    Ever been stopped by the highway patrol for a safety check

    I worked in an industrial salvage yard as a summer job back in the mid 70’s while going to college. We took a remote job to torch some spindle webs from a paper making machine. My job was to cut through the 12” diameter shafts so the webs could be loaded into a semi trailer. We loaded my torch...

    Silo for Saturday (Rich’s Renderings)

    My Grandsons would ask, “Grandpa, how come they built that silo in an empty field?”. Long explanation to follow. They do look lonely.

    Why do new cars/pickups still come with spare tires

    Last time changed on my car was 1973. My utility trailer in 1994. My boat trailer in 1985 and 2004. So yes, I always carry a spare tire. Had two vehicles, minivan and SUV that had the spare under the back. Always lowered the spare and unreeled the cable and liberally greased the cable with wheel...

    Silo for Saturday

    Brings back memories from 70 years ago visiting my Grandfather’s farm. Grandpa and Uncle Alan forking corn stalks into a Fox chopper, powered by a ‘29 John Deere GP. Grandpa still had a team of Belgians that pulled the wagons and the corn binder…simpler times back then.
