BTW, I’m in the market for a used (but in good condition) tractor, and/or backhoe in the Very Near future!<<<

Darn it, I went past several groups today that offered for sale and swap stuff for farms. And I posted a link, that maybe Vickie has noted in her work on an index.

I would do 2 things if it were me, maybe more than 2.

I stumbled into something that I had not found before, in checking a terror alert from google, I went to the google group and it had a list of key words, LOL, ole clicking granny was soon lost in a click here and there and LOL, joined some more yahoo groups.

For some reason, google is featuring Yahoo groups, in their keywords.......

Use the word homestead and see what you get at google, as they do a lot of swapping and the equipment sales were related to them.

Be sure to join a free cycle group, if the place has been lived on before, there will be stuff that you would haul to the dump and folks will come and get it, they love baby food jars, coffee cans etc and of course all household and farm stuff.

I can’t take part in the one in my town, but do take time to read it each day, there have been many things that I wanted and saw offered for free, but what really does my heart warming, is when one of the regulars comes out with a request for all kinds of furniture, clothes, even food for a family having hard times..........and gets it, as they say thank you on the list.

The regular places, I don’t have knowledge of, such as ebay and my face, and there is some place with a man’s name, yes, the one where all the sex is for sale, people say it is the best place to buy and sell, maybe it is craig’s list, and it must be devided into states and towns.

When I looked for a backhoe for my brother, we used plain old google, put in a model and the state and took a look.

Ahhh the other word to search for is ‘farm equipment’.

I am glad you got the gulch and would give anything if it were me.

Bill and I often said that we had the most fun, in Wellton, simply fighting to survive.

I would love to go to the dump and see what has been tossed out, it is amazing what people put in the trash.

In Wellton, there was a small local dump about a mile from our house, I once found all the trimmings of the slabs some person had polished, and some beautiful slabs, years of collection, scraped up, cans and boxes and simply hauled out to the desert and dumped.........never figured out where they came from, figure someone died and the kids cleaned out the work shop.

Another time, on the way home, I drove through and someone had taken about 15 pairs of Bib overhauls, off the clothes line and hauled it out there and dumped it......another mystery, they were still stiff, from being dried on the clothes line.

So, I have been recycling for many years.

Yes, on ordering seeds early, today may be too late.

There have been years that I couldn’t get what I ordered, as they were sold out....real early.

During WW2, there was a shortage of seeds, Cabbage was not for sale, all the seeds went to Russia.

The Gov published a small book, on seed supplies during WW2, I have forgotten now what it said, but several items were in short supply here, they went to other countries.

Bring the food subject up in any crowd and you will find that they think the Gov will have food on the shelves in 3 days, indeed it will be just the opposite, at the first sign of trouble the law is already recorded, that will allow the Gov to take control of all food supplies, more than likely a part of the Martial Law law.

It existed back in the 1950’s as they warned us in San diego that the Gov would take over all the stores and warehouses of food, if we were attacked and that it would be several days before they would allow it to be passed out.

May God shine his blessings on this move, do keep us posted, let us share the fun...LOL...and cussing that is on the way.

Keep asking questions on here, one never knows when someone will pop up with the answer.

Stay safe and warm, be happy and Merry Christmas.
