A Fathers Day Fly-in at The Farm
This morning I was awakened by the sound of a small plane flying low overhead. Aha. They’re coming in for the Fathers Day Fly-in at the Torchport, I thought. I’m going over there for breakfast in a little while—just as soon as I get my Fathers Day post done. It would never do to have […]

Then she donated the collection to Western Michigan University, where it is archived for researchers. However, many odds and ends and wonderful surprises […]

Classic Machines, Part II: The Extravagant Hood Ornament, Not My Grampa’s Cruck, and Fuzzy Dice
June 15, 2010
As I was saying . . . . I enjoyed talking to Tom MacGregor about his 1922 Ford Touring Car. Its special feature is that it is “close to factory”–just the way it rolled off Henry Ford’s assembly line in 1922. These, says Tom, were designed to work on yourself, the way you worked on […]
