Hi Gil
I'd like to see a picture of those Cockshutts of yours some day. I still 
think about that 50 diesel that I missed out on a few years back. That 
was a nice running diesel alright.
I had my gas 40 running this morning on the hammer mill for a few hours 
grinding cattle feed. At 10 degrees F I noticed the starter was a little 
slower turning than normal but it started right up. Was thinking of 
taking a few pictures but I was kind of rushing against the weather. 
With predictions of snow in the afternoon I wanted to get finished 
before that happened. Plus that cold southeast wind inspired me to keep 
going strong on the job til I was done.
Speaking of winter and cold , here is a link to a photo I took 5 years 
ago showing my Uncle and his winter's supply of firewood that we had 
just finished cutting.

Unfortunately the picture does not show the little John Deere AR and 
buzz saw just off to the left. That was Uncle Don's last wood pile as he 
died the following July. It was a yearly ritual to go and help him cut 
up the firewood each fall.
