Randy Gross of cast iron brake drum and F-100 steering fame just called from California to tell me he would have stopped on the hill and helped me! I believe he actually would have. Well, that's one. The next Model A engine that I have to move from the lower carriage house level to the upper one, I'll give Randy a call so that he can fly back here to southeastern Iowa and help me pull the engine up the Bridge Avenue mountain side.
Thanks, Randy! Too bad your willingness to help someone struggling with an obviously over-matched burden isn't a characteristic embraced by the people in this town. Actually, I didn't really expect anyone here to do so, so no major letdown on my part. "Expect little and ye shall not be disappointed."
