Now That’s What i Call a Tractor!

Good Old Boy, Rough Neck, Country Boy…. Call it what you will I am one I don’t go to the existent of calling my self a redneck or hillbilly cause well those are the people that think wal-mart is part of the government.  I have been in the country my whole life i live and breath it. I am not your typical Country Boy of course due to the profession i am in i do more than just sit around a tire fire talking about there cousins. Truth be known i really don’t sit around tire fires…..yeah. well being a Country boy I have to admit that i do indulge in some of the sporting events. These are not what you would think though but yes NASCAR is one of those events but i hate nascar. what i am talking about is Tractor Pulls. yes good old fashion lets see how much that tractor can pull till it stops Country Sport. i just w For those of you that have never heard of or seen Tractor Pulls its my delight to tell you all about them.  The basic premise of Tractor pulls is they hook the tractor up to a sled that at a slight angled track on it that track is a large amount of weight when they start pulling it the box of weight moves toward the top of the sled and the weight of that starts to make the sled dig in the ground so they are not only pulling all that weight but also pulling against the earth. the goal is to pull 300 feet. that is what they call a full pull. but if they pull past 300 they will either do a pull of at the end. which means they add more weight and pull again or they will just do a floating finish which means who ever pulled the farthest wins. but you might as what fun is seeing a tractor pull a sled of weight. OH well thats the one thing i didn’t mention you to you yet. When i say tractor well some of these the only thing they have in common with a tractor is the frame and wheels. People will put any kind of engine on these things can range from a Modified Tractor engine to a Jet Engine i have see ones with 4 hemi’s on it before amazing seeing such power pulling such weight is awesome. its a great thing to see if you really like to see raw power.

other country sporting events:

• monster truck rallys
• crash derbys
• rodeo’s
• and anything with a gun or fishing pole.

Wal-Mart…High Class Society. Always.

So christina and I went to Wal-Mart last night. we don’t make a habit of going there we hardly ever go actually. but when i do go its always an adventure. right from the start you get there trying to find parking. actually we just try to get to the first empty spot and park. but on the way to the back as everyone has always done sees someone getting to their car and waits. but people at wal-mart will just stop for 10 min waiting for one person to get out of there spot. even though in this scenario  the man was just getting something out of his car to go right back in to the super saving extravaganza. i love how people are so lazy that they will wait 10 min just to save 30 feet of walking. so we get in eventually and its like a white trash emporium i only say white trash cause i saw one man with a white trash tee-shirt that i found amusing. its also the easiest way to spot; Mullets, fanny packs, and the ever so popular cut off tee-shirt that you can see the persons side all the way down to his waist.  but this trip i was mildly surprised to not see any children crying or crying and being beat’n. but we didn’t go near toys so don’t worry there was a child in the store some where gett’n a wooopin some where. i think thats a rule or something if you as a parent don’t see a kid crying or being hit you have to grab yours and do it. to keep the natural order of course. so we got our item we just needed to grab and then headed to the fast check out. which is the best when you really get to hear people for who they are. . . idiots. but everytime im there i always see the baby that is in its diaper and a stained shirt that almost looks like they painted it. and the best part it just stares at you and doesn’t blink but if it does it does it when you do. we paid for our item then we started for the door. . . then the best part i hear some one complaining about there child or something and hear. “I don’t care what they think its my child and ill do what i want to IT.” classic. just plain classic.
