The Beast

I've noticed that it is finally started getting dry enough to think about farming. Now I don't particularly enjoy farming but I can do it. If you couldn't tell from my post titled <a href="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/000279.html">oil</a>, I spent the weekend performing maintenance on tractors so I could start farming. Got the maintenance done no problem, except for oil all over as usual. After I finished feeding this morning I went over and got on the big tractor I call <a href="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/pics/beast.jpg" onclick="window.open('http://www.nowherethoughts.net/pics/beast.jpg','popup','width=820,height=415,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false">The Beast</a> and started to farm. Now The Beast is only 35 years old so you think it would have run fine don't you. Got about 4 hours of work done and started to lose power. It has a fuel problem of some kind. I will look into it more tomorrow. Spent the rest of the afternoon with my son. Much more enjoyable than farming.<br />n<br />n<b>Learn the art of patience. Apply discipline to your thoughts when they become anxious over the outcome of a goal. Impatience breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement and failure. Patience creates confidence, decisiveness, and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success. Brian Adams</b>
