<img width='360' height='183' border='0' hspace='5' align='left' src='http://www.sarpysam.com/sarpysam/uploads/07262005plate.jpg' alt='' />Talk about an ugly piece of s**t. The truly bad thing is it's going to have to <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/07/27/build/local/50-plates.inc">hang on my vehicles</a> for a while.

Done
Finally finished tying strings around all of the first cutting yesterday. I still have a little stacking to do so it's not in the field but that should be done tomorrow. What little second cutting there is I will start on Monday. There isn't very much so it should go pretty quick.<br />n<br />nAll these…

Problems

It is some problem with the fuel and water. <a class="block_level" href="http://www.sarpysam.com/archives/1100-Problems.html#extended">Continue reading "Problems"</a>
