It started with my appointed rounds through the heartland of America giving the latest 411 to my troops at the WI and MN sites on the company reorganization. No pink slips but there was a little "coaching".
Great day for a drive. Dodged a few grass fires along the Mississippi River valley, then headed up to the home of the world famous Mayo Clinic. Rochester Minnesota is also home to "The Richards Boat Works". Many miles from open water…. They laughed at Noah too. ;)
Creeker Dave Richards has a very nice home in a new development with a great view from the LR Window. I was amazed at the long history of WW in his family from Grandfather to Dave and his brother. Tools and talent have been passed down to my new friend. Like all of us, there is never enough shop space. His beautiful bride Kari (SP) is working on that right now shopping for a new home.
Dave has a great setup with the two-car garage make-over. Heated and ready for action, he has some really nice toyls. Jet is a dominant theme here, with a great use of recycled cabinets and carts. I got a presentation on the Legacy, and Wood Rat router machines which could be very bad for my Visa Card.
Dave works in a field (Bio Medical Electronics) that I trained for years ago with my classmates Tommy Edison and Ben Franklin. Orville and Wilbur Wright made me an offer I couldn’t refuse, but we agree on one important thing and that is shop safety. Lots of talk about power, grounding, bonding, electrical polarity, and GFICs. Part of the trade is to test these features and results can be very scary. More to follow.
The pix in these pages pale in comparison to the real thing. Dave’s use of wood for depth, detail, function and beauty are unbelievable. A very fine artist, he gave me many ideas.
Thank you sir for your worm hospitality. Best of luck to you, Kari and the next generation of WWs in your family.
