B-fast was good. One of the guys brought cinnamon rolls just like my mother made.
Morning.
Morning Hoppy
Here's a few more. First one was in the barn -cuts and ties corn stalks. Some pretty cool engineering for something that is probably 100 years old. Then a few from the tobacco shed. A leaf stripper, cigar roller, a small cider press and the rest of the shed/'museum'.. This is an old farm that serves as their permanent showgrounds. They get a LOT of tractors. I assume most are local and drive in, cause there were not many trailers there. Also have tractor pulls. Only thing running while I was there was little kids on lawnmowers. No doubt fun for them, but not to exiting. LOL. They get the old steam powered monstrosities up there later in the day.
Bout time you rolled out. Dog start chewing your ear?
I love history and it is amazing to me all the work that was accomplished with the older machines.
Ha...the ole corn binder. Believe it or not I have quite a few hours sitting on one. I think it is still in the fence row at the old home place.
In my younger dreamer days I wanted to build a shop run off of the water power from the stream
Morning Craig, any luck selling the cars?
I got people talking so that's a positive.
Good stuff right there.

My friend with the far junkyard has at least 100 restored tractors and who know what is around un restored. Tim and I saw just a small amount of them
