I remember as a high school kid when I helped my Uncle Ernie in Loogootee put up hay (fifty cents an hour plus a baloney sandwich, woooooo hooooooo) he always had some local retired "old fart" rake for him. Wellllllll that was 45 years ago and now Ive become (matured) that very same guy grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Anywho we were raking yesterday and the wind blew the windrows away as fast as I rolled em up. Finally Henry drove the baler pickup (24T pulled by 720 tricycle) right behind my rakes discharge and followed me around the field and we "got er done" I drove a steady speed (520 in 4th gear at dead idle) and listened to his exhaust n we kept right together, him just knowing which way I was turning according to the field and experience from lots of work together. Nuttin much sweeter then the slow n steady pop pop pop pop from a two banger. John T (Old fart I reckon)
