California Antique Farm Equipment Show (CAFES) 2025

Hi, juiceman.
Thanks for the info. and heads-zupp. How-wevver, I suspect that I am gonna be 'conspicuous by my absence' as we hava rash of shows DowNunda over the coming cuppla months - and 'coz the commute would be a 'bittuvva' hassle.

My 'home' nowadays - and LUVVIN' it.



Try to enjoy BOTH shows anyway.

Just my 0.02.

Toss that UTE or whatever you call it in an overseas container and park it at Tulare. Dry camping is offered there...
I believe the display is shaping up, as I have folks prepared to bring their iron for everyone to enjoy.
More the merrier! JM

Hi, juiceman.
And just WHO is footing the bill for getting me and said UTE across the puddle in time for the show????? I HAVEN'T seen any LARGE lumps of cash suddenly appearing in my bank account.

TRY to have fun without me anyway. LOL.

that is quite the setup you have deas. hows the wind resistance on the mitsushiti.

Hi, tk88.
It's 'ackshully' not bad. I have done a little 'aerodynamic' work on it as I built it, spoilers, sloping surfaces, wind breakers, etc.. I still need to do a little more but most of it is done. Works for me - doesn't hafta work for anybody else.

exactly. and opinions like arses everyone has one. instead of perfection sometimes one has to settle for practicality.

Hi, tk88.
The practicality of this setup is PERFECT for me - LOTZA time to myself, nobody to argue with, being my own travel advisor, chief cook, bottle washer, bed maker, laundry person, gardener - - - er, wait a bit. I don't hava garden, just a 'backyard' of almost 3 million square limes.

Works for me.

Are you planning a trip to Warracknabeal for Easter. Long time since you paid us a visit. WF

Hi, Wimmera Farmer.
Not as long as you think. I was down there the following year as well but it wasn't near as interesting a show without Cat being the featured brand.

That said, this year, I will be travelling 'sideways' (figger that one out) to get there but it is on the 'too-doo' list . Hope ter see yer thair.
