My wife and I are totally 'stoked' as they say - Brendan Pineo just called and told us our Crawford No. 3 BH will be ready in a week or two - what a thrill.

We needed some good news!!!

Brendan said it's turning out to be a real beauty. They're just waiting for the nickle to be finished.

Here's what a rusty mess it was when I got it last Fall:

Chris

P.S. - Wilson's made a lot of progress on our No. 2 - can't wait to get it too.

Hi Chris. Glad to hear your stove restorations are wrapping up. I'm sure you'll be excited to have those home and possibly running this winter. Not sure if there going right into service or not.
Never the less. I'm pumped for you. Kevin

Guess my Herald is somewhere in the back of the line behind all that important stuff. Oh well, I can always console myself by polishing the nickel on my Wings and wait patiently. Just 'cause it's the middle of summer does not mean I am not desperate too......

You betcha, William and I agree, there be a bitchen winter ahead again. So everybody relax, I have coal up the wazzu, stoves coming out of my ears. I'm going to be ultraprepared this time so it's obvious. We will be on the beach in January lathering on the SPF 30 and polishing the sunglasses. They don't call me a day late and dollar short for nothing.
