CurlyGeorge Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 James & Mike, you guys really did miss a good time. We got to burn up several things, almost to the point of no return, and then Stan came to the rescue with his gas welding skills, to save the day. Tom was right, though. Friends were made and a lot of fun was shared by all. James, you aren't too awfully far away. You should try to plan a trip for next year. Just don't let Stan talk you into going to the flea market with him. He'll snatch up the good deals and have ya wondering what just happened!! Just had to give Stan a hard time, there. Quote
Kendrick Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) It was a good time. Thanks for having us Stan. Now I'm in the planning stages to build a coal forge! Kendrick P.S.
