I can relate!

That second picture speaks of how different the times were. Could not get the picture taken in everyday work clothes,put on your best.? Unless it was from Greenacres TV show and like Mr Douglas you have different suit for every job on the farm. But then again the first picture speaks of today. Siouxing for victory.?

1975. These were the type of pickups I grew up around and still like. I can't get used to the huge expensive heavy pickups they sell today.

Well, it's Saturday. The day before Father's Day. This was sinking on page 3, and I don't know one darn thing, other than these photos from Facebook. Starting with this ca. 1937 D-Model IH truck with the CocaCola six pack in the back. It must have been a parade truck for a bottling works in Grand Forks, North Dakota, judging from the "babes" in the six pack? Were Coke six pack 25 cents then? I remember still being able to buy a bottle of Coke for a nickel. I'm going to guess this IHC tractor pulling a plow is a 30-60 IHC Titan, and if I'm wrong, I have a friend in Minnesota who'll correct me! Here is an 8-16 IHC Mogul with a steering device (not GPS) pulling a four disk plow. Here are three men with a fairly new 10-20 Titan, similar to Roger's. He can explain the different shapes of rear fenders, if he wants to. Here's an 10-20 IHC Titan pulling a binder in a grain field. I posted a very similar photo of a 15-30 McCormick-Deering tractor turning a threshing machine a while back. It may have been this same photo with the guy drinking water (?) out of an old crock jug? I got this in a different place on Facebook and it could well be the same photo? The last photo is of a possible experimental or prototype IHC Farmall Regular with a front mounted cultivator. I call it that due to the "IHC" on the fuel tank. Gary?

With Dae around? Apparently pretty high, weird stuff happens to her lol.

What are the chances of that haha.

Ya know......that there snek has to eat too!!!!!!!!!!

Wife snapped this one, darned dogs wallowing down the rye.

I'm just putting a bunch of photos of D-Day, June 6,1944 on. I probably don't know any more about them than you do. Since that was 75 years ago today, I guess we weren't very old, Anson, were we? My wife was born 7 days later on the 13th. You all know I talk with photos. I actually wave my hands with my 1/4 Italian blood, but you guys can't see that. The aircraft markings for the invasion, so the Allies would recognize OUR planes, as shown on the P-38 Lightening. The Canadian forces going ashore. Neutralizing Nazi pillboxes and taking prisoners. There were 14,000 Allied deaths on 6 Jun 44. And I couldn't resist putting this last one on. This was the largest military invasion ever done. One last photo, from yesterday. A 97 year old Greatest Generation soldier who parachuted into Normandy on June 6th 1944, parachuted in again yesterday with some help. I don't know whether they jumped out of Miss Montana, the C-47 out of Missoula, Montana or not? She was in the sky yesterday and will be up there today. Gary?

I picked up this Rock Island 192 a while back for a spare. When I really need a vise my go-to is a post leg vise I have mounted to the floor. Made to beat on. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
