[AT] KY machinery show today

[robinson at svs.net]

	Diana and I went to the Louisville KY farm machinery show today. Very crowded for a week 
day. I spent much of the day winking at Diana and saying "damn farmers"...   ;-)   I have 
a basic instruction for all attendees of such shows... When you see some one to talk to 
or want to look at something... Move the hell out of the aisle !!!   :-)   Farmers spend 
too much time alone and they act like there is nobody else around to think about. I also 
followed a lot of guys that must have thought they were Allis Chalmers Roto-balers... 
They would mosey along slowly for a short bit then stop then repeat all the way down the 
aisles.   :-)   That is not a problem without a crowd but this place was often down to 
just having to shuffle along elbow to elbow.
	It was a good show if you like all that new fangled stuff. I was disappointed to not see 
any classic tractors there this time. It is an absolutely huge show but we covered it 
pretty fast since I had only a casual interest in much of it. As usual there was a fair 
amount of tobacco stuff there but I believe much less than say 5 years ago. They still 
grow a good bit of it in KY and southern Indiana but I don't believe there is a single 
stalk grown in this county or north of here. If so I have never seen it growing. Kind of 
funny actually since a good bit is grown only 30 miles south of here.
	I was mostly interested in hay equipment and storage and then mostly looking for ideas I 
could steal.
