 Hoolie with "EDDY THE WOOD-BURNING TRACTOR" vehicles ran on wood. The Lehtola brothers from Paradise Road near Chassell built "Eddy." It took them four years to build the tractor using Gengas design. Eddy the Wood Burner is built on a John Deere frame. It has a 1964 Ford Falcon engine with a Chevrolet transmission and a GM truck rear end with mechanical brakes. The roof is a Kelvinator refrigerator door. and your looking at one of them! |

 Hoolie and I at his camp writing for the new fart album. In the above photo Hoolie grabbed the camera thinking he was getting a shot of me coming up with a great idea. Just after he snapped the photo a long, rank wet one rasped from my torrid sphincter.... |
 WAIT, I'VE GOT IT! I'VE GOT IT! "FFFTSPPP-RRRSPPPT-SPLUGGGT- FLPHHH-PT-PT-PT!" Hoolie attempts to top me, and does! After I snapped the photo, he staggered for the out house screaming; "I THINK I SH-T MYSELF!!! |
 Hoolie cooks up some breakfast for us...um...mostly me.... |
 Da Yoopers Tourist Trap billboard crashes down on unsuspecting, bulb danglin' employee! Hoolie warned Bill-bob not to get to crazy with the Christmas lights. After poking him with a stick a few times, then running in to grab some coffee, then telling me to grab my camera, Hoolie heroically saved Bill

 Dennis is the dude on the left. He and his partner on the right work for
"Cook Signs." Dennis says making signs isn't all it's cracked up to be |
|
Hoolie prepares to help lower the sign |
 Hoolie directs the placement of the sign as I watch in amazement
|
 Here's Billy putting up the other side of the sign. I came out to give Billy a hand. I asked Billy if the sign was supposed to read that way before snapping the photo, he said, "I'm a carpenter, not an artist!" We both proceeded to scramble to correct ourselves before Hoolie returned from Menards |
 Here Bill, let me do some hammering AHHHRRRGGG!
