TREITS STREAMLINER

[Freud]

There will be a new post on target550.com on Thursday.

The fotos will be by Ray the Rat.

Now I am as curious as is everyone else regarding his post.  I'll meet you at the site.

I'm as curious as Freud is.  I have no idea what I'm gonna post...well, photos, maybe, but that's about as far as I've gotten.  I'll just make something up. 

[RayTheRat]

Well, the "Rat's eye view" photos are on the server.  http://www.target550.com/index.html  It's the bottom link and it leads to a group of shots I got as I wandered around Hume's shop while he and Freud chatted. 

There were some things that jumped out at the camera and my eye, so it's a little different from the single topic updates that Freud's been doing.  I hope it provides some insight into what it looks like when seen from the eye (and camera lens) of a rat, and maybe showing some stuff that might not have been pointed out previously.

Hope ya like 'em,

Ray,

Thanks for your perspective of the shop. I love that Logan Lathe.

I know I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but did I overlook something that's painfully obvious to others?

[Freud]

Looks OK to me. I just learned that I have a week to do my part.

THANKS and to you nonbelievers and trouble makers, I intend to do my next post in the Sioux native tongue.

Ray,

I think what Sparky is talking about is what I highlighted in red, down the page at the bottom.

Thanks, Tom.  You and Sparky are absolutely right.  I had the wrong date there.  Duh. 

That's what I meant by overlooking something that was painfully obvious to others.  Maybe it had something to do with finishing that part up at 2 am or so.

Thanks again to both for the catch.

[Freud]

Ray..take a pill and relax.

I've done a Google Earth and I have a Predator on it's way to silence the source.

Get your ear plugs ready.

Sparky will be an apt description of the event.

[SPARKY]

LOL   

[RayTheRat]

What?  I can't hear you.  Must be these damned ear plugs. 

Ohhh...Rufus sez "hi." 

[desotoman]

I heard a rumor that "Rufus" will be the official Push Truck for Project 550.
