Head Rig

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 :)

It would probably take at least 4 lowboy type trailers to haul the who shabang out of here.

Harold, all I can recall, is that the people had 15,000 acres of Teak to process and harvest.

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