 Everyone Merry Christmas. Hopefully your day has went great or is going great. I had a wonderful day This is a story time video some of you guys might have Seen or heard the clip in a video of a story. I told But there's something I want to add to that. I'll show you the clip, but let me explain first So the clip you are about to see is the clip you're about to see is real The names have not been changed to protect any innocence because I'm not innocent Listen so Now that story I told you guys I wasn't even thinking For those of you that has not seen this clip it's kind of a spoiler alert, but not so bad It'll make sense once you get to the end of the clip I Wasn't even thinking at that time because I was so caught up in in memories and you know looking back on things and you know Remember things I did with my father. I Actually have pictures Now in this video, I'm gonna be talking a little bit about some old antique tractors We're talking to a farmer. Okay. Now this this clip you see was filmed April Just fell out of his chair. You're right. Oh He's limping Okay, so But it was filmed April 22nd 2022. Okay, so a year and a half or so ago whatever But I Wasn't even thinking at the time that when I went back to the place like I said at the end of this clip It'll make sense when I went back to that place. I actually took pictures of That old tractor where the house was so I'm gonna play the story and at the end all Put the pictures It'll make sense trust me. Okay, so here's here's the clip and I totally forgot about these pictures and so Take a look at it and I'll be back with you guys Okay, so story time here It's not a scary story. It's not really a funny story, but it's very interesting story That I have a memory of me and my father When I was 13 years old I Remember I was 13 because everyone remembers when they turn to teenagers, right? I'm a teenager now. Yeah So, you know My dad was a scrapper. That's how he raised us. He And my mom was they called him maids then not housekeepers Even though it's housekeeping, but they were maids. She was she that's what she would say I'm a maid at the holiday and worked there for years couple of my sisters worked there and my brother worked there I never worked it. Well, I take it back. I did work for a carpet company We laid carpet in there right after the fire. That's another interesting story for another story time But when I was 16, that was my first job So I kind of worked there, but not for them so But then a lot of scrapping on cars hold a lot of cars Those aren't speaking of cars. There's our cars here and those are airboats, so but so We'd just be scrapping and that's when you had dumps you would just go There wasn't a paid landfill. I mean people just drive down the road Drive a road down over an embankment or whatever there'd be a dump Or whatever just where the locals would take their garbage and dump it and we go get pop cans and beer cans and beer bottles and whatever and Always driving around we'd you know see some old cars dad would stop bang on the door You know, we won't get rid of them cars sure and we'd scrap them Keep the good stuff off of them and take them to the crusher and then we saw all you know the engines transmissions Whatever I could get Was good But that's how that works so We was out just running the back roads one day just kind of cruising around, you know It was on a Friday afternoon And he called me marked It's like hey Martin, I want swing past the old house up here It's a couple cars and couple old tractors sitting there. I want to go check on nobody's ever home But there was like fields around it, you know hay fields so sure enough we I'm past there and These tractors were old. They were like in the 20s and there was an old an old Volkswagen bug an Old Nash Metropolitan when there's little tiny cars and there was a station wagon of some sort I can't remember but it was from the 50s or 60s and But I think those are no rambler Anyway, these cars were no good. I mean they they there wasn't nothing save of one They just went straight to scrap yard pretty much, but So we swing past and pulled down this old muddy-ass driveway, you know and It opened up to the old or an old barn there weeds growing up around it an old Big old two-story farmhouse over on the left sure enough there was a guy Sitting there At his truck and he had his tractor there and stuff so he had been cutting hay that day old man I remember his name to this day Frank. He was 80 years old Remember that that was his family farm okay, and Dad said You know I've been by here before I've seen them old course and them tractors sitting out there He said, you know would you be interested in Getting hauled out of here. He was like, well, yeah, he said they ain't no count But you're welcome him if you want to haul him out of here. That's the way, you know, I'm just scrapping They'll just go scrap yard, you know, I Believe I still got the titles for them things dad's like why don't need the titles, you know I'm just like I said they're gonna scrap your knees like I bet I bet you we can find them titles That's like, okay fine, but he says, you know them old tractors there He said I really like to hang on to them. They've been in my family as long as I can remember Shoot so We got talking about me said that the old international it was an old farm all Old steel both of them that one was a farm all one was a John Deere. I think the John Deere was an a I can't remember what the farm all was. It was old. I maybe even before 20s, but he says How'd he say that my pappy The day he died was out working farm and he drove that tractor in there. That's where he parked it and He up and died on us that night So he says and that's where it sat and that's where it sat ever since he said you don't mind I just like kind of hang on to them. They're like an old friend to me. That's like, yeah, sure. No problem But yeah, he says yeah the last time that ran he says about 40 year ago It drove up there and no one started it ever since That was like wow, you know, that's a long time and he says, you know come think of it. He says He says I haven't been in that house in over 40 years and he says no one I know has been in this house over 40 years They said I'll bet them titles and cars in the house They were like, well, that's kind of cool. He said That's why I come out here to get away from him. I know it was an accident. He's in his trunk and set the alarm off, but uh so That was like, well, yeah, we do that and he says, well, let me go out here at the barn for for a minute out here Yonder and I'll be back. That's like, okay, and we hear him shuffling around any old barn pretty soon. He's like I'm going over here a minute. Let me show you something So we go over there to this barn You can tell it ain't been I mean when he when he ain't that barn door open just enough for us to get in it was pushing dirt and weeds and and we walked in there and there was a 19 29 I think it was an old Ford pretty sure hard to remember like I said, I was 13 or 53 now so do the math but it was a 1929 I do remember that and We walked in there and that thing other than an inch of dust on it was pretty much mint Of course the tires were all rotted off of it, but the interior was still good it was cracking because of the leather interior and stuff and And I just want to show you this belong my papi as well, of course, it's not for sale boys Just wanted to share that with you. I was like, oh, thank you. You know because it's getting interesting He said now what I come in here for that was like, I don't know. He's he's told us to wait over there There it is over there on that wall. So he goes Rummaging over along there was other stuff in there farm implements and stuff And other spreaders and stuff been in there for 30 years, you know And over along the wall was an old sickle You know a sickle, right? No, not a tricycle not that kind of sickle. It's a cutting implement shape like a C Oh, okay, you know like the russian symbol. Yeah He said now let's go over to the house. He says go over to the house. That's what he says. Let's go over to the house So we go make our way over the house. Of course. He's walking old, you know And telling us stories on the way to house which was only about 50 yards, but Took forever to get there, but that it was it was cool and uh We go over the back door and this I mean this house is just like Like you see the like some of the Urban exploring I've done and others on here on youtube I mean, that's just what it looked like It was never boarded up, but it was locked up And he says, you know, we haven't been in this house since pap died over 40 years ago And he still had a key to the place He pulls the key out of his pocket But he had it on a key ring with a whole bunch of other keys. You know old guys are It was an old skeleton key original key to the house The house was built in the late 1800s, but it would always been in the family so we get to chopping down these weeds to get to the door and we get to the back door and uh He comes up with that key and he hands it to my dad and he said that should be the key there that'll work So dad tries and sure enough that door unlocked I was kind of a little hard to open because you know, it hadn't been open in 40 years There's cobwebs on it. Dad wouldn't you know, he moves cobwebs. So we open up the door and he says now I'm gonna tell you boys something there might be some stuff you might be interested in here Like he said nobody been in there for 40 years And we walked in and he said yep other than some cobwebs and dust just where I remember it and uh he um Maybe was 60 years. Anyway, I know he kept saying 40 years, but uh Everything was just like other than the cobwebs and dust It looked like somebody just walked out of there and shut the door, which kind of that's what they did uh, the farm passed on to On to his dad and then his dad passed it on to him and they just never went in there wasn't any reason to And he says I remember pat having titles in them cars If something never happened to me, he says this is where the important stuff is And he walks over to an old kitchen drawer and pulled it out There's titles in cars all three of them Right there He said no, I can't sign them over to you boys There were my packs But at least now you have some proof That's like all right, so we got to looking around and and i'm telling you there There was stuff in there from the 1800s early 1900s and Just in mint perfect mint condition It was amazing, you know and We was looking at him. He's like if you boys are interested in any of this I'll come off of some of it for you You know after about two hours going through the house. I mean it was amazing Still had canned jars of food, you know when they did the old canning old mason jars And I'll bet you could still hate it But yeah, I'm serious And the the refrigerator wasn't actually Kind of a refrigerator. It was what they called an ice box Okay, you didn't plug it in. It was just a big cooler Up on top there was a square place and you would put dry ice in there and close it And that dry ice the cold air would come down and keep it cold of course There wasn't nothing nothing that but I mean everything was still there and and And he says, you know, he says I got a step outside boys This is kind of emotional for me. That's like, yeah, okay. So you take your time. You look around all you want And uh, so he went outside and dad looked at me and shiky said mark We can't buy any of this stuff He said this is Unbelievable. It's just like a museum, you know He said we can't take this stuff and make money on it, which we could have He says, you know, this is that man. Oh, this is his Rememberance, you know, and it was just when we went back outside, you know, dad told me he told him, you know Look, we can't do it, you know, and he says, you know, I understand I understand You know and and dad told him, you know, just for you sharing the stories and you know the The uh and letting us take a tour of this beautiful house. He said, um You know that that's just more than anyone could ever ask for he says we we can't buy any of your things, you know Dad told me, you know, there's a lot of stuff in there worth a lot of money, but he says I I can't do it I'm not the one and that guy just he had tears in his eyes and he said, you know, I thank you boys I really thank you and uh But and then he went on to tell us some more stories like he told us about Christmases and Thanksgiving's and the birthday parties and the weddings they've had there You know the the good times you could just see a twink when he's eye coming back, you know There's one we first met him. Like I said, he was really plaiting everything But it's just you could see the age and the tiredness on his face But after he got out of that house and he started talking about some more stories You could just see his face light up, you know so, um That was when I was 13 and I remember when I was in my early 20s I I drove out there remembered how to get there because we'd been past a lot I remembered how we get how to get there and I went out there and the house had been burnt down Oh, no Yeah, the house had been burnt down Uh, they think it was struck by lightning, but it had been burnt down for several years before I seen it burned down you could tell And I had stopped and talked to one of the neighbors about it and they said, yeah, um, there was a big That a big lightning storm have a lot of them in Ohio And uh, there was a big lightning storm and That's what they figured because the neighbors they lived about a half a mile away, but they heard this big loud crack And like 10 15 minutes later they could see the smoke and they thought maybe it was the barn But it turned out it was the house All that stuff was in it and What a shame But true story guys and yes Also some memories of my my father, you know rusty soul So I like to you know reflect back on things like that sometimes and Uh It brings joy to me having that memories with my father, you know Just going out riding around in the old record, you know And they it wasn't stored by he made his own record built his own booms put his own winches on and Hook onto a car raise it up and go Yeah, yeah, just uh some of the stories I could tell you that's why I like having story time.
