Anyone thinking there is not enough room - well AHHHH - anyone that has been here can let you know there is a place to hideout. Couple more things to get ready off the honey do list.

Just got off the phone with Neil and tried my best to intice him to come. Said he had a busy weekend coming up with his boys and I told him to bring them as well. Said he had some stuff to sell - so I hit him up to get it posted on the vendor thread just to see if anyone were looking for it...
All the fish fry Friday night is - can be compared to hunting camp the day before opening season. Sit around - lie - tell stories - compare notes. Comradre and just socializing - all in preperation for Saturday -cookout day.

Ok EMD - whatever you do - do not think about my neighbor volunteering to make a low country boil as well for FRIDAY NIGHT - mmmmm
Might be some tid bits leftover for Sat but with John and Adam around they'll be munching all night long.
Thanks Adam - but disaster avoided - I pulled the plug and pulled the ripcord and wa la - tons of gasoline come spewing out - worked on the carb for a while - blew out the cyl and jambed that plug back in and fired that baby up - good to go and thanks for the offer. Here are the results for the...
Spent a little time checking out the local Northern Tool catalog and looking at the Hobart 140 - that will get me up to 1/4 inch like I get into sometimes. But I'm going to head down first and pull the plugs and see if I can get that engine rolled over with the rope start first. If that is a no...

Cannot tell you how PO's I am that Miller welder took a dump - fresh oil change - tuned it up in Jan - running and flowing welds like butter and went to re-start it up to weld that Driver side threshold plate and it was seized - no noise not nothing - about broke my arm yanking on the cord pull...
Just gotta say this Tiger.
I am sure if you asked Grandma if you should come down to the cookout or sit around there annoying here and hovering over her - we both know the answer to that one. Besides there is nothing you can do that is not already there for help if she needs it - and I bet...
Lets see how this new camera thingy works out.
really miserable drizzle rain up here today - got all the upper window channel cut and holes drilled for rivets (low profile ones).
Got onto the passenger door frame as this baby was held shut with the grip of god when PB and I looked at it - ahh...
