So yesterday morning I bent and twisted and grabbed for a ewe. Anyone over 40 knows what happened next- down in muck on my knees while waves of pain shot through my back. Hobbled up to the house and did my best not to puke from the pain. Of course 4 hours later the horses decide to take a stroll in the road, not that we get a lot of traffic, but still, they don't belong in the road. So I hobble out with my 10 and 11 year old and Mrs Bret to get them into another pasture. Meanwhile 27 year old daughter and my 4 year old granddaughter are sort of keeping the drafters in a meadow and out of the road. We halter a couple of the gang leaders and head down the road to the pasture. 11 yoa son stays with 4 yoa GD. We just get the horses in and I look up back up the road and see him and GD are walking to our house. Thank God he knew enough to keep to the shoulder because this little silver rocket car comes by them at about 60. This is on a lane and half road that most folks might do 45 on. Then he opens it up and heads for us. There's my house and barn on one side of the road and my neighbors right across from us at the crest of a small hill. My family is scattering and I see my neighbor from down the road the other direction pulling onto the road with his ATV with his 2yoa GS on it to come for their daily visit to the animals. All I can see is this clown wiping out one of my family or the neighbor and his GS. So I step out into the road more at the hill crest and this idiot doesn't even slow down. I yell as he passes and for some reason threw my hat at his car. Went right in the window. He slows and tosses the hat out and I'm screaming at him to come back and the little coward took off again. Probably just as well he did since I'm a hurt old guy that hasn't won a fight in a long time and he looked to be 18-20 and a lot more fit than I am. Oldest girl tells me it's another neighbor girls new boyfriend. He has another way to get to her house and he seems to be taking it now. I get along fine with those neighbors and don't want to bother them with this but will if it continues and I will certainly call the police if he doesn't get the message. What really gets me is the complete lack of common sense to say nothing of safe driving this kid displayed. At his age the car, a brand new sporty type thing, was surely paid for by mommy and daddy and that just makes it worse IMO. Where's his respect for his folks?
I'm just venting because I'm still so po'd. I've got a real long fuse and it's been years since I've been that enraged at something.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. 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
