How 'bout we just borrow it, ride to Oklahoma to break it in, and bring it back well looked after and with some watermelon and home-churn in the saddle bags.

You make them referigerated bags, right WC?

Maybe not a good idea. When the condenser kicks in, the hoss might spook and go to bucking!

That's why we would have to steal it.He would kill us,but we would die with big fat butter bellies and a smile on our face and he would get that purty saddle back.

  WC, if you keep this up I am going to have to quit my job and come out and apprentice myself to you. Do ya think 55 is to old to start an apprenticeship??
  I am running out of words to use that will describe the work you are doing. I can definitely tell it is a labor of love.

Wow is all I can say WC, that looks incredible. I'm assuming that fender was not a "several days" project, considering how quickly you post these pictures. I'm aslo assuming pictures don't do it justice, and I will find out for sure next Wednesday. Looking forward to it. I promise not to "thump" anyone with my Bible either :o

It's coming on beautifully, Cowboy. To use Ace's adjective - awesome. Skeet.
