I was told a couple days ago to get my passport.  They seem to want me to come and help them with some consulting and such.  I am not sure of even doing such as thing, but Alice is getting the paperwork together for the passports.  Of course, she was invited as well.  I guess she could be called my consutling advisor.

This is old, and unfortunately I could not find some pics I had previously taken at Frank's.  If you look over the top of the firewood crate you can 'see' some of the structure of the mill :)

Post by: Frank Pender - AKA "Tail Gunner" on December 28, 2009, 06:12:04 AM
Harold, all I can recall, is that the people had 15,000 acres of Teak to process and harvest.
Title: Re: Head Rig
Post by: HaroldCR - AKA Fla.-Deadheader on December 28, 2009, 06:23:51 AM

 Teak plantations are scattered all over the country. No way to tell about where it was to go.
