    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

You just have to see a Plough Match. There is something special about watching a man setting a plough with his horse waiting and then ploughing a furrow like an arrow - it's man and the earth.
My Wife is setting up her stall to sell the best chicken paintings you ever saw and I am crew chief. We loaded the wagon and I rode the bike 'cause I have to be back tomorrow for stuff but honestly I was not looking forward to 160 mile round trip at motorway speeds mixing with heavy weekday traffic in mist and fog - a soft day - in failing light. It's been a while since I had to ride in all weather on muddy twisty two lane roads. I don't know if it's me or the GS but it felt so much more secure coming home tonight than I ever remember in the old days. Can I actually be better than I was when I was 30 ? Eh! No.

Ploughing in Ireland, plowing in the states. Haven't seen a Plough Match but have seen many horses plowing in a field. I grew up not far from Sugarcreek, Ohio, USA and Holmes County where the Amish still use horses, usually Belgians, to plow their fields. It's also the way my Dad did it when he was young in the 1930's and early 40's before Grandpa bought an Allis Chalmers tractor. My family was not Amish, though many of their neighbors were.
