You wouldn't have to hire me sweetie. It's not in my nature to ask folks I care about to pay when I do something for them. I just simply do it with no expectation of anything in return...............though some have been known to shake my hand or give me a hug, both of which have been known to bring a tear to my eye.

Oh Dar's an asshole all right but a likeable and loveable asshole, what's great about Dar is you know where you stand, and if you don't want to know don't ask him. Hang in there Dar

I will hang in there Snuf.

Yup, I'm an asshole. Always was and will always be.

Long, long time ago, in Church, learned that a man should always be treated as he thought others should be treated. If I can not accept others and treat them fairly then I myself cannot be treated fairly.

I have done bad things in my life...........horrible things. Many of us probably have. But each day I try to do more good than bad to try and improve the score.

Some time back had a man working for me that turned out to be a cattle thief. He was on probation. He said to me, "Dar, you're the only man I've ever met that can fall into a pail of shit an came out smellin' a rose". I said, Rod, that's cause I keep a straw in my pocket to push up through the shit to breath.

I am simply what I am. Nothing more, nothin less.

This time...................

As many of you know, I chose to take retirement and Social Security at age 62 in 2010. In 2011, I was extremely lucky to sell a larage portion of my ranch to include the main house, horse barns, cowbarns, well house and a couple water tanks (Northeners call them ponds).

That paid off all my mortages, equipment loans, and other outstanding personal loans.

Since then, I've found that the SSA check doesn't meet all the expenses. I still run horses, calves, and a ranch operation. So I've fallen back onto expertice. I've a dozer, heavy tractors and trucks/trailers, bush hogs, disks, plows, seed /fertilizer speaders, etc.

Being retired, I advertise dozer work at $60/hr, fence line work at $35/hr, grapple clean-up at $35/hr and light grading at $25/hr.

Young bucks in the area are charging 75-150$% higher in their prices. They're pissed at what I'm charging. I'm getting the work..........quality far above what these asshats are giving.

A couple of them stopped by today to tell me what and where-fore. Told them to take a fucking hike.

These young fucks have no idea of what we seniors have lived through and what we will do to survive. They think the world is their oyster............there was never a pearl in my life. They can kiss my fucking ass.

I've done every fucking dirty job there is, from jack-hammering out urinals to digging graves. I will fucking survive, on my terms, not on the terms of piss-ant, cock-kissing, government tit-sucking, shit.

LMAO, go get 'em young man.
