Drove a station wagon pinto. Haven't seen one in years. A lot of them crushed or circle track chops I suppose. Cool tractor! Congrats on the tomatoes and thanks for the pics.
I had two, both had 1600cc engines with a 4 speed. That combination ran forever; the larger engines ate timing belts and the cams seized a lot.
The tractor: My son works for John Deere, him and the wife talked me into buying it 7 years ago. It's a life saver as one gets older, I use it for everything! Even moving appliances from the driveway to the front door.

"...she didn't want me on the tractor"
Are you sure she wasn't just looking for an excuse to drive it?
Things are finally start to kick in here. I need to update my glog soon.
I'm trying to let the knee heal, and getting on it right now won't help things. She putts around in low range 1st gear
Glad to hear things are taking off and looking forward to an update!
Some Windows help here:
Two things about uploading pics can be a challenge and time consuming. Resizing and renaming.
I have Office on my PC and use Outlook for email.
I resize by highlighting a group of pics and then right click, choose send to, then mail recipient. A box opens and you can resize in batch.
Renaming has always been something I hate to do. The pics come out of the camera in names like DSCN2482.jpg, my preference is to name them in order starting with one. When I take a 40 image load and have to rename them all, I say boring! This way when I post images I know what number to start with and copy the URL of the first, and then I can increment by one as I enter info about the pic.
So after some research I found a cool script which I edited to serve my renaming issue.
Open "run" and type powershell.
Once in powershell CD to where the pics are. Mine are in c:\2014 and I have a folder there for every date I upload. So today's pics are in C:\2014\6-20
So cd C:\2014\6-20 puts me in the correct folder. You can verify the place you're at by typing pwd. And of course powershell shows the path in the prompt. So today my first pic is 1007.
So I enter:
$i = 1007
To set the variable of the first filename. The command below will rename all the files in that folder. So make sure you use a dedicated folder with just the files you want to rename.
Get-ChildItem *.jpg | %{Rename-Item $_ -NewName ('{0
1}.jpg' -f $i++)}
I had 15 pics in the folder and they were renamed 1007.jpg through 1021.jpg, it's just too easy
OK here's a few:
Jigsaw getting huge and showing some color. The seeds were sent by Dale when he setup the Jigsaw Community Grow.
Jigsaw pods are getting mean looking!
Being I'm too lazy...I never repositioned the labels stuck in the ground after I discovered I had entered them upside down in the spread sheet. So this is NOT a Yellow Brain. Solving that fixed a ton of "mysteries"
It's a Bonda, seeds harvested from pods Annie sent last season. And it's like Ron White says "Looooaaaaded"
A not so clear Bonda close up.
Another blurry pic, TS Moruga Bhut from seeds Charles sent. My knee won't let me get low to get proper focus, good thing it's on the mend.
Another one of Charles' amazing crosses. These plants are very robust and simply loaded up with gnarly pods. Thanks Charles!
This is a Bhut Yellow 7 x Bhut Douglah
Group shot of the jungle, I guess next year 5' spacing is in order
Giant Yellow 7 looks to be growing true. Seeds from one of Annie's pods.
Yet another one of Charles' mad crosses Bhut Yellow 7 Plant is huge and loaded!
A few pods (same plant) are ripening, this branch is on the ground, just too much weight!

Looking
good Scotty . No looking superb. Your garden is so kick ass . Before long you will need a panoramic to get a full view of your harvests.
I have been fighting the same curled leaves syndrome that you have for years . Somedays I think maybe too much nitrogen or something to that nature . But I treat all my plants the same (in terms of feeding) so deep down I know that is not the case . This year as soon as I see the curling I strip the plant of infected leaves and spray the shiat out of it with wettable sulfur. Fingers crossed it has worked so far .
Keep it green my brethren and have a great weekend. Ice that knee up dailey
Thanks Jamie!
The pods are starting to roll in!
I've been doing the same, hit them twice a week with the Bonide wettable sulfur. Now where did I get that idea from? They're finally getting to where I'm not embarrassed to take pis of them
I've been keeping it iced and have been taking Aleve for the anti-inflamatory in it. As well as resting it and doing rehab exercises. It's finally getting better, but of course I'm afraid to use it much right now. 3 flights in July for family visits, so I need it to work
My wife won't even drive my truck or the golf cart we have
