[SEL] Greatest job in the world.

[Orrin Iseminger]

Iron Classics Snow #404 (Rough and Tumble) is one of the best old iron
videos I've ever seen.  It is very well edited and there is virtually no
"dead time" in it.  Good job, Dave!

I have no connection with Iron Classics, just a satisfied customer.

So many projects.  So little time.

Subject: Greatest job in the world.

Last week I finished up a course in running a steam traction engine 
at Rough and Tumble in south east PA  (I highly recommend the course, 
great fun and 12 hrs of hands on out of 16 hrs of training.)

I worked beside Dave Muehsam  After we cleaned the boiler and lubed 
and checked everything and of course filled it with water, we had a 
little time while we waited for the water to boil so I asked him what 
he does for a living.  He goes to tractor shows and makes videos!  It 
takes him about a year to edit down a video and get it ready for 
sale, and then he is off to the next one.  It's a tough job but 
someone has to do it.

Here is a picture of my coworker doing research for his next video.
