I apologize for posting this note. Ok, so I'm old and forget a bunch of stuff but this is just too much. Some time ago on one of the four Turning forums I go to daily a turner suggested he would be in my area this summer and wanted to stop by for a shop visit. Not exactly sure why anyone would want to visit my shop but in the last few days I got a message from him asking if I would be available in July. My Mac computer promptly lost (or I lost?) his note. I can not remember his name or which site he contacted me on but I thought it was here. If so please send me another pm . . . .
 
Do not be surprised about people wanting to visit you. When I travel I always try to find a turner, a place to buy wood, a club etc. My shop is always open for visitors, I get quite a few a year. Its always fun to talk to turners, and you never know, I have learn tricks and odd things from visitors.
 
I learn something from every turner who stops by now matter how new they are. People of all backgrounds always have something to offer if you are willing to listen.
 
I am watching the history channel, they say that Kamloops is a hotspot for Bigfoot. He must be a woodturner to throw boulders at campers, i guess he wants to keep all that wood to himself.
 
Bigfoot, Tx. 76° thunderstorm tomorrow
