I suspect that most of us forum members have "been there, done that". I sure didn't have any problem recognizing what that "artwork" was meant to convey. Fortunately, it's been many years since I've prayed to the "porcelain god".

Nice work Pitchy.

If I was a younger man, I'd buy all of Pitchy's metallic artwork......sure glad he gave me the BAR man...... for real, this stuff is gonna be worth big bucks one day.

A couple of guys came over last week and spied the BAR man through the bay window and said, "what's that?" "That's the coolest thing I ever saw!". -------6

Thanks Pitchy!

My FiL is an old Minnesoota farm boy from the general area and I thought something from Pitchy would be an appropriate gift for his 50th anniversary.

And, of course, Pitchy put together something amazing from his pile of parts.

I'm looking forward to dropping by in a few hours.

Thanks Pitchy!

We felt right comfortable in your place in the woods.

Nice talking and getting to see all of the stuff you haven't shared yet.

The tractor is cool, the chow was great, and the other gift is quite special. A fine Christian thing to do. And seeing your Matchlock up close was a real treat.

As long as the weather holds cool and rainy we shouldn't have any troubles with the car until we can get it into my in-law's garage.

Next stop, Somaliland MN... :twisted:
