Farming is like that sadly, any cotton in your neck of the ,.... desserts? It's really taking off over here in Kansas and all of the grain prices are in the tank.

Yea Farming is a gamble, its been 90 days not a drop of rain, I got some temp work servicing trucks and tractors, some welding work just covering the bills, the farmers here are holding off because the cropping is nothing but a dust storm.... anyhow just need to keep it going.

Up north they have floods drowning whole towns, Australia is extreme this year with crazy weather.

I feel bad that you're going through some hard times Dave. The temp work you picked up seems pretty good though. I frequently work on the trucks at work and I work on tractors on the side too. I definitely haven't counted you out of this build off. There's a lot of time left.

Sorry all, I still haven't been able to get into my project, but it looks like I may have to do a last minute rush. I have been looking at the progress of the builds and its all looking fantastic. Keep it going you are all doing well. Cheers.

I hope things pick up soon.  Also living in a "farming" state in the U.S. I understand the hardships.  Hope that when you do finally get rain, that it isn't flooding as well.  When we went over well 100 (some near 200) days without rain a few years back, all our lakes dropped under 10% capacity it was bad.  Then all the sudden it was like we caught up all that rain in one month's time.

It is noted that you are on hold on your build.

Hanging in there should turn around soon.

Roger that!  Hope things get better!  Getting any rain yet?

Hi all, I have had a bad run this year, my illness has been very poor. I am getting treatment but it’s not really helping. Anyhow, your builds are looking great, best wishes hope you get a win. Cheers.

Sorry to hear that Dave. We're rooting for you to get better.

? I don't remember writing any of this stuff? not making sense to me at all? Been in hospital for a while, brain mapping me, not looking good. I guess I not able to do build this year, Last build was fun, me
just not well. please don't pray for me, its Gods way.

Sorry there has been a delay.  Doug takes care of the prizes mostly out of his own pocket.  Some members help with donating prizes and some cash donations to help purchase and send those items.  Doug does a bang up job doing this, but I can attest his year has been full with many things going on.  This is causing the delay.  I'm sure you can understand.  I have reached out to @Doug to see if there was anything I could do to help expedite the prize delivery.  I can assure you that you have not upset anyone.

PS: I'm praying for that Miracle for you.

Its me again.

Now that Haspin is finally over, and my financial situation starting to stabilize, I was able to get just about everything I was missing ordered, and if all goes well should ship at the beginning of July!

I am extremely sorry for the delay, as I have stated before. I feel absolutely terrible.

Thanks Mate cheers.

DAVE!!!  Nice to see you back!  I saw your Facebook post about the speedster and the fuel.  Happens to us all.  LOL  

Good luck man!

Unrelated to your build but excellent work on the 24 hour mower ride!
