The steam powered stationary threshing machine brought back memories from my early childhood; for until I was five years old, we lived in a tiny Nebraska village where our house abutted a huge wheatfield. One of my earliest memories was harvest time, watching the workers bringing the sheaves to the thresher as it stood in the field behind our house, belching smoke as it did whatever it did.

That looks like a fun show. There is an annual steam and antique tractor show held about five miles from here. The highlight is when one of the community patriarchs brings his steam saw mill out and makes boards and sawdust out of large logs. Always a lot of fun. It bothers that some of the "antique" tractors are younger than me. That's not right.
Chuck-- The biggest problem with these shows is that they are too often on a sweltering day. Can't see anything for the sweat in the eye.
Too right, people referring to stuff as "antique", stuff that had not yet been invented when I was a young man. Just annoying.
