Hi Scott!
Thanks for being a part of this great nation. I have an undated, we think late 60’s Ford Diesel tractor.
Also a collection of very old generators.
You worry about falling in the water while trying to catch an ice fish. Are they pre-frozen?
We have to watch out for gator slides and especially momma gator when she has a mess of babies.
Get close then and she will gobble ya right up.
God bless ya brother..
