Thanks for asking, Charlie.

I am still around and read all the ATIS mail. But I am getting ready to 
do some serious downsizing. The Farmall 560 diesel has been sold, and I 
am trying to get the Farmall Super M ready (the battery is dead, along 
with all the Cub batteries and the Farmall 340 battery). I hate to buy a 
bunch of batteries, but I can't sell the tractors unless they start and 
run. I think I have the 6' flail pull-behind mower sold, and I may be 
able to get the Ford 2N out of my neighbor's barn so I can see if the 
block is cracked or just the freeze plugs popped. The Ford is the one 
with auxiliary transmissions that make it a 10 speed. I think the 
International 184 would probably start and run, but it is parked in my 
neighbor's bank barn and is blocked in by other machines.

The Case 340 and Ford 860 work fine, and I plan to keep them until the 
end, along with the International 240U (for lawn mowing), but everything 
else has to go.

Working with only half a brain is tough, but I am stumbling along. The 
doctors refuse to tell me how long I have, but I feel OK. So I just take 
it one day at a time. I was feeling kind of droopy the last several 
weeks, but the nice Spring weather has lifted my spirits.

Best wishes to all,

Mike (Sloane)
