rubbing on tire, kawasaki decals

I accidentally deleted a post about the unused land debate, someone reading the list in digest mode so they took a while to respond. Please email me directly, or repost. I am interested in everybody's opinions about this. I find it interesting, but not suprising that the tolerance for "borrowing" unused land goes WAY down when there are public areas available. The practice was always a way of life where I grew up (since there is nearly nothing available locally), and as long as you treated the property the way you would treat your own, I never really questioned it. Thanks, Devon

Devon, The old 80/20 rule applies here to, 80% of the people get screwed out of using what few land resources there are, because 20% are a$$holes and won't treat someone else's land with respect. I have had to post our land in Oklahoma, because people used it without any regard for the land owner's rights. I would spend at least one extra hour cleaning up someone else's trash before I could mow the grass. I have not ever been able to walk from one end of my own place to the other without having to stop several times to pick up trash left behind. On more than one occasion, I have had to stop what I was doing and go inform some idiot, that the land he was doing donuts on, ripping up my nice Bermuda grass in the process, was private land. They all reply the same way, "I didn't know". Pure hogwash! I'm sick of trying to be the nice guy. Off my soapbox now, Marshall in Slidell, La 95 KLXC3 "Blackhorse" (in honor of those who served)

This reminds me of my farmhand days. There was a subdivision at the back field of my boss' 400 acre farm. One day, as the boss' son and I were working ground, the son pulls his sweep plow out of the ground and hauls ass. At the time, I thought he was heading back to the house for fuel, but when he got back he told me the whole story. A gal from the subdivision had been riding her horse on the freshly tilled ground. He had drove up to her on the tractor, a screaming match ensued: "You're scaring my horse!" "You're on my land!" foul language followed. "I thought this was State land." "Listen lady, you're on freshly turned ground and the State doesn't farm...THINK!! Besides, you didn't even bother to ask, either. Look where the fence goes." That ended her visits, but didn't stop them all. That's all that most land owners want, just ask. After that, the boss' son told of an incident months before where some kids on ATVs were doing the same thing. One stalled as they were trying to run from the boss' son. The kid that was riding the ATV that stalled, hopped on another and rode away. The boss and his son loaded the ATV into the pick-up and hauled it to the Sheriff's Office with instructions that they wanted trespassing charges pressed on whoever came for the ATV. That evening, the Sheriff notified the boss that they had detained the parent who owned the ATV. The boss went to the office, had a discussion with the parent, and let him go with the understanding that they should ask first. My incident occured while working that same section. One of the residents of the subdivision came out of his house, leaned on the fence, and stared me down every time I went by on a round. I had finally had enough, went over and ask what his problem was. He replied with "Your farming is spreading rye into my pasture." Snidely, I replied, "Sir, for one thing, that's a plot (2.5 acres) not a pasture. Number two, this rye was there before the white man! If anything, your rye is getting into my wheat." Never did see him again. Been on both sides of the fence, and still say that the best policy is to ask first. Mistakes do happen, and most will forgive, the others generally shoot. So, keep your distance. "Swede"

What I have seen happen here in Central PA is a housing development goes by a local pig or dairy farmer and people complain because of the smell when he spreads manure. Or just the smell of his barn on days when they are downwind. Some even try to pass ordinances, some succeed. Sad. What do they expect when they move into a barnyard. brent the ole farm boy now a correctional officer

Ya, a similar thing happened in BlueBell, PA back in my flying days. These dumbasses build their $400,000+ homes across the street from a small airport. They call the airport and the cops, complaining about the noise. There's even a lobby trying to get the airport closed. The funny thing is that some of the neighbors of these whiny jerks are also base customers of the airport. I'd love to see their block party. Mark B2 A2 A3

I gotta jump in here. I live in Colorado Springs, home of the Air Force Acadamy. People living north of town, in the exclusive Black Forest area have the same problem with noise from cadet flight training. 'can't they practice somewhere else'? The Acadamy's been here since the 50's. The newcomers want silence at their 5 acre plots. Hmm... Who should prevail? The Black Forest residents have a US congressman on their side. As a retired Air Force NCO, all I can say is... 'sound of freedom... GT

I think Devon is right, it's not supposed to rub on the tire, it's supposed to rub on the SPOKES. Makes that great KLR "motor" sound! ;-D -Sorry, coudn't resist. Re-engaging lurk mode... GT -- In DSN_klr650@y..., Devon Jarvis wrote:
