    Back then (late 80's) we owned 400 (250 workable) and rented probably another 400. We were milking 150-200 in a double 6 parlor. Now we own ~800 (600 workable) and rent another 600. Hay, soybeans, wheat, buckwheat, peas, oats, corn. All organic.

    Nice. Haven looked on a map yet but you're probably within 2 hours of me.

    Not sure why I thought you were up Sudbury way. Are you in The Big Smoke?

    Isn't that the stuff that stinks to high heaven? But did a pretty good job. Do they still make it?

    There is a hand cream that comes in a white tube, called "Crack Cream." It is specifically designed for dried out cracked hands.
    I worked with a guy who was gay. He walked in and saw that and immediately got the wrong idea...Think I'll just leave it at that.:biggrin_2559:

    Couple of coats of white wash, it'll be like new. Is Tom Sawyer around?;)

    For cryin' out loud, we're all over the place here, lighthouses have little, if anything, to do with old trucks. However, since we're here, lighthouses fascinate me. I've visited a few in the UP ( der hey) of Michigan.( I think there's a half a dozen) Fascinating lives these people lived. You think trucking was a lonely job. One in Eagle Harbor is still used, and open for tours. Pretty sure GPS put most of them out of order, like the one you show.
