Every single acre we farm is under some form of business entity. It is like those retards that are like "fuck the corporate farms". Yeah, those farms are like 3 brothers farming together far more often then it is not.

When we go to one, we all pick out a few kinds of instant ramen to try.

We did ramen nite at our house after a trip to a couple different Asian markets this morning. Things were going well until the spicy one was passed around, then the virtual 100% Scandinavian side came out for everyone. I still powered thru it though.

Saw the OP on my way to the bike trails yesterday.

I should go south to pick up a no-paint rust free 2000's Silveraydo and throw an unused 602 crate in it, headers and all.

This was Textron's dream for Arctic Cat - the government contract gravy train.

I saw that and had to laugh. One on of the FB groups, either a Cat or Polaris one, I think.

Our 2017 Exploder 3.5L N/A started smelling like coolant and had corrosion starting on the hood at 80k-ish miles, so I cleaned it up and traded it off before the coolant smell came back. Not sure going with another Exploder was the right call, but it is what it is. So far the Silveraydo with the 5.3 is doing good. Can't really justify trading it off given what dealers are offering for trade and what a comparable new one costs 4 model years later. I can tell the dealers are hard up to move inventory. Weekly we are getting letters from several telling us how good the deals are right now for trades.

Does anyone make a decent 1500 pickup right now? Toyota's new engine is shit. GM has this going on. Ferd has their egg shell Ecoboost. Rams like to grind away at their camshafts. Nissan, maybe?

Well, the buyer of the 2 Soo sleds and the 2008 Simons sled posted today. The one Soo sled was brand new, never raced, apparently and the other was a 2nd place sled. I suspected the one may be new, but wasn't sure.

And in other news, AK440 has been named the new President and CEO of BRP, as well as Chairman of the Board.

Did you wear for tightest Spandex for your byke ride too?

If this were to be true, it would be WILD! That being said, why would Pocahontas fall on the sword. She is smarter then that. Let some other weak minded yes person desperate to climb the DC pole of shame do the dirty work so you have deniability.

I have a speculation as to who a bidder on the high dollar stuff may have been, but have no way of knowing until news starts trickling out where these land. That being said, I do not understand the value of the top 10-12 sleds or so.

The sea ice must have shifted the whale carcass off the hard line.

I did the 110 by myself, hungover. Once. That time I was a fast learner. Normally I need to repeat the lesson a few times. The barn was really set up for 2 people to be milking 8 at a time.

It was usually my dad and uncle trading off around half the year and the hired man or two as-needed. So usually one of them and one of the hired men would each milk half. The kids and my aunt would take car of calves and heifers. Then when my dad got busier with other businesses and racing, it was the uncle and 2 hired men. Then us kids as we got older with the hired men.

And the shitshow continues. One of the suspects was caught at MSP trying to flee the country. https://www.kare11.com/article/news/crime/feeding-our-future-suspect-arrested-airport/89-a409a01f-1b74-4c1b-a48b-0ee3c8bdff34

Box with the number plates are up to $1700. What is the chatter on why that Rev 440 is going so high? Last year of the 440's?

To put it in perspective too, in the 80's, a 110 milking herd and 1500 acres was a fairly big farm. It was my grandpa, dad, and uncle all making a living off that, plus a hired man or two. The tie stall was built in the 60's and was the largest barn in the area for years. When we sold the dairy herd, we were the smallest milking herd on the milk truck route.

The farm site my grandmother grew up on is now buried under a 12,000 cow dairy. That is the dysfunctional side of the family, or maybe the more dysfunctional side of the family. Booze, drugs, infighting, more drugs, etc.

Carl Schubitzke has acquired ISOC according to the Facespaces. Wild off-season.

When I was little, we were farming around 1500 acres and milking 110 cows in a tie stall barn. A tie stall barn and Blue Tombstones were state of the art in the 60's, but not in the 90's and 2000's. We grew our crop side, sold the herd, and continued to grow to the size and complexity we have to have full time and part time help. I'd like to think that we have become a world class operation and a local employer of choice, or we certainly strive to be. During the process, we acquired a family dairy from within the family and by the end of the year, we should be milking around 1,500.

Trying to clean up their mess for 2026 and 2028 by "Ope, we fucked up, trust us next time. We'll get it right next time and not gaslight you."
