WARNING!!! The following story is true, I might have to embellish a little where I don't remember it exactly like my Dad told it, but here goes. Dec. 24, 1951. My mother was due to have her 2nd child anytime. Late Christmas Eve, she started having labor pains. My Dad picked up the phone to call the Dr. Remember party lines? When he tried to ring the Dr., everyone on the party line picked up the phone to see what was going on. He said, I have to call the DR, everyone hang up and I'll have Nola ( my mother's mother)call you all and fill you in. He said the slamming of the receivers nearly deafened him. He called the hospital and told them Mom was in labor. They said they would call the Dr. and hoped he could get to the hospital.It was snowing pretty good but Dad was prepared, he had put the chains on the Plymouth just in case. They started off in the snowstorm, stopped at Mom's parents and left my 3 year old brother off and headed to town to the hospital. They arrived safely only to find out the DR. couldn't get to the hospital because of the storm. Dad said, call him up and tell him I have chains on the Plymouth, I'll come and get him. So, Dad left Mom at the hospital and drove thru the snow to the DR's. house and brought him to the hospital in time to deliver a healthy baby boy. Dad called Mom's parents and told them they had another grandson. Grandma woke up my brother to tell him he had a new baby brother and all he said was " Did I get my John Deere tractor?" So now you know the story of how I came into this world 62 years ago tonite. So, to all of you born on Christmas or close to it, I wish you a Happy Birthday. To everyone else, I wish you a Merry Christmas. Chris

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
