Fryeburg Fair, part five… the husband’s favorite section.

.

While I love seeing the animals at a fair, my husband prefers the old and rusty things in the village of yesteryear.

.

.

Some interest him from an engineering stand point, some remind him of his childhood on the farm.

.

.

Yes, he spread his share of manure when he was a boy.

Good times.

There’s a wonderful museum at the Fryeburg Fair filled with antiques. The old wall phone I want to put in the man cave, the one that I’ve been endlessly searching for was right there in the middle… in perfect shape and mocking me with its unavailability.

Husband got a kick out of these old washing machines.

.

.

This one was called Easy and never has a product been more egregiously misnamed.

The husband, pointing out all the rusty crap he has at home.

I can’t imagine dragging this behemoth around every time I wanted to take a picture.

.

.

And because no post about old tools is complete without a game of Name That Crap..

.

.

What is it?

.

Random nonsense and something for Mark…

.

Because there’s never a lack of ridiculous things to talk about.

.

.

Do I need to color rainbow animal poop? I do not, but speaking of pooping animals…

.

The required new Lord Dudley Mountcatten shot.

Another item has been added to the husband’s man cave display of torture implements old tools. A hobbler as seen on the upper left. He says it’s for cows, I’m wondering if it will fit in my purse so I can use it on him the next time we go antique shopping.

And lastly, something for Mark…who has a thing for flamingoes and likes to decorate for Halloween.

.

I’m always thinking of you buddy.
