Tractor Pull: Druncle Edition

This past weekend we went to the tractor pulls. That picture up there is the preparation of the tractor pull field area. This exhibition area is in Pike, NY and only used for tractor pulls.

In case you're not sure what a tractor pull is, it's when a tractor like this neat green one above pulls a weight and sees how far they can pull it. Like vehicles compete against each other in pulling the weight.

This is the weight that they pull and that mound of dirt at the end is the goal. The screen there puts up the distance pulled and is perched on the back of a 4 wheeler.

While all of this was going on, Fancy's Druncle was there. He goes every year and a couple years back fell down the bleachers. This year he nearly got in a fight which was fun to watch. Best part is you can't even understand that he's saying most of the time.

See? Isn't he awesome. We love the tractor pulls.

Wyoming County Carnival: Outhouse Edition

The Wyoming County parade is tomorrow, but last night we headed to Pike, NY for a little party at the Carter Commune. I managed to pull Fancy away for a brief walk over to the fair so that we could score some fried dough. It was delightful. If you like carnivals, Pike is having one all week.

Back at the Carter Commune, they rented a portable toilet for the fair. You read that right, they rented a toilet for their friends and family to use when they park at their house to pre-game/party/hang out during fair week. Oh, and don't even think that you're special enough to get to use the house crapper.

Unless of course you have the key, then by all means go right ahead.
