This fridge was a prize from the Art Linkletter show given to a contestant/ someone in audience, descendants still use it today. So cold even the miller lite taste good! :)

Coming onto the farm. You have got to have your head on a swivel this time of year.

The grandsons enjoying our place.
The old "target" and arrows as they came from Bear.

The new "target" and new arrows, plus the Bear arrows upgraded with feather fletching. You can see the improvement in the arrows since the fletching upgrade. In the first photo the arrows are at a pretty steep angle to the target because the plastic vanes caused fishtailing. In the updated photo, the arrows are mostly perpendicular to the target.

How cool is that? I'd keep it too! A not quite well-known fact is that contestant winners are responsible for sales tax at retail value........

Absolutely true. Years ago ('01 dot bomb) I got laid off and temporarily took a job in a game room attached to a bingo hall. Occasionally, the bingo hall would have a vehicle as "grand prize." They got a HUGE turnout for this. I don't believe they ever actually gave the vehicle away because the winner could never afford the sales tax. They always had an "alternate" cash prize that was generally a much lower value than the vehicle (which were never high end cars to begin with).

There’s income tax, too.

Something noisy outside. Three Chinooks (last one lagging behind in formation) followed by four Blackhawks did a couple passes over A2, with the B-17 Yankee Lady in between that. Great day. What was odd is that they had large outriggers on both sides, like a seating area, or extra cargo carry room which would make more sense I guess. Just never saw that before.

Thunder Over Michigan airshow is this weekend.
