Something to keep in mind. Too early to tell for me, but sounds good.

No problem if you are working Mike; figure out when you need help with your new shop and I'll load my truck up and we can come by you to help out if you like.

Thanks for the offer. Should be done by then. The Sunday thing would work better. Keep us posted as the time gets closer.

'' Should be done by then '' WHAT ??? You'll never be done. Maybe reword to say '' USABLE '' :laugh::laugh:

There will ALWAYS be more stuff to do.

Hey, if you would like a hand let me know. I'll toss '' MY ASSISTANT '' in the back of the truck and will come up . :drinkup: Ok, I guess upfront would be safer.

 

[BD1]

'' Don't you be talking about me behind my back!!! ''

I would never say anything behind your back that I wouldn't say face to face..................... as long as there was a brick wall between us.

Oh, and yes you can even sit in the front seat !!!!!

Why do you people live in THE WRONG COUNTRY... ..... :laugh: :laugh:

Sorry Mick.

WRONG COUNTRY ??? Well buddy , if you think this is the wrong country now, JUST WAIT until that PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION .

Maybe coming by you could be better. I don't know, yours might even be worse !!!

SUCCESS ! Everything went well I say . Thanks to DAND78 for bringing his trailer load of goodies :blob3:and his wife Joann for allowing him to come and play. They even took a break from welding to do the cooking ! I'm not sure if he's a better cook or welder. Thanks to for Gamble for bringing his goodies , those funny color machines are cute. VWGUY 3 and wife Linda for their free goodies and salad . MJD took time out from his shop to join us and brought goodies too. EQ brought the chicken , I hate pulling feathers off before eating. :laugh:
It was enjoyable to have a variety of machines to use. Dan allowed all of us to test drive his SA200 for FREE too. Great running machine . Gambles rainbow colored ones were cute and we did test them. We used a variety of 6010 rods from different manufactures . It was interesting to find out the little inverted preferred the RED Lincoln rod over the Hobart and 5P plus.
Ok , now some pictures.

 

[BD1]

Internet problems with pictures. Dan at his best our chef. Only real way to light up charcoal , " B " tank !

 

[BD1]

Made it home despite a half hour torrential downpour. Thanks for everything.

Well buddy, I was home and yes what a down pour !!! Got the important stuff inside almost, but finished getting a wet a$$. Thanks again MIKE !!!

 

[BD1]

We made it home by 7:30. We went west then south. Drove through rain but not bad.
Thanks for inviting us up. It was good to meet everyone.

I need more hood time on the SA200 so I can learn the settings. It was my first time using it as well. I'm glad it worked.

DanD.

Glad you made it home ok. You guys left and 15 minutes later it stormed . Did get a rain break and now raining again.
Thanks again for coming, cooking, and SHARING that BEAUTY , the SA 200 ! :cool2::cool2:

 

[BD1]

Sounds like a real nice get together, wish I could have been there.......if only to heap shlt on Bob.......:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

No problem, I know you would have done a great job too. :laugh:
You didn't miss much, whole bunch of machines to play with, all kinds of tools , various stick rods , filler rods, trucks, trailers, women , good brats from my home raised piggies , chicken without feathers , and most important cooking by DAND78 and his wife Joann !
Rain held out to the end , just got a wet a$$ putting stuff away. The weather was just great. Even gave the ladies FREE rides in my Polaris and showed off my Big boar named " Mick " . He's a handsome pig ! You would be proud !!! :drinkup::drinkup:

 

[BD1]

vwguy3 , THANKS again Mike and Linda. Good job on the pics and again thanks for coming and you and your wife's generosity. I think we all had fun and the weather did hold out long enough for all to hit the road. :drinkup::drinkup:

Each to their own but, I've seen up close what melanoma does.
It's a real mongrel when it gets in the blood system.....end of game.

Just saying.

I agree Mick. Wearing a long sleeve shirt is my normal attire when welding and cutting . A tack here and there isn't bad but after that sleeves are my friend.
