Another Steam Engine Show This Weekend

Yep. As it turns out my buddy was helping to run the sawmill on Thursday! I
just called him, and he and his family are heading out there again today. Wish
I was there!

Visited my DiL's relatives near Cape Girardeau a few years back (half way
between parents), and was given a tour of the most incredible collection of
steam engines I've seen since the Henry Ford Museum. What remains firmly
embedded in my mind, however, is the image of him throwing walnut chunks
into the boiler as I screamed in silence.
