I didn't plan to go to the show in Canada, just didn't want to leave the good ole' USA. I've been to Kansas several times over the past 35 years and have really enjoyed myself (not to mention the BBQ) there. I've been wanting to go back to the Ag Hall of fame just outside KC and felt this was the excuse I have been looking for. 
 Our plan (my plan as I'm the one driving and doing the scheduling) is to drive out to Ottawa on Wednesday and just hang out. Thursday morning will be the trip to the Ag Hall of Fame in Bonner Springs, then to Olathe to a  historical stagecoach stop and farm, then just down the road to Oklahoma Joe's BBQ joint. (guess they ran him out of Oklahoma! LOL)
 If it can be arranged I'd like to slip in a visit to the Buffalo ranch sometime Fri. or Sat. As I don't want to spend a full day on one of their tours, we will wing this on our own. 
 Fri. /Sat. --tractor show, tractor show, DairyQueen, and more tractor show. Sunday will find us &quot;eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin'&quot;. 
 I really enjoyed the article on the 2050/2150 in the last mag. My father in law had a 2150/2WD that he traded on a 2-180. He liked the White but always said he should have never gotten rid of the 2150. 
 My Brother in law has a nice 2050/2WD. Just sits in the shed as he loves to just buy collectable tractors and store them away. He farms with big Deere's. If a show close to southern IL or IN or MO would ever feature the 2050 I'd try to get him to take it. 
 I didn't realize how FEW of BOTH these tractors were made. 
 Enough for now, I'd better go ramble to someone else.
