User Mikado282 Granary, Kansas.png

When I was 15 years old, I started driving 30 ton loads of grain to this and other Granaries. It was easy to convince East Coast city kids that the silos held nuclear missiles; which of course we all know is true.

When I first started playing TF2, BLU's "modern" architecture (like Dustbowl 3rd stage) specifically reminded of the post-war concrete architecture of this Farmer's CO-OP General Office and Feed Mill. (My grandfather founded that CO-OP.) After I had managed to break addiction to Railroad Tycoon and Civilization, it was the nostalgia of Team Fortress 2 that sucked me back in.

Compare with File:Bluarchitechture.png.

To be fair, here is the RED elevator, rare now (because the ones that were still being used and taken care of were painted white or silver after WWII). Compare with File:Redarchitechture.png. The classic red paint was a frugal homemade mixture of skimmed milk, lime and red iron oxide.



User Mikado282 IRL Loadout 01.png

(Heading out tonight to split wood on evening. I thought I should share my loadouts:)
My evening and weekend loadout: (clockwise from lower left) Back Scratcher (note the authentic antique stamped-metal tines), Wrench, Equalizer, Homewrecker, Axe, Shovel (entrenching tool), Hot Hand (20,000 Volt insulated gloves), and Market Gardener! I have had this equipment for years before Team Fortress 2 was released!
