Frosty Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 That looked like quite the hammer in Billy! The weather looked perfect I don't see sweat stained shirts and you have plenty of shade, I might could've survived that without having to go for a dip in the tub of ice. How'd you like the sand stand? I see it being used a bit. Have a cool one and take a break now will you? You've earned it. Frosty The Lucky.

LOL I miss the meetings a lot. Your's would have been a hoot! At first it was COVID, then the past year or so, my wife has become disabled/semi-invalid therefore I can't be gone for the long trips to meetings. One of these days.......maybe.

TWISTEDWILLOW Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 That’s a real scary situation arkie! Not bein able to get up move around an go outside under my own power would drive me crazy! I feel bad for her! i hope she gets to feeling better soon where y’all can at least share a cup of coffee on the porch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Arkie, I have a somewhat similar situation with my mother. I wish you the best. It's not easy. I think that's why I horse around on the forum so much, the fun is a release for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Just 30 Min North of I-40, I'm just a bit over an hour south of I-40! If you are coming from the east; remember to take a left turn at Albuquerque! Looks like a great time and you will probably become a regular place for hammer ins in the future. I'm on a septic tank so we had a porta potty when I had the SWABA meetings here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 Thomas, you just turn north at Sallisaw to reach me! well I hope everyone had a good time and I’d be more than happy to host again if they need me too! We’re on septic also and you gotta go through gates an fight your way past dogs to reach the house so I figured the porta potty would be a much better route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Gates and dogs? I'd be going through the gates to play with the dogs! Dogs and I get along really well, better than many people. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkie Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Ain't nothin' like a porta potty on a 100 deg. day!!!!!! Fellas, thanks so much for the kind words re: wife. She can get around the house for the most part, most of the time. When I go out to the shop to work, or mow the field next to the house, I take my walkie-talkie. Works wonders! Just long periods away are problematic. We could get a friend to come sit with her, but we don't like to burden others...just manage around the situation pretty well.

ThomasPowers Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 How about -16 degF with a 40 mph wind? Ahh those sweet memories of my mudlogging days out in the oil patch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 Thomas, did they even have porta potty’s back then? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I've been to parties where the men were asked to "go behind the barn for #1" and the ladies got to use the house facilities; as I recall their septic tank was a handful of steel 55 gallon drums buried out back of the house and their capacity was "limited". My Oilpatch days date till after the start of the oilpatch; shoot my part in them dates till after the Hughs' bit went from bicorn to tricorn!

TWISTEDWILLOW Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 One thing I learned from this meeting was I’ll need to rearrange the forges before a next one, I thought I had it set up well for three stations but one ended up buried behind everyone, so next time I’m gonna pull all the blowers an blacksmith junk outta the smithy that aren’t bein used to make better use of the space for seating an forging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 That's always a problem Billy if it's a good demo people will be standing 3-4 deep to watch. Having 3 stations is at least 9x as crowded. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
