By The Way...

Hearing Nothing at the moment
Here's the second attempt at this week's Monday Photo Shoot, after AOL Journals ate my previous attempt (boo! hiss!):

Your Monday Photo Shoot: Get a picture of something large and wheeled. Semi trucks, buses, tractors, "monster trucks" -- if it's larger than an SUV (or possessed of more ridiculous wheels, in the case of the monster trucks) it qualifies.

Here's mine:



It's harvest time round these here parts, so there are a lot of tractors on the road right about now, hauling various industrial agricultural implements behind them. Honestly I don't know what the thing this tractor is hauling does. I assume it somehow reassembles and becomes Optimus Prime, who then uses space-age technology to harvest an entire field in 20 seconds, or something like that. I'm sure it's all very technical, and that I'm best off just not knowing too much.

Your turn: Grab the camera, snap some big-wheeled vehicle, post the picture on your blog or journal. Then come back here to leave a link! It's called the Monday Photo Shoot but you have until Thursday noon to get in your shots. Lots of time to get those wheels going.

  Here's the info: It's a 4 wheel drive articulated 9000 series John Deere tractor. The attachment is an air seeder for planting grain. It has a vacuum on it and sucks the seed to a plate and then plants a seed. Joey said it's done so very fast you can't even imagine. There is more info to this but it gets confusing.
  
  He also thought it was a liquid fertilizer, but upon looking at it closer, he said it was a planter.  So, my guess at a disker was totally off.  So there ya go John!
