May not look it, but I’ve been working on de-greasing and scraping grime from my Farmall off and on all week. Took the day today to do another cleaning, and got the Lift-All hydraulic system re-installed. Tedious work but it’s essential when it comes time to paint.

Terrific time, as always, at #WHA2025 in Albuquerque. Great panels and wonderful time meeting up with old friends and making new ones. I'm proud to say I ate chiles on every meal, too.

If you're at #WHA2025 I hope you'll join @cblevins.bsky.social, @regan008.bsky.social, Rachel Birch, Sean Fraga and myself on Friday at 8:15 to talk with us about generative AI and History. I have a strong feeling I might be quite curmudgeonly, so come join us!
