[SEL] Ultimate sinkin' feeling and first showing yesterday

[Richard Strobel]

  Well thank you ALL for your responses and offers to help!!

  George, I appreciate your offer!  I got three pieces that fit well 
together so Rick should be able to get a good pattern.  Again thanks!

  Curt, I'll heed your advise on straightening the rod..tanks!..also on 
preparing the patter.

  Well gang, yesterday was Cork and I's first showing.  We loaded the two 
Gals and Eco and 10 a.m., we headed for town and showed for around 6 hours 
at the U of M Vo-Tech.  I didn't know that kids from all over Montana were 
being bused in to show them what they had to offer.  It was great and the 
two engines performed wonderful.  Even started in front of a crowd:-)) 
Passed out a few cards and got a few leads.  Lunch time came so we drove up 
to the Pattern Shop Coffee house and I got a bazillion pix's of the various 
patterns on the wall...sorry it took so long, Curt...and will post soon.  We 
then drove around and showed the engines to some elderly we know that can't 
get around anymore.  Had a few brewskies and showed at the local VFW and 
headed home.

  All in all, a great day!!

later gang
