I also reviewed my old Picasa album but it's too new; earliest shots are about 2003-ish.

I say “apocryphal”, but I was there and I can swear to it authenticity :-) So can Farmer and we all know that Farmer would never tell a tall tale....<br>
<br>
I am actually looking for a picture of that day. Someone on this list has it on their public collection somewhere and I am sure of it because I followed their link and saw it recently. I could’ve swore it was Dean Vinson but I did not see it in his farm life page. Maybe Steve Offiler ?<br>
<br>
Anyways, if anyone that could point me to a picture of that dynamometer day at Portland in the late 90s I sure would appreciate it.<br>
