    ...and what you give her. Just like your builds; you are obviously a perfectionist and they tend to get it coming their way. I'm one too (in mathematics) and my students loved it (i'm retired). Keep up the lovely spirit of yours.

    Thanks Bjorn!

    Yes Sir, if you grew up on a farm you know the whole story on farming. It can be good and it can be a living hell.......all depends on what Ma Nature wants to give you or is willing to give you.

    Sincere stuff both the git, the truck and the truth you tell. I grew up on a medium/little farm in Mid-Norway and am coming to grip with the cbgs so I know. (Have no truck).

    Thanks Doc! Get to makin' some sawdust  on those plate builds and then let's see some pics!  :-)

    Thanks AGP # Much appreciated my Friend! 

    Thanks Gary! I was actually tokin' on a seegar when I took these, nice Dominican  :-)

    Excellent 'Dog!  Everything - the photo layout, the story, and the smokin' little gitty!

    Yes!, 'Maddog' as 'Uncle John' states, you are the "Master" LPG builder, I have never seen one of your many builds I haven't admired, ("or copied!), but! I don't think I have a 26-1/2' build (yet!).

    That axe is nothing but fine. I got a hold of a couple of plates I think I'm going to have at it. Truly inspiring dog!
