    Jerry - You have the touch!

    Most impressive spindle still mounted. The pattern repeats flawlessly. BRAVO ZULU!

    Too bad Jerry, you seem like such a nice guy. What they haven't told you is that when you start hangin' around with this group your insurance rates go up, banks won't talk to you, collection agencies start calling you at work, it rains a lot more (notice the nice winter weather you've been having), people start walking on the other side of the street to avoid you and your dog will quit waggin' its tail in friendly anticipation of your attention - cause it doens'nt want yours. Yup, too bad.

    P.S. Looks like we're going to have a Creeker's meeting on Saturday, Feb. 25th in Lansing. Come on over and we can help with counseling.

    Jim, It sounds like I may be on double secret probation for a loooooooong time!

    Keith, My Rikon runs nice and smooth. I am having a little trouble with the tail stock slipping so I'm going to try to adjust it tonight.

    Andy and Robert, Don't look too close at the spindle still on the lathe. It's not quite as perfect as you think!

    John, Is that why it quit snowing around here? I'd sure hate to be the one responsible for all the ski hills going out of business! P.S. I'm going to try to get to Lansing on the 25th of Feb. for that counseling session!

    Jerry - Only Dean Wormer can remove the vile veil of Double Secret Probation. And he hasn't ever posted here. So yes, the wait could be extensive

    Oh! Well in that case, just post some pics of the event and you'll be free to embarass yourself just like the rest of us. Don't forget the mustard.
