Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

My grandfather. I adored the man, was a farmer in western Kansas. When a high school kid I'd live in his home and farm with him. He had other businesses to deal with and needed a hired hand. I was his hired hand. Western Kansas, not far from Dodge City. Flat, wind swept. I operated my grandfather's tractors, plowing. It was wonderful and if I could relive any of my days today (I'm an 80 year old man.) I'd like to re-do those. Twelve to fourteen hours a day, round and round putting that right wheel in the furrow. Stopping to refuel and grease the barings of the plow. Watching the clouds build to thunderstorms. Absolutely wonderful and some of the most wonderful times of my long life.

Isn’t the one on the right a jack for a horse drawn wagon ? I think the correct term is “conestoga jack” . All thou I could be way off
