All right you guys, Okay given, I am at my happiest when I'm out on one of these old tractors and makin' 'em grunt, smelling the diesel, when I’m outside smelling the earth. Watchin’ the crops jump outta the ground and pittin’ my skills against the odds of nature to make it so. I just like the smell of hay and I like the smell of silage. Wife's the same way. She wants her Herefords and she wants her chickens. She wants the peace and solitude of the country life once again. She wants the mailman to come to her instead of the other way around. She wants to fix up an old country house and she wants to get her hands back on a farm. But, all of you know full well that I'm an old guy; I'll be 60 in two months and we have this stupid, unrealistic, harebrained idea of buying a farm, all the needed equipment it takes to run it and all the headaches that go with such a ding-dong venture. This is no small undertaking even for a young stud, let alone some old geezers like the wife and I, who are all settled in life and are just idling along doin' our simple little thing. Not one of you has come forward to tell us how absolutely idiotic and crazy this notion is. No one has said what a wild and impractical idea it is that we are contemplating. None of you have said that we are throwing our money away. Before I write this check, am I on the right road, or do I need to go somewhere quiet where I can sleep this stupidity off? :>( Allan

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.
