A lot depends on how much you want for the tooling I need. I'd gladly pay shipping if you don't want a ton of cash for what I need. Pat is coming out next spring to get a rust free pickup box I gave him for his 67 project and would be willing to bring "stuff" out this way, but there is a few things I could sure use now...

I'm OK for another mounth because I'm going to tear the mill down, hot tank all the parts, then paint and reassemble.

Hell, if I had the cash, I'd fly ya out here just for a visit!
We'll figure something out.
40 hrs from me to Pat, I don't have your addy, so I couldn't get a time, But I imagine will add quite a few more hrs, plus the 3 hrs you loose going west!

Yep. That's the argument I'll have to make with the wife for making that trip next spring!!

Don, you're like I was, the day they called and said the 06 was in, and it wouldn't be ready until the following day. I didn't sleep at all that night!!

Not a problem! Big fifthwheel trailer, 1 ton truck, and enough chains and binders, it ain't going anywhere!

Good morning Oregon FTE gang and friends.

Morning Don, Charlie and Pat.

I checked out for a few days... went down to our place at the coast and did a little relaxing and crabbing. Got 14 crabs on Sunday.

I've got about 20 pages of BS to read through in the next little bit. Just wanted to send a quick shout out.
