  13. Thank You Trey.
  14. Thank You Trey.
  15. With all that paper squirreled away we should be able to wipe the virus off the face of the earth.
  16. Could it be Butch Cassidy or the Sundance Kid?
  17. A smile a day keeps the virus away.
  18. Yes it is just a section of fence. This salesman sample was carried around by a salesman to demonstrate a completed fence. Two posts with rails attached was enough to get the idea across. In my fir...
  19. Thanks Guys. Brings back great memories.
  20. Love your tie-in with the Volkswagens. Clever!! Allows you to post 5 pictures.
  21. All the young at heart love trains. These are exceptionally nice. Thank you for the lesson on La Rapide. You've done your homework and I am very thankful to learn something new today.
  22. Thanks Manikin. "Searching for gates in all the right places" is my theme song. Would love to recognize each lover and liker separately but my arthritis tells me I shouldn't, so here is a blanket t...
  23. Thanks guys. Funny how one thing can lead to another.
  24. Thanks Iptools, Most happy to share.
  25. You gotta love Peanuts yougottahavestuff!
  26. I can't topt that one!
  27. It''s a small world and I am glad to be a part of it. I only speak Texan and Topt means "topped" as in "they topt the hill".
  28. Some say tomato and some say tomatoe. Torte or cake ---- it is delicious. Not my thing to play with the Cyrillic keyboard. The English keyboard is more than I can handle. Thank you keramikos for t...
  29. Thanks for the info Thomas. Just adds to the flavor.
  30. Glad to see you are a law-abiding citizen! I grew up on Log Cabin syrup and cornbread. Thanks for the memories.
  31. Iptools - Thanks. Never heard of DATAMP. Will give it a try. I use Google Patents because it is easier than the Patent Office. I have collector friends who send me links to a myriad of tool and...
  32. Yes it is Nicefice. Thank You.
  33. Pleased to see the 20 team borax wagon on your wall. I bought one many years ago when Death Valley Days was on TV. Still in box. Never got around to putting it together. I love it.
  34. Hi John, Thanks for your interest in my fence stay salesman sample. I won it on a EBay auction. I'm afraid that this is the extent of my knowledge about the Cinch stay. You are certainly welcome t...
  35. Thanks OLECODY. Farmers are a tidy lot as a rule. If it's not still on a fence it is stored away in a barn or buried. The latter seems to have been the demise of a large amount of it. Have never ...
