Different bales than when I farmed. When I farmed, the cotton bales were rectangular and 3/4 the size of a standard OTR semi trailer

Yeah, they’re smaller now for the modern machines. They are around 500lbs. About 54x33. I remember the big ones from back in the day!

77 in my pocket while starting to sort out the stuff I keep under the seat of my Kawasaki now it’s back from Andalucía.

I hope nun of your stuff is missing.
I had a '65 Dodge A100 flat nose pickup towed from a shop in Nebraska to So Cal. by my landlord, after a main bearing went south, on our way to Michigan.
When I got it back the in dash AM/FM radio, along with the speakers (a birthday gift from landlord's daughter) and my new 50 inch High Lift jack were missing.
My landlord noticed the were gone. When he asked, they lied, claiming I had sold them to the shop. (I really didn't.)
(I traded that pickup for a '64 Simca 1000 soon after. The Dodge needed a different engine. Even with a 0.800 shim, that main still knocked. The Simca "only" needed a generator. (hard to find. Car was imported by Chrysler. The Chrysler parts department asked/exclaimed (quote) " WHAT THE F*CK IS A SIMCA?!?" (I told him "A French car brand thar Chrysler used to own and import.") Needless to say, they didn't have one. Neither did the parts houses or auto recyclers.
Having the thing rewound cost several hundred more than I had.
Due to the mounting, a GM/Ford/VW generator could not be used. I used a charger overnight, and portable battery booster, for long trips, and at night, until I traded it for a Honda CL450 motorcycle a previous owner "chopperized" with a Harley Hog rear wheel a fork that was 12 inches too long (yes. everywhere I rode it was "uphill") and short TT pipes without baffles or mufflers.
I bough a CB 360 fork at the Orange Show swap meet, and fixed the fork problem after the engine oil pump quit/retired.
I bought a CB500 twin engine to replace the seized 450 twin engine.
The 450 died just before income tax refund came in.

Getting ready to leave the house today I had my Buck 303 in my pocket and my Vic Minichamp with my keys, but since I was going to be outside at a state park I thought I should have something on my belt too. (Just seemed like the right thing for a "knife guy" to do.) I reached for my Buck 501 but then noticed my Schrade LB5 and thought, "Perfect choice!". When I got home I posed it with a gorgeous mum that my wife has on the front porch.

They're Redwings. After I wore down the heels on the white crepe soles, I sent them in to be re-soled with Vibrams.

The original soft soles are really comfortable, and don't pick up mud, but they wear fast on rock, and concrete. Or super fast on asphalt shingles.

Thanks Amir, I'm in the market for a new pair.
