I called Bro Noble

[Jeff]

I was getting worried about him. Turns out his computer is in da shop and "somebody a bit south of him and in a different state that sounds like his nick name" ;) was supposed to drop us a message that he was o.k.

Hes O.K. and will be back as soon as he can be.

Now, I gotta call some more absentees

[chet]

Ya should've told dat cheap old fart ta bust inta his piggy bank and git a new one.  ;)

[Bibbyman]

He's probably trying to make a PC out of one of the old Barker power saws.  :D

Jeff,  did you get a picture of one of those odd looking things? Of all the pictures I took when I was down there,  I didn't get one of one of them.

He did better than git a picture. He brought one of dem funny lookin' saws home wit him.
He done did lost it though. Some fast talkin' yooper conned him out of it.   ;D

[Jeff]

I'll be gettin it back though...
