Well, it ain't very nice so I shouldn't tell it here! Has to do with a part of a sailors dress blue uniform.

Boy OS, I'd sure love to relieve you of that old lumber that's in your way. I'd near about drive to Missouri to do it, too.
It is just crazy that I live in a town that used to be one of the furniture-making capitals of the world and I cannot buy one stick of hardwood lumber anywhere nearby. Except for Lowe's of course, but only if I want oak or poplar and want to pay top dollar x 4 for it. |

Steve,you are right the price of lumber,even pine 2bys has gone crazy-like everything else. If you do a lot of wood working you might do what my cousin used to do and buy it from the sawmill. He would drive from No. Indiana to NE arkansas . It was rough sawed and semi dried.

I am partial to the 36-pipe Decatur racks because that is what I started with and I wanted some continuity to what I was doing. They are readily available, if not cheap. Out of the ten I have, I think I only truly got a bargain on two of them. Most were priced fair and a couple I got robbed on, but no gun was used.
8' long! Now your talking, OS! --RJ--

Actually, right now with just my Dr. Grabows displayed (and rotated and smoked), I have a few places left. However, as my PAD is always flaring up, I do anticipate a future need. Now I'm running out of wall space!
Which reminds me of several things I didn't get done today and one was getting an up-to-date photo of my Grabows in the racks that I promised for TED after I moved to my "new" study. Maybe tomorrow I can do that and take a photo of my new arrivals from Sparta for the group. --RJ-- |

| When the dictionaries include a definition for PAD, they will illustrate it with a portrait of Mac. |

Well, that would be only fitting. As it is, when you Google "Dr.Grabow" on Google Images, the 2nd image to come up is his!
