Garden Tractors- Every couple of years I repost this picture of me at 15 years old on my doodlebug/tractor. It was this crazy old machine I loved so much and it kept me out of trouble for several years. I would cruise around the countryside with my cool hat looking for the farmers daughters , ha,ha,ha. Just kidding .
It was only a few weeks after I turned 16 I had my first car and sold this old machine to buy some chrome wheels for my car. It is still fun to think about this picture and remember all the hours of fun I had two tracking through the oil fields and plowing snow in the winter . It also had a cab for winter use. (:>) The cab wasn’t as fancy as my nice JD cab I have these days but it was so cool having a cab way back then. Deb tells me it looked more like a porta potty on wheels , ha,ha, ha Deb thought I looked like Bill Murrey LOL
Mack Truck Progress- Today I worked more on the trailer almost getting it done.
Snow Storm TONIGHT RIGHT NOW !!! The wind is blowing like crazy and the roads are snowcovered and slippery and I can hear cars spinning there wheels at the corner. So it could be a snowplow day tomorrow YIPPEE !!
Have a nice Thurs. !!
