Got out today to roll some dirt with my 12. Wish I knew how to resize pics.on my I phone. Rebuilt a 1/4 mile of dirt road. Moisture content was just right. Didn't come in contact with anyone. Didn't touch anything but the controls. I live out near nowhere. This is the road to Rodgers house. He was my right hand man getting this old 12 running again.

email on the fritz again can receive but cannot send so I posted them here.
I can rotate the pic or resize it making it smaller or larger ... larger you make a picture the more grainy it becomes
I rotated the picture and made one copy smaller and one copy larger for you. hope that's what you wanted.
Anything else you need me to do with that picture?
If there are any more pictures you need reworked email them over and let me know what you want done with them. I'll get my email working again, same issue, got time to work on it now.

Why do birds like to apply "whitewash" to graders? I see they made it up to Palmdale and found your grader. Our museum Cat 12 seat particularly attracts the birds big time. A "whitewash wiping" is necessary before doing anything else. My jeans often look like I have been hanging drywall rather than grading roads!

Hanging out in the house and yard seeing no one. Rather boring but at least I am not sick!

Thanks Dan, for the resize and post of the pictures.. Jammers, The white wash is my resident owls work. The good part is, it is from gopher bones being recycled. I am not into looks.

Skinner< nice ford hiding in the background. Is that a F-85 or 60 engine? When I was 15 and new t-birds and Corveets just came out, old 32s weren't worth much. My Mom got tired of my brother and brother in laws junk in the back yard. Chopped 32 5 window full fender just need an engine, 30 roadster with a 60 in it, mechanical brakes, A 32 roadster body with 5 grill shells sitting in the chicken coop, A full 32 roadster on frame ,needing engine and trans. She got $15.00 from a scrapper for it all. She just wanted her back yard back.:doh:

Boy I can relate to that old ford engine, About 1962 my buddy and i bought a 1934 ford sedan that wasn't to bad an old car. we put a later model engine in it and roll bars, took it to the local 1/4 mile dirt track and destroyed it. Seemed like the thing to do then, kind of makes me sick now.
