I had a hard time keeping him from jumping into the farm truck once he found out there was a chicken auction on Saturday ...little booger grabbed my wallet and tried to hot wire my ride ! it's kind of hard to skate board across the pasture . we almost had chicken ala Monroe for dinner that night :lol:

He wandered around and found a few old trucks,

He even found my "stash" in the barn

He was checking out this 292

And he wanted to sew some seats up but had a problem holding onto anything but his drink, err phone ,

More pictures to come ...

Grumpy,
Seen Monroe looking over the old 292 engine. What are your plans for it. I bought the set of Green buckets from your son last fall. Donn

That 292 runs great but is on its way to the machine shop for a total old school performance rebuild, tri power carbs , new cam and lumps ,stainless valves etc. I have a "few" projects going on .

Well good news, Monroe has arrived at the Belews Creek post office. My wife just texted me and said she is on her way to pick him up so he doesn't overheat in his box. I am sure Monroe is very hungry by now, glad we had chicken for dinner last night instead of tonight. :lol:

Chickens are cannibalistic little boogers , It's like having a bunch of little Velociraptors running around the place . we have June bugs still flying around and the chickens chase them everywhere .Crickets are fought over and a slice of bread starts an all out game of keep away !:lol:

Don't let him fool you - the bird can't read. He looks at pictures. And don't leave him alone with an open browser or you won't believe the pictures he'll be looking at.

Monroe has had a fairly eventful day, he got up this morning and basked in the sunlight just taking in the beauty of country style living, unfortunately he got a bit adventurous and seemed to get a bit tangled within our decorative netting above our bar. :lol:
