Glad you had good time with Tom and all. I wish I could have been there but there will more ocasions.
And congratulations for the box! Can we see it??
 
It's always a pleasure to give something to someone that does not expect something :D No repayment, just something I wanted to do. Larry thought that this box was for the box swap and the puzzlement in his face when it was on the table front and center, priceless :D That was fun for me. Thanks for everything Larry :thumb:
OK Training is thru for the upcomming tour dewood and Larry passed with flying colors. So you folk on the list he's trained and up for the task, be prepared your about to meet one heck of a guy
Allen I keep a large can of beverage in my kegerator for just such things :D
 
Thanks Larry we all had fun last night. Dee seemed to like you and I hope you did also, she is a special girl and she is going to be around for a long time. And I Will post the Flat wood project, After I finish it.
Chuck I Believe that Dad Is expecting some booty in that box. :D
 
Well... after seeing that box, mine is not a box at all but some sort of container if I have to call it something. If at the begining I wasn't happy with it, now I'm close to throw it away:(.

That is a great box Tom, I'd like to have seen Larry's face when he got it!!
 
thats what i thought was going on but figured i had better check ,,never been to one of those in over30 yrs,, didnt realize they still do it..are yu part of them groups?
 
believe it or not, its still done all over the country. matter of fact, i ran ours 2 years in a row. my wife and i went to the new location of the rendezvous of a club that i used to belong to, and she said that she would like it, if it weren't so primitive. i married a girly-girl...:rofl:
