[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 884143, member: 3162"] Some of it is also just more of the signs of this time. When you were a kid you did not answer the cell phone in the pasture and no one had ever heard or seen a round bale; no real need for a front loader on a tractor so much. Some of it I miss, some of it I don't. I certainly don't like all the new terms for the same ole same things. Back then the work was much harder to do. No one had post hole augers when I was a kid. No T posts - I could go on and on. I cleared land without a tractor. There were times when all I had was an axe to cut trees and brush with. Drag brush and trees to the burn piles with a chain and the pick up. Busting limestone with a sledge to get posts in. Clearing land took forever. Now I got the hoe, the caterpillar, the tractors and it almost doesn't seem fair. Mostly I wish I could take back the mistakes I made. The starting completely over. Hated getting burned out too and seeing all those fence posts embers burning in the ground. Disheartening at its worse state. You live and learn. You go on. You do the best you can with what you have to work with. You start somewhere - and basically you never quit. [/QUOTE]
