Back To The Old Grind!

Weekend Steam II: Kory Anderson's Case 150 Pulling 36 Bottoms

 This was the debut of Kory's big project in 2018. Thank You, Merle, for sending the link! Surely there is someone who wants to build one of their own. One Case 150 in the World is not enough! Follow Anderson Industries on Facebook to keep up with the 150.

Weekend Steam: Hillcrest Lumber Shay Locomotive

 It does my heart good to see that Shay locos are still operating. They never got important roles in movies and TV, but they are great for tourist railroads.  Thanks for the pick, Merle!

Heli-Crop Dusting

 I got lucky today and enjoyed a bit of an air show. The pilot wasn't happy with the nurse truck being parked on the road next to the distribution line, and he had the driver move down the road. There still was a lot of flying close to the lines.

Cobbler Comin' Up Soon!

 Blackberries from the garden, plums courtesy of Sally, and Lazy Wife Greasy Beans. Those were the third most popular bean in 1907. They also can be used as a shelly bean. 

Yum! That didn't last long.

Tuesday Torque: Ottawa Log Saws

 One of the neat machines you will see at engine shows is the log saw. These were made way back in B.C., Before Chainsaws! They are fun to watch, and are a bit more exciting than an engine that is not doing any work. The attachment  for a tractor is a new one for me. I will be sticking to my chainsaws, I think.

Independence Day Weiner Roast Extravaganza!

Susan and I go hog-wild, burn a brush pile, and put mustard plus ketchup on  our hot dogs. Soft tortillas are great for eating a hot dog. They wrap up neat and don't dribble the trimmings all over you! We hope your Fourth was Glorious, too! Kroger All Beef Hot Dogs! Susan's homemade relish from her garden!
