The Further Adventures of Moldy's Whiskers.

Moldy went out sailing,

The wind blew down the mast;

He hoisted up his whiskers,

And never went so fast.

Moldy was a camper,

No tent or cot for him;

He strung his whiskers 'twixt two trees,

And then he climbed right in.

Moldy went out chopping,

He struck a mighty blow;

He pinned down all his whiskers,

And then his tears did flow.

Moldy was a goalie,

He was a sieve in net;

He put his whiskers in the game,

They haven't scored one yet.

MOLDY'S WHISKERS

I have a dear old Brother For whom I nightly pray He has a set of whiskers They're always in the way Chorus: Oh, they're always in the way The cows eat them for hay They hide the dirt on Moldy's shirt They're always in the way My Brother was a soldier He fooled the enemy He wrapped his whiskers round him They thought he was a tree Repeat Chorus My Brother was a swimmer No bathing suit for him He tied his whiskers round his waist And then he dove right in Repeat Chorus Moldy had a strong back Now it's all caved in He stepped upon his whiskers And walked up to his chin Repeat Chorus I have a dear old Sister ( in law) She likes his whiskers too She uses them for dusting And cleaning out the flue Repeat Chorus Moldy's beard is long and grey It gets longer every day Debbie eats it in her sleep Says it tastes like shredded wheat

New ranch hand

We got us a new ranch hand Sunday morn'n. Kinda nice to have around. Soon he'll lighten up the work load around here. All he does for now is sleep, poop, and scream. Makes a lot of stall cleaning for the top ranch cook in the world to try to get done, but she's doin real fine at it.

Suicidal cougar

On my way home last night a cougar crossed the center line of the highway into the lane I was in. I swerved to miss and thought I had but it hit the pickup close to the back of the cab and nearly tore my fender flare off. It was a big female.

Frothy 1st gen #2

Here's is Soggy's frothy 1st gem, It is currently the fastest fuel only 1st gen in the world, not only that but it had approximately 4 times the HP of fattys frothy 1st gen. Not only that but it ran Soggy about 1/4 of the dollars that Overpriced Diesel Power had spent on their engine program. Not only that but there is also a frothy yoter. Also it is a 12v program, unencumbered with all those extra parts flapping around indiscriminately. Next up will the 3rd in our Frothy 1st Gen Series. Loyal followers be ready.

Recent Dealings

A few things of interest have been happening out in the Midwest, on our ranch. As seen, the purchase of a beautiful first gen Dodge. Known also as the most dependable pickup on the road. Some claim that they are the most economic also. This beast has the proper number of valves per cylinder and is not in the overpriced diesel program. That large load in the first picture weighs in at about 16k. In 170 miles she boasted over 10 mpg while holding 60-65.

In photo number 2 you can see the trailer is a trailer of a different sort.

Here, in photo number 3 you can see what was in the trailer. Below you can see it's companion (the other horse)

Landy was somewhat nervous about riding so I got on with him till he idled down some then kept him busy petting and kinda slid off. He enjoyed it, so that was good. I guess that's what happens when you get a true ranchers pickup- then comes the ranch. Still have a lot of training to do so we'll see how that goes.
