Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
Love that engine museum! I’m gonna have to check that out! Here’s my hand-me-down lunchbox i had in elementary school in the early ‘90’s. My aunt used it when she was in school and gave it to me. I’ve still got it packed away somewhere. I borrowed this picture from the net.

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
I lived about three blocks from grade school and usually went home for lunch.
High school was "double sessions" so you went straight through either before or after noon. Not sure what I did for lunch my last couple years after moving to CO, but the last half of my senior year I was done with classes before noon and going to work. Quote:

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
All the schools here had top shelf lunch rooms. I never took my lunch and had no desire to.
I can still smell that chili and home made cinnamon rolls on Friday. Lots of good cooks here in the sticks.

Thoroughly enjoyed all the pictures of the museum too. Automotive and memorabilia. They definitely were purposeful about how things were displayed and it presents very well. |

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
Well I have lived in NE my whole life, but have never ventured to the Speedway Motors museum. Should probably put that on my list.
The Valley center pivot irrigation systems are built in my town, Valley NE. by Valmont industries. They are a major employer in the area, they export pivots all over the world, they also are a major player in metal light poles, and a huge galvanizing facility. There is only one Frank Lloyd Wright home in NE. in McCook. It is a private residence and is not open to the public. Enjoying your adventure. Greg

Great pics and stories! You’re making good progress as you traverse our country. You could run into some rain today

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
Oh yeah
A very nice visit Thanks Pete for showing me around -All those back roads -The four story salvage barn ‘That you want everything, but don’t need anything’ And your old tire plant that is the size of a small town . Oh, by the way as I headed out of there, I noticed so many of the farms That have the same blue silos lined up to the old one |

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
What are the chances Elyse will be the only girl in class that knows the terms "hugger orange, highlander plaid, K5, K10, K20 and Dana 60"?

One of the older kids in the neighborhood had a Race Inc. To us, he was a virtual magician, wizard, pro whatever you'd want to call him. His was near identical 'cept for the Cooks Bros forks, FMF bars and blue Snake Belly tires. Hadn't seen nor thought about Race Inc in no less than 40 years! Thanks for that! Those were simpler times for sure

Eric was a real pleasure having you here! Thanks for the visit. I’ll give her the thanks. She kept talking about the scooter ride.

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
The blue silos brand name was Harvestore. Another name for them was Blue Tombstone because they put a lot of good farms under. Just cost way to much money for how much they would hold. Nice trip.

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
Enjoyed the conversation Eric, you’re easy and interesting to talk to. Always like to hear stories involving trucks that we’re so passionate about. Glad you found a good spot to kickback for the evening.
