Tuesday Torque: Iowa-80 Trucking Museum

 Merle found a good place....Many Thanks, Merle! There are many videos of this museum at Walcott, Iowa. They are also on Facebook.

Widowmakers From The Road

 I am seeing lots of widowmakers along the road. Emerald ash borer is the cause of many, and I have started taking photos. They are everywhere, and going into McLeansboro we look at an entire ash tree that is set to fall into Highway 242. Carry your chainsaw with you.

Back To The Old Grind!

Had Enough Winter?

 Forty Two feet of snow up there in the Sierras this winter. Makes our Arctic breezes and flurries seem kinda pitiful. We really should be seeing morels now instead of snow pellets! Thanks, Merle, for telling us about the Donner Pass videos!

Weekend Steam: Ravenglass And Eskdale Railway

 Good One, Merle! Many Thanks!

Appropriate Sentiments For The Day

What I Think Of....

 

...is Patti putting all of these daffodils in the ground one fall. I was making holes, Patti was planting, while sitting on the ground, and Susan was finishing and firming each bulb. The ground was dry and almost brick-hard. This was Patti's project, and it made the World a brighter place. 

They Are Keeping An Eye On Us!

If we make too much noise with the dogs the owls will fly off the nest, but they stay close and wait for us to leave.

 

Tuesday Torque: Two Nice Moguls At Rollag

 These two IHC Moguls were on display September 2022 at the Western Minnesota Steam Threshers' Reunion.  These are high-end engines, and most farmers opted for less expensive options to power machines around the farm. 

Well Dang.

 We did not handle the time change well. Maybe this will make up for it with you.

Back To The Old Grind!
