34 miles, leisturely day. Drove out of town a little ways to the Museum of Making, a rather eclectic collection of mostly machinery that the owner/oilman rescued when it fell into disuse. Started in the house, which looked like something out of a Jules Verne scenario. This is the fireplace, a steam engine built into the wall. Click on it for a larger version. 
And a gigantic (15 foot) weather vane built into the ceiling,,,,
A machine shop full of vintage tools all driven by lineshafts,,,,
Pat found a friend or should I say distant cousin of poor Tippy dog who is at home.
I found another truck that I want. Looks ratty but fresh under the hood, a driver.
This afternoon, a show and shine on Main Street in Cochrane.
Not much shining going on here,,,,,
David went in the Poor David Shop and they gave him a T-shirt.
Tomorrow, long day, 192 miles, hope it doesn’t rain too much.

Impressive collection, good to see them preserved so well. The weather vane is most unusual and quite beautiful.
POOR DAVID! Now, To find Becky a "POOR BECKY" shirt! They could stand on the street corner and make some gas money for the trip home! Just a thought...
