But the job got done. Adapt and overcome. OSHA and most of the rest of Government agency's accomplish nothing on an typical day except write some standard that in the best case is obvious and everyone already does it that way. In most cases it's beyond stupid and has nothing to do with safety, environmental protection, or the greater good.
No lottery.... Dot Com era... Right place, right time, right skill set. And the harder I worked, the luckier I got!
Not all of us techie-types are a bunch of leftist ball-licking Harvard twats.
My career as the PoPo came after retiring from the Dot Com boom (with impeccable timing) in early 2001. And putting on a uniform. As the richest academy cadet in America, probably!
Still a redneck, though! Especially after tractoring for 7 hours yesterday.... fixing my driveway.

Just sent that JD pic to my buddy back home in IA. He raises 1k head a year for sale. Some amazing beef. Have whats left of a 1/2 in my freezer.
Boy was more crazy about tractors than girls for a long time. Got him a dang good woman (even though she is a Cornhusker fan). They are raising their kids right on several hundred acres in podunk no-where. Good people.

Sounds like his wife has her head screwed on straight.
My dad was from the Sioux City area.

@GUN NUT in IA
I think a different fence. He is down in SW IA. About 20 mi N of the MO line and 25 W of NE line.
In between Red Oak, Shenandoah, and Clarinda.
My folks still live there.
Guess a doper or two got shot by each other in Shenandoah today. No real info yet. No big loss either......

Here’s the scenario: you are a sniper on a solo mission.
The plan calls for crawling on your belly for a considerable distance in your ghillie suit to get into a position to take the shot at night with your suppressed rifle and thermal vision.
It will take about 48 hours to get into position.
You are 24 hours into your mission and half way to the OP where you will take your shot. The field is wide and flat except for a few gullies. The grass is about a foot high except for what you see in the video.
The time is 1300. It’s windy and hard to hear. You stop to rest and in about an hour the wind subsides and you can hear better without the grass rustling and despite your ghillie suit over your ears.
Now you hear the rattling and discover your in the midst of a reptilian orgy.
WWYD?

Im thinking call for a fire mission. Troops in the open, 10 rounds willy peat, fire for effect... danger close on my pos... at least it'd be quicker than a slow bite death.
Or a couple MOABs...
But thats just me.

I would hope that the snakes hate the smell of human feces, as I would have just soiled myself.
Family farm is Northeast of Braddyville. I am about one hour North of the farm and one hour from Council Bluffs.
I usually measure distance in time and not miles. That way it is shorter, if I am in something fast.
You have obviously never heard of a shit-eating snake.
At least you wouldn't have to worry about an enemy patrol in that field.
Family farm closer to Bedford or Clarinda?
Had many a fried catfish dinners at the cafe on the east side of 71 there in Braddyville with my grandma as a boy. She was born and raised in Gravity and lived in Clarinda her adult life.
Ran a store on the square for years and ended up working at Lisle Tool for a while before retirement.
I still have an oil filter wrench she made and I watched her do it. Spot welding the band to the steel where the handle cams to lock down on it was her job.
I thought most good old boys measured drives by the 6 pack? ?
You have any redheaded sisters? I prolly tried to date em in high school......
Good stuff. I bet we know some of the same folks.

Money shot........ literally. That is a bad day. I have been around some valuable studs and other breeding animals. Not a good thing.

Closer to Braddyville - 1 mile East (about 5 minutes
) and 1 mile North (another 5 minutes).Not much of a fish eater, but I did eat many a meal at Dolly's Cafe.
Uncle and Sister (not redheaded) worked at Lisle. Brother-in-Law's Stepfather was an engineer there. He designed a close quarter screwdriver and brought it to me to "field test" about 30 years ago. I still have it.
I have US Navy Mark 1 (Parris & Dunn) training rifle in my collection. It was manufactured in Clarinda, IA in their factory (now Lisle Corporation). It is the left one in the front row. The plastic bayonet for it is in the oak box to the right of the rifle.
Oddly enough I don't drink.
