That's a picture of him next to his first fishing boat. He used to pull the big nets with it before he could afford to buy a real boat. Carved out of an old tree by hand. He could get up to 15 knots while dragging the nets.

Don't believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see. Myself I believe.

You must be ashamed!

You can edit that out and repost it. I won't tell.

Don't believe nothing you hear...but I was told he did it as a community service. Because back then no one wanted to work for the government.

I was 6 driving the tractor while my dad loaded hay, (square bales) it was low gear and all I really did was keep it pointed straight. We didn't have other options, when its time to bale you gotta get it done. Just like the other post, my older brother was 11 at the time and really couldn't be bothered with that type of work. I still dig his sorry can out of jams he gets into building and repairing stuff. Even when I left for collage and got a job, dad would call for help and I made sure I came a running.

Our place was so big we didn't need anybody to drive the tractor. Just get it going and start loading. It would run outta fuel before it got to the of the row. :hide:
