What's with the saxophone, anyway?

Apparently there's no law against saxing while driving.

Healey, I was kinda concerned there for just a nanosecond....the first thing that I saw as that image scrolled into view was the top of that porta-potty!

...that photo reminds me of a very fine memory I have of attending a "Tractor-pull" in the Lancaster area of Pennsylvania, which Hev and the Dirt invited me to, also, in the company of Mitch and TonyH, all of them a salt-of-the-Earth man.

I suspected those days would not last, so I took advantage of the opportunity as soon as I could. It was vey good. And it did not last long. (Does anything?)

4th one in from the left looks like Cub did about 70 years ago.

Yeah, the one that had the engine and drive offset slightly to the left side (or right side, can't remember which). A cousin of mine bought one of those for less than a hundred bucks back around 1985, rebuilt it, and used it to mow his pasture and lawn for about twenty years. That was nice little tractor.

Left side. Mine was my grandfather's and I have the engine rebuilt a decade plus back. Mine also needs to be taken down to the raw metal and back up as it looks its 70 years. Does run very nicely and is a good size to get up into the woods to drag logs...

...even with masks, there are not supposed to be any crowds.

Yes. There are many things that are not supposed to be....

First hay-cutting of the season is in the barn around here. Did a lot of it when I was a kid, still help out occasionally when called upon. The back ain't what it used to be.
