    I’ve seen Casablanca and African Queen more times than I care to remember. Thank you, Mr. Allnut.

    They are probably drag racing at the track tonight right off that Holly Springs exit. Pretty good action. Right on Hwy 7, go about .6 of a mile to the race track on the left. Plenty of room for a truck. They are posting racing videos from today so they are definitely running.

    It's still there...we've never stopped.... That place got tour up in the last Hurricane.

    We do stop in Islamorada... Fishing capital of the world. You'd be amazed at the people that fish out of there. We was down in Key West a few years ago hanging with my cousin. He called Bobby Bare and he was fishing off Islamorada. George and Alan both have boats there.

    There is a former Pittsburgh stealer that has a bar and motel there......and I happen to be a stealer fan....

    We know a couple that live on the Gulf side...she raises parrots

    Can you tell we like the Keys...lol

    That's a long video; totally worth the watch.
    I was not aware of the situation farmers are facing with new pieces of equipment; I had figured it would be mostly emissions related. Pretty crappy deal when international business is trying to step on a mans ability to work.

    The new sprayer I'm running has 15" nozzel spacing on 132' boom. There is 107 electronic nozzel bodies(exact apply JD calls it and is a new feature this year) that apply an exact amount of spray no matter what speed you travel. It is a neat concept and if they work will save us $ on chemical costs. For example when you go around a waterhole or rock pile, the inner boom sprays less and the outer boom will apply more.

    I've been having trouble with certain nozzel bodies going bad and the only way to get them fixed is have the dealer come out and program the new one to my sprayer with a laptop. I can't just go buy one to have a spare and hook it up and keep spraying. Nope, they need to come out and program the dam thing, so here I sit for a couple hours waiting for them when I should be spraying. Luckily everything is covered under warranty but the downtime is killing me.

    JD have been great machines for us and our dealer is very supportive and helpful, but all this new technology and electronics we can only fix so much on them ourselves or it has to go to the dealer or we have to call them out.

    That's the lame way in which technology cuts both ways. When it works it's great, but when it doesn't work (and you can't fix the problem via brute strength and ignorance) it sucks.
