Well It's been near two weeks since things have warmed up enough for sap to run. A good thing I guess, as both my uncle and myself have had to spend time in the hospital during the period. He with a form of gout that caused his left arm to swell up and they had to lance it from the middle of his fore finger to close to his elbo. Me , I had another stroke 3rd. I got the doctors baffeled a bit because after all the tests they did, my body is in great shape as far as my heart, veins etc.are conserned. I went to another hospital this time to perhaps get a different opinion.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
