The International Stage

As we’ve been saying, on Saturday night the Long Beds played on the International stage (thanks, George!):

The view from inside the venue:

There were some sweet red tractors there as well. And I signed a lot of these.

The event was in support of these folks.

Wisconsin Historical Society

This photo reminded me again what a wonderful place the Wisconsin Historical Society is. If you’re ever in Madison, you won’t regret dropping in.

This is also the place to go for anything and everything IH. Y’know, if you’re the sort of person who likes that sorta thing.

I’m a member.*

*At least I think I sent my check…better look through the big stack of paper on the floor beside the desk…

Used that ’51 International last night. Had a four-year-old ridin’ co-pilot.

Good to see some familiar names in this article.

And a familiar color, as seen on this book cover, this book cover, and this guitar…

Truck Lost on Shelves

Just got an email from a reader who writes:

i just finished Truck. i came across it accidentally at the library while looking for books on anti-lock brakes. go figure, huh. but what a grand stroke of luck.

And a grand stroke a luck for me as well. Because as I wrote here, it’s not the first time my Truck has been stuck where you might least expect it.

Pictures from France

I’ve done several posts about the 2009 Red Power Parade (perhaps because I got to be grand marshal of a parade consisting of nothing but International Harvesters…surely a Top Ten country boy moment) (as a result of this book), and here’s another one inspired by an email I just received from Jean Cointe, an International Harvester dealer and aficionado from France. Seems Jean was clearing out his digital camera and found these two photos:

Fearless leader “Other Mike” reviews the parade route.

You may be the Grand Marshal, but when the Scout runs dry halfway through the parade, you will bail out and push just like everybody else!

Ogling International Harvesters

Last year I was privileged to be part of the Red Power Roundup. Now there’s a gorgeous full-color book available documenting the event. I know there are at least a couple of photos of a balding Binder lover in there.

Oh Yah, Forgot About That Bull…

Hadn’t thought about the bull for a few years…then I did this interview with the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel.
