This morning another fellow and I worked on one of our officers automobiles (Postmans holiday going for walk).  but I enjoyed the diversification It was a V-8, cleaned and regapped the spark plugs, filed the distributor points, removed, cleand, repacked the bearing in the generator also cleaned the aremature + cut down the segments in the commutator then washed the engine down good with gasoline + a compressed air sprayer.  Ran like a top when we finished up.
Glad to hear the corn is coming on good even if the quack is catching up to it  I think it will soon catch up with the season.  With all this warmth + moisture grass and hay should be fine in a short time.  I did so want to see Iowa this spring planned on the first part of June for six weeks now I can plan on the last week in July or first week in August.
Poor Buck if he only had poison oak on his nose it would cover quite an area, guess that stuff can be pretty bad.  You must have been quite a ball pitcher in your younger days  hitting a rat in the head and I will remember the time you hit O his rooster laugh about it to myself even yet when I think about it.
