  It was so neat watching the fawn yesterday. It never moved at all. Last time I checked it was 3 PM. Went into shop for a little bit. Out at 4 and mother had returned and took fawn.

  I am sure we will see this one again plus others.

Did you rip the tenderloins out of that fawn?   😂

 

They are sure taking their time cleaning up my last pile of White bass guts.   Wish they'd get busy because when the breeze blows from an easterly direction it's getting a bit rank around here. 🤧

I've heard about this for years, and we were in the neighborhood over the weekend so we stopped by. Pretty darned impressive piece of machinery. 'Big Brutus', who created some fine strip pits in SE Kansas from 1963 to 1974:

Boom is 160 feet

Scoop held 90 cubic feet, 150 tons of Kansas

Speed 0.22 MPH

Weight ~ 11 million pounds

Build on site; parts brought in on 150 railcars

Ol' fella is missing some teeth.  Another fun fact that doesn't carry the slightest bit of truth, ... it was designed to be powered by either mastodon fat or a hearing aid battery.  

Seriously though, the body of that thing is so big, in order to house the teams of draft horses required to run it.  Also a completely fabricated fact.
