not too shabby there, Stan. I like the modified Jeep in camo ALMOST as much as I do your JD8000 series?? tractor in the bckground. And your Grandson sitting down with a open breeched .410 side-by-side says it all-I might be able to hit hem with a 20 bore, but with a .410-doubtful--RWTF
Francis, that pic of grandson Jackson was when he was age 9. That was after his first dove shoot where he actually shot a gun. He had been on many with me as a "bird shagger", but had never shot for himself. He killed nine, fair chase. His younger brother, several years later, killed the limit on his first shoot. That is just unheard of.
The Jeep has been haranguing me with a problem for a couple years. The battery would just go dead all of a sudden for no apparent reason. I was recharging the battery today and was moving wires around, and saw an arc. I moved them some more and saw that the big, red lead from the battery to the winch was touching the exhaust manifold and the heat had actually burned through the insulation and the inside copper core was grounding on the exhaust manifold. I put two layers of heat shrink on it, tied it away from the manifold, and called it a successful repair.
You have good eyes. That JD in the background is an 8400 that was hooked to a KMC peanut combine. Evidently the pic was taken in October/November.
Best, Stan
