Good morning Pat and Chris.
That's a great looking tractor you've got there Wayne. My father-in-law would have loved that show. He's a steam fitter/engineer by trade and loves old tractors. He's got two old Fords and an International Farmall that he's working on fixing up. One of the Fords still gets used to fix up their road and driveway a few times a year.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 57.5 with 78% humidity.
Made it home last night from the GTG. Wonderful adventure and fantastic time visiting with all.
In addition to having to experience Portland Metro twice, I got to experienced train wrecks, oil fires, a USCG Helo making low pass flybys of said train wreck and oil fire, 30 miles of backed up bumper to bumper traffic, crossing a bridge that wasn't wide enough for two cars to pass on let alone a full sized pickup & camper and a semi with 48 foot trailer that decided to take out my extended RV mirror while I scraped railing on the other side....but when I got to the GTG it was a blast and had a grand time.
Time to get back to the routine grind stone. Got the tanks cleaned out on the camper this morning, but the rest will have to wait a bit. Have to go pickup some paperwork for the Warden this morning at her place of employment and then get her into the Cardiologist at 1000 hrs.

They have many steam powered tractors there too but couldn't get any good shots of them, I didn't count how many there was but think it had to be close to 50 tractors in total at least. There was another barn that was locked up from the public so have no idea what they have stashed away in there..

Hey all! Its been awhile to say the least. Im now stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado. My '93 is out here with me. Things seem to be going ok I just have some things to work on, who doesnt though?
Anyhow, need to resolve the squeak in my steering. Nothing good is coming from it and its killing my hearing faster than the Army can...

Evening Ford fans'. What a day, got home ate dinner and started putting the place back together after the carpet guy came out and did he's thing the fun part we get to do it all over again since the carpet was installed wrong. All the fun of moving without the move.
Hoping everyone had a good day.

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Spent most of the day on the run and just now getting back home.
Evan, scraping the guard rail just took a little paint off of the right rear camper jack lower mounting bracket and bent it a little. The simultaneous contact with the 18 wheeler cracked the RV mirror and popped the convex off on the drivers door. Stopped at Freddy's and got a big rectangular convex stick on mirror for $3 and stuck it over the broke glass on the RV mirror. I like it better than before.
The jack lower mounting bracket can probably be bent back and painted so that it will look like new. Just to be on the safe side I stopped at my RV repair shop and he gave me a brand new lower mount bracket for free! So I'll just swap them out and keep the old one for a spare.
Was going to post a pic of the train wreck/fire and some of the traffic but too pooped tonight. Will try to get some up tomorrow.
