Just an FYI to those who are coming out of state and plan on hanging out after hours of the show, bring mosquito spray! With DEET is best, the last couple years the mosquitos have been bad they will carry you away they are the size of birds!

I dug out our “ThermaCell’s”. 

These have always worked very well for us in the battle with mosquito’s. Best $25 we ever spent.

Looking forward to seeing every one! I've got one tractor to paint this weekend & two more to get out of hibernation then I think I'll be ready.

 

Is any body bringing any :wh: signs or banners to hang on the building? Some :rs:signage would be cool too.

Which one were you painting, or is that another surprise tractor?

I painted a Simple City for a friend of mine. It should be there on Thurs. night, if the rest of his parts show up so he can finish the assembly on time. This is his first resto, I think he has put on about 200 miles running back & forth to the hardware store so far.:lol:

Would a few cans of that yard treatment be a good idea?  

I got one of those propane yard fogger :thingy: if I remember to throw it on. Don't know if it works or not but won't hurt to try. There is a drainage ditch ( a manageable one Dan :lol:)  on the east side of the grounds. Always has stagnant water in it and we suspect the source of the skeets. Don't know why the city doesn't treat it. We always joked it is a moat to try and keep the green & yello tractors from getting in. :D

 

BTW Cindy saw yer line up on FB Dan and commented "what is he trying to do, play catch up with us" !

All of them.  :ROTF:  

 

I’d have to say 5-6 hours, plus my father in-law helped about an hour too.

Spending a peaceful morning getting tractors ready!  Woo hoo!  The Commando needed a battery, Frank’s stack needs more welding, Putt Putt’s dang recoil won’t grab, Hot Wheels lost the Pepsi can stack that @953 nut told me had probably 10,000 miles on it and they’re all filthy!

Attached is s photo of the building at the Portage, Wisconsin fairgrounds that has been designated for the Wheel Horse tractors!  We need to fill it and I think we will!  Don’t forget to bring display items for decorating the building!
