Because G. Sloop was a good boy

Todd O. Cronkhite Maine Native in FL. Exile :~(

>and did me the favor of undorking my computer several months back, and even tho he insisted that there was nothing I could do for him in return, but I insisted, I finally found him a real nice "goodie" today.

Yeas, it's WW tool, yes it's in original box, thi it's a bit ratty, yes it's complete, yes it has 100%! Japaning, yes the nickle plating is all bright and shiny, Yes there is a wee bit of either rust or dried cosmaline on it, yes it's NEVER been sharpened, yes, I got a heck of a gloatable deal on it.

Even if Greg dosen't desire this tool it is in good enought condition to be either excellent trading material, or a good seller to buy something for himself that he does want, which wouldn't hurt my feelings abit.

Wanna know what it is? It's a HO! HO! HO! Santa Todd ain't tellin'!

Greag, send me your snail mail address and do it quick be for I get attached to this HO! HO! HO! NO! NO! NO! ;~)

>Holy Smokes Greg, send me your address PDQ! I've got con-men, slicksters and shysters coming at me from all directions!!

Gads Ernie, that hook is so deep in me I think it would be easier to try to get it out thru my butt than my mouth. Dang you!

>That is funny! Of all people I thought you knew me well enough not to trust me when it comes to shiney new toys. I bet the dogs will be chasing that thing all around the track.

Greg, Good/Bad news

Todd O. Cronkhite Maine Native in FL. Exile :~(

>Bad news: couldn't mail it today.

Good news: It's all wrapped up, boxed,and addressed. I'll be waiting for them to open the Post Office door in the a.m.

I will send it Priority, but what with the heavy volume of mail at this time of year, it still may take more than the usual few days. Maybe say early next week it should arrive for sure.

Sleep tight! HO! HO! HO! HA! HA! HA!

Yeah, I'll do that.

And Todd O, you're a nasty little tart for making me wait to find out what it is! *big grin* (But for finding me such reputed goodies, I'm sure Santa and I will forgive you...)

(He won't even tell me in email either!)

Well, I'm waiting just the same as the rest of you.

Christmas is only 12 days away....

"...and a partridge in a pear tree..."

Cheers all,

Greg

If it isn't a LA plane, he does not want it.

He told me!

Ernie Miller Topeka

>And I accept bribes, kick backs and all forms of gratuity. Todd is a twisted boy I know what he has stuffed under his mattress. What kind of twisted person keeps there LN planes under the bed? what does this tell us about old Todd? Is your mind racing? being chaised by the dogs?

Greg Sloop, Portland Oregon

>Well, I have to have at least one low-versatility plane, right?! So I can see how few tasks I can do with just one plane! *grin*

Heck, it might not even be a plane. It could be one of those wagon wheel measuring thigies. What will I do then? Start making wagon wheels?

The quandry!

The Postman Cometh

Todd O. Cronkhite Maine Native in FL. Exile :~(

>Got to the post office bright and early this morning. O.K. the bright part is debateable, but I was early. Send it Priority and it should get there either Thursday or Friday to put you out of your pain.

I feel the greatest thing about this item is it's condition. It's not every day that the average Neanderthal comes across a too is this shape. I hope you like it, but if not sell or trade it.

Ernie, you just shush up! I had to tell somebody or I'd of exploded, so don'tyou go spillin' the beans, or I'll come a' spillin' vital red bodily fluids. ;~)
