Mike, I am in no hurry, I even go through my encyclopedias on a regular basis. The only thing I use the computer for is to read these forums and talk to you folks. I believe that the computer age is not helping with the basics of education. I know folks who are a whiz on computers, but are lost when you give them a pencil and paper. Maybe it is like my love of these old tractors. I am not real big on all this progress. It seems like one day folks will not be able to solve any problems without the computer. As my mother always said, I am hard headed and will continue to do things the old hard way if possible. Some of my friends and neighbors are always on me about buying a new tractor or two, but I get a big kick out of the fact that lots of them think I can't get anything done with these old relics. I have seen some of them go under due to the fact that they couldn't pay for all those new things. I still grow most of my food here at home. We can everything we grow and butcher our meat, even rendor lard and smoke our own bacon. Lots of these things are being lost to progress. When I was a kid all the relatives would get together on Thanksgiving and kill hogs, sometimes 30 or 40 it was a big deal that took about three or four days to do. Everyone in the community would take part in this. At that time my great grandpa was still alive and he ran the show. These times are nearly gone forever and I miss them. They say you shouldn't live in the past, but I thoroughly enjoyed most of it. Sorry for rambling on.
