Thank you. I really appreciate it.

That has nothing to do with why I was to be banned from the forums, but still, a very good thought and I hope everyone keeps gitrib in their thoughts and prayers.

I was not off licking my wounds. I was on the road to Louisville, KY for the farm machinery show.

I had to return because of another funeral. The second heroin overdose and the second grave to dig in sub zero weather, because of it. Come to find out it is a cremation and the burial won't be for a while. Another young life wasted, and a bright one at that. He made tools and dies for a company that makes airliner interiors. He had quite a few engineering breakthroughs.

He is gone. Drugs.



What would have got me banned for sure, I have deleted before even posting. Partly fueled by low blood sugar and insomnia, it would have been wrong and I know that. I will bite my tongue. That is only because I know I can help others, with my background and knowledge. I am useful as someone who can help others and I will put that ahead of anything I feel or anything I am trying to do for myself. I will always come last in my mind. It gives me more joy than doing for myself, any day...

I'm headed back to Louisville, KY now. I should be able to make it in time to meet a few people and have a good time. I will post pictures when I get back. No matter how far we come in the machinery world, it is important to remember your roots and what brought you to the party. I always do. I always look at what my family had to endure and my "toys" of old machinery were the way of life. I'm so glad I have them, but at the same time, I'm so glad it has changed for the better. If we had better equipment, my father would have had his father for a longer amount of time. So many relatives with back problems, and health problems... How many of them would be here today and viable, if they had what I get to have to farm with.

God Bless and talk to your children and grandchildren about drugs.

Today's Featured Article - Picking Corn - by Rick Nikolich. It was the day before Christmas shutdown at work and I asked our lead engineering expert Scott Andrzejewski what he was going to do over the holidays. He said that he had some corn that he still needed to pick with an antique one-row New Idea corn picker. Scott has a nice farm about an hour north of Lansing in St. Johns, MI. He wanted to get the rest of his corn in by the next day (Christmas Eve). We had about an inch of new snow on the ground and single digit temperatures. So in the bac ... [Read Article]
