My B-day is on the 25th of May also. (neat huh) I spent all day Sunday with my son, (who is 6 years old now) and rode on the 4-wheeler, filled up some water ballons, went to the store, and did various other stuff that 6 year olds like.

My Dad got two tractors on Father's Day. A 1942 SC Case and a 1950 DC Case for parts. These are our first Case parts tractors, me and my Dad collect Farmalls and John Deeres.

Sounds like you had a good day. After ALL that you can look at your son, smile, and say it's all worth. Like the song says, thats something to be proud of.

Hit an aligator! That would have made my day also.

Wife wanted to go to the farm yesterday to spray weeds. Typical South Dakota winds of 20 plus mph. Decide to replace a one strand of barb wire 1/4 mile long. Had to roll 2 strand of wire laying on the ground plus the strand we wanted to replace. Started about 11:30 am and was done by 6:00 pm. Best Father Days present ever.

Well, that is quite a story, and all on father's day. My fathers day was like all the others I've experienced. When I grew up my mom had lots of guys coming to visit her over the years .... as a result I think I had something like 13 fathers so buying a present for each one could get expensive. It wasn't really that bad, I think at the top end there were only 2-3 fathers at one time. Maybe some of you had it worse than that and I should be counting my blessings. My own son has only one dad (me) and that simplifies things a lot.

No doubt that you would have liked her. She even liked JD guys with the 4-numeral models (and the 3-numeral models and the 2- numeral models and the letter series too).
