Stan - I very much wish I had more time this weekend to be able to meet up with you. We did the Zoo today - woodland park or something like that - looked at the Space Needle (rather unimpressive! My wife said "lets just go up in the black building, its twice as tall!" We're in Lacey (Olympia) right now in a nice motel - Ameritel? - Anyways, either at Blade West, or at our NW get together campout (impending!) we'll have a couple of beers. Dan and I had a quick breakfast at a nice little pancake house, then took in the view (and a couple cigarettes!) above the river, and I had to head out.

I've met 3 Dogs so far - all have been great guys. The Scrapyard community is top notch and full of great people.

Unsub - I know what you mean - meeting Dan today wasn't like "meeting" someone for the first time - it was like seeing an old buddy or something - very cool.

Face - glad my blue Ranger inspired you some. It was a total ripoff of Ted's recurve, but I took it a step further with the satin and blue. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Dan's Orange handle RD7 is a beast, its HEAVIER than my RD9! A LOT heavier!

Andy - I didn't realize that the mudder grip on the SS4 was going to be so hand filling - I really like it, and will get one eventually.

Mac - don't eat me.

Jeff - looked at Dan's sheaths and the coin holder - you're the man - amazing stuff. I'll shoot you a PM, but I'm very interested in getting in on a coin holder whenever you happen to be making some again. VERY cool, bro - precise and perfect.

Mag - come out any time!

Vic - Dan and I talked about your chopper collection and beautiful property today. Can't wait to meet you in person - one of these years at Blade!

Kraz - dog chow sounds good! Dan and I were talking about you today when the Yard Hook was being discussed. He asked if I had one - and I do because YOU hooked me up! Thanks again.

Dan M - I'll surely see you eventually - if anything, I'm going to tag along on one of your Indiana Jones-esque adventures!

You guys all rock. Time to go to the pool!
