For the past couple of years I have enjoyed this site everyday. I have met several fellow rod builders and made many friends here. I am taking a break from buiding rods in exchange for moving and building a new home and shop. The change from Mississippi to Iowa will be great but we are looking foreward to it. My shop will be relocated to the NE part of the state and I hope to meet many of my fellow builders from IA,MN and WI soon. I also hope to be back in buisiness and be in High Point in Feb. I will disconnect my computer next week and will not have a new E mail adress for several months but as soon as I do you can bet I'll be back on this phorum. Thanks agin and so long for a while.

I should mention that you will particularly enjoy the big show this coming year. I learned this morning that three new specialty vendors will be joining us and I think they will really expand the variety and type of product we have been seeing at the event.

As good as the events in 2004, 2005 and 2006 were, the 2007 event will dwarf them in every way.

Sam sorry to see you go! I will hold onto the fine fine decals that were shipped to me by mistake from Decal Connection. Come to think about it I may just put them on a rod and send it to you for your new house opening. When you get your PC set up send me an email.

Bill
