I will not be doing any seminars at the ICRBE this year. I may get a chance to attend but even that's "iffy". Nothing wrong I just have a schedule conflict this year. However, I will be sending a raffle give-away donation and I will be there in spirit as hopefully Terry and JP will have put the finishing touches on a couple of bamboo rod blanks that I gave them at the end of last year's show. Sorry this year I'll miss hanging out with Mike, Billy, Doc, Jim, JP, Terry and all the other fantastic folks but I hope to see you all next year

Bummer. I wanted to see how much more finish was piled up on that lathe. You will be missed.

There's lots more goo piled on the lathe! Lots and lots more. Which in a way is a good thing. Some time back I read how everyone was keeping them clean and re-cleaning them. Mine is a fuzzy mess - threads sticking out of multi-colored epoxy (from changing blank colors - but the lathe still runs smooth. I'll miss everyone too - believe me if I could have planned this differently I would have.

Ken,
Since my new knees are working pretty well, I'll be driving down to the show... if there's anything you'd like me to carry down (or back), let me know.

Clyde
