Well------------------ first off, at 6 years old, I learned the importance of staying in the proper lane (row) driving a team of mules while my 1 1/2 year older brother worked the cultivator on a single row cultivator---
Later steered the tractor while pulling wagon while the big guys picked up hay bales--someone would start it moving , jump off then jump back onto tractor to stop it. Later, one of the neighbors had a Ford 8n and I could drive that and work the clutch by standing up on the pedal. Soon my Dad bought one for our farm and let me loose going all kinds of row crop cultivation----learned enough about staying in the center of the lane that drag strips and airport runways have been a piece of cake forever since.Speaking od piece of cake---anybody want some?? Robin just made me a triple layer German Choc for my 70th birthday tomorrow------
