Ok...I live 20 minutes from PSI and now I am taking orders on pens for people at work. I ran over to PSI and picked up 12 different pen kits, blanks, boxes, bushings, back scratchers, bottle openers, and a cigar punch key chain...OMG. :eek: I am in deep! Oh well...I am loving it...:D

There is a saying here in the vortex: No pictures? NO PROJECTS!!!

Proof, man. We demand PROOF of your membership in the vortex!! :D

I hate to break it to you but that's not deep. It's just scratching the surface. :)
