Rewired it today, checked it out, ripped a couple lengths of old wood… Needs a new belt but runs quiet and strong!!! Not bad for a freebie, eh? *grin* I’ll clean it up, graphite the gears, heck, maybe even restore it next winter when I’ve nothing else to do. And… parts are still available out there! A few are missing.

Thoughts, anyone?

For some reason I can't get this link to work, so you'll have to access it manually by highlighting, copying and pasting into your browser's address line. Sorry about that... I'm puzzled.

5/21/11 Rapture FAIL

Hansom and Chica are patiently waiting for the rapture that won't be coming. Pity those who believed it would.

These little girls are really something!

This was at a Texas Tech Basketball game.

The National Anthem is sung by five young ladies ages 6-8.

An entire arena remains completely silent throughout the song. You could hear a pin drop.

Take a moment to listen to this.

The two young ladies on the right are 6 years old.

The two in the middle are 7 and the one on the left is 8.
