    Who was it that said the majority of carb problems are spark? A weak spark requires more fuel to ignite. Thus, the choke.

    Vermeer Rake should I trailer or pull home?

    Personally, I would trailer it. Yes, has bearings and good tires? No suspension. Is that 100 miles of nice smooth road? Somehow, I doubt it. If it hangs out the back of a trailer, flag it. Try to do the 100 miles in daylight. Be sure to secure it to the trailer with chains and binders.

    That is the way his surgery will be, a rod in the leg.

    No argument. So much effort was put into this using custom built moveable scaffolds and a lift when doing all of the framing and sheeting. I have worried since the project started. I wanted him to use shingles instead of steel.

    Christmas light parade

    Did anyone here go to the Goliad, Texas Christmas Light Parade last night? My sister and her family were there and she sent 5 pictures of nicely decorated tractors. 2 of them were possibly Ford Ns or Fergusons. She heard someone say that they were Fergies, but I'm not convinced. Picture...

    listening to a radio while working

    We had a radio in the barn that I would listen to when alone working on farm machines or my car. I enjoyed Patterns in Music on WJR Radio, Detroit, with Karl Haas. (One year, Hass was director of music at Interlochen Music Camp.) I learned that there was more to music than the teen pop. Since...
