Wednesday Windage: Ruger Super Single Six

Tuesday Torque: Stover 7 HP and Buzz Saw!

 This busy display was next to the sawmill at Boonville, making firewood out of slabs off the green chain. The proximity of the blade to hands has always made me a bit nervous, but it's no problem if you maintain your attentiveness while working. The fuel pump was not working on the engine so the operator was adding fuel to the carburetor reservoir while the engine ran. Risky.

Weekend Steam III: Sorghum At Boonville!

 Susan and I made a trip over to Boonville, IN on Friday and had a few great hours before we hurried back to take care of the dogs. Beautiful Day!  The sorghum shack smelled heavenly.

Weekend Steam II: I Want One Of These!

 Great One, Merle!  I need one of these!

Weekend Steam: AI Reports On Big Boy 4014

 Thanks, Merle! That appears to be mostly good info. Compounding was tried and used for a while, but superheaters improved efficiency without the problems of compounding locos, and the steam era finished out with simple engines.

Crunchers!

Every morning, every evening, and often in the middle of the day, we have acorn crunchers in the yard. This morning there were a dozen, all antlerless, mothers and their young'uns.

There are a lot of deer in the neighborhood. I had to go out after dark last night, and a herd of deer crossed the road in front of me. A nice buck nearly ran into me, but I shut down in time to miss him.  Had to dodge a few raccoons, too!
