Re: Farm Days: Who\'s going?

I am really sorry that I will not be able to make it. If I were still living in New York during the show, I would be there without a doubt. But, I'm leaving next Thursday, the 25th. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Hi everyone, looks like I'm still on. Staying in Watertown with relatives then on to the farm show. I'll be wearing my Navy hat. Looks like a trator/navy meeting!!!/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Re: Farm Days: Who\'s going?

Mike, my wife would love to go, but we're not as lucky as Pete to have someone take care of the dogs and livestock!! Besides, she said that she knows that John MillerIII and I would have a blast on the drive, as well as during show itself. JMIII and I plans to be there on Tursday, 8/8 at wherever everyone agrees to meet!!!

This is gonna be fun!!/w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Re: Farm Days: Who\'s going?

she knows that John MillerIII 

I misread that at first to say she knows JMIII and didn't want to be anywhere near him! Was beginning to have doubts about bringing MY wife! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Re: Farm Days: Who\'s going?

Pete, are you trying to get my wife in trouble with JMIII????

Don't worry, your wife will like JMIII! He has good manners, and can discuss many things other than tractors!! He's really quite civilized, once you get to know him!!/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Re: Farm Days: Who\'s going?

once you get to know him!!

Er, um, just how long does this process take? We're only going to be together at Empire Farm Days for an afternoon, right????/w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Re: Farm Days: Who\'s going?

I have a suggestion for those able to attend the Empire Farm Days on Thursday, August 8, a little after noon. How about making up TBN business cards to hand out to the rest of us that meet. Some of you have been real creative in your signatures - bet you could make up some real neat cards with graphics, TBN user name, name, address, e-mail address, etc. Waddyathink?

Re: Farm Days: Who\'s going?

It's just a week away! So far it looks like Thursday at nooners the following folks will meet up at the HN compact tractor area: Boondox and wife, JMIII, RichZ, maybe WillC, MikePA, Duanet, Von, Robert in NY, and Alex. Anybody else game?

Re: Farm Days: Who\'s going?

Hey Pete,

Just as a reminder for those of us who can't be there /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif. Pictures - take a bunch of pictures! Individual shots, group shots, guys on tractor shots, guys eating burger shots, guys drinking.....oh, you get the idea!

We may not be there in person, but we're there in spirit! /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

MikePA · Aug 1, 2002

Re: Farm Days: Who\'s going?

Against her better judgment /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif, my wife will also be attending. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif But we have to make our collective mind up, willl it be 'noonish' or 12:30 PM at the NH display? I don't want to be late. /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif Plus letting my wife sleep that extra 30 minutes might be the difference between life and death. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Re: Farm Days: Who\'s going?

I'm going - up in the air on day - wife wants to go and have to coordinate. Maybe muhammed should have had some t shirts for tractorbynet.com made up so we would recognize each other!

Great! Yet another distraction my wife will try to keep me away from!

Boondox · Aug 1, 2002

Re: Farm Days: Who\'s going?

Well, it sounds like you'd have a good chance of meeting us if you introduced yourself to anyone in a navy ballcap!

Re: Farm Days: Who\'s going & Big Auction 8/8 @ 3pm

The last few years, they've had the auctions right next to the Empire Farm property... only problem you get tired, want to go home... and not spend xx amount hours at an auction...

Last year it was probably 95 degrees or so (not kidding!)...

So bring your trucks guys... /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Re: Farm Days: Who\'s going?

If you guys are going to be in the area anyway, and you like antique tractors, you might also want to check out this show:

August 8-11
NEW YORK STEAM ENGINE ASSN. 42ND ANNUAL PAGEANT OF STEAM - 5 MILES EAST ON GEHAN RD. OFF RTS. 5 AND 20. CONTACT GARY LOVE, 3231 SMITH RD., CANANDAIGUA, NY 14424; (716) 394-8102

This show is only a few miles west of Geneva. They typically have a few hundred antique tractors, "hit and miss" gas engines, as well as steam traction engines and old farm implements of all kinds. I usually get there every year but I don't know if I will make it this year. This is a really good show for old tractor nuts like me.
