Brothers Gone: Youngest Becomes a Man

With his older siblings gone to the film academy, Buddy and I did mainten-ance work. We had the problem of placing a 500 lb., 8 foot wide, 20 disc plowing rig onto a flat-bed trailor using our forklift. I had planned to lift and scoot method, but as soon as we lifted half of it with our small four foot forks, we realized it was not going to work. I tend to get sullen and quiet, but my cheerful little compatriot said we could get straps and soon his two-strap suspension system was in place. Sure enough it worked. He transported the disc 20 yards to the trailer. In one hour and a half he overcame one problem after another. Papa was proud; his little man is coming on.
