I don't really post here too often due to time and not really having much to say and honestly I am not old enough to qualify to comment at 45 but.... Dad is in his 70's and has had issues for several years and so I spend a lot of time out there taking care of the place, equipment, and assorted odds and ends. Since you sound like a bit like Dad as he has gone through several issues I hope you find these comments helpful to you. First I watched Dad go through the I used to do it and I should still be able to do it stage (and I truely believe it to be a stage) and honestly he drove me crazy with his worrying about things getting done and my time and so on. Second I enjoyed doing this stuff with my Dad growing up and still doing it even when I am by myself he is still there in a lot of ways so I continue to enjoy doing it even if things go wrong that drives me crazy. The crazy if the immediate situation which passes not the long term, that really has never bothered me and I'd be willing to bet you son as well. The brother didn't enjoy that aspect of life so much, however, he does other things for them that quite frankly I don't want to be bothered with. Lastly, it seems that after Dad got through his stage and found what he can do to help and accepted that things will get done as I can get to them life was better for everyone. Actually, Dad does a lot to help that even though he feels that it is minimal it is a huge help to me. The biggest thing is that since I work long days Dad will run errands for me to get things that my wife is not comfortable going after (tractor parts, auto parts, odd/ends, and so on) so I don't have to spend Sat. running around like an idiot to beat these places closing and wasting a day just to burn gas. The other big thing is that when I am working on a project that is going to take time and I have parts sitting around he cleans them up and sometimes paints them which honestly if I had to do it myself I would clean it up enough to get going again. The last comment I'll make is that no matter what he thinks he has never been a burden on me and I would rather have him in the shape he is in than to not have him at all. I hope you shake this quickly and get back to normal (if in fact there is such a thing).

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.
