Those new 6.7 are very quit. Ford made that a selling point. But I'd want my diesel to be loud, but that's just me. I'm sure some people want a quiet one

Dating those high-schoolers again, are you, Trey? Gotta' help the girlfriend wash cars today?

Buena Music Association had a funnel cake stand at the fair to support their music department's programs.

Good fun at the fair today, but only one team of six fielded. Kinda' short of the years past, but considering the economy and what it takes to run that kind of rig, I'm just glad there was one there for the kids to see. Even the judge took a turn at the reins, and proved he was qualified to judge that kind of driving!

Some real nice antique carriages, and beautiful horses pulling them. Lot of real skill on display.

A few antique tractors on display, two of which were pre-1920's, but nobody was around to point out the finer details or answer questions. Then there were the green and yellow A's and AN's. Nicely restored, but not really unusual.

August chat seems slower than Summer/July chat!

I'm going to the Riffraff tech day in San Jose next weekend. Anyone else going?
