I wasn't allowed to ear headphones when I was a kid running an old Ferguson TO30. Was told I needed to hear what the hell was going on and not be distracted. I hated it. But have come to appreciate it greatly. I used to have a repertoire of several dozen songs. I've a voice that carries, but am often told to stop singing.  If I'm working in the shop the fam claims they can hear me in the house. Deep Thoughts From a Shallow Mind was an awesome album from Doug Supernaw. I hadn't listened to those songs in years. (no offense or implication Sammo. Just the thread title sparked an odd almost forgotten memory).

I never listen to the radio when I am running a piece of machinery these days.
MAYBE a little 560 AM in the Combine. Only when the kids are with me.
I am MAGA.

Gruff, trust me man, I am not offended......grin
When you're young you don't really give a chit, jam out!
My 10 year old nephew likes to ride in the ol' JD 4450 while I bale hay. First day he asked if it had a radio. I said yeah but we aren't listening to it.
Why not?
Because we are listening to the diesel do the singing.
Now we sing stupid ass, made up songs to each other about goofy chit. I get a kick out of it!

Jim, I don't mind the radio in the pickup(sometimes) but anymore could do without it.
Music is good with beer and I rarely drink outside of the house...
Ethan, nephew is still small enough that he gets by sitting on the lowered armrest. Actually not a bad spot.
But yeah, a buddy seat would be sweet. Only cost another $100k!

You should be an eye dr and listen to little old 90 year old ladies cry about how they still cant see 20/20 and read the lifestyle required newspaper with their new specs after you told them 30 times they are gradually going central vision blind from macular degeneration from living too fughking long.

Campfire pals, please ponder, discuss and add your own introspective observations. Deep thought #1. Sam doesn't realize we have humans eyes that are side by side and not one on top of each other so he doesn't think to turn the phone on its side.  . Of course, I can't say for ants. Pugs, you telling me these things work sideways?! Mine doesn't seem to for video Sam. Of course, it's a model that's been obsolete since before The Donald was elected, so what do I know.

God bless you bro. Grow me a fuggin steak. I do feel for you re the money per hour you make. Get some ear buds and listen to Hannity and Rush or risk going stark raving crazy rather than contemplating becoming a killer of little old ladies.

I was going to suggest borrowing Jim's Richard, but seems you have one in the making already. Nothing like boring work to get the mind in gear. Brainstorming can be fun. As long as the rest of the world doesn't hear me that is.

Jim, might I suggest teaching Richard Boy...............
Put Another Log on the Fire?
It's a song the women in his life will love later on.
If he starts up while in the house with mom, especially if he lights into it when she asks him to do something, his life could be more interesting than it is today.
