[AT] cold Farmall

Charlie/Ron,

We would saddle up a horse and pull a hood with a very long rope hooked to the saddle
horn. Then getting the hood going in a circle, the test was who could hang on in the hood
the longest. Writing this I can think of all kinds of real safety issues but I don't ever
recall anyone getting hurt.  Man that was a real kick.

Yessir!  A '41 Ford hood really works good when pulled behind a '38 Chev truck.  Just
don't let the old man catch you.  What tracks????  Who, me??  Your truck??  Naw, musta
been the neighbors.
