new family member

at about 1:30 pm this afternoon big jer added new member of the family to the shop. it's a 9x42x about 3000lb bridgeport milling machine. an there were a few tense moments on the way to the auction, fresh snow this mornin roads were slick, truck way orerloaded, plus pulling trailer many cars in the ditch and stuck. we made it to the sale in the nick of time. and with a few nods of the head she was all mine. thats the last tool until i build a bigger shop. an still no damn smiley face's!!??

SWeet. Those are fun to play with. Course...I just you it as a glorified drill press. LOL

*ok, i've milled out a couple of slots in stuff, but don't tell anyone.
