When I was a young lad... I had these toy tractors that i would always play with. Once i outgrew my bedroom farmstead i had to expand my land in to the living room. i had fake barns and Fields lined out on a piece of paper so i knew where everything was supposed to be. One time I got so into it that i actually took some popcorn and "planted" it our living room carpet. Needless to say that that didn't last to long. I also don't think that mom was really happy when i watered it so that it would grow. I also remember one day i closed off the living room so that i could disk the Field. See i had this plastic disk that i could pull behind my favorite tractor, the John Deere Stagier, and it would leave little marks in the carpet. I think that it only took me a little over a hour to do the whole room.Looking back i really miss those days of being entertained by some metal pulling a plastic object. I would of never guessed when i was that age that i would be driving some of that machinery on a regular basis. I think that just by playing with those toys inspired me to do the work that i do today on my uncles farm. It wold be hard for me to think of growing up without those toys. they basically shaped my whole life and know they just sit up in our attic. Maybe I should get them down again?
