Road rage! After spending many years and miles on the road being a commercial tourest you get to see a lot . and one thing i have learned is that you can READ a driver by how the set behind the wheel , type of vehicle that they drive and just what they will do . And no i have not seen it all . But you have to never let up your guard . Hauling big heavy oversized loads being wide high and long driveing a truck that has way more horse power then 99% of the rest that are on the roads you get to see lots of idiots . I have been passed on the right i have been pulled out on and had that person who jumped out in front of you go up the road a half mile and come to a dead stop to turn left when he or she could have waited ten seconds for you to pass with no one behind you . And my favort of all times is the idot frieght box driver running a castrated 63 MPH truck that just has to pass you on the down grade then darn near take off the ft. marker flag on my bumper and then just stay there , this left me blind to what was coming up ahaed of me then when the next long pull he can not hold his 63 MPH and i have to go out around him because i can hold my speed . as i could pull the mountains faster then i liked going down them , then here he comes again running Gerogea over drive and riding his brakes hard to make the curves while i set back and let the jake do it's job . The other pet peeve i have with drivers today is out at the farm , One farm is about a mile down the road from the other on a state route that has a couple hills and a couple BLIND CURVES with double yellow lines . All the tractors have the fance yellow blinky lites and all lites work on ALL our tractors and equipment along with nice BRIGHT SMV signs . Coming from Vernon's place north up to Eugene's place you are headed north and as you come up on Eugene's lane you are on a long BLIND curve to the left with trees on both sides of the road that do not allow for much distance to see what is coming south . I always signal BY HAND left turn and watch behind me and there is always one that will pull out around the line of traffic and try and pass when you try and turn in the lane and this is on a hill that oncoming traffic that pop over the hill come on fast . I had the 1066 and plow with one dual on the land side on the tractor one day coming up the road and had five cars and a semi behind me and i was running as fast as the 1066 would go , as i came up on the lane i signaled my intent and even stood up so everyone could see my signal , i sat down and backed off the throttle and started my turn and was all the way across the center line when out of nowhere came this Buick headed north he went down behind the mail box on the sloped grass beam up over the drive apron back down the grass bearm and back up on to the road just about 150 feet from the top of the hill and bad curve to the left giving me the finger . All i can say on that one is that man should have been glad that i was on the 1066 and NOt the 806 as i always carry a rifle on it and i would have shot him or atleast put a hole thru his back window. And just when YOU THINK you have seen it all someone will do something even dumber.

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
