[Steam-engine] relief valves and Local Junk Show...

[Ken Majeski]

Well, My Local Junk show is over for another year.... Sawed 198 2 X 6's and 
a bunch of boards,  and Threshed about 350 Bu of oats with my 24 Minnie and 
the Hopeless Case. Minnie never Popped all day under the capable hands of 
Dale Noel and Ted Knack. Case Popped twice, one time while the bundle 
pitchers were trying to Run It out of Steam and another after finishing with 
the 5 bottom plow. This was with 2 different engineers so I couldn't even 
chew anybody out. The 10 Year old Kunkle worked just Fine...  I Really had 
Fun this year, Got to run the Mill some and threshed a load with the 1 
cylinder Rumely Oilpull. Pretty good turnout for a local show and lots of 
Video Cameras....
