Camping anyone!

Who or How many of my fellow WV FTE friends camp and/or have an RV?
If you do, here is and idea to spend a weekend (or week) at some camp ground somewhere around the state. We could have a good time and meet for more than a few hours!

80 Pinto 2.3! I had a 76 that I ran the dog-S out of for 10 years. I would like to find a good body and put one back on the road.

Well the first weekend in August would sound good! I dont have any trips scheduled that month.

Well guys, I'm over in Summers County...just a stone's throw from Alderson. When you guys wanna do something...just yell and we'll meet somewhere!

Don't have a RV or a camper...the pontoon boat for the Bluestone is next on my list!

I have a boat (2 years now) never had it in the water.

Use the camper about every month and meet alot of great people!

I do like to fish from a boat! Fished Blurstone a few times.

Ever hear of aluminum corrosion?

That is aluminum dry rotting into aluminum oxide.
Metal turns white and brittle with blisters on it.

When I worked at a metal alloy plant some time back in plant protection. One week I greeted and signed the visitors in and escorted them to their destination. A group came in “The Society For Non-Destructive Testing”. I about died laughing when I read the name of the group.

What is someone going to stick something in somewhere in a piece of metal that they should not like popping the neighbors dog or making saw marks on the metal with a hacksaw like whip stripes on a horse? Will the Metal police (NDT) get me like the ASPC?

Hmmm, that's a new group on me. I've met a lot of NDI guys but they've never mentioned the Society for Non-Destructive Testing.

I wondered it they were going to make sure we did not drowned a tube or rod in our under water ultra-sound tank. The tank is 90’ long, 2’ wide and 3’ deep. Thought they might think we were leaving the rod in too long and killing it like a sack of cat in the river!
