Posted by JMS/.MN on January 06, 2014 at 00:29:09 from (209.237.125.241):

2:30 AM...70 years ago..I showed up in the front seat of a Model T Ford, in front of the house near Belgrade, MN. Always a bit impetuous, couldn"t make it to the "hospital" a mile and a half away. Heard it wasn"t as cold as it is now in Central MN.

Life has been a ride... done a lot of stuff others wouldn"t. Dad was disabled when I was in HS, stayed home for 3 years. Was an Army Green Beret, paratrooper in the mid 60s, worked my way thru college and finished in less than 4 years.

We started farming from scratch with all borrowed money. Still here, 41 years later. (Much) better half of over 43 years and I are blessed with 6 successful kids, two Veterans, one still serving, just re-upped for three years. 12 Grandkids, twins due in March.

Growing up in this Country....the best in the history of Mankind...despite it"s foibles. And so many wonderful people in the community that I was raised n, then this one that has been our home for 41 years, plus the internet community of tractor friends. (On both sides of the ponds and borders! Yes, it"s been a good ride! Just checked the clock- it"s 2:27.... got 3 minutes to head down the slide! Time to get birthed!!!

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli ... [Read Article]
