Mini-PA Forum Convention in Louisiana

[islandpiper]

Dinner was special last evening.   Many hot wings and much beer.....and a crew of friends. 

Mullet, Recurve Shooter, Ian Johnson and I got together at the Buffalo Wild Wings in Hammond, Louisiana.   Somebody had to hold the camera.....so here are the other three.  There must be something wrong with the lens, the fellow in the middle looks shorter than the other two.

 Ha,ha, Keith that's where the drain was in the floor. Man, I had a really good time and wish I could have stayed longer. I loved the story about the poor fool that climbed into a twelve foot Jon boat with those two young'uns. What was that guy thinking? I want to thank you and your lovely wife for a very fine Louisiana welcome. And that tour of your shop and checking out all the cool woodworking tools will be the highlight of my trip. I still can't get over how small those planers are that you use. And I think that Frankincense and Mir mixture would look good on one of my bows.
 
 I can honestly say that I have never met anyone   from this web board that didn't turn out to be like someone you have known forever. This place has a great group of people. Thanks, my Louisiana buddies.

Ya, ok, standing on the floor drain.....sure, let's go with that. 

You're welcome Eddie.   Stop back anytime!!  Thanks for dinner (and leftovers for lunch)

Damn Kieth did ya tell him you were a Yooper 

Sounds like ya all had a good time

[mullet]

 He's a smart yooper, re-read Shannon's post. Heck, you're the only yooper on this forum still there.

     Dang, looks like Wimpy, Popeye, and Brutus......   Those guys must be really big, cause as everyone knows, ol Mullet is six foot five, and rippling with muscles ......I guess he left his hair color for men at home......

hey guys i just now got back to civilization and a computer.

well, let me start off by saying WHO DAT?! 

anyway, it was great to finally get to meet Mr. Eddie, and just wish we could have stuck around longer. i think we were the loudest table in the place. and we looked a little strange in the parking lot, with him pullin out rocks and sticks from the back of the truck and givein em to us.

Mr. Eddie donated a bucket full of rocks and glass, and some tonken, to the national bleeding fingers association  which i cant wait to mess up. 

but sence i stayed up most of the night last night watching the saints try to murder farve, i think ima sleep today after school. maby tomorrow.  Thanks for droppin by mullet, and thanks Mr. Kieth for lettin us know when and where, just wish we could have stayed longer.

Not necessarily by choice eddie

That's a decent looking group, except for that short, ugly'un in the middle.....

[mullet]

 Now, thats not nice, Steve , When you look at that one in the middle, you might be looking into the future.   Trey, Keith and Ian, we'll get together again, and Go Saints!

[islandpiper]

Seriously Eddie, you look good for a 26-year old fella......really........no kidding. 

It was very generous of you to give the boys some shafts and rock.  I think sometimes we don't know what our little daily actions are worth in the long run.   I'll do my best to get these guys to sit down with a local knapper here.    I made a spine tester which Trey has, so he'll be closer to making arrows, and Ian has a fletching rig.  Now, if they can just follow instructions........

     Instructions?  Real men don't need no stinkin instructions!

                                                      Wayne

[islandpiper]

Stick, usually I'd agree with you.  Maybe i should post a couple pics of some fletching they put on for me last year.  Hmmm.........yes, they NEED instructions. 

piper

[recurve shooter]

correction, some fletching IAN put on for you last year. i have already accepted the fact that anything that ian does that needs to be done right, i have to wait till he's done, then go undo the catastrophy he created, and redo it, the right way. 

[stickbender]

     Piper, you will have to explain to "Recurve Shooter", who Popeye, Wimpy, and Brutus are.  That is what the picture of the three of them reminded me of.  Just put a brown derby on Recurves head, and a little mustash, ( I'll gladly pay you tuesday, for a hamburger today... )and sailor cap on Eddie, and a corn cob pipe sticking out of the left corner of his mouth, and a ship captain's hat on Ian's head, and he could be brutus.   Well maybe some guys need instructions.......seems like Ian got tossed under the bus.......
