Not My Victrola: It Will Until The Eclipse!

Weekend Steam: I'm Obsessing Over The Midwest Central

And why not?! There are sure plenty of videos to look at, and some of them are really good. This one is from 2010, before Number 9 shipped out to the Georgetown Loop.

Crankin' It Up With Brat The Cat: Old McDonald!

Gid Tanner and His Skillet Lickers recorded this classic on October 31, 1927. Just as good now as it ever was!

All That's Left Are The Late Beans

We have had some of the best drying weather I have ever seen in late summer/early fall, and the corn and beans both ripened and dried in record time this year. The combines are running everywhere I go. Our renter had this forty finished the same day he started it, then swapped headers and moved over to the beans.

Ruger's Auction To Benefit The Light Foundation

Well, I'm out before even bidding. This .38 Special Security Six from 1974 has had 26 bids at the time I am writing this, and it is a bit higher than my limit. It is a good firearm that can serve you well, and it comes with some nice premiums to sweeten the deal. Go Read All About It and place a bid if you want to be in the running. 100% of the proceeds of this auction will go to benefit the Light Foundation, and this fine firearm will sell mid-day, September 23, 2015.

Fall Will Begin This Week...

...and we have seen the proof! In spite of lies about Global Warming by money-grubbing politicians and prostituting-so-called-scientists, we have seen carnies heading south on I-57, right on schedule. There soon will be a flood of their colorful vehicles heading for warmer climes, and they will be back right on schedule next spring. Twenty-five years ago I was told that mesquite forests would inhabit Illinois in fifty years, but our oak forests are hanging tough and I haven't seen a single mesquite sprout yet. They're going to have to get a move on.

Crankin' It Up With Brat The Cat: The Goldenrod Is Blooming...

...And you know what that means! It's time to dust off one of my old favorites to celebrate the show that entertains our eyes along the highways and byways every fall.
