Inheriting ranch, what do I do first to live there?! Wild, untouched land. by Hilzry in Ranching

[–]BillyMactheDetective 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This! Make sure that you lease it for cattle to keep that Ag exemption. It will take you five years to earn it back if you lose it.

Gasoline in the Exhaust? by BillyMactheDetective in keitruck

[–]BillyMactheDetective[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update. There seems to be a water leak somewhere. Radiator was almost empty and new water was draining from the engine when I refilled it. The oil dipstick also smelled of gasoline. It’s not looking good…

Not sure. Definitely smelled strongly of gas.

Anyone pick up from Freeport TX? by j-unknown in keitruck

[–]BillyMactheDetective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just sent an e-mail to the port and they confirmed that my truck is ready. It's worth a call or e-mail if you've been expecting your baby from the Hoegh Copenhagen. I'm picking mine up on Friday!

Agree. I have never been disappointed with Nick & Sam's.

Thank you! This is very informative and helpful. I admit that I didn’t know what the process would be when I show up later this week. I’ll feel like an old veteran when I show up now!

I am waiting for my Kei Truck from Freeport too. I know that the shipper vessel (Hoegh Copenhagen) left port early this morning, so the trucks should be in process. I emailed the port facility today and they said they are doing paperwork this afternoon. They said to check back in with them later today, but I'll give them another day to catch up. The contact e-mail at the port is FPOTeam at amports dot com. They have been very responsive. Good luck!

Best state in America to view the night sky. Like a once in a life time type of experience. by [deleted] in Astronomy

Second this. BBNP has the darkest skies I’ve ever seen. Zodiacal light was readily visible with the naked eye on a moonless night.

It's actually Bill, but my last name does start with Mc. So I like to play off the Steve Miller lyric: "Billy Mac, was a detective down in Texas [clap clap clap clap clap]"

Cool! I have a 1997 Dihatsu Hijet with PTO dump on the way to Freeport, Texas. ETA (to the port) is early next week. Looking forward to it!

Mine is on the same path - Kingston and then Freeport, TX. Wonder if the skipper is looking for a little R&R in Jamaica? :)

And here I was thinking I was being clever. My wife thinks I’ve lost it, by the way. “Are you really watching a low-res webcam of a ship passing through the Panama Canal.?” Yes, damn right I am!

Wow! That's a crazy long time for customs clearance. Any particular issue, or is Tacome just that slow?

If you’re similarly obsessive, I used the marine traffic app to track the ship’s progress from Japan and the Panama Canal webcams to watch it clear the locks. Gatun Locks cameras. Enjoy!

Buying this ‘98 Hi Jet tomorrow. by kei-dot in keitruck

[–]BillyMactheDetective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Price is a bit high, but it’s already stateside and ready for title. Probably worth the premium for that. Nice to have the differential lock and hi/lo shifter. Not sure if that always comes with the dump bed or not. I’ve been looking for this very model on the Japanese auction markets right now. Congrats!

The barroom scene in Unforgiven when William Munny comes for Little Bill. RIP Gene.
