Downtown was super crowded because of the carnival that was taking up the streets. Darn nice carnival with cool rides... a couple of them took ya up higher than the building roofs.

Yooperlady's pink gripped S & W revolver was the center of attention for an astonishing amount of people in the crowd. I had fun just watching the people looking at her gun.

Met michRRconductor in the RR museum. Nice young fellow... good to see young people picking up where us old farts are going to be leaving off!

No problems... and I was impressed by the quality of the carnival....

We had fun...

Lots of looks at my Taurus too...no comments, had a few people make a point of getting out of our way though.....:what:

You surely noticed I didn't make mention of hanging out with you Warchild.....

Perhaps that was on purpose? And probably was because of the hat?:what:

Now if I could just get you to drink Mt. Dew............

By the way... when was the last time that hat saw the inside of a washing machine?

Sooo, that's where Brian was at. When I went to Brown Bear today they asked me if Jeff was coming out to their Open House. :uhoh:

wasnt super busy where we were at,bad location...but the best we could get.

next year,if jeff still wishes to,we would have ample time to get into the vendor area,which would increase the amount of people seeing it by probably 20X

I don't remember when the last time was I went to RR Days. I usually try to avoid it, by design.

So... I'm not the only one who gets "distracted" when he has a camera in a crowded public place.

At least once a month, but you caught it "between cycles".

Working and sawdust the last 6 days, does a number real quick.

Besides, like well worn jeans....it's comfortable.

[lil_freak_66]

of course.

been considering some removable brake/turn lights too for that extra bit of safety,but idk.

the only row crop tractor i dont have a triangle for is the Ford 8N,which doesnt ever see any street.
