So, I stop in to see Electric Al's setup...impressive I may add, and ended up buying some really pretty hard maple from him. Must have been unlucky maple. 5 miles down the road, I blew out a fuel injector on my van :'(, limped in to Cedar Rapids, successfully :), got the Ford dealer to give me a loaner :), got most of my work done :), picked up my van :), got a bill for $700 :'(. Got in my van :), finished my calls :), started heading home :), trouble again >:(this time a coil pack >:( , $275 later >:(, I get back in and get home 3 1/2 hours late >:(, have no cold beer :'(, but order a pizza :), and tell my story on the FF :).
That wood must have been the cause. But it is really pretty, and Al was very nice. He just has to do a backwards anti-voodoo dance around the woodshed to rid the wood of the bad karma stuff.
Al, next time we will have to do lunch or something.

I recommend the polish dogs just across the River from Davenport.

Sounds like it truly was "hard" maple. ;D
Oldsaw,
Sorry to hear about the van troubles. The Maple was nice, but it's not worth $975 extra :o
Now in defense of Linda and Myself, Arkansawyer made it here and back fine. Oakiemac made a successful trip too. Even Horselogger made it over and back with no problems.
We have been inspected by InspectorWoody, and no complaints ;)
So, I'm not convinced we affected a Polish dog or a Mexican injector any >:(
Guess what fellas, Norm and Patty are coming Saturday ;D, and we're going to have a blast sawing with out ya :D.
Is Charlie Coming? ;D
You never know when Charlie might show up, we'll see ;)
;D
oldsaw,
Sounds like you could have had it delivered cheaper. ::)
Heck you coulda' stayed home and drank cold beer and ate pizza. ;D
Gus
Electric Al and Linda...Them's good people.
Thanks again Al, and I promise not to hold any grudges.
PS: The pizza and beer were good.

Yeah, I made the 7 hour trip to Electric Al's with almost no problems. We were some where in Illinois, going through a traffic snarle (road construction) with a six inch drop off in the right lane. Well the driver decided that that would be a good time to take a snooze and we almost went off the edge with the trailer and our newly bought Ford fork lift tractor! I think it would of completely flipped the whole rig over. After that I drove the rest of the way home.
