  1. The Glengarrian A local farmer would weld it, fix the fuel injection or hydraulics or whatever. Smile and send it East. I don’t think you can be a farmer and not have the ability to fix things.

  2. Reminds me of a few years back with a semi. Gumbo on a road sucked me into a ditch.
    That’s the only thing that coould get to me to pull the unit back up onto the road.
    Good times.

  3. We love our John Deeres. Deere & Company has always done well, even during the Great Depression it paid dividends and split the stock. Trading today around $74.52.
    Skip @ 11:04, good answer. You get the prize today.

  4. If it’s worth the traffic to post ‘tractor driving past my window’ video, this blog has become a pathetic shadow of what it once was.

  5. Aaron…there are possibly some cooking and gardening blogs that you might enjoy…they always stay on topic.

  6. Aaron – the pyramids lunacy is one thing, but could you please refrain from insulting our blog-mistress/hostess or whateveryoucallit? She doesn’t owe you anything. Besides, since we’re being rude (you started it) – you don’t get the joke. It’s a funny joke. But you’re a foreigner, so you don’t get it. That’s cool, I probably wouldn’t get most Russian jokes about pop culture. No big. But stop being rude.

  7. If your coffee table book is entitled The History of the John Deere Tractor…you might be a redneck.
    Thanks for the laugh about Iggy’s bus!
    There’s an easy way to get vehicles un-stuck…ya just put the tractor front tires against the bumper of the stuck car/truck…put it in gear…and push. If you’re ever in rural Ontario Aaron feel free to go off roading.

  8. Done your calculations about pyramid lunacy, Mamba, haven’t you? How many tons of dolomite can you move 1 mile in a day?

  9. Glengarrian…you make me miss the good ole country days when our family never needed CAA. We had good neighbours.

  10. Rural living gives you unseen “powers” that city folk often don’t appreciate:
    When I lived on the farm many years ago we had a problem with unannounced visits from a nosey pushy Mother-in-Law. It got so bad that I finally had to confront her and tell her that visits were henceforth to be “by invitation only.”
    She went fuming out of the farmhouse, jumped into her vehicle and tore down our long laneway in a rage. It was winter with lots of slippery snow. Her car spun out of control off the lane and into the frozen swamp.
    After trudging back to the farmhouse she jumped up and down and “Eva Braun” ordered me to pull her car out of the swamp. Whoopee! Now I was finally the king of my own domain! So I hemmed and hawed: “well I don’t think my tractor is big enough to do the job — think I’ll have to call a neighbour down the road who has a bigger tractor”. “Could take hours — maybe even a couple days”. I savoured every moment of her predicament and drew it out for as long as possible.
    God is with rural people.

  11. Aaron, F*&$ off.
    This blog is the personal property of Kate and she can post what she pleases when she pleases with no need for your approval.

  12. Aaron has been banned from most of Canada’s discussion forums now he’s trolling blogs issuing fatwahs from on Tin Foil high. He’s a semi-literate jack arse pay him no heed.
    I live in a rural area and it’s not uncommon to see tractors go through the Timmies drive through.

  13. Kate, one day you will realize that the crowd who unquestionably appreciates you are just those who are only capable of posting one-liner insults of those who disagree with them. How are they different from the left? I can’t tell any of them political orientation, unless like Vίtruvius, they expose themselves as libertarians eventually.

  14. Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose:

    Aaron at November 30, 2010 12:54 PM – “If it’s worth the traffic to post ‘tractor driving past my window’ video, this blog has become a pathetic shadow of what it once was.”
    Welcome, Aaron, to the one-liner Weiserhood. *slow clap*

  15. Aaron @ 2:32 “Just those who will unquestionably not appreciate not underappreciating unappreciated unquestioned undifferent non-Left unknown pyramid orientation, disorientation”.
    Brilliant! Or maybe I’m confusing the pyramids with that dunce cap on the top of your head.

  16. “Kate, one day you will realize that the crowd who unquestionably appreciates you are just those who are only capable of posting one-liner insults of those who disagree with them.”
    I come here to read the discussions on what Kate posts, not to read your bitching and moaning about the post topics. Start your own blog if you are so unhappy with this one.
    What are you going to do about it Aaron?

  17. > not to read your bitching and moaning about the post topics
    That’s part of the discussion. Unless of course you are prepared to see only what I agree with.

  18. Ah, Saskatchewan gumbo, wish I could forget it but I can’t. Honest, that patch of dirt looked dry and an ideal place to turn around in. And, yeah, a farmer pulled me out without cracking a smile (although I knew it was there). Good people there.

  19. You wanna see stuck??
    There’s the Great Saskatchewan Stuck in the Muck photo contest worth checking out.

    Having experienced 2010, I’m happy to say that the spontaneous twitching and the involuntary fits of hysterical giggles are almost gone now, but the nocturnal screaming and icy sweats still persist! I should be ok by spring though, when we get to do it all again.

  20. Aaron – I’m not trying to pick on you. I’ve often liked your contributions. But you can be unnecessarily rude sometimes (see above @12:54), and then there are all the times you’ve accused everyone here of being communists while in the same online breath calling for second-hand smoke and certain cooking-oils to be eradicated.
    And the pyramid thing is just nuts.

  21. “That’s part of the discussion. Unless of course you are prepared to see only what you agree with.”
    No, wrong. It’s not part of the discussion unless you’re a cracked foreigner who thinks he can control someone else’s blog and its readership from on high. In Soviet Russia, readers blog you.

  22. Hey Kate, call me on my cell if ya need too, I got me some cajun cousins that love braking the legs off of trolls and feeding them to gators.

  23. Do your math, Mamba, before diagnosing other with insanity. I graduated with a major in business administration in building. Calculating workforce and machinery required for given volume of construction material moved in given time was one of the most basic things taught.
    As for cooking oils – no, I never advocated for their eradication. You are putting someone else’s words in my mouth. Use anything you like – just let me opt out, for Chrissake! That’s a conservative thing to do – live and let live. Same with water fluoridation – if it’s so good for our teeth, let me opt in or out. But once fluoride is in water, it’s very difficult to filter out and even RO does not remove it completely. Why are you not allowing me to opt out?
    Why are you for putting MSG into 100% of processed foods w/o clearly labeling? Should not those who like to be poisoned be allowed to load up on glutamic acid, while those who don’t should be allowed to make informed decisions and buy alternative w/o MSG?
    Smoke all you want – just don’t puff into my face, just like I am not allowed to shoot clays near your backyard. It works both ways – if you think smokers should be allowed to indulge anywhere they see fit, you should have nothing against some second-hand #7.
    This is ‘Collectivism 101’ for you right here. Collectivists don’t understand that they are – they need to be told that in capital letters many times, and only if they have enough gray matter and a will to accept conflicting POV, they might change. Your ‘conservative collectivism’ concerns me, that’s why I post here from time to time. My children will have to live in this country. It is kind of important what it will become in a few decades.
    Unfortunately Canada was established by a monarch’s verdict and has no concept of fighting for freedom. That explains why freedom is so ingrained.

  24. Canada has no concept of fighting for freedom? Thousands of graves in Europe would suggest otherwise.

  25. Thanks for helping me out Aaron. All these years I thought I made up my own mind before I was informed I was one of the collective. What would I do without your omniscience. Tell you what, you wear a helmet with a flashing light and siren and I won’t smoke within fifty feet. Deal?

  26. Pyramid and Frisbee?
    Wasn’t that the play-within-a-play in Midsummer’s Night Dream?
    See, Miss Barr. My English edumacation wasn’t totally in vain.

  27. That green bad boy cost more than my house, and most likely is more comfortable to drive than my car!
