Evenin' y'all, I'm baaaack!!! No, I didn't go anyhere, I've just been really busy this week. Every day when I get out os school, I go run the tractor until just after dark, then feed cattle, and then come home just in time for dinner, and then bed. Nearly done with this project though, got a half section covered with the gopher -getter, then dragged, and now I'm going back and spotting the new gopher digs with the gopher-getter. Burned off about 30 acres tonight, and actually meant to do it too, last time we had a fire that big we didn't mean to, and no one was at home. Flip: Zippos hugh? My cousin and I both have this fascination with Zippos, we each carry one all the time, although have gotten different styles of lighters form antique shops, some bettter, and some worse. I am looking for another one, but haven't decided what kind of graphic I should get yet. Tim: Here's a shot of our flood in early 2004. The trees in the background are the normal edge of the river, which is usually about 4 feet deep, but it was 17 feet during this flood. Keep in mind that we've been having a major drought for the last 6 years.

JimRCGMO: Antique shops are the best places to get handsaws, but a jigsaw or a circular saw are the best ways to cut plywood, as thy are easier to fllow a line with. If you get a chance to look for an old handsaw, a Disston with at least five bolts holding the blade to the handle is a very desirable saw, for its history as well as its quality. If the bolts are bras, you've got an even beter deal, and if the medallion has a star instead of a keystone you've really got a good deal, probably out of the mid-1800s. I know you've got to be wondering about me after that post, but I'll try to explain. I have an interest in any kind of tools, old or new, ubt only if they're American made, Chinese tools just break if you use them much. I even cut the ends of 3 of my fingers off in a 1952 model Delta-Rockwell jointer once, but I wouldn't strongly recommend that. My most recent obsession is with hatchets, but its hard to find information on old ones. Well, I better go, I'll try to check in more this week so I don't get so far behind, Greg
