Well, come on by and say howdy. I was hoping to have *something* done to sell at Blade show since I'll probably go all 3 days and hang out at Bugei's table. I might have a thing or two to show people even if I won't have anything to sell.

Okay, to be completely honest it will be my little vacation. I've been working way too hard and way too worried about too many things. Not being a guy who punches a clock for someone else I don't get paid vacations. So I its been a *looong* time since I've had much in the way of time off let alone a weekend. So my wife and I agreed a few months ago that the entire 3 day weekend is mine, mine, mine. An excuse to talk with friends, drink beer, that kind of stuff. :D Of course that will give me the entire weekend to look at stuff too. There's always a few things I like to see while I'm there. But usually the most important part for me is just meeting those folk I only know by USERID on-line or by phone.

Hello there Brother of the Turcael! Hope all is well with you. Would love to see the Pacific version of the Blade Show, but....
Is it time for the Atlanta Show yet???!!! :lol: Nice to see you over here!


Best regards,
Ron

Keith,

Yes, it would be great to meet up with you there. I was at the Atlanta Blade Show and met a number of people from the online community. I found this to be a rewarding experience; yes, even dealing with David Stokes. (That's just a joke there, David :D ) Will try to be there bright and early Saturday morning.

Ron,

Hello back to ya, Brother of Turcael. Glad to find you well. Saw the pic of the bluderbuss. With that and the Turcael, you're ready to spearhead any boarding party.

I'm counting the days til Atlanta myself, as I'm sure many others are.

I'm also scheduled to go to Las Vegas Classic in January. Oy, I have to go to Vegas? It's a tough job, but someone has to do it. It should also be interesting since the knife show coincides with Antique Arms show.

Har Har Har Stephen, ya so funny!

It will be a hard thing for me to make it to that show, but that email you sent me Stephen , twisting my arm , making me go, well i just might, we will see how the new job goes
