I could build a trailer like that too, if I had the steel, a welder, a shop to build it in, more time, ... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Great thread, Harv! Like all great stories, half the joy is in the telling...and you told it well!

Well tbn'rs I called James today and prepped him for becoming an internet hero. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I asked him if he knew anyone who had access to the internet. Son of a buck has a dry sense of humor. "Not anyone I know that'd own up to it" was his reply.

I'm going by the steel supply house to get the materials for the loft. On the way to the job I'm dropping by James' and picking up four pallets of file cabinets of sorts. I'll take more pictures and give him a print out of this thread. If he wants to see the pictures he'll have to go to an internet cafe. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I'll have some pictures hopefully tomorrow evening of the place where ninety nine percent of the tbn'rs would die to visit. That other one percent we'll own up to if we must. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

markie61 -- I agree about Harv's writings. I have his Profile marked as a favorite and each time I check the TBN, I check what he has posted first. In addition, Harv gave me the URL for his monthly magazine articles and I read them as soon as the magazine is posted.

I am a Computer Science Professor (mostly retired) and I am constantly quoting Harv's Professionalism and work ethics articles to my students. He does a far better job of putting thing in words than anyone I know.

Leo you're too kind. But I will buy you dinner. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I stopped by James' this morning.

This is the obligatory guard goose. We had us a discussion. I told him the camera was a shotgun. I think he believed me. I'll be I would have gotten mad if I'd been able to understand half the names he called me.

Notice behind the goose at all the parts, truck parts, tractor parts, parts parts.

This is a Ford pickemup.

James made the bed, all aluminum. It started off with a 460 on propane. Then it was powered by a Nissan diesel. He said that was a nightmare to get the gear ratios straight, umpteen rearend--tranny combinations. Then came a Ford six cylinder on gas and now it's got a 460 on gas.

I didn't ask about the mileage, I'm sure there is a ton.

If you look in the background under the trees, there's some of them old Farmalls. That was the first tractor I drove, B model. Instinctively gave it full throttle and dropped the clutch, what a ride, what a butt chewing, and my dad loved me!
