How do you think they made ICE CREAM in days of old before my Granddad built freezers.... In fact they still sell those old ice and salt ice cream makers.

Short story: Went to an "Event" (Festival type) one of the vendors was Grandma's Home Made Ice Cream" (Was good too) next to the consession trailer was an old ice cream maker.

Hit and miss gas engine turned the "Crank" and of course it used ice and rock salt,,, I think it was about 5 gallons.

Folks (Who had never seen a hit/miss engine) were saying it sounded like it was not running right, or running out of fuel... Sounded 100% to me (And to it's owner) but then... I am occasionally known as John from Detroit,,, Detroit is border to border with Dearborn,, Home of the the Edison Institute, (Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village) I used to have a "Friends" pass (Annual pass). and have visited often.. On of the village buildings... Came from my home town just a few miles from where I grew up.

I think that this January in Quartzsite next door to BB's was the type of ice cream maker wa8yxm mentions. Of course the DW and I were only interested in the scooter next door to the ice cream vendor, we wouldn't be caught dead in BB's. No cold brews or live Country music for us, it's rock hard church pews and good HF&D sermons for us.

Can one go to he!! for lying?, I hope not.
