Good breakfast company.
Lionhrt was sporting a lovely white beard and brought a table full of friends. He counted out his grandchildren, and like a goof I felt the competitive juices flowing. hah
Lionhrt is a big guy, and when the Balrog felt his beard and gave him a hug it looked like a Squirrel Monkey climbing a mountain. Thanks for the imagery usrifle.
Chuck had the shortest drive, and I think Lionhrt and his friends had the longest. I believe he outdistanced me by close to an hour!
O_K and I talked poultry , goats, dogs and other farm life. I can barely wait to get finished with the house building project so I can start doing the stuff I enjoy. Thanks for the good example O_K.
Deadshot2 is a convincing salesman for his EV... I am still surprised that that battery is supposed to last 8 years and only lose 10% capacity. Wonderful engineering.
Then the smokers talked some shop... Seeing some of the meat smoking results on these hallowed pages makes my mouth water.
There was a general consensus that Black Friday is a nightmare. I've never seen it in real life, only heard stories, and they were enough to convince me that I'd pay double retail to avoid going on a day when women get in fistfights over half-priced socks.
lamrith wanted me to bring my tumbler vessel for inspection because he had a good idea for the rinsing step... I thought I would be funny so wrapped it up like a newborn baby. It didn't fool him, but scared the crap out of a waiter as I dropped it from about 4 feet. Then on the way out someone opened the door for me since I was carrying a baby. Nice.
Out in the parking lot lamrith gifted some screening for a future project- kind of like a secondary screen to catch 5+ pounds of SS pins.
We split our different ways, and as I was sitting at the 1st stop light I remembered that I had about 20 pounds of 8018 welding rod for Olydemon. No one had pulled in behind me yet, so I threw the beast in reverse and backed about 500 feet into the parking lot just in time to meet Oly on the way out.
At the show we were hoping to chat some more with Lionhrt, but we got one "hello" nod in and that was the last that I saw of him. I hope you found some good stuff brother.
We delivered a pound of bacon to Rencorp, and much to everyone's surprise he didn't share it. hahaha He still has the best table at the show I think.
Marcusp23 had our loot boxes ready and I added some more to the boxes as I stood there. The man gives some good bargains, and shares a ton of knowledge to boot.
We were supposed to drop by the MassiveDesign complex after the gun show, but while we were there my Missus received a call from a drywall contractor who had stood us up yesterday for a bid, and he apologized sincerely and wanted to take his measurements today. So back home instead. I was bummed, MassiveDesign sounded relieved.
We got home in time to warm the place up before the drywall guy arrived, and I held flashlight for him as he took his measurements. It was damned cold by the time we were done.
I woke up this morning feeling like an over-cooked spaghetti noodle, and I think that's how I'll be feeling at bedtime. I am BUSHED.
