For as long as I remember, and for as long as he was able to handle them, my Dad kept a team of work horses, out of memory of my Grandfather. As long as I can remember, every Christmas eve, after evening milking, he would hitch them up to a big sleigh with a hay rack on it, and we would climb abord, wrap up in heavy blankets, and make a trip around the block (6 miles), christmas caroling. (The back roads had more snow on them in the 60's and 70's) In route we picked up my 2 aunts and uncles and all of the cousins. Eather my mother or one of my aunts was always too sick to go along, and SANTA allways arrived while we were out. In the later years, my resorceful brother equipt a small army surplus generator with a quiet muffler, slung it in a box under the rack and added christmas lights. We all had hot chocolate and cookies at our place before we took them home. That went on every year from as early as I can remember until dad had to part with the team in the late 80's. Only once did we miss it, and that time we did it a night late. It was the year I was a sienor in high school. we had snow and a neighbor pluged in a tractor to push snow and it started his barn on fire. We got the call as we were finnishing in the barn, and we spent all night, along with our neighbors moving the herd and salvaged barn equptment to an unused barn 3 miles away, as another crew worked to get that barn back in useable condition. before leaving christmas day to go to the relatives for Christmas dinner. Dad, I and my brother delivered a wagon load of silage and 200 bales hay and straw to them. we just added it to the mountian of donated feed growing in the yard. I have many fond christmas memorys, but the year christmas eve came a day late will always be a special on for me

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
