Jeff,

Nice work and photos of the gib key removal!  Some I believe have used a 
piece of pipe as the guide clamping it to the keyway which makes it sort of self 
centering.  Of course, your method is more accurate.

Great day at Ferrum College Blue Ridge Folklife Festival yesterday with the 
old engines and junk despite cloudy, damp, cool weather.  Ken and Connie 
Christison showed up shortly after lunch and had a nice visit.  Ken of course was 
very busy with the camera taking pictures of every mill and grinder he could 
locate.  Last show of the season and time to put all the toys away and let the 
beagles out to run for the next few months.  Speaking of which is a reminder to 
all to check for water removal from the engines before freezing weather.
