What is this world coming to?
I just got back from a trip to the Great North West. I visited my dad after 16 years of not traveling up his way. He's been down a few times and we've been in touch on the phone and on the internet....

A few weekends ago I went to a outdoor "Festival" in the town I happened to be parked in.. Easy to get to.. Take the road out of the park I normally take in and out and when I get to the highway... Go Straight..
Well there was a vendor there: Grandma's Home Made Ice Cream.
Beside the trailer was a genuine ice cream maker,, I think it was a 5 gallon size, but it was just like the old hand cranked units I recall with a tub (Wooden banded) full of ice and rock salt (For demo use they omitted the salt) and a very bright, well polished, tub turned by, not a hand crank but an old Hit and Miss gasoline engine.. Now that was sweet..
Some of the comments I heard about that engine.. Like "Sounds like it's missing" (well, yes, hit and Miss engines do miss more than they hit).
Sounds like it's not running right (Sounded perfect to me).
Sounds like it's running out of fuel (During the misses, there is no fuel consumption, only when it goes "CHUFF" (hites) does it draw fuel)
That was a thing of beauty.
