Last Saturday The wife and I joined in on the 8th Annual Culpepper Va. tractor ride. I have not missed on yet. For the first time we got wet, although it was still a better day than working Then the sun came back out and with temperatures in the upper 80s we all dried out fast. There were all colors on the ride and everyone had a good timeThe one tractor that didn't make it was FoundOnRoadDead.  Maybe the tractor was rebelling for being painted that way.  We stopped for a nice lunch and then we hit the road again, and got rained on again. This time we were very close to one of the members on the rides place and we all turn in to get out of the rain. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

 Even at a idle that's going to be a lot fuel  now to the end of Oct. But I admire the purring of a tractor sometimes myself. |
