For the children

We had an art camp for the childrens ministry this week. Some of the older kids, 5th and 6th graders, helped me paint our logo on the wall. That cealing is a 10 footer, to give you an idea of the size.

Grounded





While it is amazing to see the Naval Aviation history preserved at Pensacola, the enthusiast in me of all things mechanical can't help but long to see these beasts of the air scream alive and rip open the sky.

Quote of the day.



Douglas Adams

One can only assume that Mr Adams owned a Troublehead.

Diesel Pushers

I grew up on the Ohio river (or as the Indians called it, the great muddy water). All my life I've listened to these bid tug boats labor, sometimes with, sometimes against the current, moving their cargo, usually coal, up and down the big river.

Ain't it my luck?!?

Finally squeezed out a little time to go for a ride and it was too freakin' hot to enjoy it!! 106*f in Brownstown when we rolled through. On a positive note, Caroline performed flawlessly.

West Baden Springs Hotel

















If you plan to visit the Hoosier pride this place is worth a look. Rich history, a magnificent feat of civil engineering, and some some great roads to boot. You will be impressed with this vast domed atrium, superb gardens, and wonderfully restored architecture. West Baden Springs is also the birth place of Indianas favorite Bird, Larry that is.

In charge


At the tractor parade.

At the fair




Tractor showin'



Makin' a good tool great!





A while back I laser cut and welded up this handy little handle for my Jims sprocket shaft bearing/seal driver tool. It did away with the awkward use of a very large adjustable wrench.
