Default Calgary trip?

Rob,
Why don't you load up the dental box on a trailer,Come out to the Calgary gun show this weekend with us and we can use it for a camper,make a deal with Arlon,we can go to his place,lift it onto his CMP frame and then come back with us?Sound like a plan? Plus you get to see the biggest gun show in Canada!Think about it.
Arlon,
I will bring the plates with me to the show and you can have a look at them and decide if you can use them.
Regards,Derk.

Default First of all Dirk...

I just spent the last 2 months with a tooth ache and then an $1800.00 dentist bill for a root canal...no plan... so I am not about to sleep in anything dental related!! Enjoy the show, keep your eye open for anything Bofors /HUW related. Call if you see that illusive 32 pattern Mae West. The Fat restoration is coming along. Cheers Rob

Default You paid money to have a tooth pulled!

Rob,
What kind of collector are you spending money foolishly hiring somebody to do something you can do yourself at home.$1800.00 could have been used to rebuild an engine or paint,parts,tires etc. If you needed help,you should have called me over and I would have pulled that sucker out for you and only charged you the price of a Hamburger off of your grill.MMMM.......you sure can cook them.Of course a root canal is a little trickier than just pulling a tooth but the secret is to get in there with a 3/4'' chisel straight in the middle of the tooth and split it in half and then split the 2 halves so you have 4 quarter pieces of the tooth and with a set of needlenose,grab hold and twist out the piece of tooth like removing a fish hook,once all 4 pieces are gone,Rinse the wound by gargling with some vodka,spit it out and then take a swig to kill the pain,pack it with cotton and wait for the hole to heal up.Simple,but it's too late now you have already had it done and paid the money.Call me first the next time you have an ailment and see if I can help first before going elsewhere where they will charge you.
Hope you heal up well and will keep an eye out for bofors stuff.
Derk.
P.S. Arlon,I guess you will have to wait on the dental box!
