Old Timer's Days

This weekend was the 37th Annual Antique Farm Machinery Show at the Greene County Fairgrounds in Xenia (City of Hospitality), Ohio.
The featured tractor was the International.

This International has a chain drive.

At our first stop we purchased a bowl of kettle cooked ham and beans with plenty of diced onions and corn bread on the side. As it was noon, quite a few others had the same idea...

We watched the saw mill operation. A cedar log was being cut into blocks that would later be made into shingles. The saw mill was being operated by a John Deere A.








Shingles being made from the blocks of cedar.




A couple of the interesting things we saw.
We brought our bicycles along. We drove the short distance to Xenia Station; then rode to visit friends of ours who built their 'retirement' home not far from one of the bicycle paths that surround Xenia.
Our friends weren't home; we were 'greeted' by a couple of barking schnauzers. "Who are you? What are you doing here? Go away!" they barked. All in all, it was a nice day!
