 Topic: Allis Chalmers Museum on TV
Posted: 06 Jan 2012 at 5:42pm |
|
A guy from the channel 20, Springfield. Il. TV station came out a few days ago to do a piece on the Museum. It aired tonight on the 5PM news. They have it on their website if anyone is interested in seeing it. The website is www.wics.com click on "Sunrise on the Farm", then Allis Chalmers Museum. It shows a couple of secret projects I have been working on and was going to unveil them at the OPOP Show this year.
The only thing I have to complain about is on the news tonight they referred to me as "an elderly farmer."LOL

You look young to me. I was in the local Rual King just before Christmas and happend on to a fellow that was several grades behind me in school. Chatted with him a few minutes and he came up with the idea that we, me included, are now the older generation. If that aint a blast in the behind. The whipper snapper said he was retired. What are they gonna think of next?

I have got to get up there and see this wonderful place. I'll just tell my wife I'm going to take her to see Paris in the summer......maybe the swelling will be down enough for me to see good by the time we get to Il.

My wife told me about it. She qued in on the Channel 20 News teams comments last night. She and my daughters say that I have a mistress and that her name is Allis. Honestly, I think AC is growing on them too. They will notice an AC in a passing fence row long before I do sometimes.

Dale, don't dwell so much in the "older" part of the reporters phrase, and notice the "gentleman", cause he got that right. The quote in the interview I like was "I took a headcount"........when your at that point you're truly committed.......or should be. LOL
