Met a little man (4 I think) last fall at our tractor show, found out he lived right down the road from us, loved tractors, never seen one up close much less played with one before. I told his mom to bring him over one day and the two of us would just play with the toys. She brought him over Friday and he and I spent some time moving mulch piles, digging holes and riding around the neighborhood. I don't know who had more fun me or him. Sent him home tired, dirty and smiling, told mom that I feel sorry for them when he goes to see Santa this year! Maybe he'll turn out to be the next generation of old tractor lovers!

Good job Joe, kid need stuff like that. I got a little neighbor boy like that. I let him hunt on my place. There is really nothing to hunt, but he seems to have fun. It tickles me to see him stalking around with his pellet gun.

Nice job, Joe. Warms my heart knowing the "work" that the two of you did. Thank heavens I had someone like you for me 65 years ago.
That little man will remember the experience and some day pay it forward.
