Hey Tom, glad to see that you appreciate those of us with this lifestyle. I am between Winston and Greensboro and am fighting the developers and realtors to hang on to the farming lifestyle. I am the fifth generation member of my family to own this farm. I realized yesterday while running errands and seeing some the few old farm barns and sheds around how special my lifestyle is. Anyone with good credit and a good job can go out and buy a new house on a developed lot or residential area with lots of flair and eye candy. They are being built everyday. I have something that only a few people have, even though many would not want it. My love of this land and my lifestyle is priceless to me. The well-over 100 year house my family owns started as a one room log cabin. Additions were made as the years passed. The floors creak, corners are not square, the windows stick, but the memories make up for all the inconviences. Knowing the price of land in the area, the newcomers see our few acres of land and wonder why we don't sell it. They just can't understand why we want to live like hicks. At a recent county planning board meeting about a new, large development, one of the developer's wives talked about being glad to see car lights at night from houses being built near her. She and her doctor husband had built here "in the country" over 30 years ago. If she had wanted neighbors, why didn't they stay in town? Sorry to be so long but sharing my passion about this way of life has forced me to defend my lifestyle. The newcomers want us area residents to accept them. All I want is for them to return the favor.

Firm-joint calipers are adjusted approximately by the hands and then set to the feel of the work by tapping them on a metal surface. It is a common practice when opening calipers by this means to tap the top of the joint. It is better, if possible, to tap the inside of the legs, as repeated blo
