It will be 3 hours before I can leave. I can bring some but we’d need a cutting torch. Mine are out of oxygen. Do I still haul it?

Still trying to get stuff done to leave. I’m not hauling 1000’s of pounds of steel around just for fun. Wish I’d gotten it posted with pricing
earlier.

I am deep in to hay harvest so l dont have much free time, if any, but l was thinking wuld it be possible for me to talk to you all for a few minutes on skype or something, just to say hi to you guys 
perhaps we culd talk @JO_Olsson in to it too, l am sure he wuld like to do the same.

Hey Guys… I’m thinking “Hangouts” might be more inclusive for this situation…
Try this link and click on the “Join Hangout” button.
I will be checking in often… so keep it connected if you can.

I’ll keep a connection all weekend,
If that doesn’t work. We can try Facebook or Skype but they are harder to use with people coming and going.

This was the best meetup yet.
Thanks for all that showed up and to all the ladies that kept food on the tables at all times.
A special thanks to Mike R. for picking up the ball and the Lemlers for being such great hosts and all this possible.

Ron’s wood was Great. !
Every hopper ran over 100 miles with speeds 55-65 and on any down grade as fast as the law allows . This is towing a small trailer also.
With some hybirding over the hills of KY , TN and AL to stay with the flow of traffic I was getting from 110 to 130 miles per hopper . Through the flat country of Indiana using no gasoline at all I got 119 miles from a hopper

We had a great time in the north country. Thanks to everyone. Finally made it home last night about 11:30. Had a slow ride with plenty of stops.
Will try to get up some pics soon. Larry and Jakob are already gone scrounging parts. They are going to try to put together a gasifier while Larry is here for a couple weeks.
Came home to find Luke lonesome and bored, and a bit jealous, but holding his blue ribbons from his public speaking competition.
More later…Got 3 days of trainings to do this week and still have to get ready today…
And I came home to a stack of mechanic work parked in front of the shop waiting for us…
