I actually built a trebuchet in my back yard not much smaller than those. Let's just say it was far to powerful for my backyard and my neighbors 3 houses down had far more tennis balls than they needed.

Funny thing is, I remember doing this as a child---the Farmall model H with a sickle bar ---- changing the teeth rivets was a knuckle breaking job
Never got involved in the cleaning of the teeth, but did spend a summer on the ranch my uncle managed with duties that included haying as I drove a tractor with those blades being pulled behind it.
Yes I can relate, I once put one tine of the pitch fork into my foot while moving loose hay before bailers were affordable.
Never went to any type of 'hospital' back then.
great memories

For this Friday's feature the subject is a cargo ship. When I went home and opened up my newspaper to my surprise I saw a scene that I had taken photos of myself at the same point in time as did the newspaper photographer.
Here is the newspaper's recent printed photo:

To start off this Friday, here is a momento from the school that brought us this year's NCAA Tournament Champions this week:
FWIW, I picked it up on a visit to the campus of Kansas University for an Explorer Scout Conference.
The visit was particularly memorable as it was the first and only time I saw a tornado. As the bus rolled into Lawerence, Kansas there was a twister swirling in the distance.
At the Explorer Scout Conference I was asked to report on the role of the Explorer Scouts in providing assistance to the Civil Defense efforts immediately after that same year's 1964 Good Friday Earthquake. Below are several of the photos I had taken that were included in my slide show presentation. Two of the Explorer Scouts providing assistance as we delivered incoming Ham Radio messages are pictured in the center photo:
Bash Bish Falls State Park
In the Berkshires, not too far from @ricko
Bash Bish Falls State Park is a Massachusetts state park located in the town of Mount Washington. Massachusetts' highest single-drop waterfall (60 feet (18 m)),[4] which lies within its borders
Located above the Androscoggin River between Topsham and Brunswick, the Androscoggin Swinging Bridge was built in 1892 to allow workers at the Cabot Mill to cross over the river. While it might look like a simple small-town bridge, it actually boasts a very famous maker. The Androscoggin Swinging Bridge was built by John A. Roebling’s Sons Company, who is responsible for the construction of the world-famous Brooklyn Bridge in New York City!
Though the bridge has been repaired a few times over the years, and many parts have been replaced, the cables are original to the 19th-century structure.
