We lived with mom near Grampa Kennedy's farm in Carmiecheal, CA till I was almost 5 then Grampa K bought 160 acres 5 miles out of the small town of Loomis, CA Loomis had about 350 permanent residents and one block of stores. There were 7 packing sheds for the fruit comming in from what was called The Loomis Basin and 13 bars. All the bars and all but one of the packing sheds had burned down by the time I was in high school. Fruit was slowly loosing it favor on the dinner table and most of the big farms were disappearing by the 70s . We had a million acres of nothing behind the farm so we had lots of places to go hunting and fishing. A river to swim in and more places to just goto where we all alone no houses or people just open space and that was just on our side of the river which we were not allowed to cross. I could for 10 miles in no time and not even get up a sweat all those hills and land to see just kept me in good shape. During the war WW-II Grampa milked about 25 Jersey cows and sold the cream which was picked up by the train in town every morning. He fed the milk mixed with dried cull fruit from the packing sheds to the hogs. Gramps would make us kids work until noon then we could do what ever we wanted to do the rest of the day. It was a great time we were so far out that the war was nothing to worry about. NonTV and only a few stations on the radio that were hard to here so we lived all to ourselves out there on the Ranch. I had three uncles in the war and grandma would worry about them but never around us kids they all came home after the war we were happy to see them. Well better let someone else tell his story. Walt

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
