He definitely turned heads on the farm with his classy Big Bolt ride home for his tree... Here's Tinkerbolt and Hambone loading the tree truck Here's TB's '66 C-60 Rollback loaded up and ready to roll. Christmas season is underway! And even Mike Roache stopping by didn't *completely* disrupt operations... Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving. John

Shoulda gotten a bigger one to mess with the neighbors as he drove by, then cut to fit.

But thats just MY opinion! :P

But at 600 kts, I'm not sure it would have any needles on it by the time it got there  Freq -- That's about as big as they get on our farm  I need to send them out your way for taller Spruces! John

All I really care about at this point is that many of them die -- As many as you have ammo for. I don't care if you offer thanks to the Spirits, drink their blood, use their pelts for clothing, make stew out of their meat or just leave them for the buzzards. Just kill them. To me, the only difference between them and mosquitoes is that they're bigger and do more damage. Mike R. -- Landowner with a Pest Permit = 30.06 is *always* in season John

The US Post Office says that "If it fits, it ships" for one low rate. I'll have to check out their box sizes. Great picture, that's one very nice '66. The tree ain't so bad either.

The tree is doing great and is beautiful in the house decorated. Hey Mike thats what a real work truck looks like in case you were woundering. Maybe IKE can meet DEMPSEY sometime and share a few pointers.

Coincidentally she's back this year and Mrs Jock and I joked how fancy are we? Having 'our' tree decorator fly over to decorate it! Alas, we decided not to put our tree up this year thanks to the demolition expert!
