On Saturday we went to the Ag museum. when we got there we walked in and saw some old old old old.... engines. They looked like this ( first pic ). They were really really really cool. But any way, after that we went to the cotton gin ( all of the other pics ) ( motorized ). and they had this huge, engine from the 1890's. It was all black, with flywheels on either side, on one side the fly wheel had a belt hooked to it and on the other side they had a belt hooked to a compressor that they use to start it. me and my dad were fascinated by the engine. it had only 55 HP, but was loud with its steady rhythm of boom... boom... boom... but it pushed lots of torque. i'll post a video later today, then we went to the print shop and school, there was a paddle in the school room. It said education, it is the board of education.

Hey Guitar Boy!
It sounds like you had a great time at the Ag Museum. It's a cool place and you can learn lots of things about the way they did things a long time ago. You might even find something useful for today, huh? I love you and I'm so glad you're having fun learning and doing things with your family. Gramps and I will have a nice, long visit with you at Christmas time and you can tell us all about the things you've learned.
Love,
Grammy
Love your "board of education" joke :)
