This is way off topic and I'm sorry. I consider most of you on here like family and I just wanted to share this with you. I posted on here a few months ago about my wife and I purchasing 11 acres. We have been married 24 years and it had been a dream of ours to own a small peice of ground. Just got our barn up and permits to start on the house. I checked with the planning and zoneing dept. three times just to make sure there wasn't going to be a Wal-mart or something go up right next to us. Was out on our land Monday afternoon when one of the neightbors came up to talk. He said I guess you heard the news. I said what. They are going to put a four lane road right through our place and yours. I thought he was jokeing. Didn't sleep all night. Went back to planning and zoneing and they confirmed what he told me. The airport got a $55 million grant from the Fed. Gov. and they are going to put in this new access road. She could tell I was devastated, we have sold all we had and pulled our kids from thier schools to follow this dream.She said they couldn't have warned me about this because they just have drawn it all up since the grant came through. She sent me to the admistrator of the CO roads and hi ways. The first thing I told him was I prayed in the truck before I came in here and I will accept whatever you have to tell me. This is bad news, but I have my family and I can start over if I need to.He told me that the road Idea had been scrapped and they where going to build a access road off the interstate more than a mile from my house and it wont affect me or my neighbors at all.Why did I write this? Just to say that the LORD we serve loves and cares for us even though we don't derserve anything. This was so small in relation to those who may be faceing health problems and the like. It just renews my faith to know he cares about even the small issues in our lifes. So sorry for rambeling on. Just wanted to share my blessing with my family here. Oh by the way... I love red tractors,there, I said it.

Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
