It's "BubbaFest" Today

As I call it. There's about 30 racing lawn tractors in the park across the street getting ready for a pull competition. Some sound like alchohol burning V8s. These guys take this stuff serious.

They do this every year during "Old Time Saturday". I'll try to get some pics before I get the heck out of here.

Geez... There's some serious rides there. I'll post pics I took soon as I get them loaded.

I spotted one turbo diesel powered machine. A little 13 yr old girl came up and started telling me all about it. A modified 2.2l Mitsubishi...
Lots of motorcycle engines, V8s... mounted on small lawn mower type frames.

We left about noon to get away from the noise and to work on the new house in the country. This house is for sale btw.

When I was in Indiana last week they had what they called " Cocka A Doodle Doo Days "

The local Tyson chicken place sold 1/2 price cases of whole chickens.

While they had a big truck / tractor pull.

MMMMMMM, raw chicken and gasoline fumes....
