Ralph, you are a evil person. :-) Now it's going to be even *longer*
before I get any work done in my shiny new shop because I'm just going
to have to go out and build a whole bunch of useful tools and stuff
based on the pictures in your shop tour.

<CRANKY-OLDE-FA*T-MODE TYPE="digital">
The Information Highway is jammed bumper to bumper with 40-foot
Winnebagos, each with 200# of chrome, satellite dish on the roof, GPS,
CB, Iridium phone, collapsible gazebo, barbecue and picnic table,
Grand Cherokee in tow, behind which, Honda Civic in tow, behind which
his-n-hers dirt bikes in tow plus a trailer for half a dozen bicycles.
Hot showers for all and pony for the kids onboard.
Occasionally you see one of us OLDE-FA*Ts: We drive stuff like, say,
the frame from a 1947 Dodge Ram, turbocharged 500HP engine from
something else, knobby tires and *chains*, seat from a Peterbuilt, cab
from a John Deere and a gasoline heater from a 1959 VW. If anything
is in tow, it's trailer full of tools, jacks, rigging, anvils, spare
parts and kitchen sinks. Yes, we gotta stop on the roadside
occasionally to tweak the ignition, the fuel gauge is a dipstick and
sometimes the crank-and-ratchet steering is a pain. To phone home, we
gotta climb a convenient phone pole and hook up a butt set. Can't
watch TV onboard so we miss a lot.
But we get to skip all the hassle (not to mention expense) of owning
the the Winnebago+Cherokee+.....
</CRANKY-OLDE-FA*T-MODE>
My 4.7 version of Netscape Navigator for Linux (the latest version that's
just a browser, not an all-purpose bells and whistles "communicator")
doesn't support a version of Javascript that will handle the the
"slide show" and becomes very confused.
However, I managed to weasel the individual URLs out of the js.
For anybody still having trouble accessing the Bearhill shop tour,
paste the bit below into a file, load it into your browser and you
should be able to see the pictures, each worth at *least* 1000 words.
