Just checking in

Well looks like its time to start working on the wood burner {old smokey}. Just watched some videos from our argos 2016 trip and Caught the wood gas bug, by the way there is no real cure…just put in remission for a while…lol. I will post some videos along the way of the resurection process. Hope all is well and Mr. Keith you are still kind of a mentor to me and I would believe a lot of others. Gary

Hey Gary ,

We had just driven about 1600 miles with seat belt on tight when wife unbuckled to reach in the back seat to fetch a peace of peanut brittle Danny Moore had given her at Argos. While approaching a 4 way stop where a Alabama state trooper was watching She Just Had To Wave At Him . That wave cost me about 50 bucks !

Did you offer him some peanut brittle for doing his job as a tip? Up here that would be a big fine for trying to bribe a police officer.

Hey Mr. Bob ,

The peanut brittle cost me much less than the trooper that claimed I was driving 75 in a 55 mph zone!!

Maybe I could have used as defense that I had not a drop of gasoline in the truck !!

you need to work on your sales skills. He probably pulled you over both because you were speeding and because what was in the back. You might have been able to sell him a book!

Hey Sean,

The trooper never noticed or let on about the apparatus in the back , The only communication we had was me asking permission to take a picture of the above while he was making his pencil smoke !

Oh he definitely noticed it. They notice stuff you miss on your own stuff… well maybe not you, old dairy farmers notice everything. maybe something like ‘OMG! I was going that fast? On wood? Are you sure that is accurate? Holy moses it is a miracle! praise the lord!’

Maybe I should have told him I was just testing a house cat and see how far that conversation went .

That would get you in the clinker around here.

Even the septic tank cleaner guy stopped talking and rushed out after I jokingly mentioned there was a cat in there.
