Hi, yeah, I'm getting a stash of goodies to bring over.
I'm hoping some of the 'Get Del to the Classic' fund can be used to ship a few things across the US.
I've got a nice bit of pattern welded steel from Mick the Blacksmith as a thank you to KillrDuck for raffling that knife.

There is a bow earmarked for JW too (But don't tell him... right? ;) ... shhhh  ::) ) and some other stuff.

Del made it to the Classic, had a blast and is on his way home with lots of tales to tell.  8) It was a real pleasure to meet and chat with Del.

He's a character, that's for sure. I thought he was going to go light weight on us the first night till I got him out of bed. ::) :D After that he was a whirl wind of motion having a "cracker of a time", to borrow one of his sayings,(imagine the funny accent). ;)

     so did he get into any shine?  I mean the real stuff, the good stuff, not the stuff you have to cover up with cherries, or peaches, or whatever.  So does anyone have any pictures of him, and of the classic in general?  Glad mullet got to go, and not Turkey.  I had some Friends go to turkey on Vacation, a while back.

Yup, I got some 'shine... I was careful not to drink too much.
JW brought a bottle of red wine witch we shared at the pot luck dinner. I found it a great aid to making decisions about tillering.
I had a tricky knot I was worryin about, but after 1/2 bottle of red I just rasped that bad boy off :laugh:
You guys were great and there is no truth in the rumour that I was payin' any attention to the ladies even when they teased me by sayin' Rendezvous in the warm honey drawl ::).
I've only just get back so I'm a bit jet lagged. I'll post some pics later... all the goodies I was given got through customs ok.
"No Sir, that's not real fur, nor real horn... no that flint ain't sharp...
The arrows? Nope they're blunt... couldn't hurt a fly with that little toy bow Rich gave me O:) "
To many good stories to recount here, but Cody made me laugh when the were handing out the prizes. Some kid called Zak won a prize...
I said, "That's a cool name, I used to be a Zak when I had all my hair"
Cody said..
"Now you're more of a Bob" ... Gotta say it in the right accent, but you guys know how to do that.
Del (the Bob... cat)
