Paul:

Yup, I agree with what you and Hugh have said.....

Most of the people from the US I meet are decent, sincere, honest and upstanding people - hey they could be Canadians :-)....! And most of them are either family, or friends I haven't met yet...

My Better Half says that sometimes my perspective on things is heavily coloured, and I do agree. I have strong feelings on respect, dignity, freedom to practice my religion, my trades, my culture and to have freedom of speech. I value all of these highly. I was raised to be proud of who I am, to know who I am and to be a strong citizen.

I know my history. A brillian man once said: To know where we are going, we must know where we are and where we have been. He was a very smart man....

I am proud that I am Canadian and proud that I am a North American. I am proud that I am both of French and German descent and as the son of an immigrant, I value the freedoms and rights that we have in our nations, and I understand my responsibilities as a citizen. I would willingly put my life on the line to protect what we have. And I have - I served almost 11 years doing exactly that.

Now with all of that said.....

As for tractors - this has become probably my favourite passtime in the past 3 years. I have always loved to garden and to enjoy the fruits of our family's labours at harvest time. I just could no longer do it by hand. Needed a tractor.

My wife's uncle across the street has a 51 Cub. Fell in love with it back in 82, been longing for one ever since. in 2003 I got Ellie-Mae my 48 Cub. Then I got Jethro my 51 (he is really abused and needs a lot of TLC) and last fall before my bypass operation I got Granny my 47. Still looking for Jed.

I also have a Cub-193 Molboard Plow, Cub-189 Two Way Molboard Plow, Cub-22 Sickle Mower, McCormick-Deering Leveling and Grader Blade, Cub-144 Cultivator, IH C-2 Belly Mower, a M-H #2 (I think it is) Potato Digger (2 of em), an IH Horse-drawn Spring Tooth Harrow, and IH Horse-drawn Disc Harrow which is being modified to be used with Ellie, a home brew Snow Plow Blade, a custom built Loggin Wagon, custom built Horse Hoe (hiller), and a bunch of other stuff to play with. I am awaiting delivery of my McCormick 100 Manure Spreader. This will probably be the last piece of Cub related equipment that I buy. I still have a 5 gang belly mounted reel mower that I am building as well as improvements to my Electrolysis tanks.....

And if I don't have enough to do, I created the Cub Manual Server (www.cleancomputes.com/Cub/index.html) to keep me busy when I am not busy with restores or doing the honey do list....

I love me Cubs.....

Guys, thanks btw, sometimes I need to vent and you allowed me that privilege. Thanks.
