Weekend Steam: Amazing Restoration!
This video is a fascinating look at the restoration of a toy locomotive. I think these were called piddlers back when they were popular because the oscillating engine makes little puddles all over. Many Thanks to Merle for spotting good videos like this one. The vid cannot be embedded, so click on the photo to go over to YouTube to watch.

Deutz Otto 6 HP Engine, 1924
We had a guest in our driveway today, a 6 horsepower Deutz Otto engine built in 1924. Our friend, ILEngineGuy bought this engine at auction, and every part was stuck. He had it running in five weeks with no broken or stripped parts. This engine was built in Germany, and shipped to Argentina. It still has original black paint. This is a rare and remarkable engine! If you want to see this engine up close and personal, go to the SIAM show at Evansville, Indiana Friday or Saturday, June 10 and 11. It will also be at the American Thresherman Show at Pinckneyville, Illinois in August 2022.

Invulnerable?
Sooner or later, there is going to be a busted head, a saw in a femur or forehead, and someone backed over by the loader. The Mrs was at the County Seat and saw this action after a big old decadent pin oak was taken down.

Weekend Steam: Let's Look At Some Little Engines
I love model locomotives, Merle! Thank You for the links!
Susan's Garden Update
Susan provides a pleasant tour of our garden. Cabbage moths have been flitting around, so this morning she was up early, applying Sevin dust to kill the little blighters. We had three tenths inch of rain the other day, and rain is forecast, so we are not having to water. We tilled up a squash patch out by the road and will be planting that today. We also worked up and planted our wildlife food plot this week, and finished that just before it rained. We will be making kraut and canning beets before Susan has her other hip done.
