Generally I don't talk to folks I know about my affliction, and hope that they don't notice, but Uncle Ernie, and jdemarias, seem to also be affected, with the Cheap's, even worse cases, than mine! I have been working for the Boeing Co., for 28 yr's, and could have the nice vehicles, and tractors that I see around me, owned by my co-workers, I have been blessed with a good job, and good benifits, and after two layoffs in said period, have came to the conclusion that I either owe it to the good lord, or some great luck, it sure wasn't cause I was smart!The first 45 yr's of my life we were pretty poor, but thought that was the normal way of things. Now I just can't see buying something to drive, that I can't work on. To each his own, and I don't want to start a brand argument, but I have always had good luck with Dodge and ford cars& trucks, so that is what I have, and I don;t usually buy anything with a computer control in it, because I cant fix it. That has kept me in the 1970's and 80's. I have a 75 Dodge for my 3/4 ton flatbed (very handy on a small farm)and an 80 dodge short bed pu. for my commuter, and all around use. I have a 75 Ford LN 800, for my large dump use, and heavy equipment hauler. All of these vehicles I have had for many years, and keep maintained, to where they are always ready to go, and would trust any one of them to go back to the midwest, and bring home machinery. I did get tempted, at an auction in eastern washington last spring, and bought the wife, a plymouth sundance that I can't work on the ignition aspect, of it, but it was a low mileage (90 thou) 1994 car with all the records, maintained by a county rd. dept, and only $600. There is a lot to be said for doing it yourself! EXCEPT at 70 yr's it is a little harder to remove a heater, or work under a dashbord.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
