Been a while since I have posted, but there is still plenty going on with the Simplicity's lately. Liv helped me move our 'school bus house' out by the road with her 616 the other day.

White Christmas
As of Christmas night I have had to plow the driveway three times! Yesterday was very cold, but even at 5 degrees the Sovereign started right up and got the drive plowed.

Bring on the snow
Got the blade on the Sovereign and the snowblower on Emma's Broadmoor 738. Still have to get the chains on the Broadmoor but we are ready to go!
A bucket for the Sovereign
Finally got the hitch worked out for the front bucket for the Sovereign. Can't wait to use this next spring!

Playtime is over!!
Playtime over in a big way! My friend Garret, his son and I were trenching new drain tile for a friend who had a pool installed and they cut through the existing pipes. So we had to trench new lines for three down spouts. I took Olivia's Simplicity Yeoman 616 and even in the 90 degree heat she ran probably 30 loads of pea stone. We also used it for grading the final lines and for grading some pea stone out of our way the pool installers put down. We didn't quite get it done so we need to finish up this weekend. Hopefully it will be cooler!

2022 Mi Steam Engine & Threshers Club meeting
This year's show went over very well. Olivia's 1967 Simplicity 616 Yeoman again took the award for most used during the show, using over two tanks of gas and running every day. Olivia pulled the people wagon, took kids on rides and let friends use her tractor. Izzy's 1967 Simplicity 515 Serf was next up using a solid two tanks of fuel. Hers is always a favorite due to being small and having the dual rear wheels. Several people got to drive it and she used it a couple times, too. All got used except for Alex's, as he was not there much due to soccer commitments. But it was a great show, we all stayed safe and nothing broke!
