I hate it when it is time to go to work for the Gram boys. I know their work is seasonal, but we have a lot more forum activity when they are off work. And usually some interesting projects. Also lately you can tell that Fred Lucabaugh is pretty busy in the shop. I can't get enough stuff going on to compete with what they have going on. Dave.

Yeah, but when yer' rollin' in dough like Fred is, you can do things like open up a machine shop, or putting up a new showroom, or buying a numbers matching 66' Chevelle and a new house, and so on. I heard all he has to do is go out in the yard and dig up one of the many pickle jars full of money he's got buried out there for some "petty cash"...... ROTFLMAO!!!!!! I gotta' git' ma' licks in now, cause' when I get out to see Fred and the boys from England shortly, I'll be "target practice" fir' sur' ! I'll be needing "the force" to protect me. I can hear Dave Richard's now "use the force Obiwan".....

Hey.... does anyone know where I can purchase a WF? I used to have one, but I think it went "across the pond". Not only does the creek smell bad, but now the Pond to!!
Dave Richards... you have me rollin' on the floor again!

Dave there is a watch dog group here in MN known as the Minnesota Mofia, I suspect if your not familiar with this group you might ask around what happens when you tangle with this group. I know one individual in Chelsea OK won't want a repeat visit. But if you are so inclined, bring you equipment and wrench's and lets see what happens, now that is truly an offer that's hard to turn down

hey Darrell, maybe we could do a trade with Howard parts?? So long as we do another one of those steak and family meals one more time.....Do you think Steve could sneak under the wire??

I think we could get Steve under the wire and that nice place we had Steaks at has very comfortable booster chairs. Dave M you were quite successful in stiring the pot, Now I don't know if Steve would agree with that. I have also noticed that the Fredster has been noticable quite in this post?????????

Big G & Dave E.! No problem getting me under the wire. Matter of fact, I fit quite well under anything! I can change he oil under a snake. I don't need a booster chair tho, I bring a NYC Nynex wit' me to sit on. Gets me up higher. As for the MN. Mofia, they take care of the West Coast for us where the Italian Mofia, we take care of the East coast to NYC. You don't want to mess wit' dem' Gram boys! And you definietly don't want to mess wit' the Italian Mafia from New Joisey either. If I was Fred, I'd be stringin' bobbed wire around the showroom next week and installing land mines!!
