I was looking for a picture of the dog I grew up with and found this one, but it really is more of the Harley Davidson than the dog. My dad brought this home from an auction when I was about 10. He had one when he was younger too here is that one maybe around 1940:  I don't know who the Babes are but the motorcycle on the left is my dads when he was living in Eureka CA before WWII.  Here is a wild bunch after WWII, my dad is second from the left.  I also came across a couple of Model T pictures, both driven by my dad. Different cars the first is my grandpa's and dad is a youngster, the second is a neighbors car in 1942 when dad was home on leave, some of the same girls in both pictures too.   And some Allis Chalmers to keep things on topic. This one is taken at Grandpa's place but it is not his tractor, maybe it was his brothers that lived close by.  This one I recognize the car as one my dad had but the tractor and the farm place I don't recognize - nice WC though, I think a 1939 with those rear wheels.  This is in April 1942 when a brand new drill was delivered.  They took a few pictures of the new drill and the RC.  And staged some pictures too; my dads sister took these pictures she is the only one still living that grew up there, she is 89 now.   |

Nice pics, you are so lucky! Can you make out what it says on the door of that delivery truck? ------------- sometimes I walk out to my shop and look around and think "Who's the idiot that owns this place?" |

| I think a McCormick-Deering would have come from Aamot Implement in Wendell MN, but I can't really figure it out even on the original scan. It is from a small photo so it is already blown up a bit. |
