Of course, I couldn't resist dropping the name Marthasville for two reasons: Those in the know would figure out I was scooter shopping; and, to see if someone from Up North noticed. I'd say she did.<br /><br />It's a wee town now. I don't think it has a post office, but you can still tell it is a town.<br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-62282164769469194272012-07-05T21:19:28.706-05:002012-07-05T21:19:28.706-05:00Marthasville?Marthasville?Martha https://www.blogger.com/profile/02785787084073523841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-4246176429723393372012-07-05T08:50:09.547-05:002012-07-05T08:50:09.547-05:00I have my sister on a mission.

My Dad would do the plowing and heavy work with the tractor, but my Grandfather would use the horse team for the cultivating and anything else he could use them for. He died when I was eight years old. I remember the horses barely. And, how did the farmers do it before mechanization? In a very much slower, smaller, and more and labor intensive scale.<br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-76950385171438513732012-07-04T22:34:46.475-05:002012-07-04T22:34:46.475-05:00Circle blue

We went to a John Deere tractor museum and saw all the machinery on display, makes you wonder how they did it before mechanization.

Those memories are the best kinds.<br /><br />I enjoy the twisties at a nice easy pace. And the easy going gentle rolling puttering along twisties not the 'trying to race through 15 mph corners' kind of twisties.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-8309237606262867882012-07-03T22:51:17.933-05:002012-07-03T22:51:17.933-05:00We didn't run Deere's but a neighbor did. ...We didn't run Deere's but a neighbor did. And, it is difficult to not have a fondness for that unique sound they made. Farming is so different now. My Dad tells me of GPS guided planters and how the tractors drive themselves now.
