Bandit, I am glad to read your positive outlook on life even after your accident. I always enjoy your postings very much. I just thought I would share the last 2 years of my life with you too. 2 years ago I had both of my hips re-surfaced. I had arthritis so bad I had a hard time walking after 12 hours on concrete everyday at my job, plus part time cattle farming. Both my hips were just wore out of round in the hip sockets. Luckily I didn't have to have the full new hip socket replacements. The re-surfacing was putting a new "cap" on top of my femur bone and another "cap" that acts like a new round socket up inside my hip bone. Together they make a new nicely round joint for me. I had both hips done in a 6 week time frame to minimize time off work. I was 43 years old at that time. I had the severe arthritis pain for 6 years prior to that. That pain was just unbearable on a daily basis. So now just less than 2 years later, I am off work again with right shoulder surgery done just 2 weeks ago today to repair 2 severely torn tendons. This was even more painful than my hip issues. I have a long road of slow recovery ahead of me. Doc says I pretty much beat the sh!* out of my body all these years from working so hard. But that's what was literally beat into my head by my old man was to work, work, and work some more. So here I am coming up on 46 years of age with learning how to do daily work tasks by working smarter not harder. That in itself is a challenge. LOL So I say best of luck to you. I truly wish you the best of luck. Keep posting, I enjoy your writings. Take care and God bless. Kow Farmer kurt

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
