You're right, I won't even indulge the comments regarding this per what was quoted, it don't matter, they are on the pile and will be burnt. Land is posted and we pay high taxes, law enforcement ought to be dealing with the rampant theft around here ie; local stihl dealer where they broke down the door a week ago today, and cleaned out most of if not all the power equipment on the shelf, they did not even check for fingerprints or conduct an investigation enough to satisfy the owner. He took 2 brand new Kubota tractors as they are a large dealer of same and parked one on the inside of the door and one outside, because the thieves are still at large and pushing the envelope around here for years, every single business in this corridor has been hit hard, they even broke into a secure vault at the feed store. This should be high priority and I am losing respect for these guys. The other thing is, these are so decayed, they crumble, some are dry rotted and may be hard on one side on the outside but hollow in the middle. They've sat in a tee pee pyramid pile since '98,been here 20 years prior to that in a heap where they were dropped, the tee pee pile recently fell over, and there are ants, mice and other vermin that were living in there.

They have been placed on top of a large pile of dead dry tops, that fire will be very hot, swift and done when the wind is right, and its still cool when there are no windows open. This will not smolder it will incinerate and quickly. Its in the middle of a field, and given the fact that numerous neighbors around here have burnt garbage and just downright nasty materials that have smoked the entire valley out, you can't go outside etc, so they can deal with mine. These will dry down in the air, and after looking and inspecting these ties, you can't even smell the preservative anymore, most were from the 30's some from the 50's. It may sound ignorant, but these were haven for vermin near my and neighbors house for years, they have to go. Where are these environmentalists when people burn garbage and have smoldering fires in their stoves or what have you. I used to canvass the neighborhood and find who was doing it and tell them about the smoke, does not happen as much, and I rarely have a burn pile here over the last 20 years.

The intent of this post was to talk about the date nails, related things friendly conversation etc, and my old creaky 850 tractor moved all these ties to the top of the pile. The intent was not of anything else.

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS ... [Read Article]
