OK, all steamed up, coal oil burners and gasoline powered washing machines

Some of those also might have had spoke wheels or even steel.  Crank on that one would fit in the front.

I wish I could remember more about it. My Dad sure enjoyed messin' with it. WE had ah good sized yard back then, take two nights after work to cut it. He even made me ah Riding Mower I could start by myself. Had ah Wind up starter on it. Perfect fer ah 5 yr old. I was cuttin' grass fer I was old enough fer school. The smell ah fresh cut grass is sure pleasin' right to this day. I still have three of Dad's old motors. One High wheel 32' Clinton, ah Reel type powered thing and ah Craftsman Boat motor. The things ya collect eh?

[Delmonico]

They have a steam powered saw mill up there, here is the power:







The mill it's self:



Saw dust auger:



Wagon load of Red Cedar planks:

I love the smell of fresh cedar!

[Ozark Tracker]

they have several little saw mills around here that saw nothing but cedar,  you talk about smelling good when you go down there,

there used to be a community called peanut north of us about 3 miles,  everybody moved away and it grew up into the forrest,  they say the only thing there is an old saw mill,   no roads in or out to it now.

the fella that cuts and bales our hay makes sorghum, he has the old rig that his granddad had, it is one that runs by mule power,  tommy has put on an electric motor now and still uses it every year,  he has about 3 acres of cane planted this year. everybody that knew his granddad says it was the best sorghum they ever had,  Tommy says when his granddad was cookin it, he wouldn't let anybody near, so nobody reallly knows exactly how he made it.  Tommy says his is not as good as his granddad. or dads.

These folks make a mighty fine product, pictures are from another event in the fall of 2006:

Ya want me to search my 19th century cook boooks and scan ya some recipes?  Course the rest is up to you.

that looks like Tommy's press except his has been rigged to an electric motor,   he has all the stainless buckets and cookers,  he said his Dad had at one time a copper cooker,  said it was a hugh pot, but it burned out before Tommy got the press,
his sorghum is good, but he says his Granddad's was better.

The secret more than likely is the copper kettle.  This one is not these folks, but belongs to the Filley barn, as well as the cooker and the stove, the just bring the stalks.  The set-up they have at home is much bigger.  But the horse runs it at home also.  they could put a 'lectric motor on it, but they don't have no place at home to plug it in.

Not Amish, just folks who like to live the simple life.

Wars dare gonnah be ah pitcher in dat last post Dell?

Nope, don't have any of their home set-up, just the above one they do at Filley.

[Texas Lawdog]

Del, It looks a little cool up there. That Belgian looks like he's got his winter coat. It would be a cool change from 90-100 days temps around here.

[Delmonico]

Those pictures were in mid Oct.

Got in the upper 90's here today, looks like a one day deal though and back around 80 for a week or so.

[Texas Lawdog]

It otta be nice by Oct. for the Muster. I sent my registration into Jerry this week. I'll celebrate my 62nd birthday on the 13th of Oct. The Muster will be my Birthday present to myself. I'm gonna try and bring some extra money to get me a Frock Coat.

ya know that's kinda what Tommy and Levi think also,   Levi says he remembers when he was just a kid, Tommy's Granddad travelin around this part of the country and sitting up at different places and making sorghum for people, where they had grown cane.  he says it was a community event,

Tommy says when they burned out the copper pot that somebody came by and his granddad sold the old pot for $10,   Tommy always has his eyes out for another copper pot, but he hasn't found what he wants yet.

[Delmonico]

Don't understand it, but some things work better in copper, like merigune.

[Texas Lawdog]

Del, When the word merigune, I think about cream pies,  especially banana or coconut.
