I am batching it for today and the last few days. Wife visiting family. Anyway that leaves me with too much time to think/ponder things. LOL
I have talked about how I started working before high school an was married during my Junior and Senior year. As for classes and learning I KNOW I did not miss out on much. I took all college prep classes and had a 3.5 GPA. Had 25 credits and only needed 15 to graduate. So that leaves social and activities. I have a few friends from school but not more than two I would call close. I did not do any of the sports and clubs activities. I really found the majority of my class mates to be so immature that I had little to nothing in common with them. I did not care who won a "game" the night before. Who was dating who meant nothing to me either.
So my question is...... Did I really miss out on all that much???
Socially I think MAYBE. I am not comfortable in large groups of people unless it is a business meeting/setting. An example is I have spoke in front of large groups of people (250-300) in a business setting and had no trouble. I have been to much smaller social gatherings and been extremely uncomfortable. So maybe just interacting with family when I was younger might have been a draw back.
Activities: Well I place little value on sports. I should say watching or just being fan. I do not understand how people can get so involved in these "games" that it rules large parts of their lives. The current college basketball tournament is a read example. I would be hard pressed to name more than two teams that are still in the thing. Now playing sports I can understand the enjoyment there. I liked playing basketball up until I was in my mid fifties. My knees just can't take the pounding anymore.
How does these things relate to my life today??? If I set down with a group of none farm men or women I find them difficult to talk to. I do not drink. I do not pay attention to sports. I have few hobbies that are not directly related to farming or working. So I guess I am a pretty boring fellow. LOL Sure not the life of a party.
When I see all the stuff the kids today do it is kind of mind boggling. They are busier than people that work for a living. This club/sport/group. They seem to be always running here and there.

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
