Morning Don.
I saw an article in the Oregonian several weeks back about businesses in Oregon and the supposed improving economy. The picture featured was of some steel rods that were being processed into bolts. It sure looked like the guy was feeding the stock into an automatic screw machine. Do you think a modern manufacturer would still be using and automatic screw machine to manufacture bolts?

Yes Tiny, they are still heavily used in industry. Most of the "big" outfits have gone to automatic CNC machines, but lot's of smaller company's are still using the older machines...

Morning Don, Tiny, Roy! Yeah, I'm bummed summer is gone. Roy, good luck selling the truck!
Did manage to get about 3/4 of the paint off of the cab this weekend. Paint stripper is nasty stuff!

Any chance you are actually heading out to see Don?..........I could make use of that stuff he is holding for me, but aside from mon/tues (which are accounted for) I have no time or funds for a expedition east.
Right now, my camper is sitting on the truck with no tie-down brackets.
How big are the tie downs? I'm going out to Don's on Wednesday, in my Mustang, if I have room I can get them to Prineville.
