Growing on a farm that grew alfalfa mostly, we used hay hooks alot, never had a serious accident with one. We had some blisters from using them usually on first hay cutting.. normal use is not swinging towards your body, but rather in front of it.

Never stuck myself either. Got some sweat in the eyes though.

1959.

Ah, a modern one.

I was negative 2 in 1959.

I would have been .25 this Friday, in 1959

Georgia Pacific is NOT running 2.5 times the normal. They can't. They already run 24/7 and don't have spare toilet paper making lines just sitting around. Every article I've read this week with interviews of Georgia Pacific officials, say their orders are up by 2x, but they cannot increase production.

However, what they are seeing is that when the personal home use demand increases the demand at hotels, conference centers, and businesses drops. It's still the same amount of TP. Georgia Pacific says they have enough TP in their warehouses and produce enough at their factories to cover any needs.

Ga Pac also runs warehouses...The one i pick up near my house typically loads and unloads 80 trucks per day. The week of my previous post, they were over 200 trucks incoming and 200 outbound so in my mind, that is 2.5 times normal . 24/7 operating can always be improved, by just fixing the bottlenecks and decreasing lost time.

Careful. I could legally buy liquor in any state of the Union in 1959.

Age never stopped us.

All we had to do was either stand around a liquor store and wait for an old lady (old ladies seem to drink a lot) and ask her to buy for us, or, go ask our friend the gorilla. The gorilla was a kid that looked like Sasquatch and had a full beard since he was probably 6 years old. :laughing:

Oh, I didn't say how long I had been buying it; we used to drive over to Drummond, before we were old enough to get a driver's license, and play pool and buy beer. Of course, most of the kids I grew up were driving tractors and wheat trucks a soon as they could reach the pedals. I was driving at age 13; a little later than some.

Ever see any of the crew?

Yep. One lives about 3 miles from me. Brenda lives 20 miles from me. In my Male ***** days I dated her for a couple years.

You invented dirt!!!! :thumbsup:

Maybe not, but I had the privilege of putting a plow in a 5 acre plot of ground that had never seen a plow. The plow sunk down to the beams, and the tilled portion stood at least 6" taller than the previously tilled ground. Had to plow in low gear.

Then clearly you are NOT older than dirt. "low gear" is but a blip on the timeline of agriculture.

Are we talking about old dirt or new dirt, ya'know compost, the stuff poop turns into if left in the woods for a while.
