Oh no, I don't point out or argue anything to the old timers <G>  Tis a
lesson in frustration ;-)  I just do it my way, and keep quiet.

Shuold have heard the old buzzards laugh at the fly masks on the horses!

My 80+ year old neighbor who was born about 5 miles down the road was
telling me how they didn't even bother to keep horses during the
winter...they ate too much hay that was needed for the cattle.  He would
stand 2 horses up side by side and line their heads up exactly, so his
father could kill them both with one shot and not waste a bullet.

Next spring they would grab a few more off the range or buy them cheap
off someone down below.
