Well, it looks like I'll be bringing Albert with me, probably on Friday, and seeing as he is 98 years old, and is as sharp an anyone I know, and gets around about as well as any of us, it'll be interesting! He has farmed his whole life, and still keeps a large garden today. He said they had mostly Allis Chalmers, but I have heard tales of some early Fordsons. Any updates from any of you? The weather looks better on Friday than it did earlier. Plus another pic from last year. Just wondering if Jack Wondergem is coming? I know he's working part time now.

I will be in the steam barn most of the time. We usually have plenty of help, so I can meet with a group almost anytime, anywhere. I'm guessing around 2:00PM, I will slip out and chop some corn with the old New Holland. Ron
 
Doesn't look like I will be home in time. I'm still on my high Adventure on my motorcycle to Alaska. I left the day after our last Fowlerville lunch meet. I may try to make Blanchard though so I can see Randys Oliver.
 
Ron, my cousin wanted to come and bring his golf cart, but his insurance agent does not offer insurance for the cart. Could you suggest an agent that could sell him a small policy to cover the cart?
 
I got that tractor torn down. Hofferbert's have some parts ordered for me. Card's have all but one that I need and that one's on a stock order. They both are pretty sure that the parts will be there by Friday,so the plan is to take the 500s over Friday morning and bring them home Saturday night. I should be there registered and unloaded between 10:30 and 11 Friday I would guess. I can hang around until noon or one if somebody wants to meet up Friday. We'll head back Saturday morning and spend the day.

That's the plan for now anyway. If there's any change,I'll update it.
 
Sounds good, Randy! Looking forward to seeing those Olivers. Albert has farmed around Dexter, MI most of his life.
 
John, I?m sorry I really don?t know of anyone. I?ve always heard it could be done as a rider on a persons homeowners policy, but I have no first hand experience with it.
 
It would probably be cheaper to rent a cart for the day at the show than to get a policy for the day. They have cart rentals.
