I have one fellow I stop and see from time to time, we've deer hunted together on another mutual friends place. I'll check him out first of the week. Heck for all I know, Doc Blake might have some too. Doc's the darndest fellow you'll meet, 78, maybe 79 now and still putting in 9 or 10 hours a day in the machine shop with his son. I asked him last summer as he was cutting off a piece of steel for me, if he was about ready to retire & he said he wasn't old enough yet. I suspect he will fall over right there in that shop, carving out a 16" diameter wire rope pulley, its bushing and pin for a well servicing rig's boom. He probably made the original well rig he is repairing now too. And if you like Bluegrass music, he has jammed with the likes of Flat & Scruggs & Ricky Scaggs, and can still start a fire on the fretboard of his favorite Mandolin or Banjo. Here about 7 or 8 years ago we cooked up a couple gallons of Swedish meat balls & invited some of the local pickers for dinner & BTW, bring your instrument. So we had, for about 5 hours that evening after the food was gone, some of the same good foot stompin, boot tappin music you can hear on The Mountain Stage program on your local public radio station. Every neighbor for a block or so around had pulled up a lawn chair on the other side of the fence to listen and we went for about an hour past the shutdown time of 10pm without a single complaint. Absolutely great stuff, I wish I'd had brains to toss a mic on the floor and tape it. There were some other pickers and violin players plus a couple of old Martin D50's in the crowd & somebody even brought a squawk-stick (Clarinet), but Doc was the undisputed star of the evening. He was in his element, teaching the wannabees how to do it. >On Jan 25, 2008, at 3:11 PM, Gene Heskett wrote: >> On Friday 25 January 2008, Dave Engvall wrote: >>> Your local Mobil dealer should have Vactra 2 but you may have to >>> purchase 5 gal.
