What is your one big shop "need" and your one big "want"?

Want: Hard Wood, I don't care what
Need: Hard Wood, I don't care what

Then get your retired behind into a truck and drive to Ohio. With a month or so of advance notice, I can fill any reasonably-sized trailer chock full of native hardwoods for a buck or two per bf, and have fun doing it.

Cases in point:

http://columbus.craigslist.org/for/5700654818.html

P.S. I do not recommend visiting Ohio from December through March, unless maybe you are a cross-country skiing fan. And even then, don't come in March.

ERL will do all the cooking!

and what wood I can in the BMer, 8ft long fits real nice with the passenger seat laid down/back!!!

You have no idea how I envy that ....

I sold all of my PU's have a couple of 20 foot trailers but nothing to pull them with. I may bring my Motorhome out of moth balls and take you up on that! I am may get a 2 day a week job ( ) helping a US mail contractor with her route, she really needs the help. If I land the job, I told my wife I would be going on some hardwood runs LOL.

Thanks Dennis, I will probably take you up on your generous offer. Keep your eyes open for some nice wood. I really don't know what to even look for species wise, so any suggestion (no you are not pushy ) would be appreciated. Spalted and unusual would be neat to work with (I guess )

On the BMer V 12, you can set a 5 rib Black Angus Prime Rib Roast, wrapped in Aluminum Foil, on one of the Exhaust Manifolds, in a pan, drive for about 4 hours, perfect Medium Rare, in the summer time

12 hour shifts on the flight line loading bombs on airplanes and no break to go eat. The MJ-1 bomb lift was the load crews friend. It was known as a Jammer. There was more stuff heated up on the manifold of one of them than anyone will ever know. You got to love it to do it.

I am assuming the planes engine/exhaust not the Jammer??

You don't get near a jet engine intake or exhaust. An F-16 intake will suck you up in a second. There is a red semi-circle painted on the ramp in front of the parking spot (actually a line like a road stripe) that you don't go inside when the engine is running. The exhaust you can duck under if you are within about 10 feet of the turkey feathers. The crew chiefs do it regularly on their pre launch check with the engine running and the pilot in the seat.

Then you have the end of runway check. The pilot does a final pre flight check of all the systems required at the end of the runway with the crew chief and then the load crew goes in and checks all the munitions and pulls all the safety pins.

The pilot taxies out to the runway, hits after burner and he is gone. You just launched another successful mission.

I heard, misread maybe, that when they launch with munitions, even not used they are ejected b4 landing. Is that true?
