[AJD] GP Skid Rings/CHINA

[Louis]

Have you had camel paw or duck feet to eat?  The rice gives you the
opposite problem that you would expect from being in a foreign country.


I know what you mean about the discos and traffic.  When our group
traveled on buses, I thought of the song by the Who "Magic Bus".  Hoping
to get to where we were going, alive and in one piece, and then back.  

I noticed when we were there; the construction of large/tall buildings
were of concrete.  There isn't much, if any steel in those buildings.
That may have changed in the past 10 years.  Epically after that big
earthquake.  People in my group remarked that if an earthquake were to
strike, there would be a lot of devastation, and there was when it
happened.

Have you seen the power plant outside of Beijing?  They take the fly ash
right out the back and dump it. Try doing that here.

The pollution is still pretty bad but outside the big cities not asmuch,
the food is absolutely to die for and in fact i will probably will,
haha. The poorest people on earth sit outside buildings containing the
probably some of the richest, much of oldchina is rapidly dissapearing
and the big cities are much more modern than what we have here in the
states.really strange when you see a sheep herder in the middle of
Tibet, whip out his cell phone to make a call.  Coverage for phones in
china is light years ahead of the states.  The discos here are crowded
and LOUD. The volume
control is an off-on switch.   Mostof the farm equipment here is hand
tools
and sone very interestign ones,all so much differnet then what we have.
If I dont die from being run over by a taxi or die from eating too much
food i should have my GP up and runnng for the June meet in Chehalis,
Wash.  See you there.

I was in China 10 years ago, I have no interest in ever going back.
Their pollution makes LA look pristine.  I was coughing my head off for
2 weeks after I got home, along with everyone else in our group.

I have been taking parts off of a GP which has front steel wheels.  One
is very good condition the other not so good.  What are they worth?
Maybe I can purchase and ship to someone if needed. I wont be making any
profit, just a courtesy. Right now I am in an internet cafe in Nanning
China, so anyone interested would need to wait about a month or more. By
the way, I would estimate that over 90-95% of all farming here is still
done by hand and by ox.  Amazing!!

Luke 
Other than the fact I wish I had your steel wheels (!) give Kim Johnson
a call, he used 
to make skid rings. He is in Cloquet, MN and his # is 218-729-7143 or at
least that's 
the last # I have.
