Fun at the Greater Peoria Farm Show!

Today we visited our first farm show of the winter season. The Greater Peoria Farm Show is the first of several! Today was the last day for this show that celebrated their 43rd year. I went with my husband Keith and our friend Denny Seiz. We visited the show, each of us going our own ways and checking out our interests. Farm shows are great places to see the latest and greatest in farming. I…

ok so stardew 1.6.9 made it so you can put legendary & legendary II fishes in fish ponds and get roe and the legends roe is like 2500 w/o aging and i was like "eh why not" bc i have a fishpond w a couple of sturgeons that i just dont care about like i dont age the roe bc i dont feel like it and i dont get like any money from it so i threw the legend II in there after i did a bit of math and decided that 1 roe a week is worth more than the sturgeons but chat

whyd the fish pond just give me 14 roe

i thought it was one a week so i gave it a golden animal cracker i

ONE OF MY POST ENDED UP ON A TIKTOK AI VOICE MINECRAFT PARKOUR VIDEO IM GOING TO LOOSE MY MIND

Postcards from Snagglepuss (Minnesota State Fair edition)

And you thought Machinery Hill was fascinating ...

Ahhh, yes, Machinery Hill ... highlight of the northern part of the Minnesota State Fairgrounds, traditional home for farm tractor and farm equipment manufacturers' exhibits and displays, even if a good part of it had to be levelled to allow the 4-H Building to be constructed in the late 1930's. Only nowadays, only John Deere has any semblance of a tractor display at its facility, with the possibility of just sitting in the cockpit and posing like you were a farmer doing the fields.

Which our company no doubt took advantage of, and then some.

And it turns out that you also have Ford and Chevrolet with their pickups and SUV's on display and preview ... as well as the makers of lawn and garden tractors, riding lawnmowers (including some of the Zero Turning Radius sort), campers even! And boy, were the exhibitors somehow impressed by our having a motorhome, not to mention the 70's van style epitomised by Emmy Lou and Jenny Lee!

But it's just a couple blocks north of Machinery Hill that we want to focus the attention on: No less than the Old Iron Show, along Lee Avenue betwixt Underwood and Cooper Streets on the north side, visible off the SkyGlider even!

"So what exactly is this 'Old Iron Show' about?" asked Square Bear when yours truly and Huckleberry Hound explained our stopping by there as we got off a complimentary trolley shuttle along Underwood Street ... and to answer, such happens to show off some older farm tractors which have managed to be restored, and I mean painstakingly restored! Not just John Deere and Farmall ... brands now manufactured no more, brands like Oliver, Allis-Chalmers, Minneapolis-Moline, Case, Massey-Ferguson, Ford, Cockshutt, White, Co-Op ... and perhaps most impressive, a Mill City "farm engine" of 1906 vintage, of rather substantial size even, designed mainly for larger farms of the time. And who could have been more stunned than--

"Who else--Lippy the Lion?!"

And you could tell where this leonine Tora-san was impressed that a "farm engine" built in 1906 had much the same size as a larger farm tractor such as, say, those in John Deere's 9 Series, but with horsepower comparable to a small utility tractor ... not to mention such skill and care such as are fond of rebuilding farm machinery from the 1930's to the 1970's could take.

Which led us to a rather interesting ice cream stand in the area of the Old Iron Show. Interesting in that the ice cream--old-school, extra-rich vanilla ice cream even!--is made using a restored 1937-vintage John Deere gasoline engine of the sort which served to provide power on the farm, perhaps powering water pumps or serving as a modest light plant. And some say ice cream may not exactly be what it used to be ...

every day on midnight there is a guy who uploads a meme about what day of the war it is (49, currently) and every day there is a guy commenting updates on like if anything changed today. at some point another guy joined by giving fun facts about the number of each day. now the second guy has gotten bored and started adding more things too like fun facts and recipes. beautiful display of what despair can bring out of people (really funny memes. and solidarity ig. and tradition?)

So I'm on a psychology streak today, so I actually have a question for y'all:

Do you have any fics that irrevocably changed how you look at the world, for better or worse?

My grandfather will watch the most inclusive, progressive pieces of media, come away from it saying "it's great see all these different people and their perspectives" or something like that, and STILL be a Trump AND Isreal supporter. Truly. I don't even fucking know what to say
