I gotta admit that driving my dads 8N when I could barley reach the pedals myself sure did help me out. I didn't have much trouble adjusting to automobiles when the time come and so far I have been accident free, but I did get to see some of the kids who lived in the village drive in the drivers education car in high school and saw why the brakes are installed on both sides of the car with good reason!. That experience is why farmers are the least likey of all the people to get in an accident according to statistics. Yes, there was a danger of the tractor possibly ending up bottom side up at the bottom of the hill, but then again, every time you get in your car and drive 50mph down the highway, think of how the cars in the opposing lane are also doing 50mph and a head on collision would be like a 100mph crash!, scary to think about all those things isn't it, but then 1 thing thats true about life is nobody makes it out alive, so you can stay at home and eat nothing but health food and not do anything "dangerous", and you will still die. I like that U.S military ad campaign that says "If someone were to write a book about your life, would anyone want to read it?". I'm not saying that I believe in living life like theres no tommorrow, but I do believe that life should be lived out alittle. I think we pretty much die when its our time and besides, that story was something that happened years and years ago, and the person wished to share it, same as I could come up with some stories about some stuff I did. If you really think about it, we all do things everyday that could potentially end our life, sometimes we don't even realize it.

One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
