Thanks Larry for sharing the story of Hugo it was very interesting. When I was younger, some 60 years ago, we had several farmers in the area like Hugo and I like you found them very interesting. I was probably more impressed by the ladies who farmed alone. Around here we had 4 that come to mind back then. Most of them were foreign born, Czechoslovakian, Italian or Scandinavian. Most of them had smaller farms and milked a few cows and did all the work by themselves. One I remember and used to visit often, milked about 10 cows and also had a large herd of beef cattle a couple teams of horses and a riding horse. Even when she was over 80 years old she still could ride a horse bareback. All of these ladies would go to town once a week to buy groceries and other things they needed. Another thing that always amazed me was that all of these women were small in stature but were still able to work like a man. When I was a youngster and started driving I always enjoyed going to visit them and help them with whatever they were doing at the time. Most of their places were not neat but they all took good care of their animals. Nowadays they're all gone and I can't name one man or woman living alone and still farming. I guess those days have passed and I miss it. It was always an education to visit and talk with these old-timers when I was a kid.

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
