I went back out after lunch to shovel the porch off to the sidewalk and went down to the corner to see if USPS was delivering, but they weren't yet. As I said the cousin came down from the farm and plowed out the corner mail boxes and dad's driveway. The owner of the used car dealership in our old Case dealership buildings showed up about 2:00 to try and plow out. He left his plow truck by the road and it was plowed in by town plow. He went out back to fire up his Case 580CK and blew up it's battery with a JUMP-START. Put in new bat and finally started it with ether. It was running like sh1t and think he did it in with the ether, as it was skipping and blowing tons of smoke. I told him to pull the air cleaner and make sure it hadn't blown full of snow. He shut it off, and checked it and it was OK, he said!! Went to start it back up. No crank. He went to looking and strap between solenoid and starter burned off. He went and got jumper cables and hooked one leg from solenoid to starter, lots of sparks, but no go, so there that sets in the snow bank with his plow truck. These guys might be wizzes at repairing cars, but have no common sense about plowing snow, or operating a backhoe. The snow has started coming down again. Lake Effects from the west now, and weather watchers are saying another 6" here tonight. Mother nature always seams to balance thing out every year. Loren

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
