joeferret Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Surely the Black Hills of South Dakota re more than 40 miles SW of Chicago? About 960 miles.....Grew up & worked in chicago area then retired to Heaven in the Black Hills...Due to major family medical problem now back in chicago area (unfortunately) for a few months.......Trying to keep a positive outlook on things while i am back here for a bit....Been studying all i can about the Ferret to keep my mind busy.....Very close to being a Ferret owner....Pics would follow when that happens.........

Tony B Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Ah Joe! I'm sorry to say you have an incurable case of Green Disiease. Prime symptom is asking lots of questions about obscure bits of kit. Like the rest of us, you'll just have to live with it! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime symptom is asking lots of questions about obscure bits of kit. Like the rest of us, you'll just have to live with it! :-D Yes Tony.....Received all handbooks yesterday...Lots to study and learn...The best are the individual stories of regular back yard mechanics and the soldiers that served... The previous owner of the Ferret said it shipped out wednesday in an enclosed trailer....He said it was in the trailer with expensive classic Porche's and Bmw's...He said it was quite a sight to see...I told him one of those Porche's better not scratch my tank...LOL..... Any personal tips on anything about the Ferret please feel free to pm me...Any tips are greatly appreciated from everyone.. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
