Some of the stuff that caught my eye at Albert City over the weekend! Had a GREAT time, weather was perfect, show was well run! Thanx for hosting this year!
This ultralight flew over the AC fun pull on Friday evening
 The clouds and sun were in a contest that evening as well
 Barn quilts were common up there, this one was on the showgrounds
 This brutus was having trouble in the mud, but did it ever sound nice!
 I thought this was how they worked, but had not ever seen one in action
 This is the smallest self propelled combine I think I have ever seen
 This horse was begging to have his picture taken!
 More horses

A check planted cornfield is a beautiful sight. Dad tells when Grandpa used mules to plant with his check planter, their ears would twitch every time the knot in the wire "clicked" the mechanism to release the seed to the ground. ------------- "The trouble with quotes on the Internet is that you can never know if they are genuine." - Mark Twain |

Likely the mule's muscles also twitched as the planter cycled to plant each hill. They had to work harder for a second or two. Gerald J. |

Thanks for those great pics.
I, for one am old enuf to remember when those hayloaders were fairly common; especially up here in the poor part of New York State. The most successful of our local farmers finally bought a big ol' New Holland baler with a V-4 Wisconsin on it and quite a few of the other farmers paid him to bale their hay. He pulled it all over these mountains with a WC and its a wonder he didn't get killed with them Da ned handbrakes. LOL
