My father, a farmer died in an accident when I was ten years-old. That sure upset my family's way of life. Although my mother worked, my father was the real...bread...winner. Oh, my mother worked very hard at her night time job and day time mother. But for as hard as my father worked pretty much around the clock, he was the real bread earner. Here one day, gone tomorrow really upsets the boat and in our case, the boat sank. We survived though. My mother for her part gets a Mother's Day card as well as a Father's Day card because when the chips were down was Mom and Dad. We children ALL pitched in though and the money went into a community pot. For the most part, we turned out OK, scrappers. No purebreds here and I'm proud of that. WE ALL worked for everything that we have and to this very day work to help each other. None of us are "it takes a village" kind of folks. We are FAMILY and FAMILY comes first, FAMILY takes care of FAMILY.
That all being said, we were known as fuffnecks. That was our reputation. We didn't go looking for trouble, but we have never backed down either. I used to joke that my mother started the bar fights that I always got the living snot beat out of me over. But I'll never forget one time the whole family getting kicked out of the bar when Mom slammed her beer mug down and yelled at the top of her lungs, "If they don't put the food in your mouth, the roof over your head, the money in your pocket, then feed the M-F's fish". Ah, the bar was pretty much almost about to close for the night anyway, the bartender was our friend, so asking us to leave for the night was no big deal. He'd done it before and he'd done it again. We were back many times after that. And you know what else? When someone that you don't know and have never seen before walks up to your family and says, "If I ever get into a bar fight I want this family on my side", that aint a bad thing.
Good look and remember, "If they don't put the food...".

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
