This old Farmall makes for a pretty and cool Christmas ornament!
The International Harvester Farmall Super A was made from the late 40s to the mid 50s. There are still a good number of them around. Some guys like to mow with them. They are of the "bring your own padding" variety as that steel seat does not have a lot of cushion lol.
Can you believe it's mid January and some folks still have their Christmas lights up? Well I am glad they did because they really look nice at night, and that is what caught my attention to this store. I just knew I wanted to visit.
They just about run all the rubber bars off of these old tires. I guess they've done their share of work over the years.
Can you also believe that it is mid January and we hit 50° today? Now I realize it is not Florida type of warm weather, but it is still what I call not too shabby weather. I honestly feel bad for so much of the country because they are suffering from all time lows while we have not had a flake of snow so far. I have got to be honest and admit I do not miss the snow in the least.
We are hoping to get by this winter with zero snowfall, so if you want a Snowman, you better get you a hay bale Snowman!
Although it was a nice day today, it was still too windy to work cutting trees, at least for this chicken ass feller! So I decided to take a little drive over to Roanoke and check out the Willow Tree.

for the sublime Sunday tag where your random Sunday posts are always welcome!
While I enjoyed browsing all the different goodies available at the store I soon realized that it is hardly filled with antiques. I'm not sure if it is a matter of antiques just don't sell as readily as some newer, kitschy items, or it is simply the fact that there just are not very many antiques available to attempt to resell them in the first place.
I remember having a phone exactly like this minus the push buttons on the bottom, before we upgraded to pushbuttons for dialing!!
I remember my buddy Gary’s dad smoking cigars all the time so he became our ready supply of empty cigar boxes that we used at school to keep our supplies in our desk.
Regardless of how old the pieces are, it makes for an eclectic collection that is fun to check out for an hour or two on a sublimely beautiful Sunday.
Many of the items were nice, but they sure dont give them away cheap!
Judging from the 18 bucks he wanted per wrench, I have a nice stash o'cash worth of old ones at home!
I would have give 5 bucks for this old Oregon folding saw, but 25? Come on, man!?!
This old work bench came with two vices on it but still seems high at 200 bucks
This old anvil has done some work!
Apparently no love for the ganja 🤣
I walked out of the place 40 bucks lighter, but I figured that ain't too bad. Especially considering I bought some locally made jelly and honey. Everywhere I went people were talking about the unseasonably cold temperatures we've been having. A guy was even saying it could get as low as 25 in the next day or two.
Brrrr we don't want none of that noise! People could not help but talk about the huge snowstorm that is due to dump at least one inch on us tomorrow. Damn if it does come, I sure hope it melts soon!!
Have a good week!
