I plan to be at Rollag this year! Nick, we 3 should meet at a spot. I haven't been there for almost 20 years. Looking forward to the Case Expo.

Bill (Airspyder) usually attends Rollag (he lives near Anoka) and "Kevin Klein" has in the past too

I'm not looking forward to the 150 Case crowd... it was huge in Andover, can't imagine how many will be at Rollag to see it...

Bruce, great work on the Jensen. Do people modify the engines to have the steam exhaust go up the chimney?

Thanks Rog , Jan & everyone,  I like going down paths not generally taken ...it puts the excitement & fun/joy  in builds for me. The quickest way to get me to build something is to say it's impossible to build. ..or never been done before. 😉👍
