" It s a poor workman who blames his tools. "
 
well as you can see my daily post is here
my internet still sucks as they showed up to rework it
only the supposed fix couldn't even be installed as the experts didn't do their own research n wasted 4 hrs of my day GRRRRR
sure made for a late night getting done
so I'm back to waiting till they think up a new solution
 
I'm happy that so many of you enjoy my daily history blurb.
I enjoy were the research takes me compiling this a lot never makes it onto the post as I'm trying to keep it shorter than before.
Always looking for tractor n farm related history to include.
Please keep on reading and don't be bashful adding to it.
I try for what I feel is the most important things to include.
But that may leave something out that's more significant for others.
 
Thanks blue. Sounds like a nice hobby. You mentioned the internet rooting (startup specs) back in 1980. I doubt there is anything more profound in the development of mankind than the internet. It's just mind boggling how often I go to it to get information that was totally unavailable or really hard to acquire about anything and everything prior to it, from getting information on medications to getting parts for antique tractors, to "toys" for your hobbies, to tracking dangerous weather patterns.

Last but not least, productivity in the work place. Just mind boggling.

Thanks,
Mark
 
Doctors used ether on my mother in London when she was young to remove her appendix. Used it on a Tuesday and she woke up on Thursday. Told her to never let ether be used on her again.
