Connie and I will bring some chairs and a small portable table. We'll maybe bring a spaghetti casserole. I'll talk with Connie and see what she wants to make and let you know. We've also got a few recent things to share like.. pens, peppermills, seam rippers. Looking forward to seeing everyone.. Connie and Larry

Connie is definitely bringing a spaghetti casserole. We'll also bring a couple of chairs and a small table. Is there anything else you'd like us to bring? Look forward to seeing everyone this Sunday!.. Larry

Fair warning: Cameron Ave is closed due to construction. Those coming will need to come via Santa Rita Rd to Mohr Ave to Martin Ave.
So far it seems like it will be a small gathering: me, Dave R, Art, Larry D, Larry and Connie, Darci and Andy (later). Anyone else?

Nobody yet is bringing snack foods like chips, salsa, pretzels.
More drinks would be good too.
Whatever you feel like bringing...

Hope everybody has a great meeting, wish I was able to get there. In addition to all the "normal" craziness, one of the rental houses exploded and burned down, so I have been dealing with all the police, fire, haz mat and insurance people pretty much nonstop.
Have a great meeting and post lots of pictures. See you all at the next one.

Ken, I'm sorry to hear about The loss of your rental house. I hope things all work out for you!

Sorry to have missed the meeting. I look forward to the next one. Ken, sorry to hear about the house, hope no one was hurt. Ornaments sound like a fun thing. We should make some and bring to share. Maybe have an ornament swap.

Sorry I missed it. December 15 sounds great.
Thanks for the comments about the house. The amount of damage was really shocking. The person I rented to gave the house to another person who may have passed it on to another. According to the police, somebody in the chain turned it into a large meth lab. When it exploded, over half the house disappeared. It blew out windows and damaged a over a dozen houses around it. Now just waiting for cleanup to be signed off of before it gets bulldozed. I just feel sorry for the neighbors that had their houses damaged. Fortunately, no neighbors were hurt.

Sorry to hear about the house Ken, That is a terrible thing to have to go through for anyone. I'm glad none of the neighbors were injured in the explosion. I hope that all goes well in the recovery of insurance, cleanup, rebuilding, etc. Hopefully we can all get together sometime soon and get caught up on the stories of our lives and woodturning. I am shooting for December 15 but will have to wait and see. Good luck with everything and let us know how things are going.
I like the idea of a swap, Cindy. That can be a lot of fun.

Wow,
Sorry to hear that Ken. I can only imagine the finacial & legal mess you're having to work through.
I'll have to stay tentative for the 15th. Not sure what our schedule will be that far out. My wife's job has been very reactionary all year. They say go and she has to go with very little notice. She's working in PA this week.
Yesterday I had an accident working in the garage. I tore a ligament in my left thumb and when the ligament tore it took part of the bone with it so now it's fractured to top it off. Aside from being very painful, I'm stuck with a hard cast for two months. I might need surgery but I won't know for a few more days. I think I can manage to turn some wood with the cast on my left hand... I hope so because I have some pens to finish for a customer in the next few weeks. I also have a large (for me) Christmas order I haven't even started yet.
