Thanks for your always thoughtful comments Jay!  We are progressing, slowly....sometimes in a less than direct manner, but progressing nonetheless! 

....now on tool destruction.....😂😱

Best, PBT

Ha!  How can you claim to be from Texas and not like the Cowpokes?  You been hanging out in Oak Lawn lately😂? 

Denny thanks you Scott!😂

Seems to be the consensus....😜

LOL....Game on!  I probably have become a useless layer of "management"!😂

Thanks John!  Looking forward to see you there.

You and Pat the Picker are correct. I know I am being lazy here, but I don't think I am going to harm the engine....  Once the nationals are over, I may go ahead and pull the tank and get it all cleaned properly.....definitely needs to be done.

Appreciate it Rob - those Champion 6's are sweet running little engines!  Very happy to discover that the engine is in good shape etc....fun history!

I am with ya!  Mat?

Thanks Nick - the people have spoken!
