Keep Your Fingers Crossed!

Wesman61 · 11-16-2012, 08:55 AM

I was talking to a Boss where I work yesterday about a stainless steel barrel that I saw in the storage garage. He said they were going to sell it so I asked what they wanted. He's going to talk to The Plant Manager who I happen to have a little favor with. I'm hoping he gives me a great price or just lets me have it. It has a lid and is a candidate as a donor barrel for the Big Pappa UDS conversion kit.

Bring in a little BBQ and tell 'em there could be more where that came from if things go right.

Rich Parker · 11-16-2012, 11:55 AM

I agree bring in some good treats and show him what good things can come out of this deal.
