A Little more…..

The next day Dad and I had a great day riding, and then just ’hanging’ and sitting around his place – he loves to talk, and he loves showing/pondering on, and speculating about his “stuff,” all mechanical in nature - hence the connection to this old truck.

.Later in the afternoon as we talked (at some length) and sat on some chairs in his yard, three very large birds flew over – Dad made some sort of ‘Tarzan’ bird call, and to my suprise they circled, then dropped and walked right to us – evidently he has been feeding them since they were chicks (Sand Hill Cranes I think) and they continue to come back for more.

.So thats about it, a great visit because Dad has had a tough year - nevertheless he’s doing pretty doggone well, he’s proud, and tough as a bulldog - he’s even got a growl like one, but I didn’t hear it once on this trip to Florida…….. .WT Haynie 1926-2010.
