City Kid Converted

PineRidge · Mar 19, 2005

My daughter came in from Indiana where she lives to visit this weekend. Jim her boyfriend came along to meet us. He's a city kid who has never been on a tractor before. I got him up on the TC-40D today and gave him a 5 minute pep talk before pointing him toward the mud. In this picture he is actually on his way back to the house looks like he's studying the dash.

I made him crawl back up so I could get a close-up shot. I think he approved of the ride.

I still remember the first time I crawled up on a tractor too. I was smiling also /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Murph he could be the one and it scares me too.

Ron he played with it in the mud but I'm the one that will be doing the cleaning. Isn't that the way it is with kids today?

Mike; It looks more like he's jerking around in the seat to get it to go faster. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif Are you sure he didn't have the E brake on? /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

John he actually did when he started out but I quickly caught that and showed him how to disengage the brake. I'm thinking Jim was just plain having a darn good time.

Those pics remind me of going up to my uncles place. You never left there without riding the tractor, (an old Ford) the Jeep, and anything else fun to use! Jim reminds me of myself 15 years ago!

Good pics PineRidge!

What is up with this, he is smiling but his clothing is still clean, throw some mud on that boy, show him how a real tractor ride should be.

Well you learn something new every day. Last night I took the family (6 of us) out to a nice dinner. When we got back to the house Jim tells us that he can play the violin and I'm like yeah right. So he drags this violin out from a very expensive looking case that he brought along and his face changes to a very serious look, and he proceeds to play for the next hour.

I wish someone had a camera to take pictures of the wife and me cause I know my mouth was open in disbelief. turns out Jim has been playing the violin for 16 years. The one that he brought with him set him back 18K and he said it was a cheap one compared on a scale of real instruments.

See if you can pick out his picture from this web site

Although I'm still not yet ready to run out the door and start a collection of violin cd's what I heard last night coming from Jim and his violin was truly amazing to say the least. And this old dog learned another lesson in life. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
