Farm work is good. I like tomatoes.

They are my favorite vegetable.

i like them once they are crushed up and put on flat bread with cheese, or diced up with pepers and onion and then doused with vinegar and served on corn chips.... but not raw.


My wife can eat them like an apple. ( nasty.... )

i have beefstakes palnted.. plus some peppers.. okra.. some herbs ( basil )... i think that's it.

oh.. pumpkins too.. and zuch and squash.. how could I forget those.

You may have the correct water level but since the tire side wall is slumped, the water level may be over the stem. Put in some air to raise the tire sidewall profile up the way you want it, then depress the valve stem to see if any water comes out. Water with air mixed is ok, but if you get a pure stream of water, you really don't know how high the level is so bleed it till it starts spurting some air with the water, then air back to the required pressure. With your water mix, a regular tire gauge will work, just dry it when finished.

And nobody came back to start an argument about fruit vs. vegetable!

Since Reagan declared Ketchup a vegetable, tomatoes must therefore be vegetables.

Reagan only had the authority to make them vegetables in America. In Canada they are still fruit, just like codfish.

Very late comment. If you get water in your air gauge make sure you blow it out thoughly, or it will rust. The local garage owner won't let farmers air up thier tractor tyres if they have water as they get water in the gauge and he has to replace the gauge due to rust. Commercial gauges are not cheap. He insists on doing the air up himself to save his gauge. The tyres are often over filled with water too.
To get the correct wqater level, rotate the tyre valve to between 1-2 oclock position and fill with liquid. This ensures an air space at the top of the tyre to take an air preassure reading without drowning your air gauge.
