schoolhouse or hill?

my avatar is me in my old backyard right after hurricane floyd took out a few trees in my backyard...

Actually, one West on 663. Kings Rd.

Your avatar is slick. Ah yes. Hurricane Floyd. I recall that day. After picking up my truck from a Cummins repair center (replaced the engine ) it took me 6 hours to get home, which would have normally taken 1 1/4 max. Everything was flooded that day.

Thanks Beelsr!

Seller has sold 20 items with 100% feedback, the tank looks to be in what I would call a solid "Good" condition, the little lincon grease gun is the final touch,,,, we all greased bar-tips back then. I gave those grease guns away with new chainsaw sales if the saw was not to discounted,,,, if I rember right, they were like 3-bucks each if you bought a dozen from a Stihl Distriburtor(?)
It has just the right amout of scraches and dents that one would not have to feel gulity to use it.

I will be bidding on it more towards the close, (6 days) if nobody here is bidding on it?

it's yours. i'm jealous because the tools are all included but i can't justify going after it just to get the "authentic tools". My $3 oregon plastic grease push-tip gun is working just fine...

I was in NYC working that week. Ruy closed the city down early and the Amtrak back to 30th street was uneventful but it took my 4 hours to drive back from center city. schuylkill was loaded with dead branches and trunks, detours everywhere and blocked roads once you got off to try and go around. absolute nightmare.

Kings Road - had to pull up yahoo maps for that one. Right off the reservoir - nice.... Where do you go for pizza?

(Getting severly off topic, but . . . .)

It's OK, but too small and restrictive for me. I'm looking for 10 to 20 acres, so I can spread out and make milling noise.

Chiaro's Pizzeria & Restaurant on Main, right off of 663. Good pizza, and the Italian girl working the grill isn't hard on the eyes either.

massively....

I like Mario's better. Although there used to be the Ice Cream place right next to Chiaro's. Don't remember the girl but I haven't been there since I moved (4 years ago). If you go to Mario's, tell Sal I said hi.

Really good food is Dolce Vita on Main St. (63) in Sumneytown. If you go there, tell Frank i said hi.

Every time I go to Philly, I stop back at one of them and pick up 4-5 pizzas, some hoagies, a box of garlic knots, etc...


I had 2.5 acres down there and it was a little too tight to make much noise. 84 up here and there's plenty of room. Although this week made all the green come out and I wasn't done marking the trees I wanted to take...
