Went to a funeral today

Funerals and auctions are about the only way to see people anymore.  Guy who passed, Chuck Waneka, was 97, had moved into an assisted living place last year, called it "Four walls".  If he could get a ride to his farm, he'd use his walker to get to his tractor (green ones), hang his walker on the front weights, work his way around to the cab and climb in.  He would run all day, or until somebody came to get him.  Slowed down this summer but still was there for the wheat harvest, his 85th, as his dad passed when he was 7 and he did a lot of work on the farm, started driving to school when he was 10, school was only a mile away, through town.  After the church service they loaded him up on a trailer behind his 4430 and the hired man drove him through town (Lafayette, CO), past his farm back to the cemetery.  Told a couple younger friends of mine to just dump my ashes in one of those broadcast seeders and spread me across my fields.  Guess I won't know if they do that or not....

Thanks for posting that John and I agree with you the spreader idea is a good one.
