Gary Bahre and I went over to the Southern Indiana Antique Machinery show today and had a good time. Big Old Oilfield engines were the feature this time, and every one was a beauty. Tony Sage always has a nice display. He brought an engine he rescued and restored, and it would knock your eyes out. There were a bunch of yellow-dog lanterns burning, and many of the photos look like the camera has light leaks because of the oil smoke from those lanterns. Some photos and video will follow as I look at them and process them.
HMMM, not familiar with yellow dog lanterns.....
ReplyDeleteThey say that the two flames look like a dog staring at you. That is probably a bit spooky out in the oil patch wilderness. They burned crude in them, and the smell with kero and diesel cannot be the same.
