Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

playing king of the hill on the haybales

I loved climbing on haybales. But my dad didn't bale hay (hence the blowing of chopped hay into the barn) so the only time I got to do that was when we were visiting somone else's farm or if my dad had to buy baled hay when we had a poor crop of our own.

I got to drive the tractor when I was little. I got it profoundly stuck in mud. I also got to drive the truck, which now makes me cringe.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I never got to play on hay bales as a kid, or on tractors.

Given my self injury track record, this might be a good thing.

ION news, As of right now, I have nothing important left to do today. Can I go home before someone changes that?

I was ten the first time I drove a tractor. And maybe 11 the first time I drove a truck - I had to drive it to the back forty for my dad. The only thing I did wrong was parking it on a hill with it still in drive (it was the first time I drove something with an automatic).

Once I had to help my dad get a tracter out of the mud - I drove one of the two other tractors he chained to it to help pull it out. Good times....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hay bales were so much fun to clamber all over!

My sister has bought hay bales to put in her yard when she had masses of children running around. I can't remember why she had masses of children in her yard, must have beeen a party or something.

My uncle used to take us out in the cab of his tractor all the time. And my cousins (his kids) were put to work riding beans.

The first time I ever drove (not counting the tractor incident) was when the eldest of the cousins took me and another my age out on to the farm roads and let us drive her future-mother-in-law's brand new stationwagon. I was 11. I still can't believe she did that, considering she's not a risktaker or anything.
