I only want the one with the RED hat for now.... I will stick to anything
over 2.5 hp per right now... which ain't much of a stretch.... and I am
being Generous in my numbers... ( besides we ALL know how Ole Ed's Back
is... hate to see him duck much )
I did get to work on the Rodeck Last Night... I messed up one of the oil
restrictors when I was thrashing on it... so I did the " Never Easy out "
trick and for once in my life it worked.... ( that or I am getting better
at it )
Dave and I were chatting the other day while his Machine was Pumping out
Ferrari 12 cylinder Main caps.... ( I decided that he was giving them
away... ) only made what Dave Two Sets?
Okay now was it just me or did anyone else detect a little bit of
difference in the technology available to us?
Keith ( by the way did you know a fella that works with a File is called a
White smith? )
