Indeed, spring is here.

Found a copperhead yesterday in the yard. Boldly colored, real pretty. I left it be. Got up at 0500 this morning and set on the front porch. At first light, the birds were LOUD. Definitely springtime.

Know what spring means? Weather. Tornado season #2.

And the weatherman said the ground hog gets a 'A' this spring.
And when he shows up he gets a .22WMR here....

One of the pieces of crypto I was trained on was used on aircraft. I was all set to volunteer for duty with a squadron until I found out about SEER school. Nope. On the Nope Train to EffDatVille!

My tractors from that era are a 1953 oliver 77 and a 1950 ferguson to30. Both would make an excellent addition to your model I think.
We still have a 1953 Oliver 77

Excellent tractor. At some point my engine was replaced with that of a super 88. It's the industrial version with ware loader and backhoe. It's a bit rough and sloppy but i managed to dig the foundation for my shop.

Got one that's decided to take up residence in my run in barn. Took out 3 that decided that was the place to hang last year. Just need to see him to give him his .17hmr pill.
