Yep, back in those days, on the farm, there were two kinds of kids, the quick, and the ones missing body parts.

I remember my grandfather setting me up on a couple sacks of grain near the big drive pulley on the engine (he was babysitting). I had lots of fun catching grasshoppers and placing them on the drive belt as it returned to the engine. The fun was to try to guess whether or not the grasshopper would jump off the belt before it got squashed by the drive pulley.

About twice a day, my grandfather would have to shut down the machine and scrape all the dead grasshopper carcasses off the flywheel - because they were making it heavy and slowing down the machine -
