In Reply to: Old ads. It's a wonder we're still alive. posted by Fatjay on January 27, 2017 at 18:45:43:

The farmer I worked for as a kid in the 60 used to go down the road to the guy who sold dynamite and buy a few sticks for projects around the farm. I drilled by hand a
few holes in rocks from time to time and he would blow them. One time he wanted to get rid of a concrete retaining wall on each side of the drive into his walk out
basement and we blew that with carefully placed 1/4 stick charges one at a time some almost in his basement. The story goes that one time, It was maybe in the late 50 or
early 60 he or his father found a case of dynamite in one of the farm buildings that had become old and runny- unstable and he decided to take it out in a field and blow
it up. I still have the clippings from a couple of newspapers about the "mystery blast" that shook windows in a couple of nearby towns. The clippings discuss whether it
could have been a sonic boom from military planes from the nearby Quonset Naval Air Station, or other causes, never coming to a conclusion. This story wasn't told much
for a long time. I think my family was away on vacation at the time. A couple of years after this took place I started working at the farm and didn't hear of this for a
few years still, and was still cautioned to stay quiet about it, he was afraid of legal issues from the authorities. This farmer is no longer living and the farm is no
longer. Bought out by Met Life ins. for their New England headquarters.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
