CLOSING WORD
Although this column is closing in early January, by the time it
hits the street we should be into February, and with it the hope
that another Iowa winter is about past. While we have no intention
of wishing away something as valuable as time, unpredictable Iowa
winters make Spring something to appreciate. Even though it is
cold, there still comes an excuse for playing with old iron
occasionally. A recent storm caused a power outage of several
hours, but not for us to worry. The Witte diesel started without
any problem, and after switching over it ran the place for several
hours. Now there's a selling point when bringing another old
engine home they're PRACTICAL!
