AAW

[lorbay]

Well sitting at the Pheonix airport on way home after a great weekend at the AAW symposium. Gained lots of new things to try out. The only said thing about the whole weekend was A Holes with their dam cell phones on. At every rotation they said please silent your cell phones or if you dont know how too ease turn them off. I did not attend one rotation where at least one cell phone did not go off. Its going to come down to where you will have to check you cell phones at the door. Come on people. Wake up. Oh yeh there were a few that did fall asleep. Lol

I'm recovering, too! But I'm home in my recliner with my feet up, laptop on lap, cool drink in hand.

I had a great time, met some great people, reconnected with some IAP members I hadn't seen in a year or so.

I took a truck load of this mulberry to the garage every day and managed to give away two truckloads. Then after the symposium was over, four people came to my house and took as much as their vehicle could carry. Several others are coming tomorrow....I MAY get my backyard back yet.

Every time, they would say "I thought you were exaggerating when you said how much you had!" I wasn't.

I got some goodies at the trade show...a nifty little drive spur that chucks up in a scroll chuck so you don't have to dismount the chuck when you want to go back and forth between TBC and the scroll chuck.

A new scraper that I am going to grind into a negative rake, and a diamond hone for hubby for father's day.

I really learned a lot. I feel much more confident...I'm going to go out (as soon as I can move) and finish that mesquite bowl that has been eating my breakfast. Now I know what I was doing wrong.
