I had a really nice time last evening! Let me explain.
I am at a conference for my work this week. Now normally, I detest traveling for work. Oh, I used to think it was fun. But anymore it just isn't fun being away from home unless it's for a vacation!
But here I am in Post Falls Idaho for the week. So what is a penturner supposed to do in Post Falls for a good time? (trick question)
Well, Post Falls is where Russ Fairfield calls home. I had the opportunity to visit Russ and his lovely Wife, and we chatted for hours. I got the chance to see some fantastic pens close up, and I have to say there aren't many who are better at this than Russ! His home is filled with wonderful wooodturning pieces of all kinds. We had a great time just chatting about all kinds of things. His Wife accused us of being like a couple of old women, gossiping about penturners and pens alike!
I had a wonderful time! Russ is such a nice, warm individual. I felt like we were old friends right from the start! Russ makes a couple of pens that are just unlike anything that anybody else is making right now. I now have one of those in my pocket! And not to spill the beans, but for those of you who collect Russ's videos, you might want to put a little money aside!!!
Thanks Russ! You really made my time away from home enjoyable! And thanks also for the cool ideas for pens that are now swimming around in my head!
