Wheel Lines are posessed of the devil

No pictures (although we have them) will be shown on this post. Most of our friends that don't live in Mattawa have no idea what wheel lines are, but ask any farmer and they will roll their eyes and tell you that they are terrible, they never work right and some think it might be easier to water 40 acres with a hose than a wheel line. Anyway, Jack was working on ours and got his hand caught in a pully and nearly lost two fingers in the process. He ended up taking the tip of his pointer finger on his right hand and the entire finger nail from his ring finger on same hand off. Like from clear under the skin off. Aren't you glad no pictures. For Jack the best part about it was the huge bandage that he wore that got him out of the bell choir at school. Funny though that his texting was never hindered by it. Jack did ask the missionaries if they could bring over some consecrated WD-40 and exorcise the wheel lines. Instead, when he was no longer an invalid which in Jef's book was about 8 hours later, he made the necessary changes to that particular motor to not eat fingers anymore. Now Jonah changes the wheel lines and has no idea what bad lines are like because Jack did such a great job fixing them. (Jack says to scratch that last part because now the evil spirits will know it's time to get back to work)

It looks great!! Except for the sideways pictures... I'm not sure how to fix that, unless you need to edit them before you upload them. (If you meant to have them sideways, then nevermind--sorry!)
Anyway, I like it, and you've picked it up quickly. I'm so excited to have someone in my family doing this now too! :)Love the "consecrated WD-40"
