Tedder tire passed me so fast I thought where did that basketball come from?... oh no that's a tire turn off the pto. Was cutting earlier and hit a rock a road mower knocked out of some rip rap in the road ditch into a field. Then the hyd fill cap broke off on cutter tractor lol. I got it all back going but was wondering if others have the same type stuff happen.

If occassionally I have to do some labor on the sabbath (every seventh day, whichever you chose to observe) I don't feel a bit of guilt, but I will still try to find a way to fellowship with other believers on that day Maybe a meal or something.

Choose what you do with them wisely becuse you never know which one of them will be your last.
