Mr. Recovery meets Hambone

Unread post by Mr. Recovery » August 22nd, 2023, 11:47 pm

Took a little trip out to El Dorado Ark last week to pick up a project and meet Hambone. Had a very nice visit and saw some great projects. "Rick F" you need to visit him someday! :D

Now THERE's a pair! The world is a safer place because we like-minded folk don't live too close together.

I remember when he got that coot, he was never going to get rid of it. Come to think of it, he never gets rid of ANYTHING! how did you talk him out of that. And we have met, he stopped in here at my place after a trip to Ney York. You can ask him what he was doing in New York.

Two old coots with two old coots.

Dan
It was a pleasure visiting with you and Jason, I could have talked with you guys all day, Rick, that was the first Coot I purchased several years ago, then found one in a little better shape, both are the sought after 4 wheel steer. Dan was also able to pick up his gas tank bottoms I have been holding for him for several years, plus sent him away with a treasure that would help pay for gas. Glad he was able to check out the 718 since I remember him restoring one in the past, If any fellow MV'r is ever in the area, feel free to stop by, I have a lot of junk and a few treasures. Dan, I'm still going to stop by and have that beer with you on one of my trips to the coast, Oh, I forgot to mention, never visit New York City during Pride Week. :lol: :lol: :shock:

Yes, and when the apocalyptic event has settled down the "old coots" will be all that survives! :shock: :roll: :lol: :P

When Dan stopped by my place, it was to pick up a case of liquor :D :wink:
