Thought for the day

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who as the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. [Theodore Roosevelt]

My old tractor

I m in the middle of rebuilding my 1951 Ford 8N tractor.  I am only the third owner and I know who the other two are.  One day it will go to my friend Renee who asked that I leave it to her.

I will post progress pictures as I go along.

Here is what it looked like when I bought it.
It is now in pieces and I am cleaning, sanding, and getting ready to sandblast and prime.
