I sure enjoy parades, thanks for posting it. I like the green on the 77 best, kind of dark and rich. That's the problem when you're in it you do get to see it.

You got to admit that R looks pretty majestic.

When Dad was a young boy he was riding on a tractor fender like that and fell off, FORWARD!!!!

My Grandpa ran clear over Dad's head.

Good thing it was a freshly hilled potato field, Dad came up with a mouth and nose full of dirt and wet britches :shock:

Yes the R is pretty sweet. Did they have a pull Soapweed?

Bart, there are no potatoes grown here in thin black over tight clay. The results would have been different.
