It was my high school days, I had baled hay for farmers and my mom would take jobs on the phone while i was gone baling. I had one Particular farmer that took a liking to me (yeah you Phil)and he offered me work at his farm instead of all the baling. He had 2 tractors a Massey F 175 with a loader , and the one i fell in love with a older John Deere 4020, It was on this John Deere, that he had instructed me to spread , "honey" on the fields, with a quite large honey wagon. In the instructions, he made a statement something aout makning sure that i kept the wind to my face! As all who read these memories you can attest to the fact you just can"t tell a high school aged kid anything he doesn"t already know, and if it"s not about a girl , the attention span on any instructons are very short. WELL, i was very proud of how i was handling that 4020 and the fan of "honey" from the back of the tanker , was perfect, i was near the end of the field, and had to slow to go to another row to return to the other end of the field.It was at that point I dscovered the meaning of "keep the wind at my face," that perfect fan of "honey" was now even with the tractor, and in less time than it took to open my mouth in disbelief, i found myself "painted" if you would, with the same "honey", that i had in my mouth, from dropping my jaw as i seen it coming. On my return Phil, seen me and , well not much had to e said, he knew , and I was totally covered with "proof" of the lack of attention, when it came to paying attention to instructions.
I"m 46 years old now , and go to shows with 2 antique tractors, and love to use them in plow days and the like. Those days on the farm were some of the best days of my life, with many memories to this day. Thanks Phil, and Carol
