[Farmall] Images of Jim Moran's McCormick Deering 10-20, etc.

[James Moran]

To the Farmall Group-
   
  Often, members ask something along the lines of "where are you located, etc."
   
  Would there be any interest on the parts of some of you in posting actual addresses?  The reason I ask is that Google Earth affords one the opportunity to view "from outer space" virtually any spot on the earth.  The images are not "real time" (maybe 1.5-2 years old) and the resolution varies (e.g., New York City is really clear, the North Pole...not so much). Anyway, it might be interesting to actually "see" where we live.  I am assuming that you folks are familiar with this Google service.  It is free and is really kind of fun.
  Just a thought.
