Cornmeal

One of the cool things at the Apple Festival was some of the old machinery. There was one off those old John Deere Pop-Pop motors that only hit a power stroke every now and again.

And there was this Cornmeal Mill.


It was pretty cool. They had the thing running, but there wasn't any corn in it.Here's a look at it running. Notice that Big Ass Flywheel. Most of these old things seem to have them. Below is a look at the end where the cornmeal is supposed to be coming out, but as you can see, there ain't none.We did enjoy the festival.
The weather here is still pretty warm. Some leaves are falling, but it still feels a lot like summer. At least it cools off at night.
We finally watched that Avatar flick. It was pretty good. Of course we didn't see it in 3-D. But we did like it. We'll watch it again before we send it back.
