second half of Daisy's video shows a "Chevrolet Motorcar Snow-Motor" mounted on the GIANT SCREWS (TM, 2009, Hobo Jungle Enterprises).

I'll leave it to Mitch to address the differing challenges of mounting the GIANT SCREWS on uni-body versus frame construction. Tramp's ride will have a new lease on life.

Today while trying to light a not so really Cuban cigar, I flicked my Bic lighter and an ignited piece of flint was launched straight up my nostril. Divine intervention? Luck of the draw? Who knows. But in this dog eat dog world, don't wear bacon pants.
The End.

That should clear your sinuses, :lol:

But, the bacon pants are just the product of a disturbed fashionista mindset...

Tramp, Thanks for so gracious a request, but how do I get them to you - the photo gallery here is gone?

Murph, Photo's of your fantastic layout are missed by me as well!!! I think http://WWW.villagephotos.com still has a free photo hosting section. (that's who I use to host my photo's) If you wish to sign up, I'd be more then happy to give you my cell phone number and walk you through the upload, copy, and paste procedure for adding pictures here. Let me know. Jon

I was going to ask the same question the other day. Haven't seen him since he fired up a Cuban while riding that screwy snow tractor around.

Andre was back in Andover, MA freezing his butt off. He had two weeks of Digital Offset Press Machine training and then planned to look for old Mobilgas stations in MA. He should be back any time now. Wait... I think I see him getting off the plane now.

It's the jungle. Think I'll start a new page with another story of a hobo...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OSvJvSwmd4



Have you ever seen a one trick pony in the field so happy and free?
If you've ever seen a one trick pony then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-legged dog making its way down the street?
If you've ever seen a one-legged dog then you've seen me

Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?

Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothing but dust and weeds?
If you've ever seen that scarecrow then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-armed man punching at nothing but the breeze?
If you've ever seen a one-armed man then you've seen me

Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?

These things that have comforted me, I drive away
This place that is my home I cannot stay
My only faith's in the broken bones and bruises I display

Have you ever seen a one-legged man trying to dance his way free?
If you've ever seen a one-legged man then you've seen me

Beautiful picture, bro!

We got 4", then it started drizzling over that. Afraid it would get too heavy for the snowblower, I went out in the drizzle, but it was still too heavy for my snowblower to do much with it. It usually heaves snow 15-18 feet, but it was barely going 3. After I went up and down the hill twice, it snowed another inch. After all that, I couldn't get my 4WD up the hill. This storm kicked my ***. :(

But no big deal. The redhead does that every day. :wink: :D

I was out feeding the horses some apples in the early morning, and saw these on the ground... some dew crystals on a leaf.

I'll bet I looked like a retard getting the picture, flat on my belly in the crusty stuff! LOL
