Cousin in Charge

  Stopped by an airfield in the pines where the crop dusting planes were preparing for the day's work on the cranberry bogs.  Met my cousin who took time out to graciously greet us as she is very busy managing these operations.  This time the planes were being used for fertilizing purposes. Sorry, Cristina, I should have gotten a photo since you looked great---- work clothes or not. The farmers rely on these vintage bi-planes from the 30's because they typically have a shorter wing span than a similar monoplane, which gives them greater maneuverability.





Finally multi-media here.  Please click and hear the power of these engines.


Later it was on to the Columbus Auction, again. Whoo--hoo!




Missed the Indian who was making his rounds on the grounds.  Didn't see the bedazzled lady either.  But I did see some "plain folk" Amish.


Didn't want the full image
here but you can find some distasteful images on T-shirts.

My machine at home
is similar to this one.  If it runs half as good
 as mine it is a steal at  $25.
