Hev,

That might do.

Interesting that among those videos was one about a different kind of pushin' and pullin'.!11

Great pictures Andre!!!! :D :D

I've been 3 hours down south contracted by a family friend to saw up a tree that fell across their pool. Wow, what a pain in the butt!! :shock: :shock: But I was paid well and kept in beers. :wink:

Two crocodiles were sitting at the side of the swamp.

The smaller one turned to the bigger one and said, “I can’t understand how you can be so much bigger than me. We’re the same age, and we were the same size as kids. I just don’t get it”.

“Well,” said the big croc, “what have you been eating?”

“Politicians. Same as you,” replied the small croc.

“Hmmm, well, where do you catch them?”

“Down the other side of the swamp near the parking lot by the Capitol.”

“Same here. Hmmm, how do you catch them?”

“Well, I crawl up under one of their Lexus cars and wait for one to unlock the car door and step out. Then I jump out, grab them by the leg, shake the shit out of them, then eat ‘em!’

“Ah!”, says the big croc, “I think I see your problem. You mustn’t shake them. By the time you finish shaking the shit out of a politician, there’s nothing left but an assh0le and a briefcase!”

:D

Geez, I wish i knew of a way to send some of this down-home wisdom to my friends, right from this forum. Some of these are priceless.

I listened to the weather today but they still didn't give how much rain we got.

You guys are gettin' all that rain out east, and it's just as dry as a popcorn fart here. Sprinkled twice in the last 3 days, and if ya scraped up all that landed in 10 acres, you wouldn't have a glass of water. :( I don't think it's rained in 3-4 weeks here. One benefit is the yard is all burned up. Don't have to mow. At today's gas prices, the 20 hp Kawasaki on the Cub costs me 10 bucks to mow the yard. :wink:

So much cool stuff lately here on the jungle, Murph's incredible layout, Andre's family, crocodile jokes, and everything else. Just a blur in Maine tonight.

Well Daisy, if you're sittin' in the deluge down east, as long as there's no lightning, you can get drunk and run some trains. :lol:

The first one is a Wilesco Stationary steam engine. This is gonna look good on my new layout operating an old time sawmill.

The second one I dont know what it is. I have to look it over a bit more.


The 3rd one no idea what it is . No markings on it. I know it's got a real old cord on it to heat up the water. The cord is in real good shape for it's age.


I knew he had these when I was a kid but I thought he got rid of them years back. I was shocked when I found them.

Mitch and Andre, yes and yes!

Hev, what cool stuff. I don't know what that second one is either, but it looks like a replica of a ceramic kiln with some huge tank stuck on top. Aside from the silver tank, that's just what a common type of kiln looks like. ???

ps. i loved the video of the train snow plow!

That Wilesco is in really nice shape. Much better than this Marklin going for $3,500 on ebay.
