Full weekend of pulling!

Pulled at Sigourney Fri.--Hot-Hot-Hot and Sat. and at New Hampton on Sun. Had a REAL good time--Saw a lot of old friends and made some more! Son Ray took his 88 and Deere 6030 and I took ol Abe. We each won some and lost some. Heard Sigourney had over 800 hooks for the weekend--New Hampton was a benefit pull for cancer and paid no $$$ but still had over 200 hooks+ garden tractors--had a good turnout of nice iron-from classic tractors to NTPA super farm and limited pro-stock + trucks. Three straight days of pulling 200 mi. apart are hard on a old man especially when it was in the 90's Fri. Mel and Deloris Rami invited us for Brats Sat.--Yum-good--Good people!--Thanks-----Thanks to all the people who helped put the pulls on---The one at Sigourney was delayed twice and the one at New Hampton was a spur of the moment one and was planned just 3 weeks ago because of the China virous!---Tee

Ol Abe in the 5000 class at NH-ran 4th--should have been in 5th

My buddy Mike from Tenn. ran Abe in the 5500 6 mph class

I flagged for a couple of hours Sat.

Son-Ray with his 88 12 mph class I think

Enjoyed putting up with you this weekend Tee. Next time you flag when I'm pulling though would you stay standing in in spot so I can see if I can run over you instead of moving around so much? I didn't know which way to steer, first I went one way and then took a sharp turn the other way and still couldn't get you. Had a good time anyway even if you did beat up on pretty bad.

They say the worst thing you can run over on the road is a 600 lb. sow--will tear your radiator-oil pan and a bunch of other stuff right off your truck! So Mel--be carful when you aim for me--I would hate to see you hung up on me!!!! Good to see you and your family at Sigourney Thanks again for the steak {shaped like a brat}--It was good!---Tee

Thanks for the pics and pull reports..It sounded like you did well and had a weekend of fun...3 pulls in one weekend would be tough on me too....This weekend I will be at my 22nd and 23rd pulls of the year..The following weekend I will have 2 more..I'm hoping to get to at least 30 pulls this year.

1206--30 pulls? there hasn't been that many within 400 mi. of us!-The wolf callers are running wild up here in Iowa again! Closing bars and cat houses again--Well---GOOD LUCK--Do you have a house for rent--cheap???---Tee

We are very fortunate here in Missouri....If you lived in central MO you could have had your choice of 3-4 pulls almost every weekend....You would have probably never had to drive over 200 miles one way to any of them..Most would have been much closer..

On Sept 4th I can antique pull 75 miles from me at Stotts City,MO....On Sept 5th I can pull with SMTTPA at Billings,MO 100 miles away, hit the Spring River pull at Stotts City,MO 75 miles away, or the Mid MO pull at Clinton,MO 70 miles away....On Sept 6th theres a Mid MO pull at Windsor,MO which is 85 miles away...

On Sept 11th I can antique pull at Friestatt,MO 80 miles away......On Sept 12th we are having a MSTPA pull at my town 7 miles away....Also Spring River is pulling on Sept 12th at Friestatt,MO 80 miles away...On Sept 13th I will be at Butler,MO for a MSTPA pull thats 35 miles away.

On Sept 19th I can pull Spring River at Mt Vernon 75 miles away or MSTPA at Holden which is 90 miles away...

On Sept 25th and 26th I will be at the huge PPL pulls that are just 60 miles from me at Wheatland....On Sept 27th my home town is having an antique pull 7 miles from me...I could pull SMTTPA Sept 26th at Marshfield,MO which is 110 miles away or with Spring River at Sarcoxie,MO 70 miles away...

I'll be worn out by the end of Sept but I still have 3 pulls that I will hit in October....I should make 30 pulls in 2020 if none gets cancelled or rained out..




We were talking to sled owner Brandon Bungart at Falls City,NE..He said that their sled bookings were only 15% of normal in 2020..They have 7 sleds and 3 operators have pretty much handled things this year..

Good for you--We are lucky the grocery stores are open--at least there are no riots in my town--YET. A Benny of living by a small town. Stay safe and Happy Pulling---Tee
