You might notice that all the pics are of the KSW area at Maker Faire and the selection is pretty skimpy. That's because this year, I did not get out at all to go and see the rest of the fair. :-( Maybe next year. Sorry
Blaine is one of our first customers
Here's one of Dan's arm on the throttle valve for the red engine
Here's another one...
OK, it's official- I have way too many pictures of Dan's arm
Here's the setup with Pappy driving the Baker fan, which in turn drives the Dingus.
Dan in a cloud of exhaust from the red engine.

Me by the red engine.
and another one...
OK, this makes up for all the other events where I don't have a single picture of me
Nice shot, Dan! Thanks.
I think Stephen thinks that Dan was taking too many picture of me, so he wanted to get our attention.
Stephen had just thrown his glove at me and I caught it...
He's open mouthed, waiting to catch it...
Looks like Stephen caught it.
People in the crowd get into the shenanigans too. Does anyone know who the girl is leaning on the fence in all these pics? I wanted to tell her she has a nice smile. :-)
Here we are driving the Baker Fan with the red engine. Just to be different. Notice all the thick steam coming out of the exhaust...
Dan thought it would look cool to take this pic. So I took a bunch, hoping one would come out ...
The last one was probably better (steam)
Not sure if this one is any different...
or this one...
The steam is cool on this one, but it obscures the stamp
This one is probably perfect
This one just looks like he's smoking...
Serious Dan.
Happy Dan. This one I'll use to make his badge I think.
Dan getting ready to throw some snow (from the snow cone machine) into the running baker fan
Exhaust from the red engine blowing a hole in the asphalt. The heat from the steam softened it and the chuffing blew out the gravel. It only seemed to happen when we were putting it under heavy load (running the baker fan)
Come to think of it, that hole was already there...
