Hey, Billy. Especially too bad, since I had my camera when Emma-the-Super-Shorthair and I paid you a visit. We'll have to do it again...when we both know I'm coming up and I can have plenty of film with me. Don't mean to brag, but I've been shooting tractors and stuff outdoors for years and am not too bad at it. When I worked for that shortliner, Howard Rotavator Company, I not only wrote the brochures but shot all the photography as well. Did some of the same for Jacobsen Division of Textron in Racine. Anyway, seeing the tobacco shed and all the Farmalls in your photos made me kind of nostalgic about Stoughton and my jaunt up there. Got a kick out of your email. I agree with you about the Steam Pile Driver display. Cute as a button, yep...I noticed. How incongruous. You would expect to see some grizzled old-timer with his overalls mired in grease and sweat, not some brassy young lassie with a classy chassis climbing around a thing like that. BTW, there's some kind of tractor show going on this weekend just north of Belvidere, IL, on Hunter Road. I may be able to sneak away, though I should stay home and work on the deck. I think Bobby (whose shed my Super M is housed in)is taking a tractor down there. Also appreciated what you said in your email about my very own tobacco axe. I don't remember Alvin's name on the one I saw, but I will follow up on that one. Just a little correction on my name, Buster. It's w-a-l-l, not w-a-l-d. Do I call you Willy? And it's Macdonald, not Macdougal, just in case you try saying that after a third Pabst. Take care, friend. Thanks for sharing the photos at the farm. David
