This was (apparently) a nice, quiet and reasonably normal place before Larry invited me over here. Now I'm sure that Doc is wondering what the heck happened to his website in one short month! :shitHitsFan: :shock:

Blame Larry Doc!!! Going back to square one... He's the one that's really responsible!!! :hide: :hide2:

Dougster
 
Blame Larry??? :eek: Heck no, I'll have to give him some more rep points. I have to say it was rather quiet here until you guys got in here. You all have helped a whole lot IMHO. :thumb: We now have an active forum, where we share tractor tidbits, and we have fun while we're doing it. Can't beat that. :thumb: :D

Thanks to you all. Cheers! :beer:
ps. Get your free starbucks coupons from Dougster as I'm fresh out. :D :poke:

You should have seen me at the doctor's office yesterday... paying my $15.00 "co-pay" with singles and coins from my piggy-bank!!! :rolleyes:

Starbucks is WAY off the radar screen for this "early-retired", snowplow-driving old fool. :o

The variable definition of a Yankee...
Outside the US, a Yankee is someone from the US.
In the US, a Yankee is someone from the North.
In the North, a Yankee is someone from New England.
In New England, a Yankee is someone who eats apple pie for breakfast... with a fork.

Working, as I did, on many occasions and many jobs in Mexico, Central America and the Dominican Republic, I was never the "Yankee"... I was always the "Gringo"!!! :) I couldn't understand any other words they were saying, but I always knew when the conversation involved moi! :D

Yankees refer to me and my bretheran in the hilltowns of the western hills of Taxachusetts as "Hill Apes" :mrgreen:, and there might be a few Yankee Revenuers :moon3: buried in the back woods around here too;) . When I worked in Costa Rica I was called "El Gato Gordo", "El Cafe' Junkee", or "El Loco Hombre/Cabellero", but never a "Gringo" :thumb: . Jay

Isn't that funny! :) In Mexico, they also had another nickname for me... which loosely translates back into English as "The Frito Bandito" or "The Magnificent Bandit" or "The Great Bandit"... I forget which. It was all a play on my surname when translated into Spanish... which they thought was hilarious... and it stuck. ;)

I was called a Gringo also in Mexico. I was in Thailand once and ran into some other tourists. I asked them...............Where y'all from? The teenage daughter replied................Oh, a Texan, I love Texas.:respect: They were from England.
Enough said.

The one thing I have learned when outside the USA is to smile :mrgreen: and learn the local words for please and especially thank you. I will never become one of those ugly americans :mad2: who think that if you yell in english loud enough :badidea: the locals will understand you. Jay

Jay,
I agreed completely. I also correct them that I am a Texan, not a Yankee, while smiling REAL BIG.
hugs, Brandi

Just want to thank the Dougster and let everyone here know that he helped me immensely on the "other" website with purchase of the right PTO shaft. Am recovering from knee surgery and ready to go to back to work, so I don't know how much time I will have to contribute here, but wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday. Am sad that gun season is over at 4:30 today in NH, but looking forward to one more week of muzzleloading in NY.
