Mrs.G have you ever been to El Camino when you come to Plymouth? It's next to the Red Rock Inn out by Key bank and the Holiday Inn.
Very good Mexican food

Mi Camino...we go there fairly often. Fajitas Jalisco for Two is our "usual" when we go there.

Hacienda burnt last week, Wed, Thur or Fri. My kid was driving by while the fire trucks were there. I've been by twice since then and forgot to look

Found this... Small Fire Closes Hacienda for Lunch on Wednesday | WTCA FM 106.1 and AM 1050 The Best, Music, News and Sports

DQ had fire trucks there the other day, but it was something that overheated and not an actual fire. I believe they reopened the next day. Whew...that could have been bad.

Oh...and HELLO!!

Somehow, I was put in charge of the flag poles at work. I need to replace the tuck (rotating double pulley) but can not find one with the right thread to screw into the top of the pole. All sites I have seen have either a 1-1/1
4 or 1-1/2 NPT fitting. The one on the pole is and oddball. Its not pipe thread because the thread pitch is 12 and a 1.25 coupling slides over it.

Did you try that flag place in Mishawaka? I can't think of the name of the place now

 

[red_zr24x4]

Hiya Mom!

 

[SEIndSAM]

Howdy Mom45.


Nite Leadeye...

I have looked everywhere. Called 2 manufactures and they both said, "Hmmm, don't know what to tell you, never heard of that"

I ordered the 1.25NPT one and will have it machines down. If it doesn't screw in tight I will through bolt it.

 

[db1959]

The lady in the office who placed the order was looking too. She was getting as frustrated as me. She believes the new one will fit with no problem. I love her optimism.

You probably have a metric flag pole designed for flying communist flags.
