Good Morning everyone,

Went on a 1000+ mile road trip the last two days to pick up a neon sign I got on eBay. Everything went just fine. The wife came along at the last minute which gave me some company on the long drive. We saw everything from snow packed roads to nice weather in the 50s. Our non-petro friends probably think we are nuts.

Have a great Hump Day out there in Oldgasland!

Way to go Jim... tell us about a neon and then not show it to us. LOL

It is snowing right now, pretty hard actually. I dont think we are supposed to get very much, but then again, who knows right?

Busy day in the shop again, we are buried in work, not a bad problem I guess.

Have a good day everybody!


FREEDOM oil items wanted.

I posted a pic of the neon sign I got in the Non-Petro Buys topic:

Can't wait for some tubes to be restored and to light it up.

Morning all. Neat neon, Jim. One of those is on my list, I just have to see the right one to get me started. Another nice day shaping up here with the sun blazing and supposed to get up in the high forties, lower fifties. We have been planning a trip to Arizona in February but when it's this nice at home I really don't care if I leave. Been cleaning and moving in the shop this week and trying to sell off some things that have been setting in the way for years. Still procrastinating about my remodel of the shop. I just know whatever i decide will not be what I want after a lot of mess and building. Guess I just have to bite the bullet and do something though. Have a great day all.....GB

Afternoon all! Pretty nice day here in North Dakota. The Warden is going to get off work early and we're headed out to see if we can locate a few more Walleyes!
I bought another Husky Pump plate for my collection, and I went to put it on the wall this morning, and it won't fit where I had planned! NOW WHAT??? It would take a lot of moving of other signs to get the couple inches that I need, so it will have to sit on the bench while I ponder the location! HHhhmmmmmm???
Have a great day on me!!--KEVIN

That is a really nice neon Jim . Be sure and post us a picture when the neon is repaired. Killer sign.


I like SINCLAIR and old American made stuff ... No china items.

Jim,
I don't think that is nuts at all. Wish I had the time to get out and do that. Nothing better than getting away from it all and seeing the country with your wife.
