dont know how you meant that comment, but now I feel guilty for taking that potato picker picture.

Ya see I just came out of a side road facing that machine. As I was setting directly across from it,I told the wife I wanted a pic of it( she thought I was crazy and maybe someone would shoot at us.

I said if it was out for the public to see I bet they wouldn't mind. their vehicles were blocking the driveway so I had to almost take it on the run..I pulled in front of their mailbox and took a quick snap... You must have been watching ..LOL

Kind of answering Lyle, he said his potato picker just walked out of the room. I'd hate to see what would happen to him if she tripped and happened to look over his shoulder. Actually, I have to watch out for my better half; she often comments on my comments. But I just can't help my rotten self--
 
By the way, I thought it was a great picture. There used to be one sitting by the road about ten miles from here and I'm kinda of sorry they didn't make cameras like we have today to get a picture of it.
 
Ok guess ya didn't click on the reply to lyles
name / post so it directed to me..LOL
No harm just the confusion and the circumstance of getting the pic made me think.

I do wish I had my camera along would have gotten more pics.. Grand daughter was on her smart phone and had to multi task for me. I seemed to bother her when she was texting .

Damn ,, when we were kids we enjoyed looking out the window. Maybe if I get a back up monitor and a front mounted camera and a fake keyboard for the back seat ????
 
If you guys looked on the IH board I posted about question about a potato digger the same time your message was posted,I just bought one the same as one of you guy posted a picture of.Mine is locked up and needs to be freed.Im going to put it behind my Fergurson{it has been convered to 3 pt}and take it to the county fair this year.Was the actual color of this yellow.Also I plant about 250 lbs of potatoes each year and the older I get the harder it becomes.I paid 100 for it

Yeah, you might want to get real modern and get one of those things something like the State Police are using around here now. Takes a picture of your tag and feeds it into a computer that then whistles if you are wanted or have some violation he can pull you over on. Homeland Security might even buy it for you if you can figure out how to make a potato a terrorist threat and then you won't even feel guilty! Man, I'm even giving myself some ideas--
 
Gotta add just a bit to this. I was just looking in the 'police blotter' in the local rag. Some numbnut called the police because someone was in the neighborhood taking pictures, You haven't been to N Maryland recently, have you?
 
No I haven't ..If I'm going to jail I want close home.. If I see a people I'll ask to take a pic and tell them why I won't take pics if kids are in the yard.. folks may take me as a pedophile or something. I only take pics of strangers old equipment or barns.. the last pic did include the house as I mostly never take because of invading privacy is against the law.(this one is obscured by the pine tree) Old run down barns are my favorite as they tell a story of hard times old and new.,
or an abandoned piece of equipment
 
If yours is the one El Toro posted don't look as much wood was used in the fabrication of it .
the one he posted looks like this 1913 Hoover

See comment on your previous post. Those are good people that have that picker, would of let you take all the pics you wanted to.
 
Before anyone gets too worried, you could punch in the address to google and look at streetview, there is probably a picture of their front yard anyway.

Not a lot privacy left in this world.

Neighbor asked me this summer what I was doing behind my pond. I had rototilled up a big area of top soil to use for fill in another area of the property. He saw it from google. I grow landscape trees, and it is quite easy to zoom in and see the ones that are only 3 feet.
