First In Person Member Meet Today
Since Boog and I are only about 20 minutes apart it wasn’t a real stretch but it sure was my pleasure to meet him.
Met at my place and he got to look over ol rusty in her current condition. Hope to get to his place maybe and see his project since he’s way ahead of me. Great to meet you Jim.

Yes. Same here Bill. It's nice to put a face to a name. Two like minded gear heads I tell ya. Lots in common.
Ol rusty my foot. That's a slick 67. When I got home I went straight to the shop and rubbed on mine some.

Re: First In Person Member Meet Today
Well, while you guys were socializing I was hauling a tailgate to Mt. Home to the hydroblaster. We need to have a get together. Are any events coming up between here and there.

Re: First In Person Member Meet Today
I think I speak for the other Arky's when I say everyone is invited.
Now we just need to figure out what it is you are invited to.

A fellow Kansan put on a fix a dent in a fender clinic. I think his name was Svelte Chevelle or something like that. I was impressed with his skills for sure. Teeitup/Randy was super organized when he sold something on here. I remember reading his for sale ads and being amazed by how he would respond with so many folks in one thread and keep it all straight. I’m looking forward to meeting you, it could happen. I’d really like to do one of those river rafting trips with you up in your neck of the woods. It appears from the photos I’ve seen you post that you have some incredibly beautiful scenic rivers.

Re: First In Person Member Meet Today
We do have the great 'wild & scenic rivers'. It's going on 50 years since many rivers were designated, which means no signs of human development within sight of river. A good thing here in the populated old East. Of course, Garrett County is the largest yet least populated in MD... and even topographically divided from the east Coast, being situated west of the Eastern Continental Divide. That water meets with the waters of the Arkansas River which flows from the Eastern Slope of The Rockies, in the Mississippi. Little old Maryland sends water down to the gulf Of Mexico!
If you came, I could get us on a trip with my friend Roger's outfit. We could get a whole bunch of members on. it's great being dam release, guaranteed water volume all summer long

Re: First In Person Member Meet Today
You realize that now we got to do two float trips... one in Maryland and one in Arkansas. We just need to work on a plan.

Doing the Buffalo with a bunch of truck dudes has crossed my mind

Remember, I'm retired. I don't need a plan, just directions.

Re: First In Person Member Meet Today
Ummm. OK.
The 1st pic is an ink blot test. I see a woman with big breasts. Right? 2nd pic. I haven't a clue. 3rd pic. That looks like my B&D saw that someone stored in a box with acid in it.

Re: First In Person Member Meet Today
That's an "R". And that is my Sawcat I bought in 1982. That saw has laid in about every one of Reading's line of contractor tool storage offerings... bedside high side & low flip top side boxes, 8' enclosed utility body, 8' open utility body, 11' low-profile utility body, and roof height utility cap on pickup bed. I use the flip-tops at the house for tool storage and that's where it is stored. I had to replace the cord because the original one literally rotted off. It still worked, though. I guess I retired it, but only because I bought a new saw before I replaced the cord. Haven't used it since. A better saw has never been made. The Dewalt I replaced it with is basically the same saw, only it's yeller

Re: First In Person Member Meet Today
Well, I realized I titled this thread incorrectly. Should have read "Second Member I met in Person." I met Palallin up in Missouri about a year ago but it slipped my mind. However, that just means I am 2 for 2 on meeting great guys on this board.
I'm up for an Arkansas meet, even thought about it myself. I'm a bit far from everyone but Boog but I do have a shop (although getting crowded), pool, 2.5 acres to park on and the best part - good, tolerant neighbors. Canoeing is never a bad plan and the Buffalo is probably the right speed if you are going to drink much beer and not hurt yourself. In short, I am up for it.

Re: First In Person Member Meet Today
I'm used to a tiny state. I look at real estate on Willow.com, usually starting in Eureka Springs. When I scroll to find Harrison or other towns I want to find, like your area, I'm scrolling and scrolling some more. My daughter and her family now live in Little Rock and I see she is purdy far from any one of you guys involved in this thread. Still, a visit to her would make catching up with you guys a far easier thing than all the way from here

Re: First In Person Member Meet Today
Tim,
Depending upon where your daughter lives in Little Rock my little burb is not much more than 30-60 minutes from there. Boog is another 20 up the road to the northeast. The other Larry, however, he's a couple hours north of us. BUT, his part of the state is my favorite. Hills, trees, and creeks. It's where I grew up and I sill love it. Arkansas is really two states. If you picture it as a square (it is almost) and cut it from the southwest to the northeast everything south and east is pretty much flat, Mississippi delta and the north and west is mountains and hills. The delta area is pretty depressed and declining while the northwest and extreme northeast are flourishing.

Re: First In Person Member Meet Today
I've talked with Larry about my fondness of the state. I hopped off the interstate and took back roads, even a good bit of dirt road, through some great country that reminded me of home on my way to Flagstaff one trip. I thought, "I'd like to retire here". It was into the Ozarks and the town of Ozone stands out in my memory.

I think I told you, but we started just north of Ozone at Fallsville and ran over 60 miles of community water down to Oark, just west of Ozone. Oark is on the Mulberry river. There is another float trip.
