I can wait. LOLMite be a while gittin' there on a 6mph wind
It should arrive just about June of 2025 I figure
Yea just my luck.
I like
where's the recliners and the big screen.
I offered 60 grand. No way....so....
More than I can pay I'd just piss the guy off with an offer I could afford.
So yesterday, we took a family day trip to a place called Spring Mill. It’s an old town that was founded in 1816, abandoned after the civil war and eventually purchased by the State in 1916. All these buildings are the original structures from the original town. The mill dates to 1816, the others are as new as 1829. They have been restored back in 1934 but not until just this summer when the mill wheel and trough needed restored.
The state now has a nearly year round crew of reenactors manning each building.
Pretty creepy feeling but pretty cool never the less.
The park is also home to the Virgil “Gus” Grissom Memorial and museum. Which houses Molly Brown, the Gemini 3 capsule that Grissom and John Young piloted in Gemini 3. Grissom’s home town and house are mere minutes down the road from here.
Grissom’s space suit from Mercury 2, the infamous mission that sank the capsule, Liberty Bell 7, is also home here as it some personal effect. Grissom was amongst those killed in the Apollo 1 fire in January 1967.

Would be fun to see it all.
I could not afford it either...
Afternoon was out winterizing the travel trailer, and getting the battery tender hooked up. Went in the shop and just had no motivation to do anything in there. Just looked at the cars and what I need to do to fit the second fender on the D150.
Not much done here either Dave.
Come on over in about April/May. Mill is supposed to be fully operational by then
Would enjoy the visit and the old time Mill.
Got pellets hauled, rounded up volunteers to help with getting 80 bags in the basement. We use a slide that drops them in an area right where we stack them.
Jacked up the part of the barn that was really settled. Hope to splice in the pole tomorrow. Neighbour loaned me his teeny excavator to help with the digging. Except it has backhoe controls,cant be switched to excavator controls. I think. Its wierd to operate.
