Thanks for all the kind comments, gentlemen.  I can't take credit for the
SM's appearance... some prior restorer really did a good job on it.  My
contributions have been limited to a few small touches and one big check.

The color of the leaves in the background looks a little off in the photo
somehow, more greenish-yellow than it is in real life.  Kind of
over-exposed, I think.  But it's still a nice picture.

Ralph, very nice video of your Super 90.  As much as I enjoy dinking around
the neighborhood on the SM, what it really needs is some honest work to do.
That's a nice hay-hauling trailer in your video--I was wondering how many of
those round bales you could get on there, and then late in the video the
scene with the wheels still looking good answered my question--or at least
partially answered it, as in "at least that many."  That's got to be a lot
of weight, although a full load of stacked square bales would be a lot of
weight also.  I miss the smell of working with hay.

Gene, we had much of the same rain down here--it's sure been nice these last
couple of days to see some sunshine.  Bet Bandy enjoys it also.
