ok...my kookie neighbors

been some posts about neighbors, thought i"d share mine. town people from way down south somewhere, have a 2 acre farmette next to me.
episode 1. the 1st pigmy pig, given to them full grown.wife says to me see our new pet!! about 400lbs. gee, got it yesterday, last night we put it on the back porch, during the night it rooted the back door off the house, woke up in bed with em.
episode2; the horses. they have two, mare and gelding, mares about 19 or so , gelding about 26. they have about 1-1/2 acre pasture for two horses, kinda looks like a putting green on a golf course. neighbor askes if i could reseed it for him last year. plowed it up, disced it, seeded it and rolled it. as soon as the pasture mix came up, he put the horses on it.
episode 3. water leak and the backhoe. neighbor calls me, kin i borrow your backhoe, water leak from the well to the house. ok i says. he dug up the whole yard to fix the leak, instead of digging up the wet spot, but got er done. week later, can i borrow your backhoe again? ok, came back later in the day, he brings the hoe back, get the well fixed??? i ask. no he says, well was ok, but our cat died and i wanted to bury it deep so the coyotes woulds drag it off. (the week before, i was bush hogging my ditch and ran over another of thier dead cats and a chicken. stiff as a board and dry as dust.
episode 3 the older boy. he"s about 9 or 10. built like a pickle barrel. he is running around the yard with one shoe.....ok i ask, where is your other shoe???? in the house he says...I shouldnt of, but i asked anyway. why is your other shoe in the house. he says, i wear one at a time so i dont wear em out as quick................ ugh.....
episode 4 the younger boy. about 8, again the size of a pickle barrel. pull in on the tractor, he is standing in the yard, its 90 degrees out. wearing a parka, mittens, and a stocking cap with a slit in it for his eyes. .....ok.......why are you wearing all that and its 90 degrees outside......he says, im dressed up like a burglar to scare the dogs.......but somehow they know its me.............duh...............

Glenn,you ought to write this stuff up and submit it to the networks as a reality show of some sort .
It already sounds better then most of the stuff on TV now days

I think that's been done already, had Paris Hilton and Nicolle Richie as the kids.

Thank god our neighbors around here are quiet for the most part. One bitches about us checking cows at night as the 4 wheeler wakes him up...to me the calf is more important that 15 min of sleep.

Now our neighbor where our pasture is don't get me started on his fence fixing abilities.

now that's funny, i don't care who you are

Well if the television goes out at least you still have entertainment.

DAMN THAT IS FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

That reminds me of the people who bought about 50 acres of complete scrub land beside my parents and then decided they were "farmers". The last time I went to visit my parents told me that the Father (not sure of his name) had one of the neighbors cut and bale a field of briars (that is what it looked like to me) for him so he could feed it to his horses. Well he doesn't own a tractor or any kind of equipment so when I get there i see what looks like an old Ryder truck with a lift gates sliding over the hill beside his house. I walked over there to see if he needed any help and to ask him why the hell he had the box truck out in the middle of that field. He told me that he had been loading hay with it. He said the square bales were too heavy to load in the back of a truck so he borrowed a box truck with a lift gate from the guy he works for to load his hay with. I went and got one of the old tractors out of the barn and pulled that old box truck back up the hill for him and told that he would be better off with a tractor on that hill to load hay with, of course he agreed. I came back out 15 minutes later and he had that box truck parked out on the hillside again, he was dragging bales of hay onto the lift gate and then he would raise it up and him and his 9 and 10 year old sons would push them off the lift gate and into the truck at which point they would start all over again. I watched him loaded about 20 bales and it took close to an hour and I was laughing so hard I had to leave.
Some people are crazy

Makes me feel lucky. All four adjacent neighbours are great and those I know farther seem ok too.

oh, i gotta tell you the hay story. last year they ran out of hay for the horses, poor critters were skin and bones. they were feeding em grass clippings. i ask the mrs, why dontcha have any hay. well the guy we buy from is mad at us. seems the mrs sister who lives with them with her two kids was dating?? the guys son. well she kinda got chummy with another guy at the same time and sh###t hit the fan. ok, ok, so i call a buddy of mine that raises cattle, he sells me a round bale, i deliver it to em and drop it in the pasture. week later its gone, horses ate it. did ya find any hay for em i ask. no she says, and we're kinda short on money. hmmmm......
another farmer buddy of mine needed some work done on his car, so i repaired his car for 100 small bales of hay. called the wife, told her got you 100 bales, heres the number , go get em. great , thanks she says. couple days later the hay guy calles me, says them people are nutz!!!! i say whadda mean. he tells me she drives to his place to get the hay, she has an f150 short bed ford with a camper top on it, and her sister is with her, tube top, shorty shorts and high heels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wound up loaning them my hay rack the next week.

Makes me glad I don't have neighbors close enough to see or hear what I'm up to. I can run a chainsaw or shoot a

that's the funniest i've heard for awhile

ih560, you just described an example of the grit and determination to stick with a job and get it done, that should be admired in people. Those people should be admired not laughed at. At least he had determination to get'er done.

This is great!! Keep them coming.

Our neighbors used to be a pair of retired egg farmers but they sold out and now there is three houses on a lot that used to be one.
Most of them are OK but one family is a piece of work, they built up a big pad for their house and put in a drain to drain their lawn over onto my side . They let their dog run wild in my vegetable garden, their kids come over,pick lemons from my trees, then throw the lemon peels back onto my side so it looks like someones dump. when they built their house the workmen piled debris on my side of the lot and when they did sandstone work they threw the unusable stone onto my side so I can have the joy of hitting it with my mower.
The kicker is their house is a real fancy showplace and they complain about my trees blocking their precious mountain views like I am somehow oppressing them. Jerks.
