Hey there Jim,
Gosh, I didn"t mean to offend. And I would never have used words like "idiot" or anything similar to describe you.

No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
