I wanted to take the time to give a special thanks to Lloyd and Tony for helping me to get all my gaer to the meeting today.

On the drive down my forge blower broke. I got it back in October, use it almost every weekend and haven't had any trouble with it. There was an old stick weld repair, to the mounting plate and the housing, that decided that it wanted to break while enroute.

I wanted to thank Lloyd and Tony again, as well as Cal and Phil for helping out getting the forge up and running through all the troubles that ensued. I apologize if I have left anyone else out, things were kind of crazy and I'm still pretty exhausted. Thank you to all the helped get things going and for saving the demo and making it successful.

Yes, I was thinking I forgot to get a photo of them completed. Perhaps Sean can get me a good photo for the newsletter if no one else has. I suspect Jim must have a good shot though.

Thomas, I thought you did a great job, considering the challenges. Not everyone could have pulled off such a super recovery. I would have cursed enough to embarrass a sailor, then quit. Hats off to you.
