[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]E.J, Unlike the laughable old days when dried cow patties were chipped and thrown into the air for distribution as the manure spreader was pulled by a tractor, your friend is applying a liquid fertilizer through downward-pointing spray nozzles. And from the safety of a truck cab where a sudden tailwind won't ruin a man's day. Your grandmother is/was one tough cookie to survive early life in a soddy. You know all those little creatures such as spiders and scorpions and invisible biting bugs? They didn't have to sneak into a soddy under a door or through a window casement. They lived in the walls and came out at night to gnaw on and generally terrorize l'il prairie kids. Any wonder you don't see a lot of grinning in those period tintypes? Sport-touring and dual-sport bikes at the moment. A Yamaha FJR1300 for long-distance work, a BMW R100RS for regional goofing around, BMW F650GS Dakar for light duty dual sporting and a Kawasaki KLR650 for the more technical jeep roads (Colorado, you know). -Chris Lawson _schlup13820@yahoo.com_ (mailto:schlup13820@yahoo.com) writes: Chris, that solves everything! Our farmer friend is spreading manure today on our hayfield using a large tank truck, any comments? I really enjoy Kansas and my grandmother was born in sod house in Chanute. What kind of motorcycles?
