I remember our Dad planting with the end-pull Cyclo 8x30 planter, lighting a cigarette as he climbed off the tractor to check the seed depth, taking a couple of drags on the cigarette while he kicked the soil and getting back on the tractor to keep on planting. And then being PO'd when Grandpa found some seeds on the surface>>our Dad had a thing about not decreasing enough the air on the planter to keep from blowing some seeds out!! Memories from 50 years ago! Larry

Yep the memories just keep coming back ---some I tried to forget
Remember Dad dipping a foxtail head in the Gas Farmall M fuel tank --pulling off a plug wire to get a spark to light gasoline then light a Winston cig
We're both still here and above ground :-)
Somewhat think I've overused my "luck"
