    It sure was good meeting you. It was my first GTG as well. I'm just sorry I didn't have more time to talk to you and some of the other guys.

    Congrats to ole buddy Eric VW on winning the saw-Did he really just supervise, i.e., do nothing? The truth will come out....Glad all had such a good time and sorry I couldn't make it...

    Thank you to Dennis and Judy for hosting the GTG! It was great to meet so many members. I had a great time and did not want to leave. As it was, I was late getting home for my son's birthday cookout. But I couldn't leave before watching Shawn Curry demonstrate his saw mill! Good food, beautiful weather, and great people made for an awesome weekend. Hopefully we can get together soon for another one!

    I sure hope he got instructions to it so his wife can operate it for him. It definitely looks too big for him to handle. Oh and congrats on the win Eric VW , never enough toys around the house.

    Every single person I met was great. Absolutely a group that I'm proud to belong to. This was also my first gtg and certainly won't be my last. A personal Thx to Shawn Curry for the milling demo which I basically considered lessons from a master.

    Thanks to the hosts, cooks, gary for the saw donation, walt for the handmade gifts, and even the dogs of fhc for all getting along!

    Dennis, did you eat all those pies yet? :)

    And a great big thank you Eric for taking the pictures. I simply did not have enough time to take any. You were a life saver.

    This is funny Brad. Judy sometimes gets a bit uptight especially for gatherings. Yet just today, she asked me if we should consider making this an annual event!!!!!

    Make sure you don't wait too long to make it to your second one! It will probably be even better than this one.

    Brad, this is one of the things that bothers me a lot. I simply did not have enough time to talk to everyone as much as I wanted to. Hopefully I'll be forgiven for that.

    Absolutely not Walt! You worked hard and a lot and that atv surely got a big workout. Also, many, many thanks for the wedges and file handles you brought for everyone. But, we still have the Wild azz jeans that nobody took home with them.

    Is there anyone on this forum who could wear a size 42 or 44 jeans? We have a pair of each that will happily go to a new .... home.

    And I'm sorry I missed you when you had to leave after watching Shawn at work. But knowing we talked about this (twice!) sort of softened the blow.
