But these studio musicians aren't coming on a
tractor forum, of all places, knocking/bashing
amateur musicians that never asked for an opinion.
When someone like Lou acts like he's gods gift to
music and nobody else knows anything, talk is
cheap. He claims people are just looking for
compliments when they're just expressing their
interests with others. What was Lou doing posting
pictures of stuff he's done? I'm sure he would
have had pretty harsh words for anyone that told
him he was throwing money away fixing up his old
Oliver. He gets real defensive when I ask how much
it actually cost to fix it up. I wasn't knocking
him at all. He likes to tell people to restore old
machines when others warn it could cost a fortune.
Sometimes it is best to abandon a project because
it would cost a fortune. If you found a UDLX and
it would cost $50,000 to restore but be worth
$150,000, it would be worth restoring. Spending
$6000 on a tractor worth only $1500 when you're
done wouldn't be advisable unless it had
sentimental value. Advising others to restore but
not revealing the true costs and time involved in
your project isn't providing any assistance to
anyone with a similar project. Lou doesn't seem to
understand this logic and that is a big reason why
he takes such exception with me. As for him being
so critical of Allan and then Larry, I'm just
pointing out that it was uncalled for and out of
line. Nobody asked his opinion or forced him to
look at the post in the first place.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
