Well, the board is either fixed, or it's going to run terribly. Cross your fingers and hope for the best. I'm at my technical limit right now.

Re: Spurs and the Great West
When I first saw this place in 1950, there was just a wooden frame around it with a couple of windows to look down into it.
The Big Well is a large historic water well in Greensburg, Kansas, United States. Visitors entered the well for a small fee, descending an illuminated stairway to the bottom of the well.
It was built in 1887 at a cost of $45,000 to provide water for the Santa Fe and Rock Island railroads, and it served as the municipal water supply until 1932. It was designated a National Museum in 1972.
It is billed as the world's largest hand-dug well, at 109 feet deep and 32 feet in diameter.
The well had a visitor's center detailing the history of the well's construction. On May 4, 2007, a tornado hit Greensburg, destroying the center. The well reopened on May 26, 2012.

At Cedar Creek, Texas, stands Ms. Pearl. At 14 feet, she may be the world's largest squirrel.

Re: Spurs and the Great West
There is a lot of controversy about where the geographical center of things lie. There are monuments for the centers of North America, the contiguous 48 states, and the fifty states, Probably there are others as well. Rugby, North Dakota claims to be at the center of North America, although others say no, it is several miles away. Not a big deal. Probably its main value lies in the tourist dollars it generates.

Fury (retitled Brave Stallion in syndicated reruns) is an American western television series that aired on NBC from 1955 to 1960. It stars Peter Graves as Jim Newton, who operates the Broken Wheel Ranch in California; Bobby Diamond as Jim's adopted son, Joey Clark Newton, and William Fawcett as ranch hand Pete Wilkey. Roger Mobley co-starred in the two final seasons as Homer "Packy" Lambert, a friend of Joey's.
The frequent introduction to the show depicts the beloved stallion running inside the corral and approaching the camera as the announcer reads: "FURY!..The story of a horse..and a boy who loves him.
It was filmed at Jungleland USA in Thousand Oaks, California, and also at nearby Iverson- and Corriganville Movie Ranches near Simi Valley, California.

The Gabby Hayes Show is a general purpose western television series in which the film star and Roy Rogers confidant, George "Gabby" Hayes (1885–1969), narrated each episode, showed clips from old westerns, or told tall tales for a primarily children's audience. The first Hayes program ran on NBC at 5:15 p.m. Eastern for fifteen minutes three times per week and preceded the puppet series, Howdy Doody. It aired from December 11, 1950, to January 1, 1954. The second version was a half-hour broadcast on Saturday mornings, carried for only thirteen weeks from May 12 to July 14, 1956, on ABC.
The show was sponsored by Quaker Oats' puffed cereals, which were "shot from guns". As was common at the time, the host delivered the commercial. This often included Hayes firing a small cannon loaded with the cereal at the camera, while warning the viewers to "Watch out for your televisionary sets!"
The floor manager for the show was Fred Rogers (of children's television show Mister Rogers' Neighborhood ) until 1953 when he left NBC to start working in public television.

Re: Spurs and the Great West
Well, I'm back and apparently none the worse for wear. I had minor chest surgery so it will be a while before I can shoot or lift anything heavy.
