    402 miles...one way.

    Was down in Vicksburg, MS last year, for the same group. Rust hunting both ways, and took two days of travel. Might be a shorter trip, this year. Might do a post about it, when I get back home....

    Got back home Sunday evening. Was down at Charles Neil's place. Brought home 1/2 a pickup truck load of hardwood, and more tools than I went down there with. Bad when you turn down TWO Record #4 planes......

    Have a few new planes to rehab. On the way home...

    Stopped at the ONLY Antique Store we could actually find that was open ( and we had to wait until we got into Ohio..) Found one item worth picking, as a large Thunderstorm was getting a might close..

    I,too,am a tool hog. But,they can make it hard to build things if you have large numbers of the same tool. The things I keep in large numbers are milling machine cutters. A lot of end mills. Fortunately they do not take up a large amount of space!
