Steam Power Rules
So, Kim's Dad, Dale, has a steam powered toy tractor that's been passed down through the family. We got to watch it running yesterday while at her parents place. It runs on solid fuel that looks like paraffin wax. He's running out of the "true" fuel so Kim's brothers put some sterno in it to see if that would work. It worked and was hotter as the steam engine ran faster. The name of the tractor is the 1313 Mamod Steam Tractor and here's a picture. I can't believe that you can actually buy these things yet. They're made in England and it lists for around $150.

No football, no racing, cold weather...I hate this time of year.
nicer weather, skating, modding my car, babies moving... i love this time of year.
Derek...you are right, I forgot about the babies moving. So, it is rather a good time of the year.
yeah but you couldn't fit in that one. it's only 10 inches.
tell that kid to set still so we can get on with something more interesting
