I'm doing that more and more now. :( Sad story: A week or so before Christmas I was walking my vacant property and heard a small dog barking. Next door neighbor to my vacant property and a house I own abutting it was walking his dog right at the fence line. I had introduced myself to him over 10 years ago and had maybe (2) or (3) "how ya doing" waves from a distance over the years. Never really saw him outside much. Would not have recognized him if I passed him on the street. Anyway, I said Merry Christmas, walked over and we talked for about an hour. Learned a lot about him (retired civil servant), his wife, kids, etc. We really hit it off and he ended the conversation with "we've got to get together for a beer".
Day before Christmas Eve, neighbor on other side called and said "did you hear about ___ (the neighbor with the dog)? He died". I was shocked. Turns out he was walking his dog down his asphalt driveway last Monday night while his wife was out. I understand it was his usual routine. She came home and found him laying in the driveway in a pool of blood. Appears he slipped on some ice and hit his head on the short brick knee wall of a culvert on a creek that passes through our properties. Wife told the neighbor he was in perfect health. Can't stop living our lives but another reminder to be very careful especially as we get older. The simplest activities can prove deadly and most of us on this forum probably work with more machinery and tools than the average Joe.

Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
