OK - but where do you find them? I live in Topeka Kansas - and the guy that owns Carter Oil has bought up "what it seems" every old pump in the midwest...

Thanks,

Hey Frankie,
Whats that white stuff in your yard ? Do you guys grow that up there ? Never seen anything like it.

Frankies in California , at the turlock swap meet , , he brought a load of pumps down , you know when the snow flys up there and the tourist leave in sept , theres nothing to do but look for pumps and make babys , he gits 250.00 for an A-38 up there but 3.000.00 at turlock ,

Dwaine,
you need to get off the computer and get to work on those H. Earl clack globes. Otherwise ill never live to see one.
Why don't you go on down to Turlock,
You know your dying to.

Frankie, does your Mother -in -law have a car?? Maybe she would like to come for a weekend visit in the Okanogan Valley??
Its been a loonnnggg time since I had a 5 pump weekend... or month for that matter!!!
Especially since POGO lives in the same valley, makes it a lot tougher to find stuff...did have a few finds though, that were adequate........Later , dodogas

I DIDN'T MAKE IT TO TURLOCK, I WANTED TO, BUT OH-WELL.. I HOP IN MY OLD BLUE GMC, I CALL HIM "FLOYD", IT HAS A 454 ,I OVERHAULED IT BORED IT OUT 60 OVER BIG CAM ECT...IT GETS 8-.MI GAL. ANYWAY, THE FARMERS CAN RELATE WITH THE OLD WRECK, I MAKE SURE ITS DIRTY, AND I WEAR A CRUSTY OLD SHIRT, WELL NOT REAL CRUSTY ,JUST ENOUGH TO LOOK LIKE A GOOD-OL-BOY.. I STOP AT EVERY PUMP,IF NOBODYS HOME, WELL YOU GOT LOAD QUICK!! [ THATS WHERE ALL THAT HORSE POWER COMES IN ].. NO JUST KIDDIN!! I TAKE DOWN THEIR NAME OFF THE MAIL BOX, AND WHEN I GET TO MY SLEAZY, CHEAP ,MOTEL, I GET ON THE PHONE AND CALL ON ALL THE PUMPS THAT I DIDN'T GET AN ANSWER ON. IF I AM SUCCESSFUL ON PHONE ,I GET MYSELF A 12 PACK AND CELEBRATE,IF I AM NOT SUCCESSFUL, I GET A 12 PACK AND DROWN MY SORROWS. THATS HOW YOU HAVE A SIX PUMP WEEKEND ..

P.S. DWAINE IS A WEIRD DUCK!!
