I was in your shoes Phillip. I cant remember a day going by where Dad wasnt on my tail about something,,,,,,,,,,,
My favorite was,,,,,, where was the wrench he was using just 10 minutes before,,,, help him search for an hour, only for it to be in his hip pocket. I would catch all sorts of grief till that wrench was found!! Soon, first place I looked was his pockets,,,,,,,
Found it everytime, day went faster,,,,,, LOL!
Yeah, there will be dimentia, there will be days he wont know who ya are. Dad, he was to his sences till the last day.
The last thing he told me was how to prime the well pump when the power went out,,,,,,,,,, I thanked him, fixed the water 10 minutes later, he fell asleep before I got back in,,, that was the last time I talked to my dad, he passed on later that night.
If he is out there workin,,,, go on back out and spend time with him, together.
We had lots of great times, and our share of bad times. It takes time to heal, Im still stung by my dad's passing, but each and every time I fire up his old 3020 JD, I know he is looking down listening to that JD,,, that we went to pick up on my Birthday in 2007, restored it, he got to pull it twice.
Fast forward,,,,, I took that same JD to the last pull he competed in,,,,,, deadweight pull it was.
I know that sled was stuck in the same place,,, my dad could not move it from the year before,, I backed that 3020 in, and we gave it all it had. We pulled it!! We pulled the load that no body could for a while,,,, but the load stopped us,,,, but it sure was fun to look over at Mom to watch her, watch me do what her husband loved to do for so many years before. We all felt closer to something that night. Wait till next year,,,, LOL!
I belive that all dad's love thier kids. Sometimes, we forget.

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
