I know they have changed and probably for the better but today the Roostertails just aren't the same. The sound is different also. <br /><br />Yes Bob does all the splitting by himself. Actually he drops the trees out in our woods. The he saws them into rounds we haul them up to the shop and he splits and stacks them in the shed. I tell him to go easy cause I want him around a little longer well a lot longer. He is 82 and tells me he paces himself. I hope so. I help him too.<br />MBSmall City Sceneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307313549480618415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032728450352522.post-76840804948755445372016-08-31T13:49:36.303-07:002016-08-31T13:49:36.303-07:00Interesting museum.

When I was in high school in the late 50's, our family was lucky enough to get to watch the races from the boom on a Wakefield trawler. No wonder its always sunny in my memories.Celiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14485118642482033233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032728450352522.post-82101213564587883012016-08-31T13:07:10.156-07:002016-08-31T13:07:10.156-07:00Oh I hope you find Thomas.
