Annie and I had Aussie visitors today :U

"Old Croc" and his lovely wife stopped in and we had several hours of fun and pleasant conversation...and surprisingly I didn't have much difficulty with their Aussie accent. Of course they struggled with my US accent and slang :;

Crocky showed us a turned platter made from Queensland Maple...beautiful workmanship. He brought it over as a present for one of his longtime friends here in the US...lucky bloke!!!

Yea, but we didn't get around to discussing the nuclear arms reduction thing...think it might have been something important to do :?:doh:

I see the camera can take normal photos too not just micro.

I thought the discussions would have been more along the lines of "Whats stopping you turning miniature"??? :q

Hi all, it was so nice to catchup with Ed in person, what a top bloke,:2tsup: he would fit in so well at the Prossie Turnout. Sadly on the way to see Ed we dropped in to the Phillie Woodturning centre, but they were in the process of moving and there was stuff in both shops, and not open to have a gecko, but thats life.
Off to the West coast in 2 weeks to catch up with Ticklingmedusa, and hopefully some dry and warmer weather,
catchya all,
Crocy

Thanks for the comment Ian,:2tsup: Tony Ferguson has worked, 14kg for me, so sad you wont be at the Prossie Turnout this year. I am spreading the word overhere at present, I am staying just on the edge of hell, according to Ed, LOL, dosen't seem that bad, but it is as cold as hell, went dragracing yesterday, and the wind chill, was a lazy breeze that prefered to go straight through me, rather than around me.
catchya all,
Crocy.
