At least the popo would have a better chance of running down the offending vehicle. That would make a great K-9 unit...for a Chihuahua

Before it you most likely had 5 or 6 people cutting and mashing potatoes but now you could do the same work with 2. One feeding potatoes in and one cranking the handle. I'm sure that they switched jobs as the crank man got tired.

I do the same. In Baltimore they have the museum of industry. There's a complete canning operation set up, among other things

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.

A bunch of flatlanders headed out to Cotopaxi Colorado back in 16.
About half broke off and hit a Mexican restaurant in Salida. There was a massive fire up in those mountains back then.

That was my last long ride. I’m getting close to being too old to ride like that anymore.
That was a fun trip. If I remember right we were out there for about five days. Lots of memorable moments.
The guy on the far left is a harley tech-( he left his scooter at home and was riding his dads Kawasaki) and the fella on the right owns a tow service. Both guys are named Mike.lol
The Tow Man is a super solid dude.Honest as the day is long and tough as nails… a great friend.

I sold the motorcycle to my brother last year.
I think his son is going to buy it from him when he saves a few dollars.

Yes, lots of damage. Can’t tell from my picture but there was a lot of fire and smoke.

Back in the late 70s-the mid 80s my dad lived in Salida and had a logging lease somewhere in the Saguache area. My brother and I were visiting him one summer when we were teenagers. We spent a few days at his camp. It was beautiful and peaceful there.
I really enjoy visiting Colorado.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.

So quirky it's just too cool. Like Jay said, "This answers the engineering question no one asked"

While I'm thinking Motorcycles, here's another rare one's engine. Very ordinary, but could someone help me out with the pronunciation of this name, please?

I like my Schiittoff with sauerkraut. But it will give you the runs. Hence the name.

I was through Saguache today going down to Monte Vista to the Wildlife Refuge to look at the migration of the sand cranes.
