I hear antique tractor and equipment collectors pineing for the 'good old day' sometimes at shows and on lists such as this so fellas and gals you might just be getting your wish the way things are headed.It was a simpler time because it was a time when we all had a lot less money to burn.In 1960 for instance we had 1 TV that worked about half the time 1 1950 Ford car,1 1949 Ford pick up, we rarely went to the nearest town about 15 miles away,we worked a 2 acre garden with a horse,we milked by hand 10 to 15 cows,we fed out around 200 to 300 hogs,with a neighbor used to pick up hog feed off a rail car,no health insurance,we put in 12 to 15 hr days depending on the time of year,also cut wood with a buck saw and axe loaded it on a wagon and used a cut off saw to cut it up.And we were better off than most folks in our community.So if energy prices are getting to you dump the gas guzzling SUV and 4WD,turn off the cable/dish network,sell the computer,plant a garden and work it with a small tiller,can your food,stay home except when you're at work,quit eating out,going to ballgames,concerts and the like.Enjoy the "Good Ole Days".
