Jenna, I'll have you know it's ****ed inconvenient having to click, right click, save and decide where I'm going to save your pics... ;-) You really do have a wonderful family and they take good photos. I'm glad the Computer gods smiled upon you... you didn't have to make a deal w/ Bill Gates did you?

Shane, nope, no deals with Bill Gates. Are you kidding, I don't have that kind of money. I should be on his charity list. Hey, there's an idea! Anyone know if he's a history buff???
Steven, don't even go there with my on the batter forge. My brother's unit and my husband want to build one. WE even have the blue prints for it. And I believe one of my brother's co-hearts even has the wagon gear. There is one group up here that has one, but my hubby is unimpressed. Ya know, road trips are fun! You could always come up here and Jon could show you the roaps!!!
Jenna
Oh, and thank you both for the compliments once again on the pics. I just love to share. It's a great way to show others what you do for fun (without being obsene! Hee Hee)
If you have spare blue print sure our the guys in my unit that are interested could build one. they are the mostdo it yourselfers i know .. from wood work to home made wine that will curl your toes, smoked ham .. the capt of the artillery group built his own tube for the cannon limber etc..
I take the blue prints are to spec with the period. My capt has a Army wagon he is try to restore as well.
If ya'll deside to go to Motor Mill I'll see ya there as of right now I plan on going .
regards,
Steven
