Thread: Sat., Sept 22 was spectacular in Vermont at the NSRA show

Tweet

Mike - it was a great day. Let's not wait so long for the next 'episode'!! And that drive home - wasn't too bad until I hit I-97 at Schroon Lake when the sky opened and the rains REALLY came down - 75 more miles worth. And the Sally Fainthearts that slow from 60 or so to 40 or less without visible cause.

The saved photos in My Pictures mostly don't need Photoshopping, but the Photobucket darkened some pretty badly - something I knew but forgot. I'll 'fix' them and redo the on line versions in the morning

And finally for tonite, a beautiful woody! Maybe do some more tomorrow.. Later!

I thought they were Eelco heads, but are ELCO and at about $2K/set plus the cost of a converted Nash dual plug distributor is WAY beyond my thin wallet ( https://oroscogroup.infusionsoft.com...l?productId=30 )

Yeah, those heads are the cheap part. The only Frenzel I've seen for sale in the past year or so is over in Europe...................asking price...................$20k (not a misprint....20 large). Of course it hasn't sold yet at that price, but you also don't see the setup very often.

I agree Dave, it was a blast! And it was nice that we made the full round in the sunshine..

Sally Fainthearts... hadn't heard that one before. I made it to my sisters and was inside when the skies really opened up. Next show you want a sidekick to hang out and "critique" with, don't hesitate to ask.

A Kodak digital... I think Dave was laughin' at my technique as I had to shield the screen to see what I was "shooting"....

Right........

Oh well... back to the grind tomorrow... time for sleep, see ya later.

Nice stuff Mike, you and Dave go above and beyond to get us "feriners" as close to the action as possible without being there. Hanging with Car Buds is about as good as it gets. Oh, that Woody is almost TOO gorgeous for words.

thanks to both of Y'all for posting these,

Hey Mike, were those the gals you liked from the Helen Keller School?

Great pictures of the '40 Woody, by the way! Those re-kindle my fires for maybe trying to tackle one to give my woodworking tools a workout!!

OK - photos fixed as best possible. It's Photobucket(mostly) and me having my camera on the wrong setting for snap shots
