Old Croc, Hughie & Wheelinround

[wheelinround]

To say I have had a spate of visitors recently would be an understatement but when they come in droves what else can I do but smile.:D

Last week it was Paul (Wood Nut) on retrieval mission he had left his miniature turnings the few weeks before, also dropped off for Hughie and I some real nice River Oak slabs approx 12" sq x 2 1/2"

Yesterday a visit from groeneaj (Andy) http://www.woodworkforums.com/f69/pen-turning-help-164375/

Today Hughie and Old Croc (Richard all the way down from Townsville :o Not sure how he did it but he brought down some lovely Quilted QLD Maple some for Hughie and myself. Many thanks Richard I wish I could have given you more to take home but I believe that Burl Hughie is sending back exceeds baggage limits as it is.


Many Thanks Richard great meeting you and spending the time together. They arrived about 11am and left around 3pm.:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

Hughie Ray & Richard (Old Croc)


:C Thanks Hughie asked Sue for a piece of fruit cake after dinner..............I got told Hughie ate last 3 pieces.:~

[Mobyturns]

Recognize one mug shot & great to put a face to two others. Richard is the man for HQ timber. Very generous to personally home deliver the quilted maple. :2tsup:

Old Croc, I dropped in on Bruce & Lyn at Mission Bch just before new year and shared a few yarns. Then spent most of a day with PowderPost and his lovely other half, and went over to see old Jim in Mareeba. Will have to catch up on the tellembone.

You're quite a popular bloke Ray......
I hope they weren't late for an appointment like I was a couple of months back after a good chat.
And to say the least, Sue cake must have been good if it's all gone now.....seem to remember she does a good biscuit & slice.
Cheers, crowie

:roll: I did keep saying time to go didn't I think even Sue said you had to stop eating and go :;

Yes and I didn't drag the camera out then either.

That was some of the best fruit cake I have had in years, so much so I 'm gonna ask Sue for the recipe. :2tsup: Fruit cake is one of my addictions... among a few others :U

This comes with a high price Hughie not sure if you can afford it................payment made to me of course always hoped there was a way of getting some Dead Finish :U

[Mobyturns]

Aren't they one and the same?:spyme: :D

Maybe I should have said "older" Jim in Mareeba. PP is in the sticks not town. I think you've seen "older" Jim's rocking horses at Prossy. Mind you that Nthn Silky Oak horse by PP is pretty good.

[Ed Reiss]

I still say you guys are a "motley crew"....but ain't it grand to get together sometimes?!

Art...don't you mean the un-knowing and helpless??? :roll::D

[Old Croc]

Cant work out how to use the multiquote thingy yet, but hoping Santa will bring me a new computor, :2tsup: sick of the limitations of this tablet thingy,
"Mobyturns"
Yes, hoping to slow down a bit soon, nearly finished No1 daughters list of demands, she has taken over the title SHMBO from the wife,
"Artme"
Will have to catch up next time I come down to see my boss and crew that are in Scarybourgh, PM to come,

"Crowie",
Made it to the specialist on time, but really did hate having to leave Hughie, Ray and Sue.
"Ed"
"I still think you guys are a "motley crew" and "Art, dont you mean the un-knowing and helpless"

You forget I will be on you doorstep in 9 months! so lock up all those gals in Pensacola

"All"
I think the cake they are all raving about, is the Coles brand one that I brought for smoko, wasnt bad,

Yes it was a very good day, and it looks like I may be back there again in a month, (Jetstar loves us)" Ed, thats our budget no frills airline", so who knows what will happen then,
kindest regards to everyone,
Richard, aka Old Croc.

Isinit allways the way when you ASSUME something :doh:. Ray, humblest apologies to Sue, :D now how to patch this up??
Hopefully 1/2 tonne of penblanks should start to help. Madalyn has to come back to see the Jaw specialist again in 4 weeks, but if I dont come with her it will be in June in my truck, so Sawdust Maker will have to eat the Coles cake,
Crocy.

Well I think we let you suffer enough Richard............apology accepted :; No sorry just neglected to reply sorry meant to and just forgot:rolleyes:

No need to patch up at all

1/2 tonne pen blanks :o I should read everything fully before opening my mouth/putting fingers to keyboard.:doh: I'll have to have a GtG Richard so pen turners of Sydney could share the hoard. You've seen the space I have :roll: and I am trying all things to cull heaps without tossing it away.

More than welcome for a 2nd visit no need for bribes...........well maybe small ones LOL NO CAKE ............our treat.

Oh I agree Nick can have the Coles cake then again Sue is about to cut me a piece for afternoon tea.:U

[wheelinround]

:rolleyes: Hey Richard is it that long ago??
