SMC -- You Have Come a Long Way

[Rich Konopka]

I was testing out a new search engine www.icerocket.com (http://www.icerocket.com/) ( real cool :cool: ) and I entered the string woodworking + sawmill and voila. The first result was SMC !! :)

there is also some other info (e.g. archive) I clicked on it and brought up some real interesting info.

Real Cool :cool:

SMC surely has come a long way !!!

Thanks SMC !!

[Dennis Peacock]

Yup....I remember then.!!!!

Gotta love how far we've come since then.!! ;) :D

Hey Rich, now there's a blast from the past! :D Dang, it just doesn't seem that long ago. Time flies when you're having fun, don't it? Yes, SMC certainly has come a long, long way in a relatively short period of time and we've got a boat-load of folks to thank for that, not the least of which, are the members themselves! :) Great place, great bunch of folks to hang with! :cool:

[Aaron Koehl]

Wow.. that archive is from our 2nd full day in operation.

Did you actually get it with that gross misspelling of 'woodworking'?? :p

Hey, we (SMC) ain't gettin' older, we're gettin' better! :) Not a day goes by that I'm not thankful to have this friendly little place to go to! :cool:

John,

There was this Monday a few months ago that I wasn't too thankful to have this friendly little place to go to but other than that one day, I totally agree with you!! :p :D

[Mark Singer]

Okay, Okay, Now that the Spelling Police have caught me I have made the correction and approriately assigned the credit(check original post) to Mr. Padilla. :D :p

Do I send a check to cover the spelling fine or deliver it in person next month when I'm in the Bay Area??;)

[Chris Padilla]

ROFLMAO!!! Oh no, you are coming out here??? Gulp...do you wanna meet and bond and all that happy crap??? I just went through that with Jim Becker last night...agony it was, utter agony... ;) :p Although, it was made less painful as Jim reached for his wallet to pay for the double-lobster I ordered...for me and my daughter.... :eek:

:D :D :D

:D

Well Chris....You shouldn't have put Jim in such great pain.!!!! :p ;) You should have taken his entire wallet and relieved him from the strain of carrying all that money around!! :p :rolleyes:

Now all I need to do is get Becker to send me some of that fine turning stock of his so I can "better my education".!!!

I'm always glad to here of various Creekers getting together. There ain't much that's any better than that. :D

[Dennis Peacock]

Hey, we (SMC) ain't gettin' older, we're gettin' better! :)

Hey I exactly ressemble that remark!!! :)

[Jim Becker]

There is never any money in my wallet...only plastic...and moths...until they escape.

If Chris could survive my visit, he can handle anyone! :D

Thanks Jim for the update !!

Now, How did you survive?:D

[John Miliunas]

Good question, Rich but, I have an even more pertinent one for BOTH of those guys: Where in the heck are the PICTURES??? Chris himself, being a full-fledged member of the "Picture Police" and Jim, aka Mr. Nikon, should KNOW better! :eek: Come on....You guys are slackin'! :mad: :cool:

Surely Jim had to get a picture of Chris twisting the claw off a 2lb lobster with a bib on.:eek: :D

[Chris Padilla]

Mr. Becker forgot his "cord" so he couldn't download the pictures but he took...just be patient! Oh, and Rich, I made Jim swear not to reveal the secret to putting up with me for an evening. :D You may have to just brave it yourself...without a net! :D
