Nice sound to wake up to ( 1st attempt at photos t

Since before I was around, Lenny has been farming this area, he's been turning our soil for over 40 years, I'll bet he's got close to 60 years in now since he was youngster, I've always enjoyed seeing this every spring.

I've seen this field with corn, wheat, oats, alfalfa, it's first field I ever baled,think I was 11 with a Ford 4000 S-0-S and 532 baler, took my first whitetail here, saw it burn 21 years ago, many turtles have laid there eggs here, ( I sometimes take a clutch and raise them ), all kinds of history for me here. Early Saturday morning his son came out with the discs and went over the corn stubble, and Lenny hit it with the 5 bottom which that former Saratoga raceway (late model 7420 JD used for dragging) pulled like nothing, he recently sold some acreage, got rid of his heifers, decided to buy a late model to enjoy doing what he's been doing for years. I thought it was time for some shots for the record, perfect morning for field work, cool crisp still spring air, the diesel fumes lingered for awhile. Lets see if I can do this the first time out, I'll post a few more.

In the summer, when the lines hang lower due to higher temperatures, I am very careful how I cross under with the D7 crawler, always right up next to the tower where the line is the highest. I can't imagine you would know what hit you with the voltage involved here. I've been after them to raise up the section, one line has a patch in it and a bullet notch out of it between the patches. I noticed during hunting season I can get a blue spark, to span from my rifle's trigger guard to my thumb, I'm going to ask the linemen tomorrow what the voltage is, aint nothin to fool with. I've got a clover patch right under the lines, dread mowing under them. The red and white tower is on a mountain little farther away, it's local television station, that never bothere me, gets hit by lightening quite often in the summer.

Further away

Another

I've been sick for a solid week and while normally up at an early hour, I heard the sound of discs rattling against the round rocks Saturday morning, mostly glacial till here, nearby areas have a lot of gravel deposits, this is a bottom field in a valley, I've never seen a bad crop come off it, even in the driest of years.

The photo posting thing seems easy enough, I resized them to 640 x 480 on my pc, got them down to an 200-250 kb file size, then uploaded to the free hosting site, which via dial up is really kind of slow, then just copy pasted the url below, which is simple, just have to figure out how to set the commands to string a few in one post now. Figured someone might enjoy a few from this end of the woods.
