    Brucie no worries about Johnny getting you banned. He is trying to taunt you into a self banning. It is an old forum trick making one feel guilty for having a good idea on another's thread. I was within minutes of imposing a 30-day self-ban on myself for giving you wild and free boys of advanced years important survival tips. I restrained myself from posting about my extensive battery-operated tool collection boasting 3 vacuum cleaners, 2 drills, 4 saws, flashlights, fans, blowers, edgers, cell phone charger, Stihl chainsaw, clippers, and much more which would have been tacky and required 30 days self-ban in a mountain top Tibetian monastery women's repentance room.

    Anyone who has every lived or worked in tobacco country knows that you don't pick tobacco. You pick cotton but not tobacco.

    Hahaha! Yeah, you cut tobacco. You pick your nose and cut farts is the easy way to remember cotton and tobacco harvest methods.

    Well, the old way was to cut it off at the stalk so I deserve at least 50% credit.

    Shirley, when I was a kid, tobacco was "cropped" by hand. Now it's cropped with a gigantic mechanical harvester.

    Old enough to give these senior "bachelors" tips on housekeeping and discourse on cutting/chopping VS picking/plucking and proper use of hand tools VS big heavy motorized machines. :p :p:D Here is a hug Shirley so we can unite to guide these unencumbered advanced years boys before Bruce posts a photo of how he peels potatoes on his lathe.:rolleyes:

    I've lived in tobacco country. I've worked in tobacco country. We picked tobacco. Sorry if this displeases you.
