First day of August 2019

76º here in Clarinda, IA at 11 am Thursday with bright sunshine.  Went to Avoca, IA yesterday and spent time in the Farmall Museum.  Ran in rain much of the way home.

Lots of toy tractors & implements

Tractor similar to one Phyllis drove as a kid, pulling baler
and hay wagon behind.

Similar, without the weights to one of Melvin's tractors.

Visiting with one of the owners, while Bill was
visiting with the other owner.

I think this is similar to Dad's Farmall Regular, except I remember his being all rust colored.  It was the only tractor dad had until he bought the Ford 8N. 

Jerry and Joyce Mez own the museum.
Jerry posed with Bill Connelly - a photo
that they will submit to their local Farmall
Club they belong to in Kansas.

Bill & Kathy Connelly parked on our drive.

Bill & Kathy got here Tuesday and we played
some Pegs & Jokers that evening.

We will do some looking around this area today, before we both take off with our trailers to Lake Ahquabi State Park south of Indianola, IA tomorrow.

GROANER'S CORNER:((   A famous admiral and an equally famous general were fishing together when a sudden squall came up. When it died down both eminent warriors were struggling helplessly in the water.  The admiral floundered his way back to the boat and pulled himself painfully in. Then he fished out the general, using an oar.  Catching his breath, he puffed: "Please don't say a word about this to anyone. If the Navy found I can't swim I'd be disgraced.  "Don't worry," the general said. "Your secret is safe. I'd hate to have my men find out I can't walk on water either."

A guy calls the hospital and a nurse answers the phone.  The guy said, "Send help because my wife is going into labor."  The nurse said, "Is this her first child?"  The guy replied, "No, this is her husband."
