Specs 204 Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 4 hours ago, Kargokings said: Not many farmed in the 60s still using horses? We did. Gigantic draft horses - we were just kids though so everything looked that way I suppose and I spent many an hour plowing the fields with them. I was always in awe at their incredible strength. They were magnificent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kargokings 81 Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Nothing like a Shire, Belgian, Clydesdale or Percheron to make you feel really small and of course they were originally bred for War. Just imagine one of them coming at you with a well armed (sword / lance) soldier on board. If he didn't get you, the horses were also trained to use their feet to down you. Heritage park in Calgary had some Belgians and Percherons but not sure if they still do as the park has been mostly closed for the last two summer seasons due to the virus. The working horse harness is a piece of art: 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FTR, more time on horseback anyway (not a lot) than with an Otter strapped to my butt (zero, only driven round engines in teams of 2). Who knew that motorized farm equipment came so late (or maybe you guys are even older than I think) Cheers - IFG Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's why whiz-bangs have throttles and speed brakes I hope it is a close scoring game..., couple of good QB's there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank God for CC or I wouldn't know what the WEEK-END was supposed to be singing...if you call that singing. He actually has the one hit but his version tonight bore no resemblance to the actual song. I much prefer a well know band playing not some guy with a million strobe lights, red and white zombies, and magic mirrors. along with fireworks...

He chose the Super Bowl and then was PO cause he never got a Grammy nomination. The half time show is up to the star to pay. NFL pays very little. WEEKEND put up 7.1 million for his own show. Reviews are not that positive. He had all those guys with the bandages on their faces making a point that celebrities continually goi under the knife to capture their youth.

September Fields You better get up for your mama You better grab the best of your life I know you're ready To get older Anyhow Well all you have to do is wander Over fields of dark time Where do you find yourself Feeling lonesome Do you reckon your body and your mind? Day on earth by the streets at night Oh yeah I saw you passing There in the street lights Do you have A home for the morning And are you holding Holding on so tight You say that's what you have been given A whole lot of nothing for your time And have you sunken Down in your bones Do you toss and turn and turn at night And are you holding, holding on so tight Do you toss and turn and turn at night And are you holding, holding on so tight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mo32a 450 Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 This feels like an english lit class where you are supposed to guess what the author meant in his novel. I hated it then and hate it now. If you have something to say, say it clearly. I have no idea what that song is about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
