I’m amazed that there are so many simple machines that are a part of more complex machines that are a part of heavy-duty machines. Machines upon machines upon machines. I’m even more amazed at the idea of free corn on the cob. As a world-renowned expert on cooking and eating sweet corn, I can’t believe I wasn’t personally invited by the festival committee. I guess they’re not familiar with my blog. https://chefgcooks.blogspot.com/2021/04/corn-iowas-crop-americas-vegetable.html
Interesting stuff on the Hit and Miss gasoline engine. Just outside of MY Town, a pretty big antique tractor and power show takes place annually. I’ve attended several times and always get a kick out of the sound of those engines–large and small– chugging and banging away. I had no idea there was a name for those things. http://www.littleloghouseshow.com/general-information/
A most interesting article! Thanks!
Ever tried popcorn stuffing for the Thanksgiving turkey?
Its really easy.
You stuff the turkey full of popcorn, and when the popcorn blows hell out of the turkey — its done. 🙂

I don’t know why the system thinks you are a spammer — you are many things, but not a spammer! — but I have the power to approve the post, so I did so.
I didn’t see any previous comment, with the unquestioned impeccable integrity of someone such as yourself, I have no doubt of its legitimacy, whatever it was.
Maybe try again?
