Who cares if it's not the correct windshield, ruined it changing it from original colors of red to teal anyway.

Thank you for sharing!

Where was Hobofest held?

All that heavy long clothing..... I think meant to keep women busy washing cloths by" hand " !

My grandmother was born in 1906. She had pictures like these. She married 1924 and died 1999

I can’t stop lookin’ at ‘em either, Bill !!

Thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures! They are truly a blessing for those of us who love history. God Bless!

One of the few boats that look sweet at every angle

Hi Bob. I bought this series off you a number of years ago and watch it over and over again over the years. It always gives me great pleasure- almost a spiritual experience. Thanks again for creating this masterpiece. i know you have been disappointed with the uptake of this series, but I wanted you to know again, how much I appreciarte it and will continue to do so. It ias a wonderful body of work!!! Best wishes, John from Australia,

I blew up the exact same Homelite engine running it wot on lake Hartwell in SC in 1970. It threw a rod out the side of the engine block. The boat was a 16' West Wind trihull. The same pitch prop was on the motor and boat both bought in 1966.

He can sing ok, but he cant play banjo or guitar to save his life.

What a beautiful spokesman your photos are for Illinois- the corn cribs, silos, rusty but lovely remnants of transportation- the big, dramatic sky. Thank you...loved every well thought out and conceived shot.

the house at 5:35 looks just like the design of my house that was built in 1835 still going strong with the old creek stones foundation too. i wonder what the original owner would think if he knew someone was still keeping it alive. these old places hold a great spirit. being that design was so popular i wonder if it was a design out a catelog or something people could replicate. favorite house design ever i belive they call em i-homes or L-homes

Miss ya Jeff!

Nice

My grandfather's brother Joseph was an early farmer in Bond County, as was the relatives Marti family/ Joseph Buchmiller's wife was Emma Theresia Hammer. No doubt there was a connection to the photographer. Hope someone can make identifications.

Good stuff

Outstanding!! Thank you for sharing ❤

I loved when my gma would go through her photos with me, she knew where each was taken and when, who they were and what they were doing. She even knew what the air was like, or what the house smelt like. There was one of her not smiling, but always noted that she did not feel like smiling in that picture. I never knew why but she always mentioned that.

Those don't look like poor farmers - they could like reasonably well off land owners who treat farming as a business, rather than just a means to survive. Is there any documentation of poor farmers? Too many people think that farm life was ideal like this, and that city life was rotten (so why did the poor farmers move to the city then, eh???). Not that I'm saying what these peopel in these photos did was wrong. It certainly isn't! I'm sure they were fantastic at their trade! But these photos don't tell the whole story is the point that I'm trying to make.

clicked on this video because I wanted to know about the red boat that was on the click photo. You didn’t even cover or mention it. another click bait.

So fun to see (Dr.-Prof. former Viet Nam War Vet ) Bob Johnson, G.C. Class of 68 --always a burr under the saddle at G.C. --before becoming my roomie's husband! He was a member of the college a capella choir, I believe --as a student --nickname "Lassie" for the hairdo ? shock of blonde hair flying as he whizzed down the campus street on his skate board --surfer style in the Beach Boys' era. He surprised people with his acting acumen in a serious drama --his senior year, i believe -- Didn't know he would eventually write songs!

My son in law

I have a Fisher-price 55hp and a Homelite 55hp outboard that I want to sell. They are the same motors. Please contact me if you are interested

Again, Greg. Why is the fire extinguisher where the fire will be? Who will reach into a fire to get the extinguisher? Mount it where the captain can quickly access it.

Great boat and great work; but why is the fire extinguisher mounted where the fire will likely be? The extinguisher should be placed where the fire ISN'T likely to be and within easy, fast reach of the captain.🤔

Beautiful boats, this really takes me back, my dad's boat was a 1963 Crestline with a 1967 johnson 60 hp.

It looks very labor intensive to restore a boat like that. They look like works of art. These boat were made and assembled by real craftsman. Almost a lost art. Mr. Bill Jacket is very Knowledgeable. Thank you for such a great video. 🙂

Loved this glimpse into the the past!

Like it but wanted more time on each pic, so I slowed the speed down- great video!

I'm trying to locate thermostat for 1964 homelite outboard 55hp? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Greg, where can I get Homelite parts? Impellers points condensers, etc

Thank you very much.

Beautiful snd rare.

Love this video so much ❤️
