Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.

Hearing a girlfriend exclaiming, "Oh, God." Ay, Papi !!! 😂 He left out the part about hearing it from the next room......

The sound of fresh milk coming straight from the cow, and hitting the bottom of a tin bucket .

Sitting here working on my second cup of coffee as the freight train moves east toward Brainerd, blowing it's horn as it crosses the intersection nearby. Harkens back to a simpler place and time of my youth when you could tell it was 9:30 p.m. as that's when the southbound freight train crossed a nearby road and blew it's horn. It was very punctual. You could set your watch by it and never be off more than a couple minutes. Pleasant memories. What were some sounds you always enjoyed hearing? Another was during fall harvest time when the crops were being worked. Tractors, combines, and hay wagon trains all putting in their time, getting the crops out of the field before the snow flew. I had 3 blackhawks buzz my place while enjoying a cup. I’m guessing they are heading into the fire zone.

The sound of Bullfrogs in the summertime with the bedroom window open. They would sing me to sleep every night

The sound of my grandpa hollering “come boss” to the cows when it was time to come into the barn.

Just sitting in the truck a few minutes ago, listening to the rain beat on the roof. Nice heavy rain. Reminded me of sleeping under a tin roof house or barn. House I grew up in had a tin roof. Man I miss that sound and you never get better sleep!
Some mornings, it just does not feel worth it to chew through the straps!~

There you go. Hear the strong squirts from Grandads hand splashing the half full 2 gallon milk pail.

Steam whistles and the sound of steam engines pulling a load, single stage afterburners lighting, the hum of the plants at night in my home town.

The sound of my Stevens single shot 20 gauge right after a rooster pheasant flew out of a weed row while I was walking the edge of an un-picked corn field. Pheasant scared the living hell out of me and the 20 broke the early morning silence like a clap of thunder. I can still see the feathers floating to the ground and hear the tall wheat stubble in the next field rustling as the bird thrashed his wings for a few moments.. I walked home with the long tail feathers sticking out of my vest pouch.

We still have a noon whistle!! Yeah, I remember that, too, when I was a kid. The noon air raid siren. Used to scare me a little, sometimes, especially after seeing or hearing something about how Russia might launch nukes at us.
