Couple memebers dropping by

[Coadster32 793]

Had Bill and WHC-125 drop by the shop today. I gave them a hand in finishing a couple of deck spindles WHC-125 started at his tech high school. Maybe next time, you could turn them on a wendsday for better sizing. Anyway, job well done. Sorry guys, as you caught me on a busy day, but glad to squeek the job in for you. I was trying to turn a 20inch boat porthole window in the lathe, and spray bomb my 551 tranny. Afterward, my buddy came by that I haven't seen in two years. I was the best man at his wedding. Sorry to cut you guys short at the end.

Bill- I still think the sulkie-bride would look pretty cool.

BTW-Chris---sorry about that charger hood. The guy bought it up within 20 minutes. I read one e-mail at a time. When you get a chance, could you cancel that transaction??

I'm off tomorrow to another members house, Wallfish. I'll be getting a motor so my restore job can live through the summer on the road. Can't wait to get it done. I made a pretty cool hood ornament for it.

Speaking for the members in and around Ct..some really nice folk to deal with.

Thanx Chris and Chris for your time and effort in Helping me with the deck spindles.. is was a group effort on both parts to get the job done..

Just to let ya know I had to Feed WH-125 on the way home, and let me tell tell ya I could have bought the parts NEW from toro for what it cost me to feed him.. < Jking>

Ohh to be young again..

And to watch Coadster32 operate this Machine in his shop was amazing.. I don't even know what this Machine was called but it did everything with a few push's of some buttons the spindles had keyways cut and Double D's cut in Mins. Coadster32 and WH-125 where talking numbers and stuff about this Mach and I had NO clue what in the world they where talking about I'll just stay with sititng on my Bulldozer and do my thing, and let the Machinist guys do there thing..

And Coadster32 I also think the sukly thing would look cool, But you where there.. I was vetoed by a higher power.. ... and being married the first time for 26 yrs I have learned I wasn't going to WIN!! so don't even bother trying to :drool:

Yesterday was a great day. Chris it was great seeing you again, and Bill I see you all the time so I always get a laugh when I see you. And on our way home we seen two car crashes, one with a Advance Auto tractor trailer that went up in flames and a 3 car pile up that made 6 miles of traffic thank god we werent on that side of the highway. :omg:

Picked up a motor for my 551 from Wallfish's today. Had a pretty cool visit. Kids were playing together, and we got his brother-in-law's beast running.18hp briggs. Runs really nice. (Quite the crud in the carb.)

Picture of my daughter on John's backhoe/front loader. BTW--really cool. I know where I'd tell my wife to stand. (she's not reading this is she?)

We even got to picnic in front of city hall. That wasn't a park across rt.9, but some sort of a firemans drill/practice place.

Great visit. He made me a deal I couldn't refuse on the motor.

If anyone ever visits him, just remember... Don't schwing him!

Chris-and Bill-- Thanks for the kind words. Always happy to help others with the sickness. With labor being pretty cheap, you'll never know when I might need a hand myself. :omg:

Chris, it was a pleasure to meet your wife and kids!

Just so happened that my brother-in-law stopped by with a tractor and we had to put Chris to work on carb detail.

I can
