And what airline is that you fly on Chief?
Regards, Roy
I got 6 - 8 of them each time we met and I don't even know what a ProMariner is. All I know is the Chief was hanging around in the aisles of a big sporting goods store. Always thought that was a little strange but once he gave me all those little flashlights I didn't care what he was doing there.
rtraincollector Buckeye Riveter ChiefEaglesPro Mariner has/had LED little flashlights. Always carried a Ziploc with 6 to 8 of them for each flight. Gave then to the flight attendants when we got ready to take off. I assume everyone got a Pro Mariner LED flashlight except me, the one person that actually purchased a Pro Mariner On-board Battery Charger. Of coarse we all did hmmm wonder why he didn't give you one

........Mayor's job takes up too much time.
Chief......I think the real reason you have no time is that you are running a secret underground prison facility out on the Eagles' nest property for captured Yankee infiltrators and are conducting secret and inhumane grits experiments on them. FIN has been added as another gaurd dog.

IF IT WON'T COME LOOSE BY TAPPING ON IT, DON'T TRY TO FORCE IT. USE A BIGGER HAMMER.
Mayor's job takes up too much time. Pro Mariner has cut way back since the economy thingy. Only about three of us working for them. Restricted to the spring shows only. Sales Manager is doing a few training trips to new stores. BPS and Cabela's have really cut back on their new store openings. I would work a few Grand Openings if they needed me [they now that]. Actually have worked for expenses only and no fee. Why I can get free chargers. Another thing, tired of FLYING. Even though I get first class free as have so many miles built up, still a pain. Was fun for a while and enjoyed meeting and visiting with CTT folks. Too many hours sittting in airports and on planes while waiting to take off, delayed flights and etc. Will say, checked my main roller bag all the time. Luggage was only late three times in all the years of flying. One arrived two hours later at hotel. The other two arrived at my house the next morning [missed my flight out of Charlotte to RDU]. Now I have had three new roller bags from US Airways as they destroyed three. That was not problem. The one I have now had the plastic parts on the bottom that hold it sitting up torn off. I made one from wood painted black and bolted it to the inside with an aluminum plate inside for enforcement. That one has lasted.
PS: learned a trick. Pro Mariner has/had LED little flashlights. Always carried a Ziploc with 6 to 8 of them for each flight. Gave then to the flight attendants when we got ready to take off. They went crazy over those. They could use them when flying at night and cabin dark. Wife flew with me one time. We were not in first class. Gave the flashlights out. She was amazed at how I got treated [free drinks and all]. "Be nice to the crew and they will be nice to you."
Yea BUCKEYE,
Da CHIEF is getting older and slower!!!!

laz 57 Buckeye Riveter Chief...Glad you like it!!!! There were some other ideas floated around, but this was the hands down winner. It has been 6 years since you started the pot and I remember some days that there were maybe 3 or 4 postings until you did the CTT tour of the nation to meet and greet. I assume that many of the participents have not met you, so I would suggest signing up with Pro Mariner for another tour of the nation. Oh NO NOT THAT! That will lead to another GREAT GRIT CAPER!!!! I can't go through another one of those. laz57

Well, Miss Edna and the gang thought it was great. Thanks all. Only thing better would have been Buckeye in a Yankee uniform crawling out of the hole and me shooting. Not really but that should get some conversation going. Hey, gives me an idea. Miss Edna has a fox and the hunter. HUMMM.

Roy, great job, but you forgot this:
WARNING****This video depicts scenes of a violent nature. Viewer discretion is advised****
BTW - I just want to thank the gang for all the support during this caper. We had a lot of fun exchanging e-mails on the progress.
A special shout-out to DougDaG and dbaker48 for organizing the project.
Chief,
It was all good fun. I will let some of the other guys fill you in on the stats, but this started months ago and involved hundreds of e-mails. Even better is with the big e-mail distribution list we had running, no one accidentally used one with your address and spilled the beans on this little caper!
So here is some video for those wanting to see more:

The final modified accessory - Chief vs the beavers

A close up of the sneaky beaver and dynamite - note the fuse which is made of fiber optics appears to be sparking. This element was the Pièce de résistance !

Enjoy!
Chief, thanks for the photos. Roy deserves all the credit for building this thing. I'm glad that you liked it. I love your new screened porch. Great for keeping the skeeters at bay. All you need now is a swing. Happy days!

You're a good man, Chef.
Chief, it came out great and you deserve it for keeping this bunch both entertained and under control. It really was a team effort brought together with Doug's resourcefulness and Roy's skills.
