Shartly after i got home, the old 'puter died. Took me a couple months to get eveything running. I spent the day making yokes to hold electric fence insulators. Came up with a neat way to make deep "U" bends on the finger brake. Had the fingers hold a plate, machined a pocket in the plate to hold the metal trip, then bent into an area between fingers. The holes even lined up when done! Got six made today. will do a run of 30 tommorrow |

We noticed. How was the fishing? Got out about 40 times. Like always, good days and bad ones. All in all the year was a bit slower than most. Milady most deffinitely kicked my butt for largest fish. Think she had #1, #2, #3, then I got the 4rth, and she had all the rest in the top ten. Not many men are blessed to have such a great fisherlady. Put on some of your Lasso yesterday. the strawberries, and I, thank you. Karl |

I may think of you while I'm monitoring the health of #2 son's science experiment from about four years ago -- two apple trees from Pink Lady seeds we found sprouting inside the apples. We have done our best to have Low Expectations ("if they live, if they grow, if they bear -- then we'll see what we have"). We also managed to kill one of the three seedlings from neglect, and almost kill another. And I really, really need to get some real trees planted out back. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com |
