No, something much worse. I am at work! I will be posting a couple tonight. Got some homade stuff that a guy made just after WWII when metal and stuff was still in short supply so he scavenged his old Creek Chubs and turned new bodies and recycled the hardware. Very interesting.

Also, on the 11th I will post a tribute to my brother John. He was killed in Vietnam on March 11th, 1969. He used to make poppers for Stripers and Paul Kukonen sold them in his shop in Worcester for John while John was a senior at Burncoat High School. I will show the plugs I have left that he made. They are nothing special to look at but they are my most valuable possesions. I often wonder what he would have been making today if he had come home..............

Why even try.........
