Happiness is --- A NOS Poly flat lap arbor. Arrived today, frozen solid. I'm letting it thaw out before taking the final layer of wrapping off to prevent condensation & rust.
Love getting NOS equipment. Thanks for listing these Larry.

Man, y'all have a fabulous box going around! I agree. Looks like the box is being used like it was intended to be used this time. Last couple of times I was in on it we had some greedy folks who hogged the good stuff & used the box as a dumping ground for their junk slabs & scraps. I'm watching & may get back in on the next round, but have to cut some slabs first.

Two things I noticed right away. First was the color of the grip. Genuine Eastwing grips are a darker blue.
Second thing I noticed was further down the page. The country of origin.
In addition to slamming them, you might want to notify Eastwing of patent & name infringements. They are using the Eastwing name in their add.

And a pretty damned good cowboy at that.
If we ever thaw out up here, I'll get to cutting the last box I got from Mel & the kids. Damn that's some purdy lookin material. Chompin at the bit to see what's inside.

Hey! Keel hauling would pretty much suck if the barnacles have not been recently been scraped off. Ain't that what keel hauling is all about ? It's supposed to suck.

Do Jehovah's Witnesses count? Worse than the fruit rats they are! Hey Bob, Get you a big old python to drape over your shoulders, & wall sconces with black candles in them. When you see them coming to the door light the candles & grab the python before answering the door. Worked for me. Was never bothered by the Jehovah's Witnesses again.

Aside from stray cattle & an occasional horse, there have been white tail & mule deer, skunks, raccoons, mink, muskrats, 13 stripe gophers, field mice, coyotes, fox, cotton tail & jack rabbits, feral cats (Damn city folks keep dumping their pregnant cats out here) & an occasional stray dog. Oh,& a few years ago a young love sick moose wandered thru looking for new territory & a girlfriend. There have been reports of mountain lions wandering thru the area, but haven't seen any myself. & I keep watching, hoping to see bigfoot.

PM sent about the 4" shields. I bought those a few hours ago! So you're the culprit that beat me to them.
