I learned steam from a man who worked with and for a travelling threshing outfit. THey'd go from august to november more or less east to west then north a shift west to east then north again and back east to west...from Oklahoma then Nebraska to illiois and then Ohio then north again through insian and illinois and then the dakotas...

Must ahve been an interesting life.
