Unfortunately, most of the Sushi we eat in this country is cooked (or smoked.) Items such as octopus, squid, shrimp and the like are all cooked, due to U.S. health regulations.

Japanese shrimp fishermen will peel a live shrimp and eat it. While over there once, I was asked if I wanted to try a live shrimp. I passed.

Anyway, I had a sweet 7 year old babe helping me get the tractor field-worthy, pulling the wrench to check the fluids, getting her hands all greasy helping me pull bolts to get a cover off one of the bull gears. Hey, never too young to teach a lady who wants to learn/help how to work a ratchet!
And this is a tractor before dipsticks were invented. The tranny has a 'level plug' on the side. Take 'er out, and add 90-wt until it starts coming out the hole. Same with the oil pan on the engine- two petcocks, one a half inch below the other. Add oil til it comes out the upper one. If oil comes out the bottom petcock, you still have enough!
Hev knows what I'm talking about.

I had a Case like that, a pre-war SC, one of the first 100 made, was destined for Britian in Lend-Lease, but somehow got mis-directed to the booming metropolis of Meyersdale Pa. Took me nearly a week to figure out how to check the oil levels.
Traded that one, (goofy hitch that attaces to NOTHING) on a Ferguseon TO-30 with a real 3 point hitch.
The case got restored by the new owner, I got to drive her in a tractor parade recently.
The Fergie still earns it's keep at Bob's Plantation and Duck Ranch
As for the Ant Hill eliminator, boy could I use that! Gots a marauding dog, keeps killing off ducklings and leaving the carcasses in the yard. I have a .556 Rem for that critter, I'm waiting for him to run into the front of the Ugly Black Rifle...

LMFAO, Hev!!!! Somehow I don't feel any cooler, but I certainly feel better!!!

And speakin' of seafood:

Without warning, the swordfish broke free from the hunt and turned on Ferrari, ramming its 5-foot bill into his right shoulder beneath the collarbone. The big fish flipped him around and then flung him away.

Hev, I'll call you tonight. I'm planning on coming down, but between the kids, our weird swing-shift schedules, and my capricious in-laws (re: need for kid-sitting), I can't yet pin down the day. For sure, it will be a day trip, and if I were a betting man, Airborne will want to tag along. He's a road warrior.
It sure sweetens the pot to know about the tractor flea market. I need a rear axle cover, and I'd love to find a belt pulley for the PTO. Be cool to add headlights, too. I don't need 'em, just want 'em!
Hev, you ever eat an octopus?

Pete, you were in my dream last night. I was at an outside party along a lake, and you were expected. As a joke, I told everyone you'd just been released from a maximum security prison and that you were a ruthless killer. You walked up and began dancing around acting silly and laughing. One of the party members turned to me and said, "He doesn't seem that tough to me." I replied, "They must have him on different meds."

Dreams, what're ya gonna do.

[ANG retired]

Ahhh, Kinzers, I had forgotten where, confused with Williams Grove.
I do mostly shows west of the Alleghenies, Stoystown Lions last weekend, Twin Bridge this weekend (used to live less that 3 miles for the showgrounds) Farmer's and Threashermen's in New Centerville, Penn's Cave, New Enterprise and such.

Gotta watch them silly smiley types.

They'll put you at ease, then stick a knife in your back for your donut.
