We had to replace one of the entry doors on the house at the farm. House is 40 yrs old. Measure door, drive to Home Depot, find nice steel door that's the same size. 1 1/2 hrs later get back to farm. Pull off old door, set new door in. Old hinges won't work for new door. Take new door down, put old door back up. Measure core in order to find hinges that will work. Can't find hinges that will work in E. Tx. Put old door back up and wait until we can look for hinges in Dallas. Finally get new hinges. Next week end, take down old door. New hinges not shaped the same, so carefully carve out facing so new hinges fit. Paint new door. Takes both of us to install the door. New knob doesn't line up. Out of time for that w/e. So put old door back up again. Next w/e pull down old door and fix throw so tongue on new knob lines up. Out of time for that w/e. Next weekend. Start installing deadbolt. Too much gap between door and facing. Measure facing. Drive to town. Go to every place that sells door hardware, molding, etc. Facing has changed in 40 yrs. After a couple of hours, finally find something I can make work. Out of time again. Next weekend, get new facing up and start drilling out door facing for deadbolt. Guess what, there's a finishing nail right in the way. Next problem - how to get the finishing nail out. Go get nippers from shop and needle nose pliers. Cut finishing nail, then twist out with needle nose pliers. Finish drilling out hole for dead bolt. Out of time, etc, etc. etc. It took about six weeks to finally get the new door hung and all hardware, etc. installed and working. Now I just have two more doors to go. Not looking forward to it.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
