Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

I'll make that loop one day. Were you camping or hotelin? Wish I'd have known you could have checked out a tractor in ND for me, lol.

Hotels. I wouldn't pull a camper that far, and it would have cost more to do so. Knocked 2 states off my list, only 4 to go to have visited all 50. Originally we were going to the west coast and take 3 weeks, but will leave that for another trip. Was within a few miles of Montana and Wyoming, but we've been there before. Did hit Teddy Roosevelt NP in ND, then down thru Badlands in SD.

We've been to the teddy R parks many times. Have friends just north of there. So you weren't out to look at a tractor? This photo was taken while doing the Maah Daah Hey

Started our trip with a visit to Dad, he was doing better than the last time I was there, so that was the deciding factor to head west. My next older brother and his wife met us for supper the first night. The next day we went up to SugarCreek Ohio, to the Age of Steam Roundhouse. A private collection of steam locomotives. 18 Bays full of old steam, and the capability to rebuild. They currently have 1 certified, and another will be soon.

SugerCreek is also the home of the worlds largest Coo Coo clock, that plays every half hour.

while waiting for it to play, we went around the corner to a hot dog / ice cream stand that was good. Right across the street, I discovered the GeoThermal supply house where I bought my geothermal loop pumps.
Supper that night was at the Der Dutchman restaurant, place we ate at a lot growing up..

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 2.8C and it's presently 17.7C, clear with a wee breeze.

A successful 'into town' excursion yesterday and, according to my local hardware store "Mitre 10", if I spend just A$48 more I will achieve GOLD STATUS. What that will entail remains to be seen but it surely can't match the accolades and privileges received when I reached Super Star Member here on TBN!

I did get the woodheater flue whacked/cleaned and re-built the fire in it.

Nothing planned for today. That's about it, take care all.

Bill, or a scully fitting with a scully on the oil hose from the oil truck, then that whistle will work

Dennis, thanks for the beautiful pics

Mostly, some of the engines are capable of being fired up. They had pulled one outside and was washing it.
One in repair shop was almost ready for use, was being recertified.
Tour was 2 hrs long. The turn table originally from Hagerstown MD, near me.
All built and paid for by a millionaire train lover. Awesome facility.
