Can't......resist......any....longer.

So does "by God" imply "almost Heaven" ?

Hey, I'm not even the most facetious one here! At least I don't think I am. :hide: But if you've been lurking already, no warning needed! :mrgreen:

I am originally from Morgantown, but currently live in Charleston.


Let's go Mountaineers!


I guess you could say I'm a bit of a college football/basketball fan.

:biggrin:

I was just in Parkersburg the other day.

'By God' could mean "Almost Heaven". It could also mean, "Open for Business". If you're from WV you'll get it.

Our state struggles with mottos.

I was born in Clarksburg and my Dad and Grandma still live a bit east of Bridgeport on Rt. 50.

Nope didn't quite follow; I'll have to do some googling regarding that later.

I have a tractor built out your way [actually visited the plant/showroom/testing grounds a few years back]. My wife says I have a love/hate relationship with it: it's so handy, I often find projects just at the end of its limits then complain about poor performance, until the next project!

The current Governor of WV (Manson) changed the state motto from "Almost Heaven" to "Open for Business". So they spent thousands changing all the state signs. The new slogan did not take hold with the populous. After lots of complaining I think they are going to change the motto back (not positive if that is a final decision or not at this point).

Good job, Doc. I'm impressed. So much money wasted. We're a poor state in the first place... the last thing we need to do is spend money on road signs if we don't have to.

Who said anything about choosing?! You eventually windup posting in almost all of them....

Yep, between the tractor guys Doc mentioned and the SnowCat guys Skurka and others have brought along, theres no lack of horsepower around here to drag you into the mud - if you don't find your way there yourself.

On the positive, I now smell like a tanker truck, but my PT is no longer gelled up! I think the IH will be more cooperative, but we'll see. If you like the old ones, I have a '29 McCormick Deering 22-36 half apart and going from the machine shed to the garage soon as I now have most of the engine parts here.

Welcome from a fellow West Virginian. Born and raised in the Eastern Panhandle and still live there. My parents have a vacation place up in Preston County just across the MD line near Cranesville Swamp. Of course whenever we go up there, the wife always heads into Morgantown for shopping.

I'm a big Mountaineer fan as well.

Yeah Doc was right................the first members migrated here from a tractor forum.
So some of us post pictures of tractors, but some post pictures of guns and some post pictures of boobies :yum:
