[AT] Healthy Eating, was "Just checking"

[charlie hill]

Dean, our whole group is getting older.  I guess I might be among the 
younger members
with Spencer and John being a good bit younger than me.  Still I just don't 
have the
drive and ambition I used to have.  Part of that is due to conditions I 
really can't change
right now.  Hopefully it will change before long and I'll get back to work. 
I'm sorry
to hear you are having problems.  I fear mine is more laziness than health 
and maybe I'm
just making excuses.   I can do what I have to do and once I get started 
it's not so bad
but it's been a while since I took pleasure in my tractor play.

Charlie

Charlie, I spend a reasonable amount of time trying to figure out why I 
don't work my tractors very much any more. I think it is a tie between bad 
knees, a bad back and laziness.  Don"t know which came first. I still really 
enjoy it but my body rebels. Was able to recitation two JD GT 235's thus 
summer for Butt Buggy duty at antique tractor shows.  I just can't walk that 
much anymire. The Butt Buggies let me see everything again at shows. Plus I 
got a kick out of bringing them back from near death.

All of my tractors are patiently waiting for my knees to stop hurting
and my hands to stop aching and for me to get over a spell of laziness
and make them run again.  I've let them all get in bad disrepair.
Nothing major but enough to stop them from running.  Mostly carb
and ignition issues.

I have had the MF 35D out a couple times this summer. The old girl get
less use these days because I have the NH subcompact but there are some
jobs she does a lot better. I do need to find someone to replace the
seal on the steering column. Too much PS fluid passing by it. The
current seal was put in place about 20 years ago. Doing the repair
myself is a bigger job than I want to tackle. She also needs new shoes
all around.
