Yeah...........but he probably gets the Ferguson up to 20 mph...........so he gets a/c by default.

"Gimmee a break. I've seen you drive that Ferguson 5000 around in the noonday sun without even wearing a hat."

That is your fault.... Remember me asking what type plug end you have on your portable welder ? I can't use an umbrella on that tractor because I would tear it off with the low trees... so I need to weld a steel top on it.... but I can't complete the wiring on the shop outside plug because you won't tell me what would fit your welder...you know mine is too big to move...
Anyway, I did not say I was smart...but I already have tinnitus from you know what... so I wear ear protection for sure... and you can't get a hat on top of ear muffs....

I can always find someone else to blame....

Strange, I never knew that you were waiting on me; you need to tell me about things like that. Anyway, my portable welder is only slightly more portable than that behemoth of yours. Seriously, I'll know what type of outlet it needs pretty soon; I'm going to install an outlet for it up at the farm.

And, I wouldn't weld that lid onto the ROPS else you'll be screwed when it gets bent. Much easier/smarter to fab one and bolt it on. Thataway, when it gets bent (and you know it will) simply unbolt and fix in the convenience of your shop.

I voted for Nelliebelle, of course. Most of the group will have never seen one with a gorilla knob.

Mike it was good to meet you also!

And of course, Randy, Greg and Lars, always good to see you guys.

Did I miss anyone???????

So which car did Randy take? And I'm assuming Greg drove the Honda.

You assumed correctly and, he was thoroughly chastized for it too. I drove the WVO powered 115, of course.

Randy took NellieBell.... and she was particularly pretty....
The heat index at 6pm was 102.... you do the math....
However, once we got there....due to my exquisite choice of meeting places... the middle of a huge parking lot.... there was a very nice breeze...and it was very comfortable visiting.....

Randy has officially LOST his MIND..... he drove around in NellieBell yesterday ( which has a fine working AC ) with the AC OFF just to prove that it could be done.... and I am not kidding about this....

Rurik also showed up in a Cool Honda..... he has just recently blown the head gasket on his 1981 SD.... our condolences.....and we promise to help him see the job through to the end....
Or at least stand around and Kibbitz.... while keeping hydrated....
