My friend and neighbor is getting up there in age, 90 I think now. Retired from farming about 10 years ago. Still cut his own firewood until 5 or so years ago. Every once in a while I would get a call from him needing help with something or find him waiting for me in the driveway when I got home from work.
In the spring he would sit in the porch watching other farmers in the field and get the bug. Id come home to find out he cant get the plow hooked up and needs a hand. Next day he cant get the plow to raise to get it out of the field. Next day he cant get it unhooked from the tractor and has it all kitty wampus in the shed. His mind worked fine but his body didnt listen to it. Not growing up on a farm I would do what I could and learn a little from him every day. Now he lives with his daughter many miles away. Since he left we started farming our own land and I could use his advice quite often. Funny how that works sometimes.
