Pluggers by Rick McKee for September 01, 2024

So if you drive your 40 year old pickup to the mailbox, you’re not?

So if you drive your garden tractor with mower attachment to the mailbox, you’re not? No fair cutting the grass around the mailbox.

He would have done better to just put the period after ‘mail’, and dropped the last clause entirely.

I have seen this years ago.

Yes I Do that on the days when I cut the Grass ;-) Why come back when I’m already there ?

Me was thoughts then he a farmer.

The mailbox flag’s on the wrong side!

Anyone here does that?

I do that from time to time, but it’s aggravating having to climb off it to get to the box. And then there’s no mail!

When I first moved to Oregon my driveway was 2907 1/3 ft long and another 400 ft to the mail box. Fortunately, only uphill in one direction.

I am a Plugger but to get my mail, all I have to do is open my front door. The mailbox is on the wall right outside the door. Easy, and think of the gas I save.

I do sometimes on my JohnDeere 4044m especially if I’m working on the road.

We just drove out in the car.

LOL.. have seen that as a kid when visiting my great grandparent’s farm.

My grandpa, several aunts and uncles and cousins lived on the same 1 mile square plot and we never drove the tractor out to the road to get the mail. We might have stopped while plowing and walked over when we got close but using the farm equipement for that would have been wasteful. “That is what God gave you legs for boy!”

Plugger doesn’t trust his mule for that task.

You’re even more of a plugger if you drive yer tractor to town to visit the local tavern.

or you live in the country and your driveway is longer than some city peoples commute

You’re a real plugger if you do it at 5:30 a.m. :)

I often ride my horse or my ATV. My drive is just short of a mile : )

I resemble that remark.

Horseback. No saddle. The horse knows the way there and back… and probably the time of day. And not to bother on Sundays.

It seemed to me that farmers in Rajasthan, India only used their tractors to go to town. Fieldwork was all on foot.

I wonder if he’s ever thought about wearing a suit while driving a tractor. Like Oliver did on Green Acres.

Texan: My ranch is so big, it takes half a day in my pickup truck to get to the mailbox.Easterner: Oh, I have a truck like that, too.

I am a Plugger. I don’t have a tractor and it’s only thirty feet to the street, so I use my size ten feet to transport me to the block mailbox which is in the easment next to my driveway.

I sleep in my mailbox. I don’t get much mail because it is twenty feet above the ground.
