Pittsburg Kansas Farm show bus will be leaving Toots at 11:00am today to go drool over tractors, lawnmowers, livestock equipment, and great big brand new shiny skid loaders.
My milf...wife thinks that I have an obsession with this new fangled computer gossip rag. I told her I was internet dating. She told me to go to the farm show and get some sun.
Later......................... :P
I have attended this many times with Marvin and believe you me, SUN you will get, along with all it's heat.
The closest thing we have to that is the big Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg. It the same kind of thing, but it's in January in a huge building. I used to love to go. Had lots on animals too. All the various "producers" associations would go. Apples, milk, beef, honey etc. They also have 4-H contests and adult canning, sewing, quilts and fancy work and more. Haven't been in years but I used to really enjoy it. Lots of free samples so we would eat our way through it. :laugh:
I used to think that people didn't come to the fair because we are some a/c'ed but that farm show proves that I am wrong - people flock to that show, where there is no shade, no breeze and 110 degrees... have something people are interested in and people will come - no matter what the weather...
That and the way cool new fangled gagets with big tires, motors and shiny paint..There are no animals except two legged ones....I take that back there was one bull in pen by him self...wonder what they were selling?
The attire for the day was cool except for Dr Dave his "mommie" made him wear his long pants.
The pineapple smoothie is a big draw. The show off tractor vendors with the a/c cab atvs sit inside their little toys and drive round with ice cream. I suppose it's a subliminal thing to get us to want both.
The purpose of this perticular excursion was to pick up the stuff that we bought Friday that they wouldn't let us have until after the show.
There are many new toys that needed to be looked at for a second time. The propane powered lawnmower was a steal at 12499. The new tractors all have the same new tractor smell. We found a huge new truck with 4 doors and full sized seat in the back that means you could hire 4 people and only take one truck to the job. Dr Dave would have to set sideways in the truck next year. See wifey that is saving money. So just write the check.
I really enjoyed talking to the future Dr Perkins. He told me that he is going to apply to med school as he is about done with school. I told him we would build him a eye surgeon clinic in the old bank building. We have some time to remodel but now we have a use for that building.
An eye surgeon? What a good idea! Do you think he would set up in Howard?

I cannot believe you just referred to your wife as a milf....You better thank the man upstairs she isn't addicted to the forum as well or I think your a#* would be grass!!!!
Dan, I agree with you. I would never admit in public that I even know what a milf is. If she finds out he may well turn from a stallion to a gelding.
The Farm Show was fantastic. Hot sun and cool tractor cabs. All was right with the world. Except the fact we didn't tow home a new tractor.
PEP definitely needs a new truck. I tried to nap on the way home (exhausted from standing in hot sun with my long pants on) and the comfort factor was a big, fat zero.
I told the future Dr. Perkins that if he is world famous, he could set up shop anywhere. We will need a hotel. I am sure some of his patients will want to stay over night. We will also need to update the airport. A hangar will need to be built to accommodate the charter services that will be delivering his patients.
I am dreeming about Farm Show 2009.
David (Dr. Dave)

I saw it..blinked.. looked twice.. but I wasn't EVEN going to mention it. I just put my eyes back in my head and went on to the next post.. LOL LOL
Patrick..you DO walk on thin ice occasionally.. ;D
Ah, yes in a few years Howard could be the Lasik capital of the mid west. We'll get all the stars to come so they can hide out in a nice small town where nobody would bother them.
You might be on to something there, Diane. We can advertise being the small town where nobody goes so the big stars are safe from their fans and the paparazzi. If that is what they really want.
Some sure do want peace and quiet part of the time. We get quite a few that come to our beaches in the summer because it's pretty quiet and the locals will say hello, but not bother them. Luke Wilson was here just this past weekend.
I am not scared. There should be many many more Mothers Involve with Loving Families in elk county. I am sure that if you look back far enough there were plenty of hot vixens about. I know most have cooled off a bit. But then again fat and bald doesn't have a cool acronym.
Also what is said on the forum should stay on the forum. We don't need logic and factually to drift of the computer screen and permeate the mainstream. Next you will be trying to stifle my creativity. Tell me to hold my tongue and not give an opinion. Of course people have been telling me that since Nixon was president. I have never accepted from the intellectually challenged.
I've slept with one eye open for 13 years. She can kill me without me even knowing it is so many ways pills, capsules, powers, compounds, sprays, lotions, cherry flavored, or odorless and tasteless. I feel reincarnated already with the amount of dagers I have seen. If looks could kill.
I think you are in the clear buddy.....If she was going to do it, I think she would have already done it!!!! Didn't mean to stifle the creativity or bring you down. Just wanted to make sure you weren't digging a hole that a dump truck couldn't fill up!
PEP, she has powers? What kind? Did she learn from Teresa? Ya better look out! ;D
Since the arts of magic and shamanism have traditionally been passed down from teacher to apprentice... maybe Miss Julie is in fact the "teacher"...
Ya just never know........................... ;)
Sorry, I thought you were the older one....diving under the table as sparks dance around the kitchen. ;D

You guys are just
FABulous! :D

Which is not the same as FABIO, who was not fat (though may be now) and had plenty of hair (but may not now)!
Man, where are my chestwaders when I need them????
Back to the original topic, was the farm show advertised in the Flint Hills Express? Were there signs around town? If so, I don't remember seeing anything about it. I spoke with two customers today who went to the show and said it was really hot but worth the trip. When I asked if it was publicized, they said no, but that everyone "just knew about it." So, this I see as a communication breakdown, assuming everyone has lived here forever so everyone "just knows" about what's going on in the county and elsewhere.
Indygal - another topic that Elk Konnected is trying to address - a county wide communication center and it looks like this forum will be the venue... they are trying to gather school calenders right now... Please come to the August 12 Community Update to be held at Severy Multi purpose room at 7pm to hear more....
The farm show is was and will be again sponsored by the Kansas Farm Talk...It is a ag publication that every one of the "Been Here's" have on their coffee table.
The "never lefts" keep this information to appear smarter.
The "come here's " find out by following the dust down the road or wondering why they are the only ones at Toots.
The "left as soon as we got out of school to find a good jobs "need to move back to stay informed. Bring your 6 figure salary with you.
How many people wave at you on the way to work? Even third shift.?? Then ask what your problem is when you don't wave back.
This is going to sound dumb, so give me a pass on this one.....
Why is an Elk Konnected meeting being held in another county????
Sorry, I am sure there is a reason
Dan,
Elk Konnected's boarders are fuzzy. The boundaries include all of Elk County but also include the school districts of West Elk and Elk Valley. Even some that are interested in the growth of our community live outside of these areas (Chataqua County). So, Severy is in the West Elk school district and thus an important part of Elk Konnected.
Elk is common to the names Elk County, West Elk, Elk Valley - you get the idea. Konnected (spelled with a K because the two letter abbreviation on Elk County license plates is EK) brings together the six towns (Severy, Howard, Moline, Grenola, Elk Falls, and Longton)that make up this community.
We, the steering committee, have intentionally moved our community gatherings around the area. The first meeting, the Community Conversation, was held at the Elk Valley School in Longton. The Vision Retreat was held at Flint Oak Ranch. The Elk Konnected Update will be held in Severy.
Please come and learn what Elk Konnected is doing. And find out where and how you can get involved.
