  Out here we get most of our power from coal fired generation plants. The enviro-wackos from out of the area would like to shut them down [read clean them up beyond current scientific limits]. They need to leave it alone until there are plants in place to provide consistant power day and nite that meet their idea of "clean" or we'll all be in the cold and dark.

Doug, we just need the Center of the country to secede and let the loonies fend for themselves! :-D :evil:

  Agreed! We tried to give Western Montana to Idaho or Washington and they refused. Why would you unplug your old inefficient beer cooler before your new and improved model had been built, delivered, and cooled down?

I have good news and bad news. On the job front that is. Good news, I have a new venture lined up that holds a LOT of promise! The bad news? It won't happen until around the first of the year. I can not tell you how excited I am for the future. I think I just used up some stockpiled Kharma points. Oh yeah, the new venture is very conductive to hot rods and LSR :wink:  That said, I am still developing products and the parts business.  That will not change :cheers:

Never mind -- Chris had it covered.

Merle has been to Bonneville almost every time I have.  And goes home with me, too.  That was a nice, early virgin.

Bad news but we saw it coming. My lil brother who is pictured in this thread just landed in Tulsa OK. Huge promotion for him, huge loss for South Dakota. He is 12 years younger than me so it wasn't until the last 8 years here in Rapid City that I got to know him well. (college and moves got in the way for both of us). But, he is so close to the HAMB Drags that I have a new excuse to go back!

Merle is well travelled- he accompanies me to Lake Gairdner.

Well, I am back in the game with a great mindset. Finishing the strawbale house, working on the lakester and even drug my tudor out of storage since I need a hotrod to drive!.

Here is the first run of race pedals. I am so happy my patternmaking turned out ok. I had never done anything like this before. They are bigger and beefier than anything out there. The old originals I have seen from the 50s and 60s feel quite flimsy to me. We may refine the size and heft a bit but for now, enjoy!
