Evening Charlie! I got the motor/gearbox mounted on the mill today, and almost have the wiring done. Can't work on it tomorrow tho. Got a disabled old boy in Condon that needs Harley's and my help. Contractor screwed up his house and now he's broke. I managed to get some friends to donate some money for material, and we will rebuild the screwup tomorrow. Monday John is coming over to start the finish sheetrock work in the paint booth. Busy here.......

Harley and I help quite a few old , and dissabled folks around here. It's just the right thing to do...

I made a great score on the tooling! I got a very nice AMEERICAN made boring head with a full set of unused bits, a new set of fly cutters, a set of brand new collets from 1/16 - 3/4 and a few other bits and pieces for $250. Cost me another hundred to go get them. The head alone is about $700 retail. I think I did good......

Evening gang.

I'm whipped. I crammed two days worth of work at the farm into a 10 hour day. My back is screaming and I'm exhausted.

Going to have a few Gin and Tonics, eat and go to bed.
