Prepper stuff

They closed the only track around here that ran them.

There is a very small track on a local Indian reservation, but too small for DD.

Key Takeaway: No self respecting prepper keeps a slant-6 Dart loaded, fueled and ready to head for their bug out spot.

Leave the Dart, take "the Goat".

Chrysler Imperials, 300's, and New Yorkers were the best for demo derbies. They are now no longer allowed in most derbies around here.

I ran a Dart in a demolition derby a couple of times.

Never won, but it ran for three outings...

"Imma a Mopar guy, but I don't like the dodge dart. It like the cuda fast backs... just plain ol ugly"

Guy across the road from me has a 66 Cuda fastback, that was a factory built 1/4 miler. One of 6 made that year. When he got it, there was no VIN plate. I can't remember the exact procedure, but he had to jump through a bunch of hoops to make it street legal.

In high school I dated a girl with a Dodge Dart , it had that slant 6 under the hood , I don’t scare easily but that thing was scary fast .

Idk what happened between the 63 fury III & the E-body..... but I don't like it.

Lol yup. Amazing the same company can build a 69 roadrunner, 70/71 e and b body and throw those 66, 67 chargers at us.

@flip: that's another one of those that look like a bugs bunny cartoon.

66, 67 charger is the worst imo

"@DB: that story is obviously fiction. There is no such thing as a "nice" dart... lol"

Dems fightin' words!

It really was a nice car, until he wrankled it up showing off.

"Personally I think his billy goat is a little bastard. Literally wants to butt heads, thighs, nutsacks, literally everything within reach of his horny head. And unlike cows, the goats like to climb on anything they can."

This reminds me of a guy I worked with in the restaurant while I was in High School.

He managed to get a date with one of the hot waitresses, who happened to be a farm girl. The guy shows up in his real nice '67 Dart, and goes in the house to meet the parents. John comes out of the house with the girl, and there is a goat standing on the hood of his car. He goes nuts, runs up to the car, and punches the goat in the head, knocking it off the hood.

That was the end of their date, and their relationship.

Luckily my solar panels will probably never see snow

“Bonus : they sell the wool.“

It keeps people warm in winter when the solar panels are covered in snow .

Oops, Xcel, not Excel.

I always forget that since I don't write them a check anymore- just autopay.

"She wants pets..."

Another friend's wife wanted goats as pets. They got fainting goats. Friendly and cute things, but strangest defense mechanism ever. Startle them (yell, clap your hands), they just fall over and lay there for a bit before they recover, get up and go on their merrily goatsy way. Probably not the best choice for preppers though.

Gotta believe they're extinct in the wild or the foxes, coyotes and weasels would be fat as hell.

Excell or Exxon? Because Exxon makes more sense.

Excel is getting more eco-friendly by way of solar farms in their electrical generation around here. They've discovered that sheep do a better (and cheaper) job of mowing around the solar panels than a person using a fossil fuel or electric powered lawn mower ever could.

Bonus : they sell the wool.

We have a couple of companies out here that rent out herds of goats to "mow" fields.

They get good money from the highway department cleaning up the sides of hills next to the freeways.

"We have a couple guys around here who rent out herds of goats if you have an area overrun with Buckthorn or any other invasive plants."

Yeah, I'm considering contacting one of the people who rent their goats out for buckthorn. A friend raises goats- he told me that you have to teach the goats to eat buckthorn and then they will target it and leave most everything else alone.

His goats are for milking. There are people in his family who can't tolerate cow's milk but can drink goat's milk. Goat milk is expensive in the store. Having milked dairy cows, I get a chuckle out of his mini milking parlor. I'm skeptical, but they drink it raw/unpasteurized.

@DB... We have a couple guys around here who rent out herds of goats if you have an area overrun with Buckthorn or any other invasive plants. After a week or two, those goats have the entire area cleaned up.

A guy I know fenced off a large cattle pasture with about 15 acres of woods on one end. The cattle wouldn't really go into the woods for shade or anything because it was so grown up. He put a small herd of goats in the pasture with them and after awhile that woods was cleaned off like you mowed it. The cattle moved right in to enjoy the shade after that.

Cheese and soap are a good idea.

"...be sure to figure that part out."

If it does use cheesecloth and does use soap molds, it's the cheese recipe. ;)

Soap that tastes like cheese seems better than cheese that tastes like soap.. be sure to figure that part out.
