Garden Is Looking Good


 The garden is doing well, but we have rabbits or chipmunks eating the sweet potatoes.

Nasty Cherrybark Oak

The shooting club where we hang out had a nasty removal problem. The good part was there are no high value or dangerous targets, so I took a couple saws and attacked it. The tree that is still standing has a widowmaker hanging, and a contractor with a bucket truck will be needed for that. Don't go looking for takedowns like this one. Run the other way if you see one!

Tuesday Torque: Bam-Bam-Bamford!

 I love seeing engines from around the world and seeing how they start and run. It seems that engine enthusiasts seek the same thrills no matter where they live. Thanks for the pick, Merle!

Weekend Steam II: Humble And Sons Portable Engine

 About twenty of these were built around the turn of the Twentieth Century, and three remain. This is a break-in run of a newly restored engine.  Thanks, Merle!

The Joy Of Big Radial Engines!

 I had a brief free airshow thrill! Most of the crop dusters in recent years are turboprop powered, but a Pratt and Whitney radial was pulling this Ag Cat biplane yesterday. You gotta love the sound of these great engines.
