[AT] Red Power Roundup... holy cow, what a lot of tractors!

[Dean Vinson]

I made a quick trip up to the Red Power Roundup show at La Porte, Indiana,
today.  Never saw so many red tractors in one place before... it was
amazing.  Too short a visit to really pay attention to everything that was
there, but I did take a little video at the start of the tractor parade:

I also noted, with a little pride, that I looked at what must have been
dozens of very nice Super Ms... and not a single one of them had the
"transitional" grille (halfway between regular M/SM grille and the SMTA
grille).  I know there are some others out there, but the only two I've ever
seen in person have been the one I foolishly let go of a dozen years ago and
the one I just bought several weeks ago.  It's just a couple square inches
of sheet metal, but I like it.  :-)

Heck of a nice day for a tractor show, with lots of sun, not too much
humidity, and pretty bearable temperatures.

In the spirit of red/green color balance, I also plan to make a short trip
to the Ohio Two Cylinder Expo tomorrow (Saturday the 26th).  Consignment
auction starts at 10:00 a.m., for anyone in the southwestern Ohio area who
might be interested.  See website at http://www.ohiotwocylinderclub.org/.
