They closed a year after I bought my machine shop out here. The right move at the right time, I must say. That big crank out front was a tugboat crank. A bit larger than the biggest of tractor cranks I do out here!

Yes, yes it does. My daughter just informed me my grandaughter starts kindergarden this fall. And I'm going tomorrow to see Alice Cooper, who I haven't seen since 1974 as a wee lad of 14. Crap, I'm old. Now,back to where's everyone from?

 

[BreadmanMike]
