-- Rob, Sue and Joey Robinson 94 WLWB Greg 's truck pit - magnus caeruleus avis - 11-15-2009 02:15 That's way too Koooool, Greg. Good Job. Maybe you can figure out a way to use that technique for advertising - help subsidize our fuel and repair bills, i.e. "Rent-A-Bird Advertising". Greg 's truck pit - gregory O - 11-15-2009 07:09 Thanks, projects like that are fun. we are making plans to convert an airstream trailer into a parade float that folds open for parade goers to get a look inside. however the plans are to embellish the interior decor a bit. This weekend there are 5 Rainbowrv event across the country, things are beginning to gain momentum. This forum and the interaction and fellowship between members was the lesson to me of possibilities with Rainbowrv membership. I believe the rv personality is the uniquely wonderful attitude both our groups share that make all this fun. I will have the bus and shoe in Quartzsite Rainbowrv has big plans for our area of the desert. Tim and I will spend some time with the BBcircle and I hope our BlueBird friend can check out the fun 1 mile away. Dont worry Rob, there is no initiation.

I think that was an outstanding effort and it looks as thought it was a great success. I've watched the video several times and The Shoe, " STEELETTO " and it's ability to raise and lower was a real crowd pleaser, I'm certain the needle on the fun meter was in the red the day of the parade, it's quite unique.

I fail to compare to your artistic ability. Several years back I visited your site I'm not a gun collector but I marveled at your work. You have a motto, something like 'engraving is limited only by imagination' I thought about having a lighted grab rail modified by adding some metal then commissioning some engraving. like the coach name, manufacture date, BB logo, a colonial welcome pineapple, and scroll art http://kguns.com/photoalbum.html Greg 94ptca --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "bumpersbird" > > Greg, > > From one craftsman to another, Bravo!
