That comment about sucking up grease in a grease gun always brings back memories to me .Bad ones.
When I was about eight mom and dad were out in the hay field greasing the rake .When the gun went empty,dad told me to take it to the barn and fill it.I said I couldn't.Well he made me go anyway. Cant do it if you don't try, he said.I tried and I tried but every time I would almost get the plunger pulled back to lock it in place,I would lose hold on it .I had grease all over myself, the barn floor and you name it.Went back to the field where the parents were waiting and told them I tried but I couldn't fill the gun.Dad didn't take to kindly to my answer and I must have spouted off something back to him.Well mom took out after me on a dead run.I took off down the lane as fast as my bare feet could take me.Mom couldn't catch me so she picked up a big rock and threw it in my direction.I remember looking back as the rock came rolling right up to my heels.Luckily,I outran the rock too.I don't remember what happened to the mess in the barn.Its kind of funny now,but it sure wasn't back then.lol,bob

Great story; suggestion for you and others..... .when we reach a "certain" age, we become aware of our own mortality, maybe as our parents and their generation pass away. Take a few hours and write some of these stories down in narrative form for your kids/grandkids; they love hearing them and they'll love having them after you're gone. My ancestors were uneducated (and in some cases, illiterate) poor "dirt farmers". I have memories of the "tales" from the 2 previous generations, but nothing earlier than that, would love to know what earlier generations lives were like. Some families are doing this on tape, which is great, but I've always loved the printed word.
