    Gawd...reminds me of those brain-teasers you used to see:
    "How many things are wrong with this picture?"
    Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
    "Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.
    We used to be hunter gatherers. Now we're shopper borrowers.
    The three most important words in the English language: "Front Towards Enemy".
    The world makes a lot more sense when you remember that Butthead was the smart one.
    You can never be too rich, too thin, or have too much ammo.

    I do believe a great time was had by all involved today. Spring and Jill did a great job with the food. Thanks Jill for some great cake which topped off a great meal.

    We all got to celebrate Spring & Jill's grand daugters first B-Day. As always Spring is a wealth of knowledge in the WW'ing dept. I always pick up ideas and get helpful hints when I visit. Problem is I can't seem to remember them by the time I get home. Damn CRS.

    Well, I'm going to put this puppy to sleep for now. More to come tomorrow when we all meet at our house for some beef ribs, chicken and other stuff to eat as well as a libation or two.

    Shop tour was conducted and woodworking information was shared.

    Here John points out to Larry how the Wixey for tablesaw prototype evolved.

    Please note that no machines were powered up during this tour!

    Gee Steve, I knew Brett is a big guy but, never thought he was quite that big!!! Heck, you'd think he's got enough $$$ to buy his own car or ride in a limo, not hitch a ride on the side of a truck!!!

    Is this taken as you were zooooming along on the Eisenhower Expy.,through Chitown at 70 the other day?

    If so, whoever took it had really steady hands and did a good job, one can hardly see any movement at all.
