Re: You never know who you’ll run into out on the road

Jeff, don't apologize about keeping us too long. We could have just gotten back into the car and left you standing. The friendship and connections that CCIGT has brought about is amazing. We share deep roots in a farming background, a love for history, and old machines.

That was a fast 4 hours.

Re: Anybody have experience with old Gensets?

I think they are worth putting a bit of time into. They are not as popular now as they once were for running power tools with the influx of battery operated tools.

Re: I got hurt. (Sorry if this is a little graphic)

While moving a rock pile the 446 was left idling. Much to my chagrin, after several minutes of idling, the mot...
