We all experiance a little sense of doubt when we try new things, as a kid for me it was the first time driving a self propelled swather, then first time driving a combine, then first time driving a grain truck, then I finaly got to drive the car. That's the thing about being in the country, you get to try new things, you get to screw up, and you get to laugh yourself silly over it. Keep on trying new things, keep on laughing and keep on posting it all in your blog. Way to go girl, you’ll be a fine farmer some day.

Now, if you want a taste of REAL country life visit www.bodocktimes.blogspot.com and read the two Big Al vs - storys that are there. (The website belongs to an internet friend that left the country for a few days... oh well, thats what you get when you give somebody else the keys to your blog!) Anyway, now that you remind me, I need to go mow my yard. Al I really am growing to love your site!

I grew up operating a very large mower.. if I did it as a kid.. you can do it..I just hope you don't get eaten by the egret size mosquitos we had in Michigan...

Quite a machine and like you, the learning curve is best not observed! My question after a few trial runs was why did they put a cup holder on it when it takes 100% consentration and 2 hands at all times to run it? These are the questions of our time.

Like every other hard task in life, procedures can be broken down into smaller, easier to master steps. (And I don't just say that because I used to work with developmentally disabled people who ran a tractor.) Seriously, you have taken on a number of new things recently. You probably would not have seen yourself doing so a little while back. I think you're allowed to grow into it, and you seem to be taking an accelerated track, anyway. You will handle the tractor.
