I Grok that in its entirety, Pat.


I'd easily win in three categories:

Most time spent on a finished project (spoke shave, 2+ years)
Most time spent on an unfinished project (carving bench, 4 years)
Most time spent on unfinished project after the prototype was
actually built. (scroll saw, 6+ years now.)

Hehehe, good ole Lazza! In perfect shape, I can see. :)
Have a gander at the new house and the hol piccies:

Nearly there, the darn thing. Can't wait to have
the gar^H^H^Hworkshop back! There is only so much
that can be done on a Workmutt and a rental garage....
But there is a new speaker for the "home theatre"
now working. And a few other odd bits and ends.

I just spent the weekend with family and looked at a
picture of me a decade ago. Wow, I guess I did have
more hair then, and it was considerably less gray.

Welcome back from whence you traveled.

Patriarch,
whose 6 month no-kickback streak ended this afternoon, in spite of having
read the current thread. No damage, though.

Triple? Now jussaminit! I represent that remark, and I am not a triple! I'm
a Quadruple Extra Buddha!

Does hair count? I lose a few more every day.

Does that include temporary assembly tables made of plywood covered
sawhorses, still filled with those same half finished projects(as in "Dang,
I'm out of room, got to either finish something, burn it, or make another
*table*")?

That's odd. The house appears to have a pair of faces.
And what's with all those antennas on the roof? ;)
Man, are you RED in that pic with wife and daughter (?) Who
said what before snapping that shot? <har!>
Where in Oz is that ski chalet? It must have some altitude!

I'll see you and raise you a page of projects I actually
finished recently. (Someone get smelling salts for Conan!)

Are you building a new house or just remodeling the old?

That's a good start, Nahmie. It would be fun to see what everybody
looks like. I envy you the set down with LRod, he's a smart fella -
and good looking, too.

After I finish up with Jenny Craig (I'm staying in until I get to meet
Fergie) and find out who does Joan Rivers' work (Maaco?), I'll post my
pix.

Maybe we could work up a set of Wreck Baseball Cards, with stats and
stuff on the back. I'll look into this and see if Fleer will cut us a
deal.

Tom.

Yessir, I'm right boggly myself most of the time, these days.

Well, first we could start with whether the fella was Normite or
Neander (the equivalent of the National and American Leagues).

Then I reckoned we'd get into if'n or not he had a dedicated shop, as
opposed to a garAAAAUUGGH or a basemeAAAAUUUGHHH. Which would
indicate something, although I can't for the life of me figure out
what.

Then we could go to the level of equipment, the vintage of the
equipment, whether or not he played in the Crapsman League, The
Harbour Fright League, The Numerous Delta Leagues, etc. Or whether he
in fact eschewed the heavy iron and swung the sweet light bat of
Neanderdom.

A scout's description would prolly be appropriate - "good plane, no
mortice" - "cuts pins before tails" - "uses "advice" when he really
means "advise", etc.

Weights and Measure are prolly best left off - as Nahmie's picatures
show that most of us (me included) are in the Triple Extra Buddha
(Tm-LJ) area - and we don't need to get into that.

Statistics are always a part of these sorta things and the card oughta
prolly show how many hours of uptime the player has gone without
losing a major appendage (definition of this will have to be
negotiated) and things like "how many half-done pieces have I burned
before anyone else saw them" - which is my pathway into the record
books.

A comment by a fan would be nice - my current favorite is from my
seven year old son:

"Gosh Dad, I'd be really excited, if I knew what it was supposed to
be."


As always, I'm open to suggestion.

Tom.
