I sat down today and planned my route out to East Petersburg. Looks like about 6 1/2 hours and 318 miles. I hope many of our members here can make it as I look forward to meeting a lot of you folks in person. I also hope the dates don't change....AGAIN....my calander is beginning to look like a game of X's and O's!! LOL!!

I'll be there. Hope to meet a lot of members there.

Unfortunately I can't make it this year.
The next one, you can count me in.
I will have new shoes by then and if I start walking early I should meet the deadline.

On the road again ...

Good to know. I have the dates written in pen, which as we all know means nothing more than they need white out to alter.

Unlike Neal, I have yet to figure out how I will actually get there but well, tank up the truck and head south is always a start when you live in Canada.

I look forward to meeting folks from the forum and the faces of the Fox Chapel team. Also, definately want a signed copy of Neal's new book for my scroll saw library.

Jeez--
Sometimes I wish these things were held in the middle of the country. Even that would be along way from where I live. Traveling from here (Texas) to(where was that place, East Pignuckle?) there is about the same distance as from here to Honduras. Oh well, I wish you all the best and maybe if I win the lottery, or a seat on a Greyhound, I will attend one of these thingies some day.

But if you're going to have a party, wouldn't you want to hold it at your house....I know there is going to be a scroll saw picnic in Alabama and Wisconsin this year--that's not quite as far a drive...

Bob

[Old Mooner]

Drive? Do people still do that? Kidding. I agree that most people would rather give a party in their own neighborhood, but what if you gave a party/picnic and no one came? I'm just venting. Alabama is 650 miles from here--I know, I was stationed in Montgomery with the USAF. Of course, there are always folks who live farther away than I do. The gang in New Zealand, Gill, some of the Canadians, etc, so I suppose I shouldn't gripe, but i will, I will. Moan, moan, grump, grump.

Having a "Field of Dreams" moment--Build it and they will come...

Or a Wayne's World 2 Moment "Book them and they will come"

A Fox Chapel moment "(Scroll it / Carve it / Burn it) and they will come...

I'm soooooo not going to mention the 'Aladdin' moment!!!

Thanx, Gill, both for not mentioning it and for making my day!

Aladin

Just had to tell ya!!!! I read Gill's post and just didn't get it. Went to the kitchen for more coffee and about busted a gut laughing....it finally hit my weak brain...LOL!!!!! I'm gettin slow in my old age.

[BobD (Archive)]

I didn't get it until I read your post, Neal...

An Alladin moment...I'll have to remember that...

Now all my coworkers are looking over my cubical walls wondering why I'm laughing so hard...how do I explain it and keep a modicum of dignity...

Bob

[lucky788scroller]

LOl, I guess the reason I just dont get is because I dont watch tv much??Or is my head as hard as dad always said? dale

[Gill]

I'm (almost) ashamed of that post, Dale. It's a joke which is innocuous enough until you realize what it's about. Unfortunately, there's no way to explain it in polite society.

Keep thinking about the logic of Bob's post:

a "Field of Dreams" moment - Build it and he will come...
a "Wayne's World 2" moment - Book them and they will come...

What did Aladdin do along the same lines? Now consider the double entendre !
