You're all in our thoughts and prayers Steve!

Always even dollars here and I take care of the tax, unless it's one of the stores I sell in and then they take care of the tax. So basically if they buy direct from me they save about 5% and I save 12.5% commission to store.

Knee mail on the way Stan. Our hopes for a speedy recovery as well!!!

Same here Finnr--- works just as good on threads as a stuck motor!!!

Bib style from Blacksmith's Depot here, plenty heavy duty, fairly inexpensive---$24 before shipping.

Nice work!

Congrats to everyone, it's trying at times. Janet and I will be married 20 years New Years Eve (She says she married me for tax purposes!!!). I guess it took.

Glad to have you here Smith 93.Welcome to the addiction!!!!!!!!

Very nice Bob!!!

PM on the way Tom.

Very nice Matt! I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Good luck on getting a responce---I've been waiting over a year on a login problem.

Sweet blade Steve!!!

You're all in our hearts and prayers Finnr.

Get well soon Jerry, you're all on the list.

You're on the list here, God Bless!

Steve--- all I can say is WOW!!! Keep sending pics!!!

Looks good Mike!!

Well I'm back now. Praise to God for that!!! We got much done but ended up in the middle of a tribal war. We had to hunker down one day trying to avoid a stray bullet from the fighting less than 1/4 mile away!!!!!!!!! There's no place like home Toto.

Great job!!!

Congrats, you're gonna love it!!! I've had mine for almost 2 years with no problems at all. I also just added the idler valve a couple of months ago, very easy to set up and adjust. It has already payed for itself in gas savings. ENJOY!!!!!!

Gerald the well was done sometime last year I believe. It was part of the ZAO Water Organization, a completely non-profit organization. to quote them "We SELL water to GIVE water". They are doing a great service for providing healthy, clean, SAFE water in Kenya and Tanzania. Matt Peterson is the director. To date they have provided 19 wells,33 springs,a catchment tank that provides for 900 school children, hygiene training for thousands and sanitary latrines in most places that they have provided a watersource. Here's a link to their site: ::: ZAO WATER ::: Water for the Thirsty In todays "modern" world water related diseases take the lives of over 5 MILLION people each year, most are children under the age of 5!!! According to UNICEF/WHO(World Health Organization) in 2004 unsafe water killed about 4500 children a day.

Thanks bigjohn, your work sounds like a great cause also. Makes me wish I could go with you as well, maybe next year!

We are having the same problems here in southwest VA, plants closing left and right, people losing their homes. Not many good paying jobs here to start with and now just snowballing downhill looks like. We try to help the local food pantry as much as we can. If you check what we're getting for our cattle now and what's projected for prices this year as far as our costs go either my wife or myself will have to get a public job if one can be found. My 'smithing item sales went way down the last 3 months, no one has any money to spend on "extra's". Things are tough all over right now and if you get a chance to help somehow you need to because it may be you needing help next week or month or year. I feel I have really been blessed by getting this opportunity to go (even though I was warned we had to work our tails off while we're there). lol I'm sure it will be a great time had by all!
