A Feeling in My Bones

dusty · Post by **dusty** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 12:48 pm

I have a feeling that the forum will soon (some time this week) become flooded with joyous discussion, originating from here in Tucson, for having just received a New Mark 7; yeah, the one with a PowerPro Headstock.

I can hardly wait.

:) NO, it is not me!:(

I told my boss I have to stick close to town this week. I am expecting an urgent delivery and I have to be on hand to sign for it. Hum... wonder what that could be:rolleyes:

I did not tell him that I may end up with an eye infection (I'm sorry sir, I just can't see coming into work today:eek: ) JK

How about some pictures of it coming off the truck, the opening of the boxes etc. I can still remember a bit of my delivery back in 1976, and since it is unlikely I'll ever see another one I like to share yours if you don't mind.

Sounds like you will need a week off, one day at a time... you will not be much good at work thinking shopsmith thoughts all day anyway.

You can solve that problem real easily. Just have it delivered here. I'll be home all day, every day, to receive it (and sign for it).

Serious Now.

You do have a tracking number so that you can see exactly (which day) when it is to be delivered, right???

Dusty you failed to mention your intention of trying it out for a few years. Jim

Oh Yeah, I would be available to do that but I'll not hold my breathe. I have this feeling that it is going to get a good workout without me interfering. But, like I said, I'll be available. Have F250, will haul.

Oh Boy, I know that feeling. That is funny! I thought Dusty was going to going to jump into the Peyton Manning thing with his first line. Kinda glad he didn't, it is nice to have a place to talk about the other good things in life. Enjoy the grand son, I have 3 grand daughters and 1 grandson! Special blessings all.
