Day One
Well it's day one of the Mow-In! We could not have asked for a more
perfect day! Few clouds, in the seventies, no rain, just perfect!
There were so many tractors on display, it took two tents to hold them all
and they were so full, people were parking tractors outside of the tents.
I never even moved my 62 preservation project tractor to the tents (manly
because it is an LI with geared reduction wheels and I figured it would take me
until Sunday to get there!).
I spent much of the day wheeling and dealing the trailer full of treasure
that I determined that I would never use and needed to find new homes for.
The deals were great! A lot of great equipment to be had. It was
tempting to buy everything!
We made it to the banquet this time. It was a full house! The
banquet hall would hold 175 people and there were 175 people there! The
food was good (of course, I had been too busy to eat all day and I could have
eaten a used C air filter) and the company better! I didn't win the raffle
tractor and as usual, it was a beauty! Maybe next year!
As is getting to be too usual, the gravelyyard.com photographer was asleep at
the wheel and there were few pictures of the first day! Tomorrow, there
will be pictures of the show tractors. That is if I can wake up the
photographer!
