That Ahrens Fox is really cool! What is the chrome ball on top of the pump?

The pump is a six-piston pump. When in operation, each piston creates a pulse. The chrome dome is traditionally called an "Equalizing Sphere" and eliminates the pulses in the discharge side of the pump.

Here is a different AF with a better view of the piston pump.

Many thanks for the story details and fantastic scenaries!

Great to hear you have that done with your dad. Pretty sure a lot of to talk about during long hours of driving. The Grand Canyon photo's take the breath away. And just cry "you should go there look that yourself!". Maybe some year, some day... 

The only thing I haven't figured out is what were those bistits you've got at breakfast in Winfall? Ok, I see, that wasn't Winfall. So never mind. 

I like to eat breakfast over at the Winfall Diner. The kitchen seems kind of disorganized sometimes,

but they always manage to get things done.

My favorite is the big breffist platter, you get some of everything.
