Who's gonna help move Hugh?

Now that Richmond grease feast does sound a bit exciting, particularly if you round up Jimmy, Paul, The Brown Dirt Cowboy and Hal. By the way, has Hal come up for air yet? I'll have to sit down write him an e mail one of these days.

I'm getting a neighbor in two days before with his Chevy and 32' goose neck trailer for the equipment and attachments. I've got most of that either on pallets or vegetable pallet bins. We'll load all that plus the implements with his front end loader. We have guy across the road to unload, both guys have pallet forks for their farm tractor loaders.

Driving the tractors, so should have all the bases covered. Worst part now is needing something already packed. I needed 4, 1/4"x1" bolts yesterday. I knew where they were, coffee can in the bottom of one of those 3.5'x4'x3' deep vegetable bins. Luckily I was right first time, however as days go on in the next two weeks, my memory may not be as good.

The tractors will be driven, thus we seem to have a request from a 35 year old daughter in law wanting to do the tractor driving. In the earlier thread (Bob M on kids tractor show) I told how I expressed to this young lady, she may have competition from a 16 month old nephew who's first word is tracker. He is here this weekend, and what everyone was hearing as tracker is now coming out clearly as tractor. Just a few minutes ago, I was bringing up photos from the YT gallery, no question he finds the red ones most exciting. While in here he also spotted my collection of 1/16 toys, however every chance he gets, it's outside to the real thing. You tell me how a 35 year old lady fights that off. I'm afraid we'll have to find room for his car seat on tractor, then he can drive alongside young lady. Heck, I cant even intice the older ladies to go for a tractor ride with me.

The new neighbor is into old iron, goes to auctions, buys but never sells, much like myself. The new neighbor hood has concerns that may create the largest tractor salvage yard in SW Ontario. Since we're 65 and 66 respectively, just think what a salvage gold mine dispersal auction that may create when we croak.

i'll be chuckling about that all afternoon. :)
and hopefully that won't be an issue for a long time anyway.

What got me to chuckle, though, is this talk of "old neighbor" and "new neighbor" with a move of 7 whole miles! Heck, in this neck of the woods, most of those I refer to as "neighbors" are MUCH farther than 7 miles away! Closest neighbor is at least 4 miles from my doorstep as the crow flies, close to 10 if ya go around on the road!

On the subject "Eh", that one is quite geographic, mostly Toronto, of course those guys have enough numbers they taint the pack. I never hear that down here in the south west, never used to hear it in centeral Nova Scotia. I know Cape Bretoners are quite big on Eh. But then I get a kick out of that lady at US Customs using "STAP" for the word I always spelled "STOP".

You have a good season in the UP, Eh.
