I wish I could use our powerwasher at the farm, but the farm that we rent has a line that runs 2 miles from a spring on the side of a mountain down to the farm. It was put in I believe around 1910 with cast iron pipe(I think). The pipe is slowly eroding away so there is tons of sediment that comes out and isn't good for a powerwasher. My landlord says he doesn't have the money(he's in his 60's) to drill a well and the line does work well, has lots of pressure, and is free. I really don't want him to think about drilling a well, the rent will go up:( I hate to let stuff set outside and see others let stuff out, especially tractors. Ours are always in a building, just the buildings, built in the 1930's are ruin down because my landlords father didn't put money back into the farm which is sad(You'll see what I mean if I take some pictures) so they have dirt floors and aren't the cleanest inside. I do let hay wagons sit out over night during the summer, as we unload them early in the morning. But everything else is in a shed. I often go crazy on the guy I farm with because he thinks he is going to leave the hay rake out overnight, but of course I put it in myself! Oh by the way, I live to the north of Gettysburg, near the town of Williamsport(where the Little League World Series is held). To be exact I live in the village of Nisbet just to the west. On the 560, I think they were one of the worst tractors IH ever built, well at least I think the gas versions are. It is actually my partners, I keep telling him to trade up for a 706 with a German Diesel, but so far it is a no go. He has talked about getting a 656 Hydro, which would please me. Boy, looks like I am getting alittle long winded, I guess time for me to depart my soap-box!

Chores - by Frank Young. The ceaseless passing of time! It is at once our friend and our enemy. It measures our progress and it makes us old. Like most features of our life, few things are all good or all bad, and most such judgments depend on our own perspective or viewpoint. In our particular hobby, we enjoy the nostalgic return to the days of our youth as we recreate many of the scenes that took place on the family farm that served as the stage for the first few acts of the play that is our live
