Hey that is a good song, never heard it before, might be a good theme song for my waterproofing business, if I ever had a web site that would be the perfect back ground song

I always liked "A boy named Sue" the song that is.
Another good example of proper punctuation I guess :laughing:

Hello, State Farm?
Whenever I hear Johnny Cash I think Ring of Fire.

Thanks J_J, I haven't listened to that one in a while. Oh, the picture was funny but hope everything worked out OK.

Just checking out some of the other Cash songs, this is another great one I've never heard before. Real American folk music.

YouTube - Johnny Cash - I Hung My Head

I don't know much about his music, except for the popular songs.

This is from the "Unearthed" CD set, a great collection of Johnny Cash music recorded very late in his career. Some real gems mixed in with some experimental stuff that really didn't work (as Cash admitted). Long live the music of the Man in Black!

Hung My Head is actually not written by Johnny Cash but the British singer Sting. Here is the original YouTube - Sting - I Hung My Head
Cash made an album when he covered several of songs including the old Irish ballad Oh Johny Boy, a song from the 90's by a band named Bepeche Mode, Sting and many others. Great album none the less I believe is titled The Man Comes Around. He wrote that song and what a great one Just listen

Ditto on the "Hope he wasn't wearing a seatbelt" thought.

I don't like Johnny Cash because his music promotes violence.

Whenever I hear Johnny Cash, I want to kill...Johnny Cash.

What you said doesn't make any sense. Is that what you think, or is that something Johnny cash said?

Maybe he's still on the tractor...

(BTW, I didn't understand your comment about Johnny Cash either)

Is that why they paint them green, so they blend in with the frogs?

The worst part of his day is going to be getting that back out because he either has to drag it out on it's side, up right it where it sits, or wait for the water to go down (assuming it's not a pond that can't easily be drained).

Notice that the FEL is raised way up. Bit of a safety lesson here apparently.
So, if the guy rolled/slid down the bank cuz he tipped over sideways, having the seat belt on, if so, would likely have been a lifesaver.

Lots of unknowns here. Being belted in and getting off a tractor underwater would at least be a whole bunch easier than trying to exit a helicopter, small plane or even a car. Things to think about and at least mentally practice if possibilities in one's world.

Interesting picture here JJ, but have you got any of the gories? The details?

Oh, sorry about getting OT, I like most Johny Cash stuff..... ;' >

I can tell you about getting out of things underwater. During my Navy training for aircrewman, we had to exit a plane cockpit fully outfitted with boots, helmet, life vest, that slide down a rail and turned upside down underwater.. The first time, I was real scared, then after doing it a few times, you simply held your breath and watched which way the bubbles were going, and you went out that way. Worse than that is the helicopter dunker that turned upside down underwater, with about 8 people inside. Everybody was kicking everybody trying to get out. Although for 20 years, I never was involved in a real crash, but some of my friends were. None of them lived.

Yep, the Dilbert Dnker...

I wasn't aircrew (eyesight wasn't good enough), but I remember that.
