This is a long story but I will try to make it short. My real first name is Jim but when I first started reading and writing on YT, I tried to use my real name and had my own password but I kept getting rejected because the name was apparently already used. My grandson Pat was here for Thanksgiving and he heard me softly calling the computer all kinds of exotic names and he said I should use his first name and see what happened. Sure enough, Pat H. went through and so did my password which is his middle name. Then a little later, I used the handle Hoosierfan6 because I have been a life long Hoosier and IU Hoosier fan from birth. Two of my kids are also Hoosiers and in fact we say we have two mixed marriages because my daughter, a rabid IU fan who has her RN from there and is a nurse in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Methodist Hospital in Indy, is married to a Purdue engineer and my oldest son is a IU man now a banker and cattle farmer and is married to a Purdue pharmacist. Another son in Indy is a Boiler fan (where did I fail?) and several times we have gone to the Old Oaken Bucket football game and he wears his PU cap and I wear my IU cap and the crowd usually just grins at us. At one game at Bloomington he was all jacked up as PU was beating the slop out of us and I thought we might have to fight our way out of the stadium. He's a big burly fellow though (as all three of my boys are)and is an Indy police officer so I didn't worry too much. After all he didn't get the nickname from the kids of "Tackleberry" for nothing as he is always packing. My third son is a professional musician (drummer) who has played in southern rock bands all over the world, has appeared on CMT and TNN and is now living the life of a mountain man living in a log cabin he and I built in our woods. My CB handle is "Cannonball" in honor of my dad, grandpa, uncle and brother-in-law as dad was an engineer on the C&EI railroad running between Chicago and Evansville, IN. My grandpa was a machinist helper in the roundhouse at Oaklawn in Danville, IL, my brother-in-law was a boilermaker on the C&EI, and my uncle was a trainmaster on the Rock Island. I also worked during college on the C&EI and Norfolk and Western. I live in western Indiana near Lafayette where I'm constantly doing battle with my Boilermaker neighbors. The short story turned into a long one, but I enjoy YT and am now restoring a 1951 M and have a Super M both of which I intend to paint before winter.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. 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.
