The sun is shining in the sky, there's not a cloud in sight...it's stopped raining and it's a beautiful today;

Beautiful trip to my homeland...very emotional, very happy AND sad.....
I have always loved and been amazed by the Prairies and the Prairie people....and I respect them even more now......homesteading in the early 1800s and living in tents in -50 degF weather is $%^#ing insane.......Nike wouldn't have had a T-shirt with 'no fear' then....it would have read 'severe, gristly and unyielding ba$tards....beware'.....
I got to run some neat equipment......John Deere makes some serious $hit man....."The quality you deserve is not expensive---it's priceless"

Sad, but like you say it makes you respect what used to be....

Nope......rode jump seat in in though.....talk about a $350,000 video game.....a joystick with about 30 buttons on it, 4 video screens, iPod torqued up, and a 16 year old kid in his white socks running it and telling me how $$%^ing easy it was..... Originally Posted by fcs

Very Impressive....and humbling...Last edited by Doug Lockhart; 09-10-2011 at 03:07 PM.

That it does Evan....we went out too to the 'town cemetery' and there too was a family that lost two children at 15 and 16 months old.....buried beside their Mother that then died a few months after that.....probably of grief... Originally Posted by knave

Doreen is the 'ole girl' in the picture and is 84 or 85 I think....she's got pictures and stuff going back a hundred years. Her house was built in 1905 and she still lives in it......and yes it now has 'flush toilets'."The quality you deserve is not expensive---it's priceless"
