The Big Red Ride

The Big Red Ride at Uncle Gary's!
This pretty baby is a Massey-Harris 44 Special
refurbished by my Grandfather Jerry Needler
and some of my uncles not long before he died.

Tractors are serious business where we come from...


We're goin' for a ride, goin' for a ride.
Sit right down and buckle up!
We're goin' for a ride!

I'm NEVER getting off!
I'm gonna DRIVE it!

And...he didn't get off AND nobody made him.
Now, you gotta understand that there's at least
TWO picnic tables worth of cousins
sitting on every available surface,
some on the laps of others eating watermelon
WAITING for their turn to ride.
Here he is on ride #2 with cousins
Phillip and Jimmy Gerald.
He's a lucky little bloke...

Isaac LOVES tractors. The funny
thing is that he keeps calling them vacuums.
HEY...THEY'RE BOTH NOISEY!
