B-B-Baby-B-B-

Buzzards!


You must be very careful. Do Not Alarm the Mama! I don't know how far they can project vomit, and have no intention of learning!

Weekend Steam II: Marshall Portable and Rock Crusher

 You will have a great time watching this! I love the sound of a rock crusher munching cobbles into gravel. The old tractor and loader is a treat, too!  Thanks, Merle!

Weekend Steam: Berkshire Doubleheader!

 Thanks, Merle, another great one!


Rattlesnake Beans


 We got 1.07" of rain Wed/Th, and the garden is happy! Look at those 'maters comin' on!

Daily Visit

This mama and her baby are out here just about every day. I also see another fawn, but its mama is more secretive. We have NO day lilies this year, because the deer like to eat the tops. Oh Well, they are staying out of the garden. Peter Rabbit is the little troublemaker there. 


 

How Bad Is It?

 The guy behind us said our brakes smoked them Bam! We killed a deer last night, and are fine. The radiator leaks and tomorrow the adjuster will inspect it with our body man. The air bags did not deploy. That's a good thing.  Adrenaline is almost back to normal.  UPDATE: Almost $3200. 



We got it back July 21 and it looks better than new! They even gave us a new litter bag! Fender Mender in McLeansboro, IL is great!

Home Is Where The Heat Is

 We are working on restocking the woodpile. It's going pretty well.



Tuesday Torque II: Scandinavian Drama! New Chainsaws In A Thrilling Video!

 I like the auto-tune of the 90, but my 385 XP is still running like a youngster at ten years old. I'd like to have one of each, but an old man needs a lighter saw to pack around. Plus, I have a new jug and piston to put in the 359, and then it will be like new again. Nothing wrong with kicking the tires, though!

Tuesday Torque: Stickney 5 HP Engine

 This nice looking Stickney was over at Evansville during the SIAM show. The fuel pump is unusual by modern standards.
