Weekend Steam: A Wee Bit Of Heaven

During breaks at the Old Threshers Steam Traction School we strolled through the machinery building to admire the sleeping iron housed there until the Labor Day show. Looking down the row I see: Port Huron, Advance Rumely, Huber, Reeves, Case, Case, Minneapolis, Gaar-Scott, GaarScott, Avery return flue, and on the right side, Wood Brothers, and Nichols and Shepherd.

EJ was checking out the new-fangled internal combustion powered tractors. It looks like he has his Walter Mitty goggles on as he surveys this big Twin City tractor.

There's a HUGE steam engine fest in PA this weekend. Blog friends are going, but it's too far to travel in that I have to leave again in the morning to head back West again. (sigh).

Hope next summer allows for a bit more time for such things.

This weekend we hope to fight back the grass that is up around our knees. We spoke to EJ, and he is going to spend another week in lovely Batesville, MS. We are hoping to go to the show at Evansville, IN next month. I hope your travels are safe.
