Good image of a distributor of Massey equipment. The store is now Donelan's Jewelry Store. Located at 39.39734,-101.045836 looking east on google maps street view. Jeff [Reply]   [No Email]

The store front line is still very much the same. Looks like the hotel has been torn down. enjoy Jeff [Reply]  [No Email]

You know, it's remarkable how little is taught in school about the dust bowl and the depression. [Reply]  [No Email]

Hey there were so many dead baby stories and sand in the sugarbowl stories I was grossing out, didn't turn it off, but it turned me off! Wait till the Ogalalla goes down to the point a pump can't draw any up the pipe at all... what did Mark Twain say, whiskey's fer drinkin', water's fer fightin'... and my TV is so old it couldn't focus on the signs, but I remember seeing the shot, it was on here Sunday and Monday PM...

My theory is with the earth warming and the great lakes having such a large percentage of the fresh water that real estate in Michigan, Wisconsin, Ontario, etc., etc., will skyrocket at some point... after we are gone of course.

I saw a lot of old tractors in the footage they had. Tony.....if it's a tube set there is a focus control in the back of it, might be a hole for you to stick a screwdriver, might need to take the back off. Or maybe it's just time for a new set! Hey, if ya stopped buying up all the old MF inventory maybe you could get one! [Reply]  [No Email]

I took about 22KV from one probably 10 years ago. Went in my elbow and out my finger, left an entry and an exit wound........I haven't been the same since. :? [Reply]  [No Email]
