Tuesday Torque: Baby Cat
I have a thing for homemade buggies for getting around engine shows. This little Cat is a winner!

Making Sweet Sorghum Syrup
If you want to know how to make sorghum molasses, all you have to do is search for it on YouTube. There are a bunch of videos that will teach you the basics. I'm hoping we can get over to Boonville for the fall show and pick up a couple quarts.
Back To The Old Grind!

That's a thrill, even on your computer screen! Thanks, Merle!

Weekend Steam: Lartigue Steam Monorail
Merle, this is a new one for me. I have never heard of this contraption. It looks like an interesting concept, but not suited for the motive force at the time. Thanks Merle, for spotting this one!
Union Pacific Big Boy Schedule, Saturday August 28, SW Illinois!
Saturday is the day if you live in eastern Missouri or Southern Illinois to see the Big Boy steaming up the river to St. Louis. Here's the schedule and the link (Click The Schedule.) to the UP site. Note that times are Central Time. No mention of Standard or Daylight Saving. Assume you should be there early if you go, so you don't miss it.
I studied Google Earth and I think I have spotted a good vantage point for photos and video out in the country, and maybe away from crowds. Here are screen shots to help you find it, not far northwest of Praire DuRocher. Just northwest of the town turn off of Bluff Road onto Goose Lake Road and go until you are on the other side of the tracks. You will have the sun slightly at your back and the river bluffs for a backdrop. Good Luck and be sure to share your videos!
