Can't tell much from the photo and I couldn't get the phone camera deployed quick enough, but this is during a driving lesson out on the back roads to my 13 year old granddaughter. Off in the weeds just over a slight bluff you can barely see a WD tractor which was at work. I believe it was running a pump as there is a pond over that crest and that tractor either resides there, or is used there often as I've seen it many times. And the results after the time with "Grandpa":   ------------- That's All Folks! |

That WD is still on the job. Great way to have your granddaughter develop some driving experience. Looks like she enjoyed it. I had my granddaughter doing the same with my F250 when she was that age. If you can find a teen driver course (one day class) in your area that teaches emergency maneuvers it’s well worth the time and money. I think State Farm Insurance may sponsor one. Is that a Subaru that she is driving? ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

All four of my granddaughters get the driving lessons on the back roads as did my kids at those ages. Kinley, (shown driving) can also operate the skid steer, tractors, and is beginning to learn to shift my R model Mack truck w/13 speed, (no semi trailer yet). All four will be proficient by driver's education classes. I sponsored driver's education safety classes along with motorcycle safety classes given by the local community college for many sessions when in business. I believe in them for certain. Only practice and reiteration of safety and preparedness can make for safe driver's till experience is gleaned. Exposure and experience are the two best teachers no matter what is preached from a desk however. I don't know if that tractor is a WD, or WD-45 as have never been nearer than the road to it. There are a mix of tractors around that immediate area and I can't say if I know who owns that piece of property. The tractor is seemingly always there whether summer, or winter and there is a cattle farm not far distant so may be the water source for them? The few times I've seen it running, it seems to run well with a steady drone to it. Forgot the car: Yes, 2024 Subaru Forester. Really a nice little vehicle for us. Second vehicle we've purchased new and I'm still driving the Nissan Altima this vehicle replaced which was our first new vehicle.
