And forgot the camera
Chris and I took the grandkids to a Steam engine show.I have always enjoyed taking a step back in time and seeing how the world evolved,I thought the kids would enjoy it also.Man was I wrong.
Coal smoke filled the air and the smell of sulfur was heavy but ya still gotta love it,seeing these big machines in motion. Watched the antique tractor pull for a while then I finally told Chris we need to go and I was ready when she was.My eyes were watering and I couldn't hardly breath,my throat was burning.The smoke had taken its toll on me,how could this be.I grew up around this stuff heated the house with coal,worked in the coal mines for a few years :rolleye:
There is another steam show coming up in Aug and I will be at that and put my body through hell one more time this year and hope to take the camera along
I would love to see that Bill. My grandfather had the papers to run them and so do I.
I wish ya had your camera....... :sad3:
Sounds like you had fun though............. :yoyo: :yoyo:
Your body couldnt take it probably cause your so young and un seasoned Bill. :laf: :wink:
I think I'd like a show like that also, but not if I had to choke to stay alive during it.
Sounds like fun Bill. I live with a steam engine though. All I have to do is open my mouth, she get's steamed and starts choking me. Same result just a little different process. :wink:
When I was a kid our family used to have their family reunion at a steam thrashing show and grandpa used to give us rides on the steam engines.
