One of the many mind-boggling things about a rual community...

So today was my fist day back in school. I got a lot of comments on it from class mates and teachers. There were a lot of comments to the effects of me "rejoining the living" and so on. But the point of this digression was that I learned, to late to do anything about it, that today was bring you tractor to school day. Driving to school, I noticed 3 tractors in the Hardees parking lot (for those who don't know what Hardees is, it's like a McDonald's). Strange. I didn't know at the time that it was take your tractor to school day. When coming home, I made a point to look in the back parking lot. There was about 10 tractors parked out there! If I had known sooner, I would have taken one of Dads (regardless to the fact I can't drive it by my self).
Since today is a day dedicated to tractors, I feel that I should rant a bit about my dads tractors. He has two. Their names are 21 and 22, since my uncles tractors are already named 1 and 2. My Dad's mechanics call them the new tractor and the old tractor. One is 1/2 year older. They are bright orange AGCO tractors. For those who have seen Cars, they look sort of like the tractors that Lightning goes and "cow tips" They are more sophisticated than our cars. They have a lot of expensive electronics in it so dad can go in a strait row (I'm sure there are other reasons that they have. I've just never learned them). The seat is heated. It has a CD player (none of our cars have one). They have other things too, but I should stop before you go into a coma from boredom.

I THINK I could start up a tractor. Maybe... It was an FFA thing so I'm not sure if they announced it to the whole school

Megan said...

i wish i had a tractor like that! just kidding. i'm good with my mom-van. i would probably not be able to work it any way.

Becka said...

Ohh, a long time a go in a galaxy far far away, when it was actually warm, I drove the tractor! It was on gravel and my dad helped me when passing cars. You have to get way over almost in the ditch.
