Hey!!! Wait a minute!!!!! We were supposed to be bringing our "A" game? That wasn't in the rules. :wink: Now everyone who is still working on their pen will have an advantage! :rolleyes:

Just think of it as handicapping the big dogs. That way it wont seem so one sided!:biggrin: If fact you might swell up and swagger around the house after that thought. For a minute or two anyway.:biggrin:

I tried to enter a blank into the color casting but Jonathon knew it was a blank he made and gave to me so I didnt do to well in that contest. It would be better if that guy would drink then maybe he wouldnt remember every blank he has ever made.

Its now about supper time here on the east coast. Enjoy a nice meal and then get your butt out to the shop and make a pen, take a picture,(maybe 3) and submit it in the contest. West coast people we are not on Island time get those pens done and get em in. We are getting down to the wire and it will soon be to late.

We have 3 more super stars sneaking their pens in at the last part of the day.
I have an entry for Leatherman,Invisible Man and Daleandjeno8, that brings us up to 18 Entries so far. Far short of the 14,000 I expected. Thats ok,it is still a tough field and there are some really great pens.
