excellent words of advise, Katrina!!!! I bought my hubby a series of 3 little books back when we were newlyweds and they were just chock full of good little pieces of advise!! the first book was "don't squat with yer spurs on"...can't remember the other 3, but will try and locate them and will gladly share!! :wink:
 
Those were choice!! Especially like the eating old crow one as I've had some practise with that species :oops:
 
Thanks Big Muddy, But, the truth be known I spend more time over 148 horse power than 1horse power. Where I grewup any farming other than a garden, you where considered a farmer. Anymore it's okay to be a farmer.
