Setting on the edge of the bed getting dressed and ready to hit the road. From Central MO. to Osceola Arkansas. Crop ins. agent training. Next day I was standing in a cotton field in Arkansas and just staring at the sky in disbelief. We were not that far from Memphis, and the lack of jet contrails or aircraft noise was unreal. Bright blue sky, huge, flat fields and from horizon to horizon not a plane in the sky.
We took a break on 9-11, from the meeting, cause one of the agents wives came in and said that if you wanted gas you had better get in line across the street. Price had already gone up thrity or forty cents and folks were lining up. I went and filled the company truck, and the other folks rental car.
The trainers had flown to Little Rock from Manhattan Kansas. So when we were done, I had to follow them to Little Rock. Car rental agency would not let them have a rental car over the phone. Too many people reserving them "just in case". I didint know how I was gonna squeeze 4 other people and their luggage in a Dodge Dakota and drive all that way, but that was our only option. It was 4 door.
When we got to Little Rock they let them have a rental to go back to Manhattan. Once they were there in person.
By then it was dark and late, but I headed to Central MO.
Dang what an ordeal.
But not near as bad as those folks that had to jump out of the trade center buildings.
I still dont have much use for the race/religion of people that did this to us. That is just me being narrow minded I guess.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
