my wife shot the vid, I am getting her to better understand how and what to shoot and for how long,, she is getting better, I should have done a walk around of it, it was a miserable day to do it, Zero wind of breeze, down in a valley, was 98F with 95% h20 I did three 20 min demos I had greed to do 15 min runs, but the crowd that ran to see it work every time I fired it up made me add run time, I brought 85 hay barley bales to the show, I ran everyone through, two spectators stood out, one a very young boy and his young Mom, I seen him dragging her to the safety tape that kept folks back from the unit, his eyes were Huge, and he could not get it all in fast enough, when I finished that run, the first one, after I added almost 15 min over the 15 agreed to, he and his Mom came up to the SC CASE I had running it as I was shutting it off, she wanted to thank me for doing this, as her son had seen it running from a half mile away on a cross street and had begged Mom to go back, the boy was checking out everything straining the safety tape to get a better look at the SC and belt driving the thresher, I asked the Mom if she and him would like to get a closer look now that things were shut down and safe to be around, the boy was under that tape So Fast, he asked questions, listened closely to every word I answered him with,, I do believe he would have walked around that unit until the next show in 1 1/2 hrs, that is if Mom had not been on a mission to a baseball game tournament going on that weekend here , that brings me to the other special person who stopped to watch, he was in his late 80's,, had a walker, I seen him coming across the grass rea through the other dis[plays directly to the thresher display, he watched every part of the operation closely, when I was done he was still there, checking things out yet, I walked over to him, he started talking rapidly, he had last seen one work when he was there helping pitch bundles on bundle wagons, I invited him inside the tape as well, he went around it all twice, talking the whole time, he was so happy he got one again, it made the whole five days or getting ready and losing hay production worth while, sorry for the long reply, they have been trying to get me to come back ever since, a few stills to add to the post

It's stories like that, that make your efforts so much more meaningful. From the very young eyes who bugged out in awe to the seasoned eyes of one remembering what it was like when he was the one pitching bundles. You took the time to talk to them and that meant as much to them as it did to you in sharing something you loved and could pass on to that young boy in hopes of keeping the story going for another generation.

Tom, Gene hit the nail on the head,,, like taking a kid fishing before they are 10, it will stay with this one for sure. Plus you might steer this young fellow into any type of field that will make him or her successful!
