Chugwater, sorry if it seems I was beating up on you. I was not. I think the Magazine Committee would love to hear constructive criticism to help build a better product. Glad you are doing your part to help flesh out the magazine. I know when I was responsible for a newsletter, I was practically the only one writting. It would take an act of Congress to get someone to submit. Thank you for gettting my point.

To the best of my knowledge, the only thing that was stolen at the show was the fuel out of the State of California grader and snow plow.
Oh well, if that is all we have to bitch about (except the extremely hot temperatures) then it must have been a pretty good show.

Maybe it evaporated

No problems here. I also was the editor for a non profit national newsletter. I've felt your pain.

Have a great day!

When I looked at the IH powered road grader, the gas was left on and was running out of the carburetor. I mentioned it to the guys taking care of it and they did not seem concerned.
Excellent show and I sure appreciated all the work put in by the committee and exhibitors.

I'm ready for Tom to put on another show so I can put my old red KW back to work LoL. But Tom already told me 2009 was not going to be an active Cat year or he would be sleeping in the dog house perminatly

When did the magazine start to contain fiction? I don't want "made up stories".

phildirt - what are you referring to? GWH

GWH, any idea when that story I sent you a year ago or so might run?

terry, maybe I ought to submit it to the editor! OK, the truth is that I completely forgot about it. But I have moved twice, and all those old club-related records are in storage. I have a two-car garage full of boxes and furniture, comprising my storage. Do you have another copy?

:>( GWH

I found Steiner's article. Is that the one you sent to me????????????? If so, I will forward to our editor. GWH

It was the one from Engine and Engineers many moons ago. If not I can drop a copy off at the office when I am in Peoria in a few weeks.
