Sure you have like 8 old fridges but do you have a giant farmer version of a lazy susan filled with all sorts of nuts/bolts/junk/tools?

[michigancat]

lol I love this broom just sitting in a pile of the stuff you pour on oil to sop it up and then sweep up. also get a real broom sd's dad!.

Behind the electric scooters and beehives is the other part of the work bench area that is has 3 rows of drawers that pull out with nuts/bolts/washers all lined up in the same sizes.

I had to find a new nut/bolt combo for the weed whip one time but that stuff was all combine size.

Ended up finding a harbor freight set that was unopened that worked just fine.

seriously there are few things more satisfying then having a little oil spill and taking an empty can* of the white stuff and shaking it over the oil and then sweeping it up and having it mostly clean with maybe a tiny bit of stain.

*back when I was a kid my grandpa smoked a pipe so we had empty Sir Walter Raleigh tobacco cans to put nuts and bolts in and pour out the oil sopping up stuff. seriously we had like a million of these cans and then my grandpa had heart surgery when he was like 75 or 80 and just quit cold turkey and now he's kickin' in his 90's

These were taken when I first got out there and I probably filled up the incinerator 3/4 times with empty boxes or egg cartons/junk but it's still disgusting.

I wanted to completely reorganize everything while I was out there but my dad wouldn't let me because he is waiting until next year when my uncle's lease is up and he moves all of "his" tools out.

Whatever dad, i'll just go haul some more tree limbs out of the windbreak and you can keep your junkyard garage/workshop.

When my brother changed the oil on the riding lawnmower and golf cart he asked my dad what to do with the oil and my dad was just like "Drain it on the gravel or whatever" 

He ended up catching it in a cat food pan and throwing it on top of trash in the incinerator so I guess we were being environmentally responsible?

Asked my dad where he got this thing and he said he just built it. So maybe a billion dollar product?

I mean we definitely collected all the used oil into a barrel that I'm assuming for taken somewhere responsibly but also we dumped the pure trash that wouldn't burn next to a creek that eventually found its way to the Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico

We actually recycle like a mofo out on the cat ranch only because glass/aluminum/tin cans dont burn all the way. Colby has a free recycling center in town where you just drive up and dump your stuff in the correct dumpster.

It was surprisingly busy the couple of times I dropped stuff off there.

This building is an old wooden train car with the open part built off of it. We have several of these types of things so apparently they were quit the deal back in the day.

Are all of these old abandoned buildings on the SD Ranch? It's an impressive collection if so.

I asked my dad what he was going to do with the old barns that are falling down at the cat ranch and his reply was "Wait for it to fall down then set it on fire"

Wouldn't it be more fun to burn them while they're still standing?

[ben ji]

Procrastination, I'm sure there will be some actual work involved in cleaning up afterwards.  Also less chance for the fire to get out of control maybe.

Antenna and roller to keep the front corner of the truck out of the concrete bunk aka food bowl.  This is a professional operation.

Yes, that’s like 1/10 of them. We’ve got old houses and crap everywhere.

That one with no side parts had the wood taken off to build an old timey cowboy house. If the old wood is good or something it can be sold for that stuff apparently.
