I think Monroe likes it down south ,cant wait to see what else he has been up to.

cknfrmr · 07-27-2016, 12:19 PM

GR8-68 cant believe you are getting to take Monroe on your road trip. That's awesome. Front cross member came out great that I got from you. Thanks again.

**special-K** · 07-28-2016, 08:00 AM

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

He wandered around and found a few old trucks,

http://

He even found my "stash" in the barn

http://

He was checking out this 292

http://

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

http://

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 .

**GR8-68** · 07-28-2016, 01:48 PM

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.

**Grumpy old man** · 07-28-2016, 03:11 PM

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 !

**GR8-68** · 07-28-2016, 04:25 PM

The wife shared some of Monroe's first moments with me, she said he was so excited to finally get out of that box

**GR8-68** · 07-28-2016, 04:33 PM

My wife said the first thing he wanted to do was introduce himself to Cletus our hen, he spent a moment with her then mosey over to meet Bella. He said he really likes it at the C10 farm.

**GR8-68** · 07-28-2016, 05:59 PM

Monroe discovered the bird swing before I got home, he really enjoys the shade on these hot days

**GR8-68** · 07-28-2016, 06:56 PM

He said he really likes to read the posts of the day on the forum so here we are

**special-K** · 07-28-2016, 10:24 PM

Looks like you tired him out. He's all stretched out on his back

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.

**GR8-68** · 07-29-2016, 08:04 AM

I will keep that in mind John

**GR8-68** · 07-29-2016, 08:07 AM

Monroe enjoyed a great spaghetti dinner last night, he even helped the wife prepare it.

**GR8-68** · 07-29-2016, 08:10 AM

Getting ready to cook

I'll bet Monroe thought he was the early bird gett'n ALL those worms!

**GR8-68** · 07-29-2016, 06:55 PM

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.

**GR8-68** · 07-29-2016, 06:58 PM

Afyer he recovered from his net entanglement he spent some playtime with Slayer . He was very wore out so now he is doing nap time with Smokey
