My aunt lives in N. C. & she had wind damage to her home from the hurricane. I flew over from Tx to get her house repaired & clear the trees... I met a gentleman at Home Depot who was with a group of volunteers & told him what I was doing.. 3 days later a couple truck loads of folks came by & in one day they helped us clear the debri , replace a couple windows & repair the roof... These are the kind of people who give me hope for America . I was relieved to know good people still are still doing Gods work.

Cole, I'm envious of your ability to climb into your skid steer with the lift arms partially up. At 6'4" and 300+ #'s, that skillset is missed on me! The sound of the freeze proof lids closing after the cattle are done drinking reminds me of the old pasture, free will, hog feeders. You just gotta multiply it by 100 going all day, non stop until they were empty. In-line tube auger feed lines made hog feeding a lot quieter! Stay safe, warm, and have a blessed Christmas.
