[AT] OT NuGrape, Beeman's Pepsin Gum etc (Country Store)

[Rick Weaver]

Ron,

There you go again, berating the people who happen at this time to not
have a tractor question to talk about.  I guess the only people who rate
to say something on this list are the ones you approve of, who have
restored or are restoring a tractor?

Didya get up on the wrong side of the bed today?

Rick

Larry I wouldn't have said anything but 48 e-mails on grape soda
sickening
the stuff taste awful to start with.
Lets get this back to tractors with an occasional off topic.
How many of you guys actually own an old tractor that you are restoring
or
have restored. Not one that you picked up and got it running and drive
it
around the house once a year.

Please
Ron
