Now, THAT brings to mind the grain harvest time back on the farm. One of my jobs as a child was to "dress" the drive belt that ran from the tractor to the threshing machine. Yep, the belt dressing came in a large bar of black stuff and as the belt was moving I would rub it against those sections on the belt that were squealing or slipping.

When it was running right, I would amuse myself by catching grasshoppers and putting them on the belt to see if they could jump off before the drive pulley squashed them. -

OK,OK, I was easily amused - times were different - yes, your right it IS my med time.
