I used to date a girl in Yonkers that loves garlic, and anchovy white pizza.

The car ride home was always tough...

Some beautiful photography Joe.
All those barren trees look rather spooky though .. .. ..

Did not know you were a fellow (former) EMT/Firefighter
Been out of the game several years now. My ears still perk up
when I hear a distant siren ......

College kids today aren't all snowflakes. Here's my nephew helping work cattle. He's currently working on a masters degree in Farm and Ranch Management. He can (and will) do just about anything that needs to be done.

Agreed!
I,m still laughing at the term "snowflake".

Ken, that is great picture of your nephew. He looks very capable and he has a fine pony.

[Mumbleypeg]

Thank you. He's a fine young man and we are indeed proud of him!

Ken, he's a lot better looking than me. And a lot younger.

As for my avatar, I did look somewhat like that in my younger days. That is a character named Skeezix from the comic strip Gasoline Alley. When I was a young'un my granddad thought I looked like him, so he nicknamed me "Skeezix". The picture is from a 1928 book called Skeezix Out West.

I loved Gasoline Alley when it was in our local paper. Been gone for years.

I knew your avatar looked familiar, and I knew it was an old comic character, but I had never seen Skeezix in western garb before.

Harvest had been delayed due to the huge amount of rain we got in the last couple weeks. Dry now and back to putting up silage.

[peanut740]

Keith that is a BIG pile of silage!
On a much smaller scale is a shot of cutting soybeans last week.

[espn77]

It's amazing how big the equipment is these days. We have come a long way.

[treefarmer]

Keith, are those Florida calves in the feed lot? I saw a figure recently by Florida dept. of Agriculture that 35% of Florida's calves are sold to Texas operations.
That's a big pile and some high dollar tractors playin' on the pile.

I'll say.That combine I pictured is a 2007 JD 9560.It will hold around 350 bushels.Deere doesn't make anything that small anymore.

The ones in the picture aren't but I do have about 5000 in the yard from Florida. Good cattle. The tractor is a 9570R, and they aren't cheap.

Thought I'd post this, a great tribute! ftd

[americanedgetech]

Super cool.

[jerryd6818]

Very well done. Hard to believe he did all that with a chainsaw.

[Mumbleypeg]

On an even smaller scale. About done with haying here. I took this picture a couple weeks ago.

The old JD 4440 tractors are real workhorses. This one broke down but thankfully it was just a busted hydraulic hose.

Ken

[espn77]

Looks like you've taken good care of your 4440 Ken. Great tractors.

[Mumbleypeg]

They are for sure. Sometimes just a good cussin works wonders on them!

Yes sir, something to be said for equipment with no electronics. Things we can still work on.

[bighomer]

A good pair of mules and I'd be ready to holp yawl with the plowing.
