Remember when a new or new to the farm piece of machinery was delivered to the farm? It was like Christmas. Dad would tell us boys that a new piece of equipment was coming today. When ever he said that, chores seemed not to take long. My brother and I watched the truck drive in the yard with much excitement. The driver would ask Dad where do you want it? Then the driver would flip the chain binders (chain binders were something new to us) and put them in his under bed tool box along with the chains. Then more magic, he would operate the tilt bed and slowly reverse the winch as the implement rolled down the truck bed. During this whole process, the drive warned us to stand back but it was hard for us boys because we had a new toy to explore and operate. Then finally, it was on the ground. My brother and I wasted no time and immediately checked it out. If it had levers, one of us would wiggle the lever from the operating platform and the other would be underneath to see what it operated. If it had a motor, we started it and took it for a test drive. Then we would search for all the grease zerks because we knew that greasing the machinery was one of our jobs. Sometimes I think we knew more about the machine than Dad did after only a few hours of it being on the farm.

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
