I went to the West Mid Show yesterday. It’s an agricultural show held every year, near the town where I grew up. Although we did look at most of the exhibits, the main reason for visiting was the impressive display of tractors, diggers, combine harvester, ploughs, bailers, mowers, quad bikes etc. Most of the day was spent watching my 4 year old nephew play on all this equipment, punctuated by me nervously saying phrases like, “Please don’t do that!”, and, “Don’t break it, I don’t have a spare £26,000 to buy a broken tractor”. It’s amazing how a four year old can find novel ways to break agricultural equipment. 🙂

I live close enough to the Vista California Antique Gas & Steam Engine Museum ( http://www.agsem.com/exhibits.html ) to hear the steam whistle (actually, 2-3 miles away). A couple times a year they have shows with a large number of antique engines from around the region. There are quite a number of ways to not have a four stroke engine.
